Hello readers,
For the past few days we have been doing Chemistry Experiments.
They were really fun.
Here is my summary.
Questions to answer:
- What were the different experiments you completed?
Hydrogen pop test, Burning Magnesium and Lime Water test.
- What observations did you make in each experiment?
In the Hydrogen Pop Test I saw some of the gas coming up and while that happened the tube was getting warmer. During our first attempt at the pop it was a failure. In the Burning Magnesium test I wasn’t really looking because we were warned it could harm our eyes even though we had safety glasses on because of the light. The lime water test was getting cloudy after a couple of minutes confirming that Carbon Dioxide was present.
- How can reactants from your experiment be used to predict products?
The formula helps us to predict what is gonna be made at the end.
Metal + Acid ——-> Metal Salt + Hydrogen
Metal Carbonate + Acid ————> Salt + Carbon Dioxide + Water
Metal + Oxygen ———-> Metal Oxide.
All of these metals could be any metal.
What this means is that you can use any metal and still get the same result just a little different.
Say we used Magnesium + Hydrochloric Acid ————> Magnesium Chloride + Hydrogen.
Swap Magnesium to Zinc.
Zinc + Hydrochloric Acid ————> Zinc Chloride + Hydrogen.
Iron + Oxygen ——-> Iron Oxide
Magnesium + Oxygen ——–> Magnesium Oxide
This is the end of my blog post.
