Without mysteries, life would be very dull indeed. Introduction to Lab #18….. The Ten Test Tube Mystery
Ten Numbered T-Tubes • Each with a single substance • Given a part of today and tomorrow to prepare • No external reagents, testing materials. • Smell and sight can be used
All sets contain hydrochloric and sulfuric acid as well as ammonia and sodium hydroxide • All others are nitrates, chlorides or sulfates some held in an acid environment
Preliminary Work • Use your text, Appendix II, or the on-line resources wikipedia or webelements. • NR, no reaction • P, precipitate (followed by D if it dissolves) • State colors if appropriate • H, heat evolved • G or S for gas or smoke formed
