    Please, Please tell me if this is correct or not?

    Validity of the experiment: Our experimental procedure tested the hypothesis and found the concentration of sulfate ions in the fertilizer. Thus it appears to be valid. However this meant that; we assume each step of the procedure was perfect e.g. the entire sulfate was precipitated and...

    Sulfate content of fertilizer prac??

    I had to do this prac in class and our results were very very off. We had a diference of about 5% from the original results. I don't know what went wrong?? I know we spilled about 2 drops but it wasn't enough to affect the results this substantially. I know that I stirred the mixture...

    Why do barium and sulfate only react under acidic conditions?

    We did a prac in class today where we Put Barium chloride and copper sulphate solutions together and added a couple of drops of HNO3 and in another test tube put them together and added a couple of drops of NaOH. The only one where they reacted to form Barium sulphate was the acidic one. So...

    Sulfate content in fertilizer experiment?

    The method that our teacher gave us says the following: 1. Weigh 1 g of fertilizer 2. Add it in 250 mL of 0.1M/L HCl and stir to dissolve as much as possible 3. Filter of insoluble material Why do we filter it after adding the HCl? And also why do we add HCl in the first place?

    Is this experiment reliable??

    We measured the heat of solution for 2 salts. The result for salt 1 was 13 kj/mol while the actual result from the data table is supposed to be 15kj/mol. The second salt was also off the actual value by 17 kj/mol The experiment was repeated using the same equipment Is it reliable??
