  • Dissolution: Effects of Ammonium and Calcium Chloride on Water Temperature

    530 Words  | 2 Pages

    Ammonium chloride caused the water to cool. This means that the Ammonium chloride drew energy from the water to help it dissolve. As a result of losing its energy, the water cooled down. Calcium chloride caused the water to warm up. This means that energy from the calcium chloride was released and the water absorbed this heat. As a result, the temperature of the water increased. 3. Since you are measuring the temperature of the water, let’s call that the system. Relative to the water, was this

  • The Dehydration of Cyclohexanol to Form Cyclohexene

    610 Words  | 2 Pages

    The Dehydration of Cyclohexanol to Form Cyclohexene In order to dehydrate Cyclohexanol it is required that a dehydration agent, in this case phosphoric acid, be added and for the mixture to be distilled with the Cyclohexene being taken off between 343K and 363K. This reaction gives the formula: In order to keep the experiment at a manageable size 0.1 mole of Cyclohexanol was used along with 4cm3 of concentrated Phosphoric acid. 0.1 mole of Cyclohexanol x 100.2 = 10.2 100.2 0.962

  • Essay On Gravimetric Analysis

    924 Words  | 2 Pages

    The purpose of the lab is to determine the effectiveness of using gravimetric analysis in determining the hardness of a water sample. More specifically, this lab tests for the amount of dissolved substances such as magnesium carbonate and calcium carbonate. The amount of these substances dissolved in water determines water hardness as they contribute cations to water which result in a buildup of scum or solid CaCO3 as a precipitate. All water tends to have a different hardness as it is determined

  • Alkaline Metals

    components to humanity and life as we know it. Without them, many things that we both love and need would be gone. These remarkably diverse yet very similar elements that make up the alkaline earth metals family are: Beryllium (Be), Magnesium (Mg), Calcium (Ca), Strontium (Sr), Barium (Ba), and Radium (Ra). Although this family is often overshadowed by the infamous alkali metals, you will soon learn how spectacular and brilliant these metals really are and their value to human life. The alkaline earth

    a German chemist, improved Oersted's process by using metallic potassium. He was the first to measure the specific gravity of aluminum and show its lightness. In 1854 Henri Sainte-Claire Deville, in France, obtained the metal by reducing aluminum chloride with sodium. Aided by the financial backing of Napoleon III, Deville established a large-scale experimental plant and displayed pure aluminum at the Paris Exposition of 1855. Aluminum is a lightweight, silvery metal. The atomic weight of aluminum

    discovered this metal). This metal was discovered in Khafajah Mesopotamia; around 2500 BC (first kiln date). The Ancient Romans prepared lime as calcium oxide. However this could not be the first scientific date of discovery; this is because it was not discovered, isolated and named. An English scientist named Humphry Davy was the first person to isolate calcium, this was done in 1808 by mixing mercuric oxide and lime; he then performed an electrolysis of the mixture. Davy then used electrolysis to isolate

    to the solution. The freezing point of H2O becomes lower as more particles are added until the point where the salt can no longer dissolve. For a solution of table salt (sodium chloride, NaCl) in water, this temperature is -23°C with precise laboratory situations. In real conditions, on a pavement or road, sodium chloride can only melt ice down to approximately -14°C, though this is still effective when combatting the ice. Freezing point depression is a colligative property of H2O. Colligative properties

  • Investigating the Hardness of Water

    1131 Words  | 3 Pages

    Investigating the Hardness of Water Planning Aim To investigate the hardness of water in 5 different water solutions Background knowledge about hard water The hardness of water is caused by the presence of Calcium 2+ and magnesium 2+ ions in the water. These minerals in water can cause some everyday problems. They react with soap and produce a deposit called "soap scum" that remains on the skin and clothes and, because it is insoluble and sticky, cannot be removed by rinsing. Soap

    causes the bones to soften and weaken before the fusion of the growth plate. The adult version of this disease is called osteomalacia. In both adults and children it is caused by a long term and extreme vitamin D deficiency. Vitamin D allows for calcium and phosphorous to be absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract which is necessary for bones to have their mechanical properties. In children Rickets can result in bone pain, slow growth, increase risk of fractures and bone deformities, such as scoliosis
