3Lab Reporting and Assessment

Laboratory Notebook:

You are required have a marble composition book for lab work with your name and period number labeled on the front cover.

Designate the first two pages of the book (front and back of 1 page is fine) as a table of contents. Complete the table of contents as you do the labs throughout the year. Number the pages of your notebook in the top, right corner beginning with the table of contents page (page 1). Number the odd numbered pages only (even numbered pages will be the back of each page). You may write on one or both sides of the pages at your discretion. Be sure to include the page number that each lab starts in your table of contents.

All information entered into lab notebooks must be neat and logically organized.

It is highly recommended that lab notebooks be completed in pencil.

Pre-Lab Requirement: Before coming to class on the day of a lab, you must read the entire experiment and complete the following in your lab notebook:

Title of Lab (Be sure to include in the table of contents as well)

Date that the lab was performed

Pre-Lab Score: __________ Post-Lab Score:___________The score will be filled in by the teacher, but please have the labels and lines prepared.

Objective(s): State the purpose(s) of the experiment.

Procedure: Write, in a paragraph, a brief synopsis of the procedure conducted. Please note that this is a summary of the procedure. Do not simply copy the procedure. The intention is to provide a big picture understanding of the experiment. Do not include specific details.

Data and Results: Data are measurements and observations recorded during an experiment and results are calculations performed with these data. Prepare tables, in advance, for the recording of the necessary data to be collected during the experiment and the results to be calculated. The data and results sections may be combined into one table or separated at your discretion. Data and/or observations are to be recorded throughout the experiment in these tables prepared in advance.

Error Discussion Table: A table must be set up to discuss possible errors for each procedure step of the lab. The table should have 3 columns with the following headings: Procedure Step, Possible Error, and Effect on Objective (you should restate the objective here.)

Point of emphasis: The number one cause of laboratory accidents, mistakes, and misunderstandings of experiments is not being prepared in advance. Therefore, the pre-lab requirement explained above is mandatory. Students who do not have their lab notebooks on the day of the lab or have not completed these requirements will not be permitted to do the experiment at that time and will not receive credit for the pre-lab requirements. The lab will have to be made up after school. The pre-lab requirements will still be in effect, but points will not be

4awarded. This is a lab safety issue, so exceptions to this policy will not be made. Students making up lab work after school due to absences will still be able to earn the credit for the pre-lab requirements.

Post-Lab Requirement: There will usually be some time at the conclusion of an experiment to begin the following:

Graph: (If applicable) Graphs must be done on graph paper and attention must be paid to neatness and precision. Be sure to include a title and properly label the axes. Cut the graph paper down to size and attach it to the appropriate page in your lab notebook.

Sample Calculations: Show the work for one of each calculation type. Solutions to calculations must be included in the results section. This section is simply for showing work. There should not be any important information in this section that does not appear in another section.

Questions: It is not necessary to recopy the question, but be sure that they are properly numbered. Work must be shown for calculation based questions.

Conclusion: State whether or not the objectives of the experiment were met. Support your conclusions with details from the experiment. For example, if the objective of an experiment is to determine the molar mass of an unknown, the determined molar mass must be stated in the conclusion. Also, it is appropriate to mention sources of error in the conclusion except when there is a specific question regarding error.

Lab Assessment

Periodically, a lab test or quiz will be given which will assess all of the labs performed since the last lab test. Students will sometimes be permitted to use their laboratory notebooks for these tests, but may not use the lab handouts. Forgetting to bring your lab notebook on the day of the assessment does not excuse you from taking the test.

Lab notebooks will be checked at the beginning of each lab. At this time, notebooks will be checked for completion and thoroughness of the pre-lab requirement of the current lab. The post-lab requirement due date will vary for each lab. You will be awarded points for each of these requirements and these points earned will be factored into the lab test to follow.

The lab quizzes will vary in points depending on the labs assessed and the number of questions. Points for the pre-lab and post-lab discussion will be added to the assessment grade.

8Law of Conservation of Matter Name___________________________

Period______Date_________________

Introduction:

In part I of this lab, you will be reacting separate solutions of two compounds to produce two different compounds. One of these products will be insoluble in water and will therefore precipitate out of solution. The other product will remain dissolved. If the precipitate is filtered out of the solution and dried, its mass can be determined. If the remaining filtrate is heated to dryness, the other compound will be left as a residue and its mass can be determined. Knowing the masses of initial substances reacted and the masses of the substances produced, the law of conservation of matter can be observed. In part II, a different reaction will be performed, but the reactant and product masses will be compared as in part I.

