    Often, as two chemical compounds are mixed, a chemical reaction will occur. This can and does take place in nature, but, more importantly, it can take place in a laboratory. “When an acid and a base are placed together, they react to neutralize the acid and base properties, producing a salt” (Hyper physics, n.d.). For example, when making table salt, sodium hydroxide (the base) is added to hydrochloric acid (the acid). When they are added together they try to balance out one another and create the

    is putting the chemical reactions to work! We are going to be using different substances and combining them together to record and observe the different reactions that will be produced as we perform the steps. Looking at the way a substance combining with another substances that can make a whole different reaction is very interesting. The main goal of this experiment is to observe some typical chemical reactions, identify some of the products, as well as summarize the chemical changes in terms

    Introduction: In everything there are things called particles; and sometimes when two particles meet a chemical reaction occurs. Also, with different strategies the chemical reaction can be sped up or slowed down. This is measured with reaction rate which is used to measure the length of a chemical reaction. The denture cleaning tablets consist of many ingredients; some of the active ingredients include sodium bicarbonate, citric acid, sodium perborate, sodium polyphosphate, potassium monopersulfate

    Introduction This lab was to see chemical reactions with different liquids. This was important to find the unknown substance. The controlled variable was the unknown powder, since it doesn’t change. The independent variable was the liquids. These liquids were vinegar, iodine, and water. Lastly, the dependent variable is the chemical reactions. The reaction was affected by the different liquids. If the liquids are changed then the chemical reactions will be different, because they have different

    Chemical reactions happen in industrial processes, living systems, and chemical laboratories. These reactions are thought to form products during their processes. These reactions are called combustion, synthesis, decomposition, precipitation, single-replacement, double replacement, acid-base, and redox. Combustion is known as burning. It happens when a substance combines with oxygen, which results in the release of large amounts of energy forming heat and light. the product of combustion can be water

    The control over chemical reactions is of greatest interest since early times. The four basic well known variables that are capable of controlling chemical reactions are temperature, pressure, concentration and contact time.1 Therefore in 19th and early 20th century’s high temperatures and pressures were employed in order to achieve reasonable production rates in most industrial reaction processes. Unfortunately these harsh conditions were associated with several disadvantages and problems. Because

    Title: Chemical Reaction Types and Their Equations 2. Purpose: The purpose of this lab is to further observe four types of chemical reactions. This lab will show four types of distinct chemical reactions and will increase my knowledge on each type. 3. Procedure: In the first experiment (Synthesis Reaction) 5g of Mg was heated with a Bunson burner to perform a reaction. In the second experiment (Decomposition Reaction) 5g of Cu2Co3 was heated with a Bunson burner to perform a chemical reaction with

    In this science project I will be testing how temperature alters the results of a chemical reaction. My goal is to answer my hypothesis question and give a good explanation of what is being done in this process. Either a cold or hot temperature can turn the liquid into a bubbling result. After looking at my observations, I will justify how it is bubbling and show what is going on inside the liquid. As I research more information and facts about my topic, I will start to gain more knowledge and understand

    There's a variety of different types of chemical reactions, but the ones I'm going to name down low are the main points of chemical reactions. The names of the different types of reactions is Decomposition, Combustion, Acid/base,Synthesis,Single-Replacement, Double- Replacement and Precipitation. Decomposition is one of the eight chemical reactions. Decomposition is when you get something complex and break it down into smaller molecules. Decomposition is the opposite of synthesis reaction.One of
