The Limiting Reactant and the Mass Percentage of a Solution

The study reveals that chemical reactions play an essential part in individuals’ lives. The reactions lead to the emergence of diverse essential activities such as combustion, rusting, and photosynthesis. A critical analysis of the available literature further reveals that two factors play a crucial role in determining the yield in a particular chemical reaction (Marin 20). The influential factors include; the amount of the starting materials and the anticipated percentage yield. Scientists further affirm that adjustment of environmental factors such as temperature and pressure may increase the yield of the products in a chemical reaction. The limiting reactant also helps in determining the amount of the yield (Davis et al. 36). A critical review of the existing literature further postulates that diverse chemical reactions occur in relation to a fixed number of moles. A critical analysis of the phenomenon is essentials towards determining the limiting reactant and the mass percentage of the solution in a reaction between sodium phosphate dodecahydrate (Na3PO4·12H2O) and barium chloride dihydrate (BaCl2·2H2O).

A Brief Discussion of the Materials and Methods

The study indicates that the reaction between Na3PO4·12H2O and BaCl2·2H2O results into an unknown solution. The researcher aims at identifying the limiting reagent and the mass percentage of each component (Davis et al. 36). Essentially, the reaction of the Na3PO4·12H2O and BaCl2·2H2O in an aqueous solution leads to the production of solid barium phosphate (Ba3 (PO4)2). The subsequent chemical equation represents the reaction.

2 Na3PO4·12H2O (aq) + 3 BaCl2·2H2O (aq) → Ba3 (PO4)2(s) + 6 NaCl (aq) + 30 H2O (l)

The reaction reveals that the two reacting salts and the sodium chloride (NaCL) are highly soluble in water. However, barium sulphate (Ba3 (PO4)2) is among the solids that do not dissolve in water. The subsequent ionic equation also represents the reaction.

6 Na+ + 2 PO43- + 24 H2O (l) + 3 Ba2+ + 6 Cl- + 6 H2O (l) → Ba3 (PO4)2(s) + 6 Na+ + 6 Cl- + 30 H2O (l)

The formulation of the net ionic reaction is also essentials in removing the spectator ions, cations, and anions. The interaction between the cations, anions, and spectators ions does not result to credible observable chemical reactions (Davis et al. 36). The formulation of the net ionic equation is also essential towards identifying the resulting precipitate. The subsequent represents the net ionic reaction.

2 PO43- + 3 Ba2+ → Ba3 (PO4)2(s)

Therefore the unknown solid sample 2A is Ba3 (PO4)2(s). The solid will help in the identification of the limiting reagent.

Discussion

The experiment postulates that the chemical reaction between Na3PO4·12 H2O and BaCl2·2 H2O leads to the formation of a heterogeneous mixture of unknown mass and composition. Therefore, adding water (H2O) in the unknown mass further leads to the formation of Ba3 (PO4)2. It further enhances the measurement of the new substance.

The study further indicates that chemical reaction between substances occurs within the range of fixed mole ratios. The net ionic equation helps in the determination of the reacting moles in a particular activity. The subsequent represents the net ionic equation.

2 PO43- + 3 Ba2+ → Ba3 (PO4)2(s)

The reaction suggests the formation of 2 moles of phosphate iron. The formation emanates from the 2 moles of Na3PO4·12H2O. The analysis further reveals that the Na3PO4·12H2O has a molar mass of 760.24g. The ionic equation further affirms the reaction of 3 moles of Barium. The 3 moles emanate from the 732.81g of BaCl2·2H2O. Besides, the successful completion of the reaction will lead to the formation of 1 mole of Ba3 (PO4)2 that is 601.93g.

The experiment reveals that the testing of the limiting reactant will help in the determination of the percent composition of the mixture of salt. Two tests will further help in the identification of the limiting reactant of the barium phosphate solid. A phosphate agent plays a crucial role in the determination of the amount of barium ions in the solution. The formation of a precipitate further reveals that existence of excess barium ions (Marin 20). The second test revolves around the use of a barium reagent to identify the existence of phosphate ions. The formation of a precipitate is an indicator of the excess phosphate ions. The subsequent calculation postulates the analysis of the data from the experiment.

Calculations

The calculation is required for the analysis of the data in this experiment. The study reveals that 0.188g of Ba3 (PO4)2 precipitate form from the 0.942g of the salt mixture. The analysis further reveals that the limiting reactant is BaCl2·2H2O. The reaction’s stoichiometry also shows that that 1 mole Ba3 (PO4)2 needs 3 moles Ba2+. The subsequent calculation postulates the number of BaCl2·2H2Og in the initial mixture that led to the production of 0.188 g Ba3 (PO4)2.

