A Virtual Lab
Honors Chemistry

2. Instructions
Read through the objectives. Using a chemistry text book, answer the questions in the prelab. Then look at the following slides to attain your data for the lab.

3. Station 2A
The burning Bunsen burner is shown below.

4. Station 2B
The magnesium metal is shown in the picture on the left. The picture in the middle is the burning magnesium and the picture on the right is the product after the burning.

5. Station 3A
The sodium hydrogen carbonate before heating is shown on the left. The middle picture shows the substance during heating. The right picture shows the product after heating.
Looks the same but new substance!

6. Station 3B
Electricity passing through water shown below.

7. Station 4A
Ethanol is lit on fire as shown below.

8. Station 4B The mixing of sodium hydroxide and copper(II) nitrate.
Reaction is occurring here. The sodium hydroxide was a colorless solution.
Pure copper(II) nitrate

9. Station 5A
The pure copper(II) sulfate solution is shown on the left. The reaction after 5 minutes is shown on the right.

10. Station 5B
The steel wool (iron) is shown on the left. The right picture shows it when it touches the battery.

11. Station 6A
The reaction between silver nitrate and sodium sulfate is shown below. Both of the original substances were clear, colorless solutions.
product

12. Station 6B
The reaction between clear, colorless hydrogen monochloride solution and zinc is shown below.
