Unit 3 Chemistry - Types of Chemical Reaction Lab

Directions: For each reaction do the following #1-5:
1. Perform each reaction
2. record your observations,
3. take pictures for the blog
4. classify the type of reaction
5. balance equation with states.
6. take pictures for the blog
A. Obtain Silver (II) Nitrate and small 50mL beaker. Place a small
piece (1.00cm x 1.00cm) of copper into the beaker and then
pour the Copper solution over the copper until it is at least
halfway covered by solution.
2. Physical change- the color starts off as a coppery color and changes
to a silver
3. Pics
2AgNO3 (aq) + Cu (s) --> Cu(NO3)2 (aq) + 2Ag (s)
1) Change in color- copper to silver (Ag atoms precipitating) Blue
color in solution
2) Single Replacement

B. - Obtain a 50mL beaker, pour about 20mL of D.I. water and a

few drops of Phenolphthalein to it, record the pH.
- Add about 5.0 mL of 1M NaOH, record the pH w/ pH meter &
litmus paper, also test it for electrolytes w/conductivity
apparatus.
- Wash off the conductivity & pH sensor with D.I. water after you
use it or it will corrode!!!
- Put a thermometer in the beaker and add 5.0 mL of 2M HCl to
the beaker , and measure pH & conductivity & temperature
change.
2. pH 5
3. pH 14
4. conducts electricity
5. Neutralization
6. 23 celsius
b. 23.5 celsius, got warmer

C. Pour a small scoop of CaCO3 (about 1-2 grams) into the same
beaker from the reaction in section B.
2. It started to bubble and Qizz

D. Obtain a shiny piece of copper and a pair of tongs, hold the

piece of copper up to a \lame with tongs.
2. The copper became black, became matte

E. Place a small scoop (about 2 grams) of sucrose (C12H22O11) into

a crucible and heat it over Bunsen burner.
2. It turns black, the sugar melts
3. Pics
4. Combustion
5. C12H22O11 + 12O2 --> 12CO2 + 11H2O

G. Pour Sodium Iodide into a test tube with around 20mL of DI
water. Add Lead (II) Nitrate to the test tube.
1. The Sodium Iodide turns the water a bright yellow
