Light Spectrum

 The Sun:                                                                                               The Light Spectrum Device












                 Florescent light source:



LED light source:



For each light source we could identify thin spectrums of light that were carried across the CD. The LED light was the easiest of the three to see we saw more colors compared to the other two sources. The florescent light was the second most colorful spectrum we found this light source at Cindy's.  The last and hardest source to see the spectrum of light was the sun. It was too bright and it made it hard for us to actually see and identify the colors inside the spectrum.

Limiting reagent lab

 1. What are the limiting and excess reagents for each flask? How did you determine this? the limiting reagent was the sodium bicarbonate because during each test it was completely used. while the excess reagent is the vinegar because there was always some vinegar left. 2. How is the amount of product in a reaction affected by an insufficient quantity of any of the reactants (reagents)?  The amount of product is reduced because if there is an insufficient amount of any of the reactants then only so much of the final product can be made until there is only one of the reactants remaining. 3. Which balloon was the largest? Explain. The largest balloon was the purple balloon because it had the largest volume from pouring in the most sodium bicarbonate which caused a reaction that produced the most CO2 filling the balloon  4. Which balloon was the smallest? Explain. The blue balloon was the smallest because in contrary to the purple the lest amount of...

electrolytes and conductivity lab

Image
Today in chemistry, we used pennies, a vinegar-water-salt solution, matboard to construct a battery to power an LED light. We started by first collecting five pennies and shaved the copper off of the tails side. We then created a vinegar/salt solution in which we dipped the matboard into. To construct our battery, we would place a penny shaved side up, then place a soaked piece of matboard on top of it. Finally we placed an unshaven intact penny at the top of the stack and place an LED on each end of our battery. Our end result lit up, causing us to then question the factors that caused this. for example, we placed more pennies onto the battery which ultimately made the LED light up brighter. In this lab I think that the solution soaked onto the matboard was a source of chemical energy and conductivity through acetic acid, sodium, chloride, and water, which was converted into an electrical current and passed through the pennies zinc and copper makeup, then finally through the lea...