Procedure:

Part I1. Weigh 2.12 g of strontium nitrate — Sr(NO3)2 — and place it in a small beaker. Remember to

weigh the paper first. Similarly, weigh 1.06 g of sodium carbonate − Na2CO3 − and place it into another small beaker. Add 10 mL of deionized water to each and stir until dissolved.

2. Combine the two solutions.3. Weigh a piece of filter paper. Set up a filtering apparatus using a long stem funnel, the folded

filter paper, and an Erlenmeyer flask. Gently swirl the beaker containing the products in order to mix up the precipitate and begin to slowly pour it into the filter. Do not allow the contents to rise higher than the filter paper in the funnel. Continue adding the product to the filter (while swirling the beaker) until the beaker is empty. Add a small amount of water to the beaker to rinse it and pour that into the filter as well.

4. After all of the liquid has passed through the filter, carefully remove the filter paper (use forceps) and lay it flat on a watch glass. Place the watch glass under the heat lamp in the fume hood.

5. Weigh a 250 mL beaker. Pour the filtrate into this beaker and heat it with a Bunsen burner (ring stand, etc.) to dryness.

6. Once dry, weigh the filter paper containing the precipitate and the beaker containing the residue.

Part II1. Add 20 mL of dilute hydrochloric acid – HCl – to an Erlenmeyer flask. Weigh the flask and

contents.2. Weigh 1.00 g of calcium carbonate – CaCO3 – and add this to the Erlenmeyer flask.3. When the reaction is complete, weigh the flask and contents again.

10Physical and Chemical Changes Name___________________________

Period______Date_________________

***Measurement tip: Most liquid measures in this experiment are 2 mL. To approximate this volume, measure 2 mL of water with a graduated cylinder and pour it into a test tube. Note the height of the water in the test tube. Fill test tubes to that height throughout the lab when a 2 mL is called for.Procedure:

1. Grind several crystals of copper(II) sulfate pentahydrate (CuSO4 ∙ 5H2O) with the mortar and pestle. Record observations. Transfer the powder into a test tube and heat it in a Bunsen burner. Note changes in the appearance of the solid and any changes at the mouth of the test tube. Allow the test tube to cool for several minutes and then add tap water one drop at a time until a noticeable change occurs. Disposal: add water and heat over Bunsen burner. Discard in drain with water.

2. Obtain a 5 cm piece of magnesium ribbon and cut it into two equal sized pieces. Grip one piece of magnesium with crucible tongs and hold it in the flame until it ignites. Hold the burning Mg over an evaporating dish and do not look directly at it while it is burning. When it stops burning, allow the ashes to fall into the evaporating dish and observe. Disposal: metal trash can.

Add 2 mL of 3.0 M HCl (hydrochloric acid) to two clean test tubes and place them in a test tube rack. Add the other piece of magnesium to one of the test tubes and the ash from the burned magnesium to the other. Observe. Disposal: HCl waste beaker in classroom.

3. Add 2 mL of 1.0 M NaOH (sodium hydroxide) to one test tube and 2 mL of 1.0 M NH4Cl (ammonium chloride) to another. Using proper wafting techniques, observe the odor of each solution. Combine the contents of each test tube in a small beaker. Gently swirl the beaker and observe the odor. Disposal: discard in drain with water.

4. Pour 15 mL of tap water into a beaker. Add 3 scoops of copper (II) chloride (CuCl2) to the water. Stir to dissolve. Measure the temperature of the solution. Obtain a piece of aluminum foil and roll it up in a ball. Add the foil to the beaker and insert the thermometer. Record the highest temperature reached. Disposal: solids in metal trash can, liquid in drain with water.

5. Measure 1.0 g of solid sodium sulfate (Na2SO4) and put it in a beaker. Add 50 mL of deionized water. Stir until dissolved. Add 2 mL of this solution to a test tube and 20 mL of it to an evaporating dish. The rest can be discarded. Place the evaporating dish on a ring stand with a wire gauze and heat the evaporating dish to dryness. While it is heating, add 2 mL of 0.10 M Ba(NO3)2 (barium nitrate) to a new test tube and observe. Pour the test tubes containing the barium nitrate and the sodium sulfate into a beaker and observe. Disposal: barium waste beaker in classroom.

