Types of Chemical Reactions
The purpose of this experiment was to make observations of the reactants and products and then later use this information to write a balanced chemical equation. My question before this experiment was how will the reactants affect the products. The hypothesis I made before this experiment was that based off of the materials being used, a gas will form, and so will a solid. I still do not know what the variables are in this experiment such as the independent or dependent.
The materials used in this experiment were:
Bunsen Burner
Striker
Tongs
Test Tube
Test Tube Rack
Test Tube Holder
Spatula
Sand Paper
Transfer Pipette
Tweezers
Evaporating dish
The substances used in this experiment were:
Copper wire
Sodium carbonate
Copper sulfate
Potassium iodide
Lead nitrate
Zinc
In this experiment we started off by placing about 20 drops of copper sulfate solution into a test tube and then put zinc into the test tube and watched it as single replacement occurred and zinc sulfate was the product.Next we put 10 drops of potassium iodide into another test tube and 10 drops of lead nitrate into a separate test tube. Then we added the lead nitrate into the potassium iodide and watched as double replacement occurred as lead iodide formed and potassium nitrate formed as well. Next, I sanded down a piece of 3-inch copper wire until it was shiny and watched as combustion and synthesis occurred when we held the piece of copper over a bunsen burner. Copper oxide was found formed on the wire. The other reactant in this equation was oxygen gas. After this, we used a small spatula to place about half an inch of sodium carbonate in a clean test tube and then heated the tube over the flame and watched as decomposition took place and carbon dioxide was released. The reaction was a gas formation and 2 products were formed. This was the lab experiment.
Based on this experiment and my hypothesis made beforehand, my hypothesis was almost correct other than the fact that I did not think that color change would occur so I was surprised by that. But other than that, my data did support my hypothesis showing that a gas and a solid were formed in two different ways. One error I made was when I was recording the data in a data table, I did not notice a color change at first but I rewatched the experiment. One way that I could have improved this lab investigation was pay more attention to the precise details because those make a huge difference.
