Purpose: The purpose of this lab is to identify compounds as either solids (insoluble) or aqueous
(soluble), by practicing balancing equations and applying the solubility rules.

Conclusion: The purpose of this lab is to practice identifying compounds as either aqueous or
solid, we also practiced balancing the equations that we used. All of the reactions had a solid in
the results, except for the ninth reaction, which was a aqueous. Reaction #2 Lead II Nitrate +
Potassium Iodide -> Lead II Iodide + Potassium Nitrate was my favorite reaction of the nine
because it changed colors with just one drop of the compounds. Reaction #8 Mercury II Nitrate +
Potassium Phosphate -> Mercury II Phosphate was also a fun mix to have, because they reacted
to turn into a dark red and brown color. Over all I enjoyed this lab because it taught me and
showed me what happens when certain things mixed together. The errors found in this lab is the
last reaction, where it has been contaminated; thus, leaving a slight hint of blue in its reaction.
the contamination could of been from few factors including, stirring rods, insufficient cleaning of
well plate, or other solutions included into the reaction.