6. Add 2 mL of 0.10 M HCl to one test tube and 2 mL of 0.10 M NaOH (sodium hydroxide) to another. Measure the pH of each solution by dipping a clean stirring rod into the solution and touching a piece of pH paper with the stirring rod. Compare the color of the paper to the color chart to obtain the pH value. After the pH has been measured for each solution, combine the solutions in a beaker. Gently swirl the beaker and measure the pH of the resulting solution. Disposal: HCl waste beaker in classroom.

7. Measure 0.20 g of iron filings and 0.20 g of powdered sulfur. Combine the two solids in a small beaker and mix them thoroughly. Carefully pour the mixture into a small, disposable test tube. Run a magnet along the outside of the test tube and record observations. In the fume hood, heat the test tube in Bunsen burner for several minutes until the mixture glows. Allow it to cool for several minutes. Run a magnet along the outside of the test tube again. Observe. Disposal: broken glass container.

14Law of Definite Composition Name___________________________

Period______Date_________________

Introduction:

Elements are a kind of matter that cannot be decomposed by ordinary chemical means. Compounds are chemical combinations of elements. The law of definite composition (a.k.a. law of definite proportions) states that the elements forming a compound always combine in the same proportion by mass. Water, H2O, is always a chemical combination of hydrogen and oxygen in a 1:8 ratio by mass (1 g of hydrogen for every 8 g of oxygen). If a mixture of hydrogen and oxygen were reacted in some other mass ratio, for example 1:2, water would still be formed but some hydrogen would remain unreacted.

In this experiment, you will examine the reaction between magnesium metal and oxygen gas. When magnesium burns, it chemically combines with oxygen to form magnesium oxide. You will determine the mass ratio of magnesium to oxygen.

Procedure:

1. Coordinate with another lab group in the class. Each of the two groups is to obtain a piece of magnesium (15 cm – 25 cm) of different lengths, complete the procedure, and exchange data with the other group.

2. Determine the mass of an empty crucible and cover. Coil (spiral) the magnesium loosely, add it to crucible and reweigh it with its cover.

3. Set up a ring stand with an iron ring, clay triangle and Bunsen Burner. Support the covered crucible in the clay triangle and begin to heat it gently. Periodically, lift the lid slightly to allow oxygen to enter and to determine if the magnesium is reacting (it will glow strongly and produce smoke). It is important to minimize the amount of smoke that escapes.

4. Once the magnesium is reacting, continue heating the crucible and slightly lifting the lid until no more smoke is present. At that point, rest the lid on the crucible and triangle so that it is only partly on and heat the crucible intensely for 5 minutes. Allow the crucible to cool for several minutes.

5. In addition to magnesium oxide forming in the crucible, magnesium nitride may also form. To remove the nitride, add ten drops of distilled water (this will convert the magnesium nitride to magnesium oxide and will release ammonia gas – see if you can smell the ammonia being released by using proper wafting techniques). Heat the crucible intensely again for five minutes with the lid off.

6. Allow the crucible to cool for several minutes and determine the mass of the crucible, cover and product. Consider this mass as the mass after the first heating.

7. Reheat the crucible for another 3 minutes without the lid. Allow it to cool and reweigh it for the second time. It is necessary to have two consecutive masses within 0.03 g of one another. If the second mass is not within 0.03 g of the first, then a third heating and massing will be necessary. Use the final mass for all calculations.

15Calculations:

Trial 1 Trial 2

Mass of magnesium reacted

Mass of magnesium oxide produced

Mass of oxygen reacted

Ratio of the mass of magnesium to the mass of oxygen

Percent Error (accepted ratio = 1.52)

Questions:

1. In the procedure, you were asked to reheat the crucible repeatedly until the last two masses agreed within 0.03 g. What is the purpose of this reheating?

2. If you were to combine 80.0 g of oxygen with some hydrogen, how much hydrogen would you need to completely use up all the oxygen? The hydrogen to oxygen ratio is 1:8 by mass. Show work.

3. Suppose a compound of sodium and chlorine is formed in the ratio of 1.54g of chlorine for each gram of sodium. How much sodium would you need to completely react 45.0 g of chlorine?

4. How would your results for this experiment be affected if all of the magnesium did not react? (Be sure to explain the effect on the final ratio)

5. Explain the significance of analyzing data obtained from the combustion of 2 pieces of magnesium of different lengths.

6. Suppose you tried to combine 42.0 g of magnesium with 45.0 g of oxygen.

a. Which of these two substances would have been left over after the reaction and how much? (Show work)

b. How much magnesium oxide would be formed? (show work)

Procedure:

1) Wear goggles and apron at all times.

