INTRODUCTION For this experiment we studied an oxidation-reduction reaction of magnesium and hydrochloric acid solution. We compared the experimental measured amount of a product and the amount predicted by the theoretical calculation of a balanced equation: Mg (s) + 2HCl (aq) → MgCl2 (aq) + H2 (g) PROCEDURE First we obtained a strip of pre-cut magnesium ribbon‚ cleaned it with steel wool to remove any signs of oxidation from the strip (which would alter our results)‚ and then weighed it (individual

The alkali metals are found in group 1 of the Periodic table. They are very reactive metals and do not occur freely in nature. Alkali metals are malleable‚ ductile‚ and are good conductors of heat and electricity. Alkali metals can also explode if they are exposed to water. The Alkali metals are: lithium‚ sodium‚ potassium‚ rubidium‚ cesium‚ and francium. Lithium The mineral petalite‚ which contains lithium‚ was discovered by a Brazilian scientist named Jose Bonifacio towards the end of the

Chemistry Essay: Electrochemical Cells By John Williams An electrochemical cell is s cell in which chemical energy in a redox reaction is converted to electrical energy. It consists of two half cells connected internally by a salt bridge and externally by wires. A hydrogen half cell is the standard electrode and all comparisons of the other half cells are made against this half cell which has an E( value of zero volts. The E( values of other half cells are obtained by measuring the total emf (electromotive

Experiment 4: Conductivity of electrolyte solutions (Dated: October 29‚ 2009) I. INTRODUCTION Pure water does not conduct electricity‚ but any solvated ionic species would contribute to conduction of electricity. An ionically conducting solution is called an electrolyte solution and the compound‚ which produces the ions as it dissolves‚ is called an electrolyte. A strong electrolyte is a compound that will completely dissociate into ions in water. Correspondingly‚ a weak electrolyte dissolves

If you are looking for instructions about building a lemon battery to light an LED‚ see Lemon Battery at Wikibooks. The lemon battery is a simple type of electrical battery that is commonly made for school science projects because it illustrates a battery’s main components. Typically‚ a piece of zinc metal and a piece of copper metal are inserted into a lemon. Everyday objects such as galvanized nails and copper pennies can be used for the zinc and for the copper. A single lemon is usually studied
