Ananth Venkatachalam Michael R. Nelson A.P Chemistry September 22, 2015 Flame Test Lab Partners: Sophia Taggart and Elena Freeman Purpose The purpose of this lab was to understand the relationship between emission spectra and atomic structure using small samples of 7 chloride salts of different metals. Emission spectra(or line spectra) is a collection of wavelengths representing different energies. Electrons in an atom occupy different energy levels and are in the ground state when they are at a low energy level. When they start to enter a higher energy level after gaining energy, they start to enter their excited state. Once in their excited state, they proceed to go back to their respective energy level by emitting light in the form of a …show more content…
Second, a small sample of solutions must be collected and transferred to the beakers by pouring or pipetting from the 500 mL Erlenmeyer flasks containing the solution. Third, a clean wooden stick must be dipped into the solution, soaked for three to five seconds, and put to the flame created by the bunsen burner. It is very important to make sure that that the wooden stick should not catch fire and this may have to be done this several times in order to get a good color. Next, the color of the flame must be recorded in detail and the wooden stick must be ran under some running water to cool it off. Finally, the stick must be discarded into the trash and a new wooden stick must be obtained. Dipping the wooden stick into the solution and put toward the flame must be repeated for the remaining solutions and when you are all done all of the solutions , these solutions should be poured down the drain with a lot of water and rinsed with soap and water. Finally, the labels should be cleaned off, and the beakers should be left upside down to …show more content…
When completing the lab, some observations with the metal ion solutions were that they were one specific color and not other colors. For example, CuCl2, had a turquoise blue solution, and as a results it produced a turquoise flame and that was because of the Cl. This means that one elements will often display most of the color the goal for doing a flame test is to see a mixture of color and often one color dominated in the results like orange or
The Armenian genocide ruins Vahan Kenderian’s picture-perfect life. Vahan is the son of the richest Armenian in Turkey and before the war begins, he always has food in his belly and a roof over his head in the book Forgotten Fire by Adam Bagdasarian. Life is absolutely quintessential for Vahan, until the war starts in 1915, when he endures many deaths of his family, losses of his friends, and frightening experiences in a short amount of time. He is a prisoner of war early in the book and is starved for days. As he goes through life, he is very unlucky and experiences other deaths, not just the deaths of his family. Vahan ultimately becomes the man his family would want him to be.
The procedure of the lab on day one was to get a ring stand and clamp, then put the substance in the test tube. Then put the test tube in the clamp and then get a Bunsen burner. After that put the Bunsen burner underneath the test tube to heat it. The procedure of the lab for day two was almost exactly the same, except the substances that were used were different. The
b) The electrons of transition metal ions are easily excited and consequently absorbed in the visible region i.e. these ions give colored compounds.
Fire and thermal properties of PA 66 resin treated with poly-N- aniline- phenyl phosphamide as a flame retardant
This specific lab will focus on the two main variants of Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy: flame AA spectroscopy, and spectroscopy using a graphite furnace. The lab will also introduce and teach how to deal with both systematic and random error when using Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy.
In “Barn Burning” the setting is a time when people drove horse wagons and the workingmen were generally farmers. The major character in this story is Colonel Sartoris Snopes, called “Sarty” by his family who is a ten-year-old boy. In the beginning, Sarty is portrayed as a confused and frightened young boy. He is in despair over the burden of doing the right thing or sticking by his family, as his father states,” You got to learn to stick to your own blood or you ain’t going to have any blood to stick to you.”
Experiment to Compare the Enthalpy Changes of Combustion of Different Alcohols Introduction: This plan will try to outline how the experiment of comparing changes of combustion of different alcohols will be conducted and what results are expected. Background When chemical reactions take place they are often accompanied by energy changes. Chemical reactions most frequently occur in open vessels. That is, they take place at constant pressure. Enthalpy refers to energy at constant pressure (volume may vary).
Add the water and mix well, then place over medium flame and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce to a simmer. Let simmer for about 2 minutes.
Use glassware as directed by your instructor. Place a test tube placed inside a beaker with ice water to collect the product from the apparatus. Obtain the 10mL round bottom flask from the apparatus. Obtain two graduated cylinders of 10mL. On one graduated cylinder measure 4mL (85% H3PO4) of Phosphoric Acid and pour into the 10mL round bottom flask. On the other graduated cylinder measure 3mL of Cyclohexanol and pour into the flask as well. With a pipet add 5 drops of Sulfuric Acid (H2SO4) into the flask. Attach the round bottom flask to the distillation apparatus. Place thermometer with rubber stopper on the apparatus to obtain the temperature Start with the water flow through the condenser. Turn on and heat the reaction until the product starts to distill. Distill and collect until thermometer temperature rises to 85˚C. Once there is no more product to collect obtain the test tube of product. Two layers should be formed, top layer of cyclohexane and bottom layer with water. Obtain a pipette and remove the bottom layer (water) if any. Add 10% (5mL) of Sodium Bicarbonate (NaHCO3) to nuclearize any acid in the solution. Mix well and remove once again the bottom layer of water with pipette. Add 5mL of water and mix well to wash the top layer. After the two layers form again, remove entirely the bottom layer of water and add a few pellets of Calcium Chloride. Obtain a 50mL or 100mL beaker and weigh.
The emission spectrum of an element is the spectrum of frequencies in electromagnetic radiation emitted due to a specific atom's electrons, creating a transition from a high energy to a low energy state. There are many possible electron transitions for each different atom in which the transition has a specific energy difference. The collection of different transitions leads to different radiated wavelengths and in turn makes up an emission spectrum. Each element's emission spectrum is unique and completely different form other elements on the periodic table. In order to reiterate this statement elements; thallium, neon and iodine will be compared and explained.
In this experiment, a lit candle was placed in jars to prove if more oxygen in the present environment would affect the duration of the flame. During the experiment, a burning candle was put in three differnent sized jars labled, ‘A’, ‘B’, and ‘C’ from smallest to largest in their order. The flame was then measured to determine how long it lasted in the individual jars. If more oxygen is present in the environment, then a fire will last longer. The hypothesis that a lit candle will last longer with more oxygen is supported by the acquired data because the flame had lasted significantly longer (a differnece of of approximately 26 seconds) in Jar C than Jar B. This is also similar when comparing the duration of the flame in Jar B and Jar
To prepare the setup for the experiment, put the temperature probe through the hole in a large Styrofoam cup. Fully submerge the end of the Temperature Probe into the Styrofoam cup of the bleach solution. Slide the Styrofoam cup over the top of the smaller Styrofoam cup to cover the small cup. Do not remove the Temperature Probe from the liquid.
5.) One at a time, place your test tubes in the water bath and heat the first test tube to 25 , the second to 50 , the third to 75, and the last to 100 degrees c. Remeber to stir with your stirring rod every so often.
In a 100ml beaker place 50mls of water, measure the temperature of the water and record this initial temperature onto a table. Set the timer and add one teaspoon of Ammonium Nitrate to the water, stir this continuously until the Ammonium Nitrate has dissolved.
1. Obtain a clean, dry crucible and lid, then heat them for approximately 5 minutes over a Bunsen burner
