Thanks :D
I've had so much to write about errors, limitations, improvements and further research that my discussion section of the prac is 1400 words long!
Initially I had assumed that it was simply that, to aid in dissolving the fertiliser. However, I read on and there were little hints from my teacher that pH will affect precipitation. I guess HCl performs two roles in this experiment.
oh, and I never thought of adding HCl twice in the...
It was a clear solution and then brown precipitate just randomly formed. If we were in the 1700s, it'd be spontaneous generation, lol.
oh, and just to clarify, barium sulfate will only form precipitate in an acidic solution right? so, if it was made basic, nothing would happen?
um, I wouldn't say white, but it was a dark yellow solution. No visible impurities.
It was heated with a bunsen burner. and the HCl was meant to break down some existing bonds as later Ba(NO3)2 would be added in excess to produce barium sulfate precipitate
I did suspect contamination, but we...
Hey guys, I've just done my assessment today which was the gravimetric analysis to determine the sulphate content in the fertiliser sample. It was supposed to be straightforward: 1g of fertiliser dissolved in distilled water with 2MHCl and filtered to remove solids. Then 0.1Mbarium nitrate...
Very Impressive (Y)
I see you did very well for your UMAT so you must be the best person to ask. I was doing a bit of searching and I have confused myself a little now.
The UMAT is a multiple-choice paper right? but does it involve an interview?
Hey ya'll. I just had an in class assessment and it's an essay. Spent a long time on planning it and it's the longest essay I've ever written, personally. My paragraphs were really large, almost a page. Should I be splitting them up instead or just keeping it the same way? Technically, I'm still...
Hey everyone,
it's the first time I'm posting anything here as I have just learnt how to use this :D
Anyways, it seems that Belonging is becoming a problem for me. It took me long enough to actually understand what we're supposed to do. My teacher set us with an essay, "How The Simple Gift...
Hi, we've just handed in the assignment yesterday. I had to do a portfolio discussing my three related texts and how it relates to The Simple Gift.
Then later, I'll have to do a creative writing and in another two weeks would be an essay on belonging.
