LaB 4A: Double Replacement Reaction Lab
 |
| Well Plate with many chemicals: chemicals 1-4 are chemicals reacting with zinc sulfate, chemicals 5-7 are chemicals reacting with copper sulfate, chemicals 8-9 are chemicals reacting with sodium phosphate, and chemical 10 is a chemical reacting with sodium carbonate. |
 |
| The various chemical equations that took place in the reactions. The picture below shows the net ionic equations that took place in reactions 2-7. No reaction took place in 1,8,9 and 10. |

Well, thats forty-five minutes of my life I can never get back...
This lab, in theory, was supposed to be relatively simple and straight forward. It consisted of mixing chemicals together and recording the reaction, and calculating the reaction's equations. However, the equations of the reactions proved to be quite challenging for me, and I easily became frustrated when it took longer than ten minutes. Something that surprised me during this lab was how difficult it was to tell if a reaction had taken place in some of the chemicals. Only after waiting for a few minutes was my group able to tell that a reaction had taken place at all.
