Experiment producing Sodium carbonate
Original equation: NaOH + CaCO3 ----->Na2CO3 + Ca(OH)2
Balanced equation: 2NaOH + CaCO3 ----->Na2CO3 + Ca(OH)2
Materials Needed:
Safety glasses
Beaker
Sodium hydroxide
Calcium Carbonate
Triple Balance Measuring Beam
Water
Step 1: Put safety glasses on.
Step 2: Measure the mass of the beaker on triple balance beam, and record results.
Step 3: Take 6 pellets of Sodium hydroxide and place in beaker. Then measure the mass of the beaker with the Sodium hydroxide and record results.
Step 4: Add water to the beaker to make the Sodium hydroxide aqueous.
Step 5: Stir the Sodium hydroxide to mix it together. Once mixed add in one scoop of Calcium carbonate and watch reaction occur.
Step 6: Record observations.
