Chemical Reaction Lab

You will make observations on four potential reactions. You will combine the solid substances with water,

record observations, and determine if a reaction occurred.

Safety

Goggles

Wash hands after lab

Materials

Sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) - NaHCO

Sucrose (sugar) - C

Calcium chloride (rock salt) - CaCl

Container- bags or something similar

Graduated cylinder

Part 1

Procedure

1. Put one teaspoon of sodium bicarbonate in a bag. Label the bag.

Repeat with 1 teaspoon of sucrose. Repeat with 1 teaspoon of calcium chloride.

You will have 3 labeled bags when you are done with this step.

2. Measure out 10 mL of water with a graduated cylinder. Before you pour the water in, make sure

most of the air is out of the bag. Pour the water into the bag with the sodium bicarbonate and seal

quickly trying to get as much air as possible out of the bag.

3. Observe. Make a data table to record your results.

4. Repeat with sucrose and calcium chloride.

Data

Use the space below to make your own table to record your observations.

MUST INCLUDE: ions that substance dissociates into (if any), solubility (soluble=dissolves in water,

insoluble=did not dissolve in water), and at least 2 more categories of your choice

Analysis- Part 1

Was a new substance formed in any of these reactions? Why or why not?
