Lab Report Unknown Sample

Decent Essays

An unknown sample is identified using the relationship between the mass of the product and mass of the reactant in a balanced chemical equation using the involved species molar mass.
THEORY
The relationship between mass of the product and mass of the reactant taken directly from the balanced chemical equation and molar masses of the involved species is used in this experiment to find the mass of the unknown sample. In this experiment the unknown sample is found out ,which will be on of the following salts:NaHCO3,Na2CO3,KHCO3K2CO3.Only the fixed mass of reactant react together to produce fixed mass of products.
At first the unknown sample is heated. If the sample is a carbonate, then there will not be a any chemical reaction .So ,therefore
