Essay / Production of chloride using nitrate and sodium chloride
Production of chloride using nitrate and sodium chlorideObjective of the activityThe objective of the activity was to produce the insoluble salt chloride d silver using the soluble silver nitrate and sodium chloride salts that I prepared in unit 1 activity 2aAB + CD = AD + CB =============== ==silver nitrate + sodium chloride = silver chloride + sodium nitratePortfolio Evidence – (Lukas Chamberlain)Activity 3.1-3c: PrecipitationSafety PointsSodium chloride · Wear safety glasses · Do not eat · Use most small quantity possible on a watch glass to avoid contaminating the bottle · Perform a sodium test lastly because the nichrome wire is difficult to clean afterwards · Wear appropriate protective clothing · If splashed in the eyes: In case of contact with eyes, rinse immediately with cold water and seek medical attention · If spilled on floor: pick up and clean surface · If spilled on skin or clothing: wash · Irritant Nitrate of silver · Wear safety glasses · Wear protective glasses · Use the lowest number of moles and the lowest volume necessary · Wear appropriate clothing · If splashed in eyes: rinse eyes for ten minutes · If spilled on floor: pick up and wash surface · If spilled on skin: wash thoroughly · Corrosive · Irritant · Oxidizing · Environmental hazard Silver chloride None listed Sodium nitrate None listed Portfolio Evidence - (Lukas Chamberlain) Activity 3.1-3c: Precipitation method and materials1. I carefully measured 10cc of silver nitrate using a 10cc measuring cylinder for accuracy. I did this over a sink and then poured the middle of the paper...this also means the safety points are probably larger as there is a risk of spilling more, this which would cause more damage. Silver nitrate is also produced with a higher level of precision because less is wasted and that means more profit. Portfolio Evidence - (Lukas Chamberlain) Activity 3.1-3c: Precipitation Observations during the procedure I observed that the wash waters I collected after filtering the precipitate were cloudy. showing that it still contained particles of silver nitrate, as it is an insoluble salt that does not dissolve in water. Portfolio Evidence – (Lukas Chamberlain) Activity 3.1-3c: Precipitation Summary This experiment prepared silver chloride by a precipitation reaction between silver nitrate and sodium chloride. The silver chloride was filtered and the yield calculated.