2) Measure the total volume of the Erlenmeyer flask by first placing the stopper in the top of the flask and drawing a line indicating the bottom of the stopper with your grease pencil. Fill the Erlenmeyer flask with water up to the line and pour the water into a graduated cylinder to measure it.

3) Take the 1000 mL beaker and fill it with approximately 400 mL of water. Place a one-hole stopper fitted with glass tubing in the top of the Erlenmeyer flask, and place the flask in the beaker of water. Make sure there is space between the flask and sides of the beaker to allow room for the steam to escape. Heat the water to boiling. Continue heating for 3-5 minutes. (see figure A)

4) Measure the temperature of the boiling water and assume this temperature to be the same as the temperature of the gas in the flask. Remove the flask from the beaker. Protect your hand with a towel while placing your finger firmly over the end of the glass tubing. CAUTION: FLASK IS HOT! Submerge the flask upside down in the bin of water in the sink. (Be careful to not allow air to enter the flask while transferring.)

5) Remove your finger from the glass tubing and hold the flask under the water (with open end down) until the flask has cooled and the water ceases to enter. Raise the flask until the water level outside the flask is equal to the water level inside the flask. The pressure is now equal to the atmospheric pressure. (see figure B)

6) Place your finger over the glass tubing while the outside levels are equal. Remove the flask from the water and place it upright on the lab counter. Measure the volume of the water in the flask by pouring the water in a graduated cylinder.

7) Measure the temperature of the water bath and assume this to be the gas temperature.

8) Repeat the procedure for Trial 2 and 3 using different water temperatures. (The bins in the other two sinks.)

1. barium chloride2. magnesium nitrate3. sodium chromate4. aluminum sulfate5. potassium chromate6. silver nitrate

Combine each solution with every other solution by combining 1 drop of each on a transparency. (Combine solution 1 with each of solutions 2 through 6. After that set is complete, combine solution 2 with each of the solutions 3 through 6, etc.) Record all combinations that produce a precipitate.

Data: Record all combinations that produced a precipitate.

Analysis: For each precipitate reaction, write the formula and name for each reactant on the space provided. Write the names and formulas for the two compounds produced. (This can be determined by switching the metals in the reactants). Consult a table of solubility rules to determine which product is the precipitate.

Note: There is space provided for 10 precipitates. There may be less.

Example: A yellow precipitate is produced when solutions of lead(II) nitrate and sodium iodide are mixed.

The two products (by swapping metals) would be sodium nitrate and lead(II) iodide. According to the solubility rules, sodium nitrate is soluble. Therefore, lead(II) iodide must be the precipitate.

Period______Date_________________Qualitative Analysis 1: Relative Solubilities

The elements of the second column of the periodic table all form ions with a +2 charge. The

chemistry of these elements is so similar that they are difficult to separate. Many of their compounds are

only slightly soluble; however, it is possible – by choosing the proper anion – to find differences in

solubility, which will permit you to differentiate between the cations of these metals.

In this experiment, you will study the effect of adding reagents containing specific anions to solutions

containing the cations of the metals in the second column. After a systematic study of the relative

solubilities of their carbonates, chromates, sulfates, oxalates, and hydroxides you should be able to make a

qualitative analysis of an unknown solution containing one or more of these cations.

26Unknowns Procedure:

1. Obtain your unknown set # from your teacher. 2. Test each of your unknowns with the anions listed in the flow chart below and record your results in

the appropriate spaces3. On transparency, add 1 drop of unknown with CrO4

-2 and 1 drop of unknown with NH3.4. If precipitate forms with CrO4

-2, add 20 drops of unknown with 20 drops of CrO4-2. This is to ensure

that all the barium is removed from the unknown solution. Make sure that a slight yellow color remains in solution. This indicates that chromate is in excess and all barium is removed.

5. Centrifuge test tube to separate solid from solution. 6. If no precipitate forms on the transparency, move to the next step. Add 20 drops of unknown with 20

drops of SO4-2.

ANY time a precipitate forms, centrifuge test tube for at least 10 seconds. Remove liquid with a pipette. The liquid must be clear. Continue to centrifuge until it is clear. Once clear solution is removed and placed in a new test tube, add 20 drops of the next anion to the solution.

If no precipitate forms, move on to the next step adding 20 drops of the next anion.

