  1. I have found about half of these and I would greatly appreciate help...thanks for your help in advance.

    5. Compound formed by an alkali and a halogen.

    If you mean alkali metal, then look no further than your kitchen for a compound that is formed between an alkali metal and a halogen.

     

    12. Solution of an isomer of CH3-CH2-CH2OH.

    Try drawing the molecule out, and placing the OH in various locations

     

    25. Ionic sunstance whose lattice energy is greater than its hydration energy.

    Look for compounds that, when added to water, cool down the solution

     

    To ecoli: IMO, it sure seems like homework...

  2. The Sn1 nucleophilic substitution cannot be applied to a primary haloalkane because of the instability of the carbocation that would be formed (i.e. a tertiary carbocation is much more stable than a primary carbocation).

     

    Similarly for electrophilic substitution, this occurs on aromatic rings and not alkenes because of the stability of the resulting arenium ion (i.e. due to resonance). On an alkene, no such resonance can occur, and thus it is less stable.

  3. Using ammonium nitrate to show off endothermic properties is always fun (i.e. put a drop of water on a piece of wood, and then mix ammonium nitrate into a flask, put on top of the drop of water. It'll freeze, and you can freely lift up the block of wood).

     

    Bismuth metal can be heated up and if cooled down slowly, you can form beautiful crystals (I'd do the heating in a crucible).

     

    Zinc dust is a good reductor for many reactions.

  4. You can make methylsalicylate if you have the salicylic acid. It's a little early in the morning for me, so I can't quite remember how to convert the ASA to SA, but it's definitely possible; perhaps if I remember I'll edit this post :)

  5. What you said is true; volume does not play a role because of the number of particles (i.e. a 10 ml solution of 1 M HCl would react with metal slower than a 10 ml solution of 10 M HCl would).

     

    However, in terms of surface area, volume might matter. For example, imagine a small tube filled with a 1 M solution of HCl making contact with a piece of metal (small surface area) vs. a large diameter tube filled with the same volume of 1 M HCl making contact with another piece of metal.

     

    Obviously, the larger diameter tube will have more surface area available for the metal/acid interaction to occur (i.e. the volume of acid is spread out over more surface area)

  6. so if you are looking for wether or not hcl is reactive with a metal, a change in color of the metal would not be something to look for?

    I would not look for a colour change, no. I can think of several metals that will react with hydrochloric acid that do not elicit a colour change.

  7. You would simply need to look up the phase diagrams for your various gases (assuming they are pure) in order to find the pressure and/or temperature required to liquify them.

     

    It is unlikely you would be able to store a gas as a liquid in a glass container for any period of time, however. The pressure required to keep gases liquified will exceed the ability of the glassware to withstand implosion.

  8. my dad has this thick metallicy stuff i, you can bend it east and he said it would protect radiant heat easily, it starts with a M. My dads a senior captain firefighter so he knows a lot about hazmat and science things.:D

    You're probably referring to Mylar in this case.

  9. I've always thought of experimental error as a more "general" term to errors. For example, if you forgot (I certainly hope you didn't though!) to add a specific reagent, or perhaps contaminated one of your reagents accidently, this could be considered experimental error. Surely, you can't call this percentage of error, as it'd be impossible to arrive at a calculable numerical answer.
