Here are your answers organized according to the questions you've listed:
Data Table: Observations
| Flasks | Observations | |--------------------------------|----------------------------------------| | NaHCO3 before reaction | White, powdery substance, no visible change | | HCl before reaction | Clear, colorless liquid | | HCl Flask DURING reaction | Bubbling and fizzing, gas released | | HCl Flask AFTER reaction | Some residue at the bottom, possibly NaCl formed |
Question Responses:
Question 4:
How did you observe NaCl being formed as a product/after the reaction?
Answer: d. All of the above were signs of NaCl being formed.
Question 5:
How did you observe carbon dioxide being formed as a product?
Answer: b. Gas bubbles formed and bubbled through the flask.
Question 6:
What would happen with the lab IF rather than powder NaHCO3 we used a whole alka seltzer tablet?
Answer: b. The rate of the reaction would slow down.
Question 7:
Blank 1: Increasing
Question 8:
What would happen with the lab IF we warmed up our hydrochloric acid (HCl) before doing the experiment?
Answer: a. The rate of the reaction would speed up.
Question 9:
If this experiment is like the first lab, what do you think the third product being formed is that fills up the balloon?
Answer: b. Carbon dioxide as a gas.
Question 10:
Are hydrochloric acid (HCl) and vinegar acids or bases?
Answer: a. Acid
Question 11:
Which of the following was NOT one of the observations from the labs that indicated a chemical reaction was occurring?
Answer: d. All of the above was observed signs of a chemical reaction.
Question 12:
If the water product is formed with the hydrogen ion from the acids, what ion do the bases donate to form H₂O, water?
Answer: d. OH¯
Question 13:
If we cooled down the vinegar to almost freezing before adding the baking soda, the reaction rate would increase and the reaction would go faster.
Answer: False
Question 14:
Blank 1: Increasing
Question 15:
How does INCREASING the concentration of reactants affect the rate of reaction?
Answer: a. It increased the rate of the reaction.
Question 16:
Which glass had the faster reaction rate?
Answer: a. The glass with the vitamin added in powder form.
Question 17:
The powder had greater surface area than the tablet, therefore had more area to react faster.
Answer: True
Question 18:
Blank 1: Increasing
Question 19:
What are 3 ways you can increase the rate of reaction in experiments?
Your answer: 1. Increase the concentration of the reactants. 2. Increase the temperature of the reactants. 3. Increase the surface area of the solid reactants (e.g., use powdered substances instead of whole ones).
