Observing Chemical Reactions and Writing Equations Observing Chemical Reactions and Writing Equations Special Material Needed Solutions are at the side benches.
Procedure Make the additions indicated below, carefully observing the results.
Remember that you will have to write balanced equations corresponding to the reactions that you feel occurred with the additions. You many want to repeat an addition. Use pH paper to determine whether each mixture is acidic or basic. Some of these observations may stretch your abilities. You should take careful notes of all that you see, both immediately on mixing the reagents as well as on standing for some time.