If a precipitate formed with NH3, it is unnecessary to do the last step of adding 20 drops of NH3. If no precipitate formed, double check work at the end by adding 20 drops of NH3 to see if a precipitate forms.

7. Fill in the ions present in both of your unknowns on the slip provided to you by your instructor and hand in by the end of the period.

The flow chart lists all the possible metal ions that may be present in your unknown at the top. When you test your unknown with the first anion, CrO4

-2, a reaction will occur. Record whether or not a precipitate was formed as well as a description of it. Then refer to your data table above that contains your knowns and compare the results. For example, if there is a match with the reaction between Mg+2 and CrO4

-2, then Mg+2 must be present in your unknown. Complete the analysis for both of your unknown solutions.

Period______Date_________________Hydrates

Introduction:Many ionic compounds (salts) have one or more water molecules loosely bonded to it which can be easily removed by heating to produce the anhydrous salt. For example, the ionic compound copper(II) chloride is hydrated with two water molecules and is properly named copper(II) chloride dihydrate. The chemical formula is CuCl2∙2H2O. Mathematically, one can conclude that every mole of copper(II) chloride dihydrate contains one mole of anhydrous copper(II) chloride and two moles of water.

In this lab, two hydrated salts will be heated to drive off the water molecules to produce the anhydrous salt. Based on the mass differential, you can determine the mass and moles of water present in the compound. From these data, the number of water molecules in the formula is to be determined.

Hydrated Salts: MgSO4∙×H2O CuSO4∙×H2O BaCl2 ∙×H2O MnSO4∙×H2O Na2CO3∙×H2O

Procedure:

1. Using a ring stand, iron ring, clay triangle and Bunsen burner, heat an empty crucible (no lid) intensely for two minutes to burn off any impurities on the crucible that may ultimately affect the mass. For the remainder of the experiment, the crucible is only to be handled with crucible tongs. Allow the crucible to cool for a few minutes and determine its mass.

2. Add one of the hydrated salts to the crucible until it is approximately one-third full and determine the combined mass.

3. Heat the crucible intensely for 10 minutes.4. Allow it to cool for a few minutes and then determine the mass.5. Heat the crucible again for about 2 minutes. Allow it to cool and remass. If the mass is not within

0.03 grams of the previous mass, it must be heated again until there are two consecutive masses within 0.03 grams. Remember to use the final mass in all calculations.

6. Repeat the above procedure for the other hydrated salt.

Determining the Value of R Procedure:

1. Obtain a butane lighter and determine the mass.2. Fill a pneumatic trough and a 500 mL Erlenmeyer flask with very warm water. Be sure that the

flask is completely filled with water. Place a glass plate over the mouth of the flask and carefully invert the flask into the trough. Place a thermometer in the trough, but do not yet measure the temperature. Do not submerge entire thermometer.

3. While holding the lighter in the water under the mouth of the flask, depress the gas release button. You will observe the flask filling with butane as it displaces the water. You must collect enough butane so that the water level inside the flask (while touching the bottom of the trough) is at or below the water level in the trough.

4. Shake off any water from the lighter and dry it thoroughly with a paper towel. Allow it to sit for a few minutes to ensure that it is dry and then reweigh it.

5. Equilibrate the pressure in the flask with the atmosphere. While holding the flask at this position, slide the glass plate under the mouth and quickly remove the flask from the trough turning it right side up without losing any water. Keep the glass plate over the mouth and carry the flask to the fume hood to release the gas.

6. Measure and record the water temperature, barometric pressure, volume of water remaining in the flask and the volume of water required to completely fill the flask

Period______Date_________________Qualitative Analysis 2: Ag + , Hg 2

2+ , and Pb 2+

Background Information:

Most common metal ions form soluble chlorides except Ag+, Hg22+, and Pb2+. Because of this it is

possible to separate these ions from other cations as chloride precipitates. Identification can then be made on the basis of distinguishing reactions of each chloride. The mercury (I) ion is a bit unusual in that is occurs in pairs: hence Hg2

2+ rather than Hg+.In the first part of this experiment you will become familiar with a few reactions used to identify the

silver, mercurous, and lead ions in aqueous solution. From these observations you should be able to devise a method by which you can analyze an unknown solution and determine the presence or absence of Ag+, Hg2

2+, and Pb2+.

