    The Effect of Sodium Carbonate on Hard Water Aim === In this experiment, we aim to investigate the effect of sodium carbonate on hard water. Method ====== Firstly, 25.00cm3 of a sample of water was pipetted into a clean conical flask. The pipette was used because this measures and delivers a very accurate amount of liquid (to the nearest hundredth of a cm3, or 0.01cm3), but care had to taken to make sure it was not held by the bulge, as this could have made the amount inaccurate

  • Softening Hard Water With Sodium Carbonate

    1567 Words  | 4 Pages

    Softening Hard Water With Sodium Carbonate Prediction ---------- In a preliminary experiment, we discovered that adding 1g. Na2CO3 to hard water softened it slightly. We tested both tap water and distilled water with the sodium stearate and discovered that tap water was far harder than distilled water, we then tested tap water that 1g of Na2CO3 had been applied to. This solution was softer than the original tap water. The exact results were; Type of water Soap solution required

    carbonate was weighed accurately and dissolved in distilled water in a 250 mL volumetric flask. The solution was then made up to the mark with distilled water and mixed thoroughly. Titration Procedure A burette was filled with the standard sodium carbonate solution. Using a pipette, a measured volume of hydrochloric acid was transferred into a conical flask. A few drops of methyl orange indicator were added to the hydrochloric acid solution. The burette was then slowly titrated with the sodium carbonate

  • Preparing Benzoic Acid from Benzylalcohol

    574 Words  | 2 Pages

    - Na2O4 - Büchner funnel - beakers - sodium carbonate Procedure The benzioc acid is synthesized by heating benzylalcohol in a round bottomed flask under reflux. In addition to that, we use Na2O4 as a oxidizing agent. After that, we use HCl to precipitate it. After the some time, we filter it through a Büchner funnel before it is recrystallized and filtered again. The mass was recorded as it was dry. By adding sodium carbonate, we will now test whether what obtained is benzoic

    using ice. (I didn’t investigate the 80 degrees temperature). Fair test: Below is a list of things that were kept the same throughout the investigation: Volumes of lipase and milk (by using syringes); volumes of phenolphthalein and sodium carbonate (using pipettes); (best volumes from the preliminary work were used). Each temperature was repeated three times to get a good average. The milk and lipase were equilibrated to the right temperatures before the lipase was added to the milk

    as a useful by-product. I shall be carrying out a titration between sodium carbonate, a weak alkali, and sulphuric acid, a strong acid, to calculate the concentration of the sulphuric acid. The sodium carbonate sample I shall be using is a solid. Solids cannot be titrated successfully, so I will turn it into a solution by adding distilled water to it. The distilled water has no adverse effects on the sodium carbonate. [IMAGE]Na2CO3(aq) + H2SO4(aq) Na2SO4(aq) + H2O(l) + CO2(g) Methyl

    Introduction: A balanced chemical equation has reactants and product that has to represent a formulae. The amount of each element, number needs to be the same on either side of the equation. (E.g., HCl(aq)+NaHCO3(s) reacts to produce NaCl(aq)+H2O(I)+CO2(g)). This helps us view the study of the Law of Conservation of Mass, and how it works in this equation. The calculation for formula, mass helps us to determine if you need to convert grams to a particular substance to moles, from a product. Moles

    the world due to its effective business and H.R. management performance. The story of Solvay starts in 1861, in Belgium. During this year the Ernest brothers started working on a new revolutionary ammonia-soda process for the production of sodium carbonate. Later on in 1863 the Solvay Group was founded. During the first years they had constant economic problems. Because of the problems that they had trying to developed and perfect the production process of their products, their performance during

  • Determining the Effect of Different Sugar Concentrations on Benedict's Solution

    1923 Words  | 4 Pages

    because the more amount of sugar it contains the more it will reduce the Copper. It will be a much darker precipitate compared to the other two. Background theory: Benedict's solution is an aqueous solution of Copper (II) Sulphate, Sodium carbonate and Sodium citrate. It is an alkaline solution used to test for the presence of aldehyde groups (RCHO). The reducing sugar (Glucose) reduces the copper (II) Sulphate to Copper (I) oxide. The colour of the precipitate varies dependent on the strength

    Mummification has had a role in embalming since A.D. 600. What is mummification and why was it done? Mummification is linked with Anubis, the God of mummification. After Egyptians assumed that the body had to be preserved in order for the soul to be identified following death. Anubis, who is shown as a jackal, is credited with embalming. The hearts of the deceased were weighted to value their worth in the underworld. The reason for mummification was to rid the moisture and preserve the body. Mainly

    which is a company that deals with chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and plastics. The Solvay group originally began in 1861, by a Belgian chemist Ernest Solvay. At that time he was experimenting and invented an ammonia-soda process for producing sodium carbonate, or otherwise called soda ash. After successfully inventing this process, he founded the Solvay group in 1863 to exploit this process. The case further talks about the newly assigned HR manager Marcel Lorent who has to manage a new group called

    errors. Through the titration of hydrochloric acid with standard anhydrous sodium carbonate the accuracy of the equipment was tested to discover the difference in concentration over the five trials conducted. Method: The method that was given in the Chemistry 306 Laboratory was followed from page 14 – 16. The standard of hydrochloric acid was made to a concentration of (0.1008 ± 0.0020) mol L-1. The amount of sodium carbonate in the conical flask from A-E was 0.113 g, 0.195 g, 0.1368 g, 0.1872 g and
