...ions to gain insight into the ways in which metallic or ionic crystals are formed. You will investigate three basic crystal structures which can form if all of the particles are the same size, as would happen in a pure metal: simple cubic (SC), body-centered cubic (BCC), and face-centered cubic (FCC). structures. Using the styrofoam models, you will determine the number of nearest neighbors (the coordination number) of the particles in each of these structures. In a simple crystal structure, all atoms or ions of the same type should have the same coordination number; in other words, any atom or ion of the same element is identical with respect to size and position relative to its neighbors. When ions form crystals, the cations and anions are normally different sizes. Often, the resulting lattice (a term that refers to the repeating layout of particles in the crystal) resembles one of the basic structures, however the difference in size will cause slight alterations in the packing arrangement. The coordination number in an ionic compound refers to the number of nearest neighbors of opposite charge. Another important concept in...

...Experiment 8 Lab Report Analysis of Oxidizing Capacity of Bleach The goal of this lab is to perform a titration of a sample of bleach with thiosulfate, figuring the end point with a starch indicator. We will determine the percent mass of sodium hypochlorite in bleach by using the volume of sodium thiosulfate needed to reach the end point. This value represents the oxidizing capacity of the unknown bleach. At the end, we will create two redox reactions to determine the overall chemical reaction that occurs during this process. I think that my oxidizing capacity will be 5.0g. Most bleach contains salts with the hypochlorite ion, the oxidizing agent that removes stains and whitens them. The hypochlorite ion usually comes in the form of sodium hypochlorite, NaOCl, or calcium hypochlorite. The two oxidation reduction reactions that occur during this experiment are first the oxidation of iodide to iodine, I2(aq), by the hypochlorite ion and then making the aqueous iodine reduce back to iodide by titrating it with sodium thiosulfate. The overall stoichiometry of the reaction is one mole of hypochlorous acid, formed by placing the sodium hypochlorite into acidic solution, plus two moles of the thiosulfate ion plus hydrogen ions from the solution yielding one mole of chlorite anions, one mole of the tetrasulfur hexoxide anion and one mole of liquid water. We began the titration of aqueous iodine by adding .05M sodium thiosulfate until the brown colored solution began to turn a...

...contaminate the air? Is it reactive? Over a three week time-span the chemists experimented with the unknown compound to report the findings back to the community. After the unknown compound was identified, the chemists studied its properties and confirmed the identity by synthesizing the compound in the lab and comparing it to the unknown. Experimental Week 1 After a sample of the unknown compound (#21) was retrieved, various experiments were carried out to determine the chemical formula. An anion analysis was first performed on the unknown compound. A solution of the unknown compound was prepared by taking a small amount of the solid on the end of a scoopula and dissolving it in 2 mL of distilled water (DI water) in a test tube. The compound was then tested for the sulfate ion by placing 1 mL of the solution in a test tube and adding 1 mL 6 M HCl and 1 mL of BaCl₂ solution. A white precipitate proves the presence of a sulfate ion. (aq) + (aq) (s) + 2 (aq) A carbonate ion analysis was also performed by adding 1 mL of the unknown solution in a test tube and adding 6 M HCl one drop at a time.

...Chemistry 1B Experiment 16 77 16 Qualitative Analysis Introduction The purpose of qualitative analysis is to determine what substances are present in detectable amounts in a sample. This experiment has two parts. In the first part, you will analyze an unknown solution for the presence of seven common ions. In the second part, you will test an unknown solid to determine which of two possible identities is correct. Part I. Spot Tests for Some Common Ions A simple approach to the qualitative analysis of an unknown solution is to test for the presence of each possible ion by adding a reagent which will cause the ion, if it is in the sample, to react in a characteristic way. This method involves a series of “spot” tests, one for each ion, carried out on separate samples of the unknown solution. The difficulty with this way of doing qualitative analysis is that frequently, particularly in complex mixtures, one species may interfere with the analytical test for another. Although interferences are common, there are many ions which can be identified in mixtures by simple spot tests. In this experiment we will use spot tests for the analysis of a mixture which may contain the following commonly encountered ions in solution: CO32– SO42– PO43– SCN Cl – – carbonate sulfate phosphate thiocyanate chloride acetate ammonium C2H3O2– NH4+ 78 Chemistry 1B Experiment 16 The procedures we involve simple acid-base, precipitation, complex ion formation or oxidation-reduction...

