Lab 14: Create a Smell Lab: Ester Synthesis

I.Introduction:The purpose of this lab was that as combine different acids with alcohol to synthesize  three esters, in order to find what kind of chemical change occurred and to find what the esters smelled like after the chemical change. We had 3 types of mixtures and each had a different type of alcohol placed inside of it. We had to record the smell of the mixture before we heated them and compare them to how they changed after we heated the mixtures.

 II. Data Table: 



III. Pictures:

Test Tube I smelled like:Image result for banana


Test Tube E smelled like:Image result for nail polish remover




Test Tube M smelled like: Image result for icebreaker mints

Picture of Tubes being heated:

Lab 18: Alka Seltzer and the Ideal Gas Law

Image
I. Introduction:   In this lab the purpose was to measure the reaction between Alka Seltzer and water and to  determine the mass of the gas produced. What we did was, first we smashed up an alka seltzer tablet and put it inside a balloon. We then put the balloon over a graduated cylinder full of water and as the two substances combined, CO2 was produced and collected in the balloon. After all the gas had been created we measured the circumference of the balloon. We then emptied the gas and refilled the balloon with water until it had the same circumference. From this we were able to measure the water and find the volume. Through a series of calculations , we were able to conclude that the mass of CO2 was around 1.26 grams in our experiment. II. Data:  III. Calculations:  (Setup) IV: Analysis Questions:  1. Discuss an area in this lab where experimental error may have occurred. There are many instances where an experimental error may have occurred  For exam

Lab 11: Flame Test Lab

Image
I. Introduction:  The purpose of this lab was to observe how certain atoms react and release energy within different compounds and solutions. We performed the lab by taking samples of the nine compounds and held them over a bunsen burner. Then, we observed any color or texture changes and recorded them. We also had identify two unknown chlorine compounds using flame tests. To identify the two unknowns, we compared their flame colors to those of the other eight compounds and assumed the solution based of this. II. Pre Lab Questions: III. Data:  IV.

Lab 12: Electron Configuration Battleship

Image
I. Picture of My Setup:  II. Biggest Challenge: My biggest challenge playing was trying to do the electron configurations in my head. Also trying to solve the f block configuration in my head was extremely challenging. III. What I Learned: I learned how to solve electron configuration faster and efficiently using the periodic table.