Procedure: 1. Prepare precipitates of AgCl, Hg2Cl2, and PbCl2 in separate, labeled test tubes by adding about 5 drops

of 6 M hydrochloric acid, HCl, to about 1 mL of each of the test solutions, AgNO3, Hg2(NO3)2, and Pb(NO3)2. Make a record of your observations for each test.

2. Allow the chloride precipitates to settle to the bottom of the test tube. Centrifuge. Decant and discard the solution. Add about 2 mL of distilled water to each precipitate. Stir/shake the tests tubes to allow the precipitate to dissolve (not all of the precipitate will dissolve).

3. Centrifuge. Remove about 5 drops of the clear solution from each solution and transfer the drops to clean test tubes. Add about 5 drops of 0.1 M potassium chromate solution, K2CrO4, to each of the 3 test tubes. Determine and record which of the cations forms a precipitate with the chromate ion.

4. Decant and discard the solutions from the test tubes in step number 2. Save the precipitate for the next step.

5. To test the solubility of the chloride precipitates in aqueous ammonia, add about 3 mL of 6M ammonia solution, NH3 (aq), to each of the precipitates.

6. Shake the test tubes to dissolve as much of the solid chloride as possible. For each, decant about 1 mL of clear solution into a clean test tube. Add about 2-3 mL of 6 M nitric acid, HNO3, to each tube of decanted solution. Which chloride re-precipitated?

7. Examine your record and complete the flow chart which summarizes the steps you would use to analyze and unknown containing all three cations.

8. Analyze the unknowns starting with step #1. (Note: Make sure to react only 1 mL of your unknown with the HCl.)

Period______Date_________________The Molar Volume of a Gas

Procedure:

1. Measure the length of a piece of magnesium ribbon no more than 2.5 cm. Cut the Mg square and measure accurately. Using the grams per meter conversion provided, calculate the mass of the magnesium. Return the Mg to its container immediately after cutting. Do not set aside on table.

2. Cut and wrap a piece of copper wire (approximately 15 cm) to form a “cage” around the magnesium. Thread one end of the copper wire through the hole in the rubber stopper so that the magnesium is suspended from the narrower end of the stopper.

3. Using a funnel, pour approximately 10 mL of 6.0 M HCl into the gas measuring tube.

4. Using a beaker or the distilled wash bottle, slowly add distilled water into the tube. Hold the eudiometer at an angle while filling to minimize the amount of water that mixes with the acid. Be sure to fill the tube to the very top so that there is no air in the system.

5. Place the stopper with the magnesium in the copper cage into the eudiometer tube so that the magnesium ribbon is inside the tube. Fill the holes of the stopper with distilled water.

6. Invert the tube into a 600 mL beaker and clamp the tube to a ring stand. The eudiometer should not sit on the bottom of the beaker. Gently tap the eudiometer to release any trapped gas.

7. Move the eudiometer from the beaker to the graduated cylinder.

8. When the reaction stops, adjust the tube so that the water level in the tube is the same as the level in the large graduated cylinder and record the gas volume at the point. Equilibrate the pressure.

Period______Date_________________Quantitative Study of Chemical Reactions

Equations are balanced in accordance with the law of conservation of mass-energy. In other words, the number of atoms of each element in the reactants must equal the number of atoms for those same elements in the products.

Describing a chemical reaction in terms of the number of atoms and molecules involved is not always practical. Chemists are forced to work with large quantities of atoms and molecules, which are measured in grams, kg, and moles.

Objectives: In the following experiment, you will… React copper and silver nitrate to obtain silver and copper(II) nitrate Measures the masses of the reactants and products Determine the coefficients for the balanced equation of the reaction based on your mass data. Calculate the percent reclaimed silver following additional reactions.

Your success in this experiment depends heavily upon your careful lab technique, your clear labeling of all beakers and your use of the same balance throughout this experiment.

Part A: Reaction of silver nitrate and copper

Balanced Equation: _________________________________________________________________

1. Obtain a vial of silver nitrate and determine its mass.

2. Empty the contents into a large test tube. Fill the test tube approximately one-half full with distilled water. Stir the solution until all is dissolved. Support the test tube in a beaker or a test tube rack.

3. Replace the cap on the vial and determine its mass empty.

4. Obtain a copper wire (25 – 30 cm) and determine its mass.

5. Coil the copper around a pencil. The copper will be suspended into the silver nitrate solution. Compress the coils so that all of the coils will be submerged in the solution.

