What type of chemical reaction (single displacement, double displacement, synthesis, decomposition) is happening in Part 1? What type of chemical reaction is happening in Part 2? (Hint: Oxygen is a required reactant for any purning!)
States of Matter
The substance that constitutes everything in the universe is known as matter. Matter comprises atoms which in turn are composed of electrons, protons, and neutrons. Different atoms combine together to give rise to molecules that act as a foundation for all kinds of substances. There are five states of matter based on their energies of attraction, namely solid, liquid, gases, plasma, and BEC (Bose-Einstein condensates).
Chemical Reactions and Equations
When a chemical species is transformed into another chemical species it is said to have undergone a chemical reaction. It consists of breaking existing bonds and forming new bonds by changing the position of electrons. These reactions are best explained using a chemical equation.
![Part 1:
1.
Fill beaker with 250 mL of water.
5. Record all observations in bullet form.
2. Add 2 drops of phenolphthalein to water.
Record the physical properties of the piece of
sodium you have been given.
4. Add the sodium to the water using the forceps
3.
• The odium piece in very
water turned pinK
Lighen freduged
• The procuct was a base fom thes chemical
reachon
and immediately cover the beaker with the wire
gauze.
The worer is also releasing smoke
Part 2:
300
1. Prepare a beaker with 100 mL of tap water.
2. Light the Bunsen burner until an intense blue
flame is achieved. You may need to adjust the air
intake to get this colour.
3. Put the sodium into the deflagrating spoon using
the forceps.
4. Heat the sodium until it catches fire and burns.
Cool the residue and then put into the beaker.
Add a few drops of phenolphthalein to the
beaker and cover with wire gauze.
5. Record all observations in bullet form.
• The flame aloave the solutson turnsierauig t
• The soluion inside tyrns white almost toke table
salt
fis soon as we pur the cleflating speon inside the
beaker and strrred t, turns pink](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Ff052cbee-3b69-4abe-b97d-22c217f3a080%2Fe2207786-1aeb-4cb1-9c54-14201a3b0c20%2Fsrh0w55_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
