Unit 3 Chemistry Lab Activity: Chemical Writing and Chemical Names The purpose of this activity is to combine different

ions and observe whether they come together to form a precipitate !ou can then name the new compound formed and write the formula for this compound "rocedure: # Ta$e the laminated chart %as shown below& and combine two drops of cation solution with two drops of anion solution in the appropriate grid s'uare ( )bserve the reaction %if any& and record your observation on the data table below 3 *epeat the steps until you have combined all twelve possible reactions )bservations: a& Use as ! or N to indicate if a precipitate %cloudiness& formed b& +ill in your observations of all precipitates formed %color and level of cloudiness eg ,lightly cloudy- or very cloudy& .ons Ag1 Cl/ #! turned white 2N no reaction 4N no reaction #7 N no reaction C)3(/ (! clear to cloudy yellowish white ! clear to cloudy purple 5N no reaction # ! cloudy blue )0/ 3! cloudy to clear brown 3! cloudy light blue 6N no reaction # ! cloudy blue

:uestions: # What is happening at the molecular level for a precipitate to form; %google this& +or a precipitate to form- there needs to be two solutions without different ionic compounds They both need to be soluble to form an insoluble compound ( ,uggest a logical reason why the ions in one compound would separate from each other %eg <issolve in water&- while they wouldn=t be dissolved in another compound %as they come together in forming a precipitate & eg What forces could be at play here; The reason why ions in one compound would separate from each other in water and

not other compounds because they form a bond together in waterallowing them to be soluble When they don>t dissolve it means they can>t form a bond causing precipitation 3 .n ma$ing formulas of compounds- why would you use parentheses sometimes; !ou need parentheses to differentiate how many atoms it has +or e8ample if there are ( C)3 it has to be written as %C)3&( 2 At what time do you use roman numerals; .s this used in naming- or ma$ing formulas of compounds; !ou use roman numerals when naming the compounds- not when ma$ing the formula *oman numerals tells you the charge of the metal 9 A& What letters do we use after a formula to indicate the state of the compound; %s& for solid- %l& for li'uid- %g& for gas b& When a compound dissolves in water- how do indicate this with the formula of the compound; %a'& a'ueos c& At the molecular level- describe the ionic compound when it is dissolved in water When it is dissolved in water- the attraction it has to the ions is stronger than the ions itself therefore it pulls them away from each other and instead bond with water instead ?rief reflection statement of what you learned in this activity .n this lab . learned about the different types of states and how to name chemical compounds
