Calorimetric Analysis Lab
Two metal bars of an unknown identity were obtained, each bar was understood to have varying masses and volumes. The metal bars were then measured for their masses, bar one was measured at 19.3221g and bar 2 was measured at 15.6225g respectively. A graduated cylinder of 10 or 25 milliliters was obtained, in our testings, the 10 milliliters was used. Water was introduced into the graduated cylinder and the initial volume recorded at 4.9mL for bar one, and for bar two the cylinder was recorded to have an initial volume of 3.9mL. After each volume was measured, each bar was dropped into the cylinder. Bar one experienced a change of 2.2mL and bar two experienced a change of 1.8mL. The second section of the experiment dealt with finding the density of an unknown liquid. …show more content…
We measured its relative mass and recorded in our lab notebook. The liquid was consequently poured into the cylinder and the volume measured. To finish off the experiment, section three was conducted in order to compare samples of known liquids. Samples of olive oil, isopropyl, and water were obtained. Test tubes were dried and ready for samples to be placed in each. First, we placed olive oil in with isopropyl, we then saw that isopropyl was clearly above the olive oil. Next, we placed olive oil in with water and saw that olive oil was clearly above the water. Finally, we placed water in with isopropyl and saw that the isopropyl was above the water. With this section, we completed our experiment and cleaned the materials used and put them

    In this lab, we dissolved a calcium-enriched tablet and participate the calcium ion as calcium carbonate. Our purpose is to determine the masses of calcium carbonate and calcium ion, to determine the mass percent of calcium ion in the tablet and to compare the masses and the percent with the listed tablet ingredients. This time we used a 150mL beaker, analytical balance, forceps, a 50mL graduated cylinder, a glass rod, beaker tongs, a hot plate, two 16 x 125-mm test tubes, centrifuge, a medicine dropper, a filter paper, a filter funnel, a 250-mL Erlenmeyer flask, a watch glass, a drying oven, a spatula and a red litmus paper. The chemicals we need were 20mL of 2.0M HCl, a calcium-enriched tablet and 25mL of 1.0M Na2CO3 solution.…

    Figure 1: Titration curve of 0.160 grams of an unknown diprotic acid that was dissociated in distilled water. Shown is the pH versus the volume in milliliters of 0.1 M NaOH, a strong base, added to the solution. The initial pH reading of the solution was a pH of 2.60. Although the pH of the ½ equivalence point was unknown, it could be estimated by halving the volume of NaOH used at the first equivalence point. At the first equivalence point, 13.63 milliliters of NaOH had been added to the unknown acid solution.…

    Class average for a 80 and 120 drop count was recorded to be 0.041+/- 0.005 mL/drop. If a graduated cylinder is not available there is another way of adding more of the solution. The disposable pipet can transfer 0.5mL of the solution to the chemical reaction. When comparing a 10mL graduated cylinder, a 100mL beaker, and a 50mL graduated cylinder, the most precision peace of glass wear would be the 10 mL graduated cylinder with the true volume of water (calculated), class average, and uncertainties being 9.7896 +/- 0.05mL. The 50mL graduated cylinder comes in second place with a true volume of water(calculated), class average, and uncertainties being 50.0001 +/- 0.22mL. The third peace of glassware coming in as the least accurate would be the 100 mL beaker with a true volume of water(calculated), class average, and uncertainties being 59.9999 +/- 0.82mL.…

    Your teacher will demonstrate for the class the reaction of metallic copper with concentrated nitric acid, HNO3. This must be done in the fume hood. (Caution: Avoid breathing poisonous gases. Avoid contact of skin with nitric acid. It burns skin and clothing.) One student will be asked to feel the side of the demonstration beaker and report to the group. The products formed are copper(II) nitrate solution, Cu(NO3)2(aq), and nitrogen dioxide gas, NO2(g).…

    Start off by weighing two paracetamol tablets using some accurate scales. Record the mass down (1.15g). This had to be as accurate and precise as we could get it so we had the correct weight to start the experiment. Without this then the results we found at the end would not be accurate. A problem that could be faced with this is that the scales may not have been fully set to zero. Also it takes time for it to fully reach its weight on the reading so you may move them too quick before the right weight has been set.…

    In order to describe the molar volume of pure water the equation V_3=M_3⁄ρ_(3 ) is used, whereas those of sodium nitrate and the polyether compound poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) are shown by V_1=V_(∅_1)^∞and V_1= V_(∅_2)^∞. In these two equations, V_(∅_1)^∞ and V_(∅_2)^∞ which are the apparent molar volumes at infinite dilution of sodium nitrate and poly(ethylene glycol), must be computed on the basis of data on apparent molal volume (V_∅). The following equation shows the relation of the V_∅ of a binary solution with density, Equation 1…

    In the first process of the lab, you measure the mass of water transferred from a buret to a beaker, to determine the experimental mass of the water, and the volume of the water collected. We measured the temperature of the water so we could calculate the density of the water, which enabled us to calculate the actual volume of water, by using the density and the measured volume of water. To determine the percent error, we had to subtract the actual volume of water by the experimental volume of water transferred from the buret to the beaker, and then divided it by the actual volume and multiplied it by 100. In the second process, you perform the same steps you did for the buret, but instead, you use a 5.00mL or 10.00mL pipet. You repeated each…