References: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/embalming References: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/embalming Embalming is the preserving of a corpse from decay which was originally done with spices but now is usually done by arterial injection of preservative. How were mummies embalmed? References: http://www.ancientegypt.co.uk/mummies/story/page2.html References: http://www.ancientegypt.co.uk/mummies/story/page2.html The mummies body would be taken to the ‘ibu’ or the ‘place of purification’ this is then were the embalmers would wash the body with wine and rinse it with water. Next one of the embalmers would make a cut in the left side of the body to remove the internal organs (they are important to be removed as they are the first part of the body to decompose). The liver, lungs, stomach and intestines are washed and packed in natron to dry them out. The heart however is not taken out of the body. A long hook is used to smash the brain and then it is pulled out through the nose. The body is then covered and stuffed with natron to dry the body out. All of the fluids and rags from the embalming process will be saved and buried along with the body. Once forty days have passed the body is washed again with water and then it is covered with oils to help the skin stay elastic. The dehydrated organs are then wrapped in linen and returned to the body. The body is then filled with dry materials such as saw dust, leaves or linen so it looks...

...Acis CHEMICAL REACTIONS: ACID-BASE BUFFERS Short Overview Acids and bases represent two of the most common classes of compounds. Many studies have been done on these compounds, and their reactions are very important. Perhaps the most important reaction is the one in which an acid and base are combined, resulting in the formation of water (in aqueous solution) and a salt; this reaction is called neutralization. A buffer solution is a solution that contains both an acid and a salt containing the conjugate base anion in sufficient concentrations so as to maintain a relatively constant pH when either acid or base is added. In this experiment you will prepare a buffer solution and observe its behavior when mixed both with an acid and a base. You will also compare the behavior with that of solutions containing only the acid. Theory In his theory of ionization in the 1880’s, Svante Arrhenius defined acids are substances which form H+ and bases as substances which form OH- in water. He further defined a salt as a substance other than an acid or base which forms ions in aqueous solution. Such substances are thus capable of producing an electric current and are called electrolytes. The amount of electricity produced is directly proportional to the concentration of ions in solution. With regard to electrolytes we have learned previously that strong acids and strong bases ionize completely, and are therefore strong electrolytes because they...

...Volumetric and Vinegar Analysis Abstract This report presents volumetric and vinegar analysis. In volumetric analysis three trials of a solution. The volumetric analysis was obtained through titration, and chemical analysis, which allowed the molar concentration of a strong acid to be assessed in a standardized solution. The Average molar concentration of NaOH is approximately 0.279mol/L. Vinegar analysis was conducted with the help of three trials to determine the percent by mass of acetic acid in vinegar instead of a standardized solution. The unknown vinegar being utilized was “Shaggy”. The average percent by mass of CH3COOH “Shaggy” is 1.41%. According to “Laboratory Manual for Principles of General Chemistry”, volumetric analysis is a chemical analysis that is performed primarily with the aid of volumetric glassware. For this procedure, a known quantity or carefully measured amount of one substance reacts with a to-be-determined amount of another substance with the reaction occurring in an aqueous solution. This is conducted by a titration procedure. A burette dispenses a liquid called the titrant to a receiving flask containing the analyte (Beran, 133). The reaction is known to be completed when amounts corresponding to the mole ratio of the balanced equation is reached – this is referred to as the stoichiometric point. In the lab, standardization of a sodium hydroxide solution was performed, thus creating the secondary standard solution (Beran, 135)...

...Tuning Surface Charge Property by Floating Gate Field Effect Transistor Song Xue1, Ning Hu2, Shizhi Qian1+ 1Institute of Micro/Nanotechnology, Old Dominion University, Norfolk, VA 23529, USA 2 Bioengineering College, Chongqing University, Chongqing 400030, P.R. China Abstract Interfacial electrokinetic phenomena, which highly depend on the surface charge property of an object in contact with an aqueous electrolyte solution, have been widely used to manipulate and transport ions, fluids and particles in micro/nanofluidic devices. Field effect transistor (FET) offers flexible and rapid control of the surface charge property, which in turn provides a more sophisticated control of the electrokinetics-based micro/nanofluidics. Tuning the surface charge property by a floating gate field effect transistor (FGFET) rather than the conventional FET is proposed and analyzed for the first time. In contrast to the conventional FET having a control gate fabricated on the outer surface of the dielectric channel wall, the FGFET has an additional floating gate electrode embedded inside the dielectric channel wall. A mathematical model has been developed to analyze the zeta potential of a planar dielectric surface regulated by the conventional FET and the FGFET techniques. Results show that the FGFET is superior to the conventional FET to tune the surface charge property of a dielectric material in contact with an aqueous solution. The FGFET has great potential to control ions, fluids...
