Chemical Formulas and Chemical Equations: Purpose: To study different types of chemical equations and to conclude if a reaction occurs when two compounds are combined.

Chemical Formulas and Chemical Equations Purpose: To study different types of chemical equations and to conclude if a reaction occurs when two compounds are combined. When reactions occur you should then be able to predict the products which are formed. Procedures for Series A-E Series A: Four test solutions and four reagents are added together making 16 reactions. You note the appearance of all the solutions before and after the reactions and also noting if precipitates …

…noting the pH each time. Results found in data tables. Conclusion: When combining an acid and a base, a salt, gas, and water is formed. When combining a reactive metal with a strong acid, hydrogen gas is released. How vigorously the hydrogen gas is produced is a good indication as to how reactive the metal is. We also concluded that different compounds exchange certain parts while others stay as ions based on the solubility rules.