6. Insert the copper wire into the test tube. Bend the end of the copper wire and hook it to the rim of the test tube. The copper will need to remain in the test tube for at least 30 minutes. After 15 minutes, gently agitate the copper wire to shake off some of the silver being produced to expose more of the copper to the silver nitrate. If the test tube is going to be left over night to react, be sure to agitate the copper wire before leaving the lab.

7. Check to see if the reaction is complete by first shaking the copper wire to remove the silver and then by observing the wire for a minute to see if any more silver forms. If the reaction is complete, proceed to the next step. If not, wait a few more minutes and repeat this procedure.

468. Obtain a clean, dry 100 mL beaker and label it with your initials and period number. Determine

the mass of the beaker.

9. While carefully removing the copper wire from the test tube, rinse it using a wash bottle into the test tube. Be sure that all of the silver is removed from the copper and is in the test tube. Take the copper wire to the front desk and dip it in the bottle of acetone (facilitates drying). Place the copper on a paper towel at your station and allow it to dry. Once dry, determine its mass.

10. Pour the contents of the test tube into the preweighed 100 mL beaker. Use a wash bottle to flush all of the silver from the test tube into the beaker.

11. Allow the silver to settle into a beaker. Carefully decant the solution into a larger beaker leaving the silver behind. (Decanting into another beaker will allow you to recover any silver that may accidentally be poured out.)

12. Wash the silver 3 times with 15 mL (approximately) portions of distilled water. Each time, allow the silver to settle and decant the solution into the larger beaker. It is okay to leave some liquid in the beaker. On the third washing, decant a small portion of the wash solution onto a watch glass. Add 1 drop of the 6M NH3 solution. If a blue color is present, there are still copper ions in the solutions and additional washings will be necessary. If it is colorless, there is no longer any copper solution left and you can proceed to the next step.

13. Place your beaker of silver in the fume hood under the heat lamps to dry. Once dry, determine the mass of the beaker with the silver.

Part B: Reaction of silver and nitric acid to produce silver nitrate, nitrogen dioxide and water

Balanced Equation: _________________________________________________________________

1. This procedure will be performed by your teacher. After you have measured the mass of the dry silver crystals, 10 mL of 6M nitric acid will be added to the beaker in the fume hood. A reddish-brown gas, nitrogen dioxide, which is toxic will be formed and the crystals will dissolve. The beaker will then be left to dry under the heat lamps.

2. Determine the mass of the beaker containing silver nitrate.

Part C: Reaction of silver nitrate and sodium chloride

Balanced Equation: _________________________________________________________________

1. Add 25 mL of distilled water to the beaker of solid silver nitrate. Stir until the silver nitrate dissolves.

2. Mass out 2 grams of sodium chloride and add it to the silver nitrate solution. A white precipitate forms.

3. Place the beaker on a hot plate or ring stand and heat it until it begins to boil (do not allow the solution to boil continuously). Slowly heat the solution to boiling or until the liquid becomes clear and the precipitate has settled to the bottom of the beaker. While heating, the solution can be gently stirred occasionally.

4. Determine the mass of a piece of filter paper.

475. Fold the filter paper and place it in a long stem funnel. Support the funnel in an Erlenmeyer flask.

6. Using beaker tongs, slowly pour the mixture into the filter apparatus to filter the precipitate. Use a wash bottle to rinse any remaining precipitate onto the filter paper.

7. Wash the precipitate with distilled water and allow it to drain. Squirt a liberal amount of acetone on the precipitate and allow it to drain.

8. Using forceps, carefully remove the filter paper from the funnel and lay it flat on a watch glass. Squirt more acetone on the precipitate and filter paper. Place the watch glass in the hood under the heat lamp to dry. Put a piece of scrap paper with your name on it under the watch glass.

9. When dry, determine the mass of the filter paper with the precipitate.

General Titration Instructions

Buret Preparation:1. Obtain the buret(s) and clamp it (them) to a buret clamp attached to a ring stand.2. Open the spout of the buret. When the spout is parallel to the tip, it is open. 3. Add distilled water to the buret and allow the water to flow through the tip. This is to both rinse

the buret and to make sure that it is working properly.4. Position the buret so that the top of it is below eye level.5. Using a long stem funnel, add 5 – 10 mL of the solution to be added to the buret and allow that to

flow out.6. Close the spout and fill the buret with the solution. It is not necessary to fill it exactly to the zero

mark. Open the spout briefly to allow some of the solution to flow out of the buret to insure that there is no air in the tip.

