Unknown Substances In Science Experiments

The primary goal of this laboratory is to correctly identify an unknown substance. To achieve this task, one may use various tests that reveal both chemical and physical properties of a substance. By comparing the results of a known substance and the unknown substance, one may eliminate alternative possibilities and more accurately predict the undisclosed compound. Furthermore, by performing these tests, data can be collected and verified regarding chemical and physical properties of the unknown. Understanding the chemical properties of a known substance aids one’s understanding of the unknown based on comparative analysis of the results of the tests.

The purpose of this lab is to test substances and to determine the physical and chemical properties of substances.

4. The melting points of the solids were tested by placing them in crucibles and heating them using a hot plate.

I believe mystery powder 14 is powdered sugar (sucrose). I was first able to eliminate both of the known flours, the cornstarch and the baking powder with a vinegar solubility test because the powder immediately fizzed and, after being stirred with a toothpick, dissolved. The powders I was able to eliminate either did not bubble or did not dissolve into the vinegar. Noting the physical properties, that the powder was a bright, opaque white that formed small clumps, I predicted that the powder was powdered sugar. To confirm my prediction, I performed three other tests. The heat test was consistent was powdered sugar, resulting in streams of smoke, a sweet smell, and a caramelization of the powder. The sodium hydroxide (NaOH) test further support

Identifying an unknown substance can be accomplished with the use of multiple scientific tests, which help narrow down the possibilities of the unknown compound. The unknown substance that I was given was unknown number A84841BIR, and posed to be a real challenge since I needed to test two different molecular combinations for this specific substance. Once the number of moles in substance was calculated using the ideal gas law, I divided it from the sample mass number after heating and obtained that the molarity of my unknown chemical was 58.93 g/mol. To find my molecular formula I calculated the mass of each element, then the moles, lastly I took the smallest whole-number ratio. Using the molarity calculated I was able to do some research to get a better understanding about what my unknown chemical could possibly be. Once I’ve collected all my data together and strenuously researched the web for articles relating to understanding Infa-Red spectroscopy, I should be able to make an educated guess upon what my unknown solution could be.

Identifying the three components of the unknown mixture, a 1.5 g sample was obtained and dissolved in 30 mL of diethyl ether. This solution was then poured into a separatory funnel with a funnel with the stopcock closed, and inverted twice so that there would be a formation of different layers in the mixture. In order to extract the base from the mixture, approximately 14 mL of 10% hydrochloric acid was added into the funnel and mixed. To mix the hydrochloric acid thoroughly the funnel was gently shaken with the pressure released by removing the stopper intermittently. The solution then separated into an aqueous layer at the bottom, and an organic layer at the top (containing the acid).1 The aqueous layer (containing the base) was released into an

The Chemical Baggies Lab demonstrated to students how certain chemicals cause diverse chemical or physical changes depending on what substances were mixed together in a designed controlled experiment. During the process of this experiment, almost identical observations were made about different combinations of chemicals that had at least one substance in common. For example, the frequent observation that was made throughout the experiment was that heat was felt. Even though there were distinct chemical combinations, there was one substance that generated a certain observation or characteristic, such as a mixture has to comprise of the phenol red for there to be a color change, which was learned from this lab. Also, calcium chloride

formulas, such as percent by mass. Eventually, we were able to determine the empirical formula of the unknown substance.

Aim: To classify unknown substances according to their structure type and to observe how the structure of materials affects their uses.

The experiment at hand involved a lot of different steps and goals, yet the entirety of the experiment was aimed at determining the concentration of Ni2+ and Co2+ ions in an unknown solution. Such an experiment is greatly important and has several benefits. First of all, the experiment teaches and reinforces multiple different skills that every scientist should be familiar with, such as using a spectrophotometer, diluting solutions, and creating calibration curves. On a much broader scale, however, the experiment provides a simple and relatively quick way to determine the concentration of an unknown solution. Such a tool is very useful and important in modern society, for a wide variety of reasons; yet determining the toxicity or potential danger of a solution is probably one of the most important uses, whether it be in the lab, medicine, nutrition, or some other field of study.

The purpose of this experiment is to identify an unknown substance by measuring the density and boiling point. I will be able to conclude which substance is my own from a list of known options stating what its real boiling point and density is.

A substance investigation was executed to decide the event of a few key angles in companion looked into diary articles pertinent to the exploration fields of e-health and health education. This strategy is normally utilized as a part of health related writing, and, as per the Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Writing, an expanding number of articles are making utilization of this strategy every year. A substance examination ordinarily includes building up key exploration questions, picking a gathering of information, depicting target subjects, outlining a coding plan, applying the codes to the chose content, assessing the legitimacy of the coded information, and afterward executing the examinations.

The overall purpose of the lab is to have the students practice designing an experiment, gathering data, and then analyzing that data to form a conclusion using the scientific method. It also served to understand key terms such as hypothesis, dependent variable, and independent variable. The specific objective of this lab is to determine whether certain human body parts experience allometric or isometric growth. Allometric growth defines when certain parts of an organism grow at unequal rates in comparison to its whole, while isometric growth is when all parts of an organism grow at the same rate in comparison to the entire organism. The specific purpose of the lab is to determine whether or not specific human body parts experience allometric or isometric growth by comparing the ratios of height to two specific body parts, in the students’ case the right hand length and head circumference, in students and newborns. The students formulated the tentative answer that if a team of four compared their height to right hand length ratio, as well as, their height to head circumference ratio, to those of a newborn’s, then the students will discover that the right hand and head experience allometric growth in humans.

experiments ten walls with a height of 4m were used to conduct 13 tests in two series.
