Discussion and Conclusion
The purpose of this lab was to demonstrate how to find out how the ionic compound can be determined experimentally. This lab dealt with balancing the charges of ions. The ionic compounds are atoms of different elements that combine with one another. The components of mixtures are either compound or elements. The lab was concerned with finding the ratio with the amount of drops we put which were 0.1m Copper (?) Chloride and PO (down) 4 (up) 3-, which was also the independent variable. The height of precipitation that we measured in mm was our dependent variable because it was depending on what we physically did with the amount of substance drops in one test tube. The iron ion was Copper (II) Phosphate because we did the X-Method. We took CU (up) 2 , PO (down) 4 (Up) 3- and cross multiplied. We calculated CU (down) 3 (PO(down)4) (down) 2 which is Copper (II) Phosphate. All though everyone has different data, we all seem to have the same iron ion, Copper (II). The results show that when we added the PO (down) 4 (up) 3- to the Copper (?) Chloride, after 15 minutes, we observed that most of the substance was blue in the bottom of the test tube and clear at the top. Another thing that we observed was that it was somewhat cloudy; it might have been because the people who did the lab before us did properly clean the tubes out when they were done. Then we measured how high the substance was and it gave us the height of the total precipitation. We measured
