CHEMICAL PROPERTIES OF ACIDS AND BASES In this experiment, you will investigate some of the important chemical properties of acids and bases. This practical will be assessed for Data Collection, Data Analysis and Evaluation. Equipment required Bunsen burner Dropper Test tubes (6) Taper and matches Hydrochloric acid [HCl] 2mol L (30ml) Sodium Hydroxide solution [NaOH] 2mol L (30ml) Lime Water [Ca(OH)2] (20ml) Vinegar [3 - 4% CH3COOH] Two pea sized aluminium, copper, iron, magnesium and zinc About 1g each of: Copper (II) oxide [CuO] Sodium Hydrogencarbonate [NaHCO3] Ammonium Chloride [NH4Cl] Calcium Carbonate (marble chips) [CaCO3] Sodium ethanoate (sodium acetate) [Na CH3COOH] Sodium sulphide [Na2S] Sodium sulphite [Na2SO3] Blue litmus paper Red litmus paper Stopper fitted with gas delivery tube A Effect of Acids and Bases on Litmus #1 Place a drop of 2 mol L HCl onto pieces of red and blue litmus paper. Repeat using 2 mol L NaOH. B Reaction of Bases with Metals #1 Place pea sized pieces of Mg, Zn, Al, and Cu into separate test...