Computation 1: 0.188g Ba3 (PO4)2 x 1 mole Ba3 (PO4)2/601.93g Ba3(PO4)2 x 3 mole Ba2+/1 mole Ba3(PO4)2 = 9.37 x 10-4 mole Ba2+

9.37 x 10-4 mole Ba2+ x 1 mole BaCl2·2H2O/1 mole Ba2+ x 244g BaCl2·2H2O/1 mole BaCl2·2H2O = 0.228 g BaCl2·2H2O

Computation 2: The difference between the total mass of the original salt sample and the mass of the BaCl2·2H2O,

= (0.942 g – 0.229 g =) 0.713 g.

iii) The percent BaCl2·2H2O in the salt mixture is

= 0.229 g/0.942 g x 100 = 24.3% BaCl2·2H20

iii) The percent Na3PO4·12H2O in the salt mixture is 0.713 g/0.942 g x 100 = 75.7% Na3PO4·12H2O

Compare and Contrast Essay

Tuskegee University was an institution which trained only African Americans. It is the University which conducted one of the most controversial studies in healthcare in the last century. The study involved a review of syphilis progression and treatment. Although the condition was not treatable at the time, in the 1940s, the penicillin tests indicated that the drug could be useful in the treatment of the disease. Unfortunately, the researchers failed to inform the participants of the new cure, and they also studied them without informing them. They withheld treatment which would have saved the lives of these individuals.

Henrietta Lacks the institution used a woman whose cells were taken by an institution without informing her. Her cells were used for studies including cloning, gene mapping and other genetic studies (Miranda and David Jesse Sanchez 232). It is essential to note that most studies in cytology have been based on the analysis of genes from the woman commonly referred HeLa. Unfortunately, the whole process had happened without her consent, and she did not even know that her genes were so useful in science including her death.

The two cases have similarities and differences. One of the main similarities is that in both cases, the participants were not involved in making decisions. HeLa was not asked for her consent to have her genes taken by the researchers for any studies (Miranda and David Jesse Sanchez 232). It is notable that she remained in the dark until she died and there are no benefits that were received by her or her children despite the immense contributions her cells brought and continues to bring to medicine. Today, there are billions of genes cloned from her original cells, and they are used in healthcare, reaping profits for the researchers yet even her children do not have health care insurance (Njoku 286). In the Tuskegee research, the participants also did not benefit from the studies conducted on their bodies. Additionally, they were also not uninformed to give their consent, and neither were they involved in the decision making processes involving their conditions.

In yet another similarity between the two, the studies indicate that there was a blatant abuse of the African Americans in health care studies. In both cases, the participants were African Americans, and they were all involved in studies that they did not give consent to, and hence it proves bias in healthcare (Njoku 286). It is imperative to note that a conclusion may be made about the studies which could indicate that the individuals were used as lab animals. For instance, there are not differences in human genes, and a white person would have been used as the source of genes. However, they settled on the black person because of bias since it is the hierarchy they utilized in studies so that after tests had been successful in mice, they went to apes and a black person before they can use the studies positively on the white people. The same case applied to the black men studied for syphilis.

The main difference between the studies is that the Tuskegee study was later discontinued and it led to changes in the medical and clinical studies format yet the case of HeLa has not had any progress regarding finding justice for her and her family despite the benefits it has introduced in healthcare. It is also notable to see that he HeLa study continues to be beneficial to the world.

Fed Chairman Game Essay

ttp://sffed-education.org/chairthefed/default.html
The link above will take you to the \”Fed Chairman Game.\” In this game, you are appointed as the Chair of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve by the President in order to implement monetary policy. The game will take you through a simulated economy and allow you to control the federal funds (interest) rate in pursuit of full employment and of price stability. The object of the game is to get appointed for another term. Read the game\’s instructions, and play at least two rounds of the game.

After playing, write a paper reflecting on the simulation and describing your experience (250 word minimum). Include the following items in your reflection paper:
1. Using the concepts you\’ve been studying, describe how the game shows the use of monetary policy?
2.How can unforeseen circumstances effect the economy? Give examples.
3.How does the Fed react to these circumstances? Did you get re-appointed? Why or why not?

Please write and submit this reflection as a doc or docx attachment using the submission link, which is the link for the assignment title above.

Tips: the concepts you\’ve been studying, describe how the game shows the use of monetary policy?
What is monetary policy? What is it trying to do? How does the game show this? How does the game NOT simulate the real thing? Try to analyze and illustrate but avoid a simple play-by-play description of your actions. Analyze and evaluate your actions instead.

How can unforeseen circumstances effect the economy? Give examples.
Tell us examples that you dealt with in the simulation; tell us examples from news of the real world, too. What do these examples do to the money supply?

How does the Fed react to these circumstances? Did you get re-appointed? Why or why not?
How does the Fed really react using all its actual tools for monetary policy, not just those in the game? If you had all the Fed\’s tools, what would you have done?