7. If using two burets, be sure to label them.

Titration:1. Record the initial buret readings.2. Deliver a known volume (14-20mL) of one solution (the acid for this lab) to an Erlenmeyer flask

and add two drops of the indicator, phenolphthalein.3. Open the spout of the other solution (base) and begin to deliver this solution to the flask while

constantly swirling it.4. As the endpoint nears, you will notice the color changing briefly and then returning to the original

color. The closer the endpoint is, the longer the color remains. When close, the spout can be repositioned so that the solution is delivered dropwise. Continue adding the solution until the color change is permanent. The color must change due to the addition of a single drop. If more than one drop was added, add a small amount of the other solution to return it to the original color and repeat.

5. Once finished, record the final buret readings.6. A titration should be done at least three times.

Clean-Up:The burets are to be emptied of the solutions. They should be cleaned with a dilute soap solution and thoroughly rinsed. Tap water can be used for this process. Once cleaned, the burets should be rinsed with distilled water and stored upside down with the spouts open.

Analysis: Write a complete balanced equation for the reaction. Show your work for each molarity of acid calculation. Then determine the average molarity of your trials.

Determining Solution Concentration: Using a Spectrophotometer

IntroductionThe spectrophotometer is a powerful tool which can be used for colorimetric determination of

concentration. The process is based on the fact that colored ions absorb light from the visible spectrum. The greater the concentration of the ions, the greater the absorbance (A) of light.

Conversely, the more light that is absorbed by the ions in solution, the less light that is transmitted through the solution. Thus, the inverse of absorbance is percent transmittance (%T). Therefore, concentration can be measured using absorbance or percent transmittance.

To determine the concentration of a colored ion in solution, a set of carefully prepared solutions of known concentration must be first measured for absorbance or percent transmittance. The spectrophotometer should have the wavelength setting at a previously determined maximum absorbance (or %T) value for the ion in question while testing the standards. A graph plotting the absorbance (or %T) against concentration data for the standards gives a calibration curve. Then, the absorbance (or %T) can be measured for a solution of unknown concentration, then matched with the calibration curve to determine the concentration.

The cobalt ion, Co2+, concentration will be determined in this experiment and should be expressed in units of molarity. The absorption maximum (%T minimum) for Co2+ occurs at a wavelength setting of 510 nm. The percent transmittance, %T, scale will be used to produce a calibration curve.

Procedure1. Make 50.0 mL of a 0.10 M Co(NO3)2 · 6 H2O standard stock solution. Show your calculations for

this step.

2. Using the stock solution and a small graduated cylinder, prepare the solutions indicated below in test tubes labeled 1 – 5. Each solution should have a total volume of 10. mL.

Test Tube #1: 0.02 MTest Tube #2: 0.04 MTest Tube #3: 0.06 MTest Tube #4: 0.08 MTest Tube #5: 0.1 M

Show work for the dilution calculations for test tubes 1 – 4

533. Obtain 1 disposable test tube, your 5 prepared solutions, a wash bottle and a paper towel and proceed

to a spectrophotometer in the room. It is convenient to stand your prepared solutions in a beaker.

4. The spectrophotometer should be warmed up and the wavelength set to 510 nm. The device needs to be zeroed. With the sample compartment empty and closed, adjust the %T (transmittance) to 0 with the left front knob.

5. Place a disposable test tube filled with distilled water, into the sample compartment and adjust the %T to 100% T with the right front knob (this means all of the light travels through the totally clear water). Be sure to wipe all liquid and smudges off of the tubes before placing in spectrophotometer! In addition, no bubbles should be evident int eh test tube.

6. Remove the distilled water tube and empty it. Fill it approximately ¾ full with the solution in Test Tube #1. Wipe the outside of the test tube and insert it into the compartment. Record the absorbance. Repeat for Test Tubes 2–5, but be sure to rinse the disposable test tube with distilled water, then with the next prepared solution between uses. Start with the lowest concentration and work up to the highest concentration.

7. Construct a calibration graph plotting absorbance on the y-axis and molarity on the x-axis

8. Once the graph is complete, determine the absorbance for unknown A and unknown B. It will be necessary to recalibrate the machine before doing this by following procedure 4. Using your graph, determine the molarities for the two unknowns.

Conclusions

1. The actual concentrations of the unknown solutions were A = 0.075 M and B = 0.050 M. Calculate the percent error of your results for A and B.

2. Using your calibration graph, determine the absorbance of a 0.036 M and 0.072 M solution of Co2+.
