Lab 4A: Double Replacement Reaction Lab by Katie and Maya

In this lab we experimented with different combinations of solutions to see if they form a solid precipitate. 

Even though Ms. K warned us about what the precipitate looks like I had expected a solid produced by a chemical reaction to be more structured and a little less fluid looking. However the precipitate caused the substances to become a little cloudier rather than clear. 

It difficult to be precise with the dropper! We were probably inconsistent with the amount of different chemicals in the reaction. This skill will probably come with time and practice. 

A precipitate can make the liquid look cloudy 

Here are all the equations of the chemical reactions with the net ionic equations listed below. 

At first balancing the chemical equations was also difficult but once I got used to the process it was easy to go through the steps of the process.
