  • Reactivity Series – Reactions of Metals and Water (includes model data and conclusion)

    Reactivity Series – Reactions of Metals and Water (includes model data and conclusion)

    Introduction: The reactivity of metals with water is an important topic in chemistry, as it helps us understand the behavior of metals and their potential uses in different applications. In this investigation, we will determine the order of reactivity of a series of metals with water. Materials and Methods: Materials: Methods: Results: The following observations…

  • Esterification Reaction and equilibrium constant determination.

    Esterification Reaction and equilibrium constant determination.

    Esterification is a common organic reaction that involves the reaction of a carboxylic acid with an alcohol to form an ester and water. In this experiment, we will be carrying out an esterification reaction to test the equilibrium position at different temperatures using ethanoic acid and ethanol. Safety precautions: • Wear personal protective equipment (PPE)…
