In the demo experiment, we placed 10 grams of Ammonium dichromate in the form of a solid before starting the experiment. When the experiment begins the Ammonium dichromate is burned up and then produces Chromium (III) oxide as a solid, Nitrogen gas and water in form of a gas. In the experiment, we combined Zinc Chloride and Sodium Sulfide in which both chemicals are aqueous. The result of the combination was Zinc Sulfide a solid and Sodium Chloride an aqueous solution. In the alternate experiment, we combined Lead (II) Nitrate and Potassium Iodide in which both chemicals are aqueous. The result of the combination was Lead (II) Iodide and Potassium Nitrate. To see a chemical at a microscopic level you would need to use a microscope versus the The way we would expect to observe this context in the experiment would be by seeing the reaction of adding chemicals together and separating the chemicals to see if chemicals were destroyed, created or neither. The type of chemical reactions performed were that the same amount of mass in the reactants are the same amount of mass in the products. The most important component of a reaction of this type is to do the experiment process correctly to achieve the results meant. Using the properties of the reactants and products involved, predict the outcome of the reaction and describe the methods used to successfully perform the experiment. Based on our data the law of mass conservation was observed through the experiments containing ZnCl2(aq) + Na2S(aq) and Pb(NO3)2(aq) + 2 KI(aq). We gained mass after mixing the chemicals and separating the chemicals for both experiments. In the first experiment the difference in the amount mass from the initial mass was 0.46 g and in the second experiment there was a difference in the amount mass from the initial mass which was 0.75 g. In the demo experiment, the chemical reaction created was the release of nitrogen gas and H2O gas. In the experiment, the chemical reaction created was the formation of a solid ZnS and an aqueous sodium chloride. In the alternative experiment, the chemical reaction created was of The molecular equation is a balanced chemical equation while the total ionic equation is done by separating all aqueous solutions to get each ionic number. If a solution is not aqueous you will not be able to separate them. To find the net ionic equation you will cross out like terms from both sides of the chemical equation. For the demo experiment, the molecular equation is (NH4)2Cr2O7(s) ——> Cr2O3(s) + N2(g) + 4H2O(g) which is balanced. The total ionic equation and net ionic equation is the same as the molecular equation. For the experiment, the molecular equation is ZnCl2(aq) + Na2S(aq) ——> ZnS(s) + 2NaCl(aq) which is balanced. The total ionic equation is Zn2+(aq) + 2Cl-(aq) + 2Na+(aq)+S2-(aq) ——> ZnS(s)+ 2Na+(aq) + 2Cl-(aq). While the net ionic equation is Zn2+(aq) + S2-(aq) ——> ZnS(s). For the alternative experiment, the molecular equation is Pb(NO3)2(aq) + 2 KI(aq) ——> PbI2(s) + 2KNO3(aq) which is balanced. The total ionic equation is Pb2+(aq) + 2NO3-(aq) + 2K+ + 2I-(aq) ——> PbI2(s) + 2K+(aq) + 2NO-3(aq). The net ionic equation is Pb2+(aq) + 2I-(aq) ——> PbI2(s). The problem that I am working with on these equations is stoichiometry. To solve this problem the only thing you have to do is look at the coefficient for each solution on both sides of the equation to see if the same amount per element is equal to each other.
