This laboratory experiment investigates the reaction between calcium metal and water. It aims to observe the products formed and analyze the chemical changes that occur. The procedure includes filling a test tube with water, adding calcium, and observing gas evolution and any color change with phenolphthalein. As a result, gas is produced, which can be tested with a flaming splint, and a liquid that reacts with phenolphthalein is formed. Observations and insights will be summarized in the discussion phase, followed by a conclusion outlining the findings.

Report • Introduction • a brief description (one short paragraph) of the purpose of the lab • Procedure • Describe step by step what you did in past passive tense. • “The test tube was filled with tap water.” • Observations = Q9 • Descriptions of all materials and reactions • Discussion • See next slide • Conclusion • Brief summary of your findings • References • Textbook plus at least 2 other sources, APA format
Discussion (see page 151) • Q10 = purpose of splint test? • Q11 = purpose of phenolphthalein test? • What is phenolphthalein? • How does the colour change help to identify the liquid product? • Q12 = what evidence indicated chemical changes were happening? • Q13 = why is it unsafe to touch Ca metal (be specific) • Write word and balanced chemical equations for reactions #1 (Ca + H2O) and #2 (splint test).
