Lab sesion 2: Comparing characteristics of different substances 4-10-2013

In this photograph we are testing the solubility of a substance in water. 

In this image we are testing if magnesium will melt after a minute being heated with a bunsen burner. In the end the result was that it did not melt so it´s melting point is high.

In both of these images we can see a Schlenk tube. During this lab session we will be working with this material learning how to prepare it.

The Schlenk tube has a small valve that can be opened or closed depending on what direction you turn the stopcock.
