Compare the mass of the magnesium strip from test tube 1 with the initial mass of the same strip measured in task 1, part A. Is the mass the same, or is it different? If it’s different, explain what may have caused the difference. Compare the mass of the zinc strip from test tube 5 with the mass of the same strip measured in task 1, part A. Based on your observations of the metal strip, explain what factors may have added to its mass or caused a decrease in its mass. Which had the greater effect? Explain your reasoning

What evidence can be used to support the fact that oxidation, reduction, or both took place in test tube 5?

Straightforward questions answered in the powerpoint slidesreaction: heating the starting materials under refluxwhat does it mean to heat under reflux? why do we choose water as the reflux solvent? what are boiling chips used for? why do we put a condenser on top of the reaction? why do we add heat and let the reaction stir for 30 minutes? why do we add sulfuric acid to the reaction after it cools as opposed to when it’s still hot? separation: filtration of precipitatewhy don’t we do an aqueous and organic extraction in the separatory funnel? why do you rinse the salicylic acid on the filter with ice cold water? purification: recrystallization of salicylic acid (no hot filtration needed)what is the difference in the amount of room temperature water vs. boiling water needed to dissolve the salicylic acid (assume a 1.2 gram yield of salicylic acid)? remember, in the lab if you need x ml of boiling water to dissolve a solid, then you should add a little more (definitely no more than 1.5 times the theoretical amount) to ensure it doesn’t recrystallize prematurely.analysis: melting point of salicylic acidwhat can you conclude if the melting point of the salicylic acid you just synthesized is 152-155oc and the 1: 1 mix of your product and “synthetic” salicylic acid is 151-154oc?

In order to complete this lab. you will need to be familiar with some common chemistry terms. complete the chemical change puzzle and list the relevant terms and their meaning below a.rectant b.product c.supernate

Question 5 match each term to its description. match term definition excess reactant a) reactant that can produce a lesser amount of the product limiting reactant b) reactant that can produce more of the product theoretical yield c) amount of product predicted to be produced by the given reactants
