...Lab Session 12, Experiment 11: Valence, the Combining Capacity of Elements and Molecules One molar mass of an element or compound that produces or reacts with 1.008 grams of hydrogen has a valence of I. It follows that the same quantity producing or reacting with 2.016 grams of hydrogen is valence II, and producing or reacting with 3.024 grams of hydrogen is valence III, etc. In this experiment, the magnesium metal will be reacted with concentrated hydrochloric acid to produce hydrogen gas according to the following chemical equation: Mg (sol) + x HCl (aq) → MgCl x (aq) + x H2 (gas) 2 The hydrogen gas produced will be collected, its volume measured, and the mass in grams calculated using the ideal gas law: PV = nRT When using this equation, the units of the gas constant (R) must be consistent with the units used for the other quantities in the equation. The Handbook of Chemistry and Physics lists the value of R as R = 0.08206 L × atm × mol –1 –1 ×K Thus, pressure (P) must be expressed in atmospheres, volume (V) in liters, and temperature (T) in Kelvin. 11A Experiment A sample of magnesium metal with an approximate mass of 0.24 grams will be reacted with excess hydrochloric acid. The hydrogen gas produced will be collected, its volume measured, and finally its mass in grams will be calculated. Chemicals Required: 6M hydrochloric acid Note: 12M HCl(aq) must be diluted. Apparatus Required: 500 mL Florence flask Glass tubing Watch...

...Tylenol is prescribed 500mg every 6 hours PRN, patient need to be instruct not to exceed 3000mg per day. It is important to teach patient about the possible interaction between NSAID or acetaminophen and OTC cold medication. Hydrochlorothiazine 25mg twice a day, diuretics need to be monitor due to the interaction with NSAID plus the low sodium diet the patient is following at home. A medication reconciliation aids health care providers with the preventing of medication interaction, duplications, errors, writing orders as well as an opportunity for patient education like patient needs to be instruct of the interaction that all his prescribed medication have with alcohol plus diet and OTC. 2. The patient states that the last week has been painful since the surgeon did not want him to take the ibuprofen since October 25. What is the rationale for holding/discontinuing this medication at that time? (5 points) Ibuprofen can increase the risk of bleeding during surgery because it prevents platelets from aggregating and decrease clotting. It is recommended to stop NSAID a week prior to surgery due to the life spam of platelets. 3. The patient also reports that he took hydrochlorothiazide and Tylenol last night (October 31) and that the doctor’s office told him not to take his hydrochlorothiazide this morning. What is the rationale for holding this medication at this time? (5 points) Hydrochlorothiazide is a diuretic for the treatment of hypertension. The mechanism of action impact electrolytes...

...Admitting diagnosis(es) and clinical problems/complications/history: The patient was admitted on 2.13.13 with an admitting diagnosis of Syncope. Temp: 98.5, Pulse: 66, Resp: 16, Blood Pressure: 120/79, SpO2: 98%/room air. Patient stated that over the past two weeks she has become dizzy and fallen four to five times. On her day of admission she claims to have fallen again while brushing her teeth. This is the second time this has happened. Six years ago she presented with syncope in her home town of Leesburg, Florida. The first occurrence produced a negative medical workup. Both syncopal episodes appear to present during times of elevated stress in the client's life. The episode six years ago appears to correlate with a divorce from her husband of 15 years. The recent episode was preceded by a recent move from Leesburg, Florida to the Jacksonville, Florida area. The client denies any preceding symptoms of the syncopal episodes, however she states that she does have occurrences of nausea and dizziness without vomiting. Additionally, the client is complaining of unrelieved lower back and hip pain on her left side. The client was admitted for observation and evaluation due to her high number of falls. Near-syncope is a term that includes a dizzy feeling with the inability to stand upright. Syncope means a brief loss of consciousness. The loss of consciousness is usually caused by a decrease in blood flow to the brain. Decreased blood flow to the brain can be caused by a reduction...

...landfill by the Chemistry 1146 laboratory group, precautions were immediately taken and rigorous experimentations were begun to determine the identity of the compound. Determining the identity of this compound was very crucial for the safety of the community. The chemical and physical properties of the compound could then be identified and environmental hazards addressed. Questions that needed to be answered in relation to this unknown compound included: Is it a risk to people living nearby? What if it gets in the water supply? Does it 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)...

Reaction efficiency will be evaluated through percent yield, percent recovery, and the purity of the final product will be determined by IR, TLC, and mp determination. Chemicals: bromobenzene, magnesium turnings, diethyl ether, benzophenone, biphenyl, triphenylmethanol, iodine, 6 M HCl, brine, anhydrous MgSO4 or Na2SO4, 10:90 EtOAc/hexanes. Glassware and equipment: 100 mL RBF, air condenser, Claisen adaptor, 60 and 125 mL addition funnel, short stem glass funnel, two 50 mL Erlenmeyer flasks, 10 mL graduated cylinder, lab jack, crystallizing dish, magnetic stir bar. Techniques: reflux, extraction, vacuum filtration, recrystallization, TLC, mp, IR spectroscopy. Introduction In 1912 Victor Grignard received the Nobel prize in chemistry for his work on the reaction that bears his name, a carbon-carbon bond-forming reaction by which almost any alcohol may be formed from appropriate alkyl halides and carbonyl compounds. The Grignard reagent RMgBr is easily formed by redox reaction of an alkyl halide with magnesium metal in anhydrous diethyl ether solvent. R-Br + Mg → RMgBr The Grignard reagent can be viewed as an ionic species consisting of carbanion R-, with Mg2+ counterion and an additional Br- counterion. The carbanion R- is very reactive, and functions both as an extremely strong base and an extremely strong nucleophile. O Br ...

...Clean Water Project Report Day 1- “The Balanced Equation” Documentary Notes In the documentary, “The Balanced Equation”, a group of high school girls tells their story of traveling to Kenya and the Dominican Republic to investigate and learn more about issues dealing with water in developing countries. The girls focus primarily on problems with water that exist in these countries and the water filtration systems being provided. According to the video, approximately 3.5 million people die from water-related illnesses each year, and over 800 million people do not have access to clean water today. The girls discover that portable point-of-use filtration devices are given to those in developing countries who don’t have access to clean water. Permanent water solutions, such as digging wells, have been tried, but often fail due to lack of maintenance and education. Wells often become contaminated with runoff water among other issues, so over 50% of these permanent solutions fail after 5 years. Instead, point-of-use water systems are distributed since they are portable and can be used at home. The girl’s spent their first night of their adventure in...
