Exp. 6.4 Synthesis of Zinc Chloride

 

CONCLUSION OUTLINE

 

1)                 Introduction…

·      define synthesis

·      explain goal of lab… what we hope to learn…       how the experiment was set up  (variable and control)

 

1)                 Discuss the procedure a bit…

·      spontaneous reaction, what gas was produced (how you know), why the test tubes were left overnight, what was done on second day (and why)

·      are there any char. property differences you noted between the original zinc and the compound zinc chloride?

 

1)                 SIGNIFICANCE OF CLASS RESULTS

·      is there a fixed ratio of zinc reacted compared to the mass of zinc chloride that forms?  (How do you know?)

·      were any values thrown out?  What might have happened in their lab?

·      what is the class average for the ratio, and how does it compare to the “actual value”?
