This is a technique experiment, so you do not need to include a chemical reaction (even though you will be exploiting acid and base reactions throughout this experiment). As part of your normal pre-lab in your notebook, complete the flow chart showing each step of the separation procedure to show which compounds go where in each step. Each step should be a balanced chemical equation.

The characteristics of two different types of reactions are shown below: reaction a: electrons are gained by the atoms of an element. reaction b: protons are lost by the atom of an element. which statement is true about the atoms of the elements that participate in the two reactions? their identity changes in both reaction a and reaction b. their identity changes in reaction a but not in reaction b. their identity changes in reaction b but not in reaction a. their identity remains the same in both reaction a and reaction b.
