Aim: To observe several important types of chemical reactions and
to write equations for these reactions.
Material:
Balance
Spatula
Bunsen
Metal tongs
Wax taper
Dropper
Beaker (100mL)
Test tubes (one large
fitted with rubber
stopper and plastic gas
delivery tubing, two
small)
Steel wool
Zinc strips (two)
Copper strip (one)
IB Chemistry HL Lab 3
Copper(II) carbonate
[CuCO3] (2g)
Magnesium ribbon (two
3cm strips)
Siler nitrate solution
[AgNO3] 0.1 M (30mL)
Sodium bromide solution
[NaBr] 0.1 M (5mL)
Copper(II) sulfate
solution [CuSO4] 0.1 M
(30mL)
Sodium hydroxide
solution [NaOH] 2 M
(5mL), 0.1M (30mL)
Hydrochloric acid [HCl] 2
M (10mL), 0.1 M (30mL)
Equation:
CaCO3(s)+2HCl(aq)CO2(g)+H2O(l)+CaCl2(aq)
Oxidation of a metal
Method: Hold a 3cm strip of magnesium ribbon in some
tongs and heat in a Bunsen flame above a mat.
Observations:
Magnesium (Mg): Solid, opaque, shiny, silver,
malleable, ductile, with traces of oxidation (thus less shiny)
Reaction:
For the first 2 seconds, nothing happens. Then a
blinding, intense white light is produced.
Equation:
2Mg(s)+O2(g)2MgO(s)
2 mols of Magnesium and 1 mol of Oxygen gas yield 2
mols of Magnesium Oxide.
Reaction:
Milky white/yellow precipitate formed
Equation:
AgNO3(aq)+NaBr(aq)NaNO3(aq)+AgBr(s)
1 mol of Silver Nitrate and 1 mol of Sodium Bromide
yield 1 mol of Sodium Nitrate and 1 mol of Silver
Bromide.
Part B
Method: Place 2-3 mL of 0.1 M CuSO4 solution into a
test tube and add about the same volume of 2 M NaOH
solution.
Observations:
Reaction:
Color change,
darker blue precipitate formed
Equation:
CuSO4(aq)+2NaOH(aq)Cu(OH)2(s) + Na2SO4(aq)
1 mol of Copper (II) Sulfate and 2 mol of Sodium
Hydroxide yield 1 mol of Cupper (II) Hydroxide and 1
mol of sodium Sulfate.
Part #8:
Method: Place about 25 mL of 0.1 mol dm-3 CuSO4
solution into a 100 mL beaker and place into the beaker a freshly
cleaned zinc strip.
Observations:
Part #9
Method: Place about 25 mL of 0.1 mol dm-3 Pb(NO3)2
solution into a 100 mL beaker and place into the beaker a freshly
cleaned zinc strip.
Observations:
Reaction:
Zinc turns greyish black. Faster reaction than 8.
Texture looks spongy.
There are shiny specks within the greyish black.
Equation:
Zn(s)+Pb(NO3)2(aq)Zn(NO3)2(aq)+Pb(s)
1 mol of Zinc and 1 mol of Lead (II) Nitrate yield 1 mol
of Zinc Nitrate and 1 mol of Lead.
Part #10
Method: Place about 25 mL of 0.1 mol dm-3 Ag(NO3)
solution into a 100 mL beaker and place into the beaker a freshly
cleaned copper strip.
Observations:
