Problem Statement: How can combining a cation with an anion form a compound?
Hypothesis: If combining a cation with an anion, then a new neutral compound can be formed,
because the charges are equal to zero
Variables:
Independent – combining cations with anions
Dependent – forming compounds
Constant – 2 drops of each chemical (if your group used 3 drops, write 3 instead of 2)
Materials:
7 pipettes
7 test tubes
1 chemplate
List all 7 chemicals used and the # of drops for each (example, 2 drops of Ag(NO 3)
Procedures:
1. Draw the data table provided for you
2. Put your safety equipment, gloves and goggles on.
3. Mix two (if you used 3, write 3 instead of 2) drops of each chemical indicated on your
table. Make sure you place them in the correct slots.
4. Answer the analysis questions.
Data Table:
-copy the data table
-you must have 3 items in each box (your observations, the formula of the new substance and
the name of the new substance). If no reaction occurred, please right, no reaction.
Observations (qualitative)
-Refer to the data table for the observations (example, Ag(NO3) combined with Na2(CO3) to form
a yellow substance, if that’s the case of course.) Write an observation for each reaction that
occurred and if no reaction occurred, please indicate which chemicals when combined, did not
react.
Data Analysis Questions: Q/A
-Answer the following questions. Questions and Answers
Analysis Questions:
1. How are binary and ternary ionic compounds formed?
2. What is the net charge of every ionic compound? Explain.
3. Which chemicals reacted? How can you tell?
4. Which chemicals did not react? Why not?
3 conclusion paragraphs – (Keep in mind that no conclusion = D, if you have everything else.)
-please indent all 3 paragraphs
-refer to the data table, observations, as well as the analysis questions for your major findings.
-use the appropriate vocabulary terms such as cation, anion, polyatomic ion, ternary
compound, etc. in your conclusion paragraphs.
