In class - 

  • Reviewed 4 General Reaction Types: 
    • Synthesis
    • Decomposition
    • Single Replacement
    • Double Displacement
  • Reviewed 4 Special Reaction Types:
    • Combustion Rxn
    • Precipitation Rxn

  • Writing Chemical Reactions Lab
  • Quiz Next Class!
If you were not in the lab, please write the reactions for the following.  
Also make sure to write the the type of reaction taking place.
Rxn 1: A solution of silver nitrate reacts with hydrochloric acid to form a white precipitate and cloudy colorless solution.

Rxn 2:  When nitric acid is poured into a beaker filled with a solution of sodium hydrogen carbonate, a fountain of bubbles escape from the beaker, leaving only a clear, colorless solution.

Rxn 3:  When calcium metal is dropped into a solution of concentrated hydrochloric acid, white smokes rises, leaving a clear, colorless solution.

Rxn 4:  (CH3)2CHOH burns oxygen in the air when a match is taken to it.  

Rxn 5:  A piece of soft, silvery sodium metal is dropped into a beaker of water creating a violent reaction where sparks can be seen as large amounts of vapor escape from the top of the beaker.

Thursday, February 3, 2011

Wed / Thurs., Feb 2 & 3, 2011

In class:

  • Returned Quizzes - Moles & Mass
  • Reviewed Empirical & Molecular Formula Problems
  • Discussed Chromatography separation techniques w/ paper chromatography mini-lab activity
Homework:
  • Percent Composition & Molecular Formula WS (below)

Please note that questions 1 & 2 are incorrect.  Both problems were percent composition problems, but I treated them like empirical formula problems.  You should have gotten the correct answer by multiplying the % composition of each element by the total mass of the sample.  For example, A 2.786 gram sample of a substance containing 66.5% C would be:
(0.665) x (2.786 g) = 1.85 grams of Carbon.


NOTE:
  • Percent Composition Labs are due Friday 2/4
  • Quiz covering percent composition problems, empirical & molecular formula problems
