Solid Magnesium Lab Report

In this experiment, solid magnesium is used with hydrochloric acid to produce magnesium (II) chloride and hydrogen gas. The gas is measured with an inverted graduated cylinder. Solid magnesium was under the cylinder while HCI are poured from a funnel into the cylinder to perform the reaction where hydrogen gas is trap inside the graduated cylinder. The average molar volume of hydrogen gas at STP is 20.839 L/mole for the experiment, which is about 6.97% off from the true value. One potential error could be from the funnel. Since HCL is pour in from the funnel, H2 gas could possibly escape from the funnel. A suggestion would be to close the holes of the funnel after all the HCL is poured in, so gas would not be able to escape out. Another

    Copper Chloride Hydrate Lab Report

    The purpose of this lab was to determine the formula of copper chloride hydrate by dehydration through heating, rehydration through adding water back in, the reaction of aluminum with the copper chloride hydrate to produce solid copper, and the weight of this copper. To accomplish this, a petri dish was weighed and 1.01 g of copper chloride hydrate was added to the dish. The solid salt crystals were broken up to make sure that all of the hydrate would be heated the same. Next, the petri dish and hydrate were heated upon a hot plate for roughly 15 minutes, until all the salt crystals were brown instead of blue. This indicated that all of the water had been burned out of the hydrate, leaving dehydrated copper chloride.…

    MG-2s In Physical Therapy Case

    I am in receipt of an MG-2 form filed by Dr. Czajka on 08/23/17. The doctor is requesting back therapy, two (2) to three (3) times a week for six (6) to eight (8) weeks. The Special Funds approved the MG-2 on 08/24/17. It is my understanding the doctor is going to ask for a years worth of physical therapy as he has done in the past. This MG-2 is good for a eight (8) weeks and he certainly can renew it after you have done the eight (8) weeks of physical therapy.…

    Unknown Lab Report

    The focus of this lab was to identify an unknown organism based on its characteristics and the results from each of the tests. There will be various of test to choose from in order to identify the unknown organism, which will eliminate numerous possibilities and narrow it down to one. All the fundamental skills that we have learned and practiced in the lab will be used to perform on our unknown such as aseptic technique, microscopic examination, the use of differential media, and determining if it’s positive or negative. Performing aseptic techniques is the most crucial step that requires the utilizing of transferring, inoculating, and storing bacterial cultures and media. Aseptic technique is defined as procedures that prevent contamination…

    Standard Molar Volume Lab Report

    The purpose of this lab was to determine the standard molar volume of hydrogen gas. In order to measure the standard molar volume, we needed the volume of H2, which we measured at 0.035 L inside the burette. Also, we needed the number of moles of hydrogen; we calculated this by doing the mole to mole ratio of Magnesium and Hydrogen while using the balanced equation. The number of moles turned out to 0.00144. Then, dividing the volume of H2 by the number of moles of H2 , I calculated the standard molar volume of H2 to be 22.2L. First plausible source of error can be that we did not use exactly 10ml of HCL, instead, we used 9 ml.…

    Copper Sulfate Lab Report

    The lab's goal was to purify a heterogeneous mixture of solid sand, Copper sulfate, & Potassium nitrate, wanting a resulting outcome of pure Potassium nitrate. The experiment required the separations of all components at different steps along the way. The hypothesis was to be able to have pure Potassium nitrate by following the procedure: separation of sand by its lack of solubility and Copper sulfate with its different temperature change to Potassium nitrate. This procedure, however, would not lead to a 100% pure Potassium nitrate, as the final product of Potassium nitrate still retained .05% Copper sulfate. Concluding that this error possibly came from the experiments lack of time.…

    Sample Lab Report

    From the table, we can see there were no colonies growing on the tryptophan dropout and the isoleucine drop out, on all the medium plates except for the 1X dilution Tobacco medium plate. For the positive control, increasing concentrations of ethyl methane sulfonate (EMS) resulted in a decreasing number of colonies growing on the medium plates. This means that EMS is mutating the yeast in such a way that they would not be able to grow on the YPD. For each concentrations of the positive control, there are 3 different colours of the colonies with white being the most common. White means that there were no mutations to the yeast, which could explain why there are so many colonies as they are able to grow on the YPD plate.…

    Erlenmeyer Error

    A possible error can happen when you put the rubber stopper back onto the Erlenmeyer flask. If you do not secure the stopper onto the flask there may be room for the Hydrogen gas to escape which would significantly change the results of the experiment. With altered results the final conclusion of the experiment would be inaccurate which would render the experiment obsolete. Another possible source of error is if you allow oxygen to go to the top of the gas collector and forget to record the volume that it takes up.…

    If During An Air Bubble Leaked Into The Eudiometer

    7. If during the experiment an air bubble leaked into the eudiometer tube while it was being inverted in the water bath than the measured volume of hydrogen gas would be off. Ultimately the measured volume of hydrogen gas would be too high because the gas being recorded would not only include hydrogen gas, but the air that leaked into the eudiometer as well. Because the volume of hydrogen gas would be too high the calculated molar volume of hydrogen would also be too high. This is because to find the calculated molar volume of hydrogen you divide the recorded volume of hydrogen gas by the theoretical number of moles of hydrogen.…

Hagting & M. van Zuylen Abstract Luminol was synthesized and the light intensity of its luminescence was tested. The yield of the synthesis was 55%. Measurements of the intensity of luminescence were done under standard and optimal conditions resulting in peak intensities of ±0.02 lux (standard) and ±0.03 lux (optimal). It has been shown that an increase in pH results in an increase in intensity with a maximum of pH=11.33.…

    When comparing the same substance under different conditions, the combined gas law can be mathematically written as (P"1" V"1" )/T"1" = (P"2" V"2" )/T"2" . Since the conditions of the experiment were not at standard temperature and pressure, the combined gas law is required in order to calculate the corresponding volume of hydrogen gas at STP. Single displacement reactions were also…

    Unknown Salt Lab Report

    During the entire lab, the main purpose was to, Identify the given unknown salt through a variety of experiments which yielded valuable quantitative and qualitative data. Before any experiments were carried out, multiple properties were compiled in order to have a source to compare the found results with. Beginning with the first experiment to determine if the unknown salt was hygroscopic, efflorescent, deliquescent or none of the above properties. This test was done through weighing an amount of the salt and reweighing after 15 minutes which would show if the salt had one of the above properties (either by gaining mass from the air, losing mass to the air, turning to solution) or none of the properties. Furthermore, tests were done to identify…
