Observations from data collected: Overall through the range of data from 0.000 to 0.180 there was a small range most of the outcomes were the same and consistant, the only outlier of the data was the no alcohol mouthwash which ranged from 0.178 to o.503 showing that either during the lab there was a technical error made or it had a lot of alcohol concentration.
Calculations made in lab:
Concentration of ethanol solution: 96%
Density: 0.78g/ml m/m% = mass of solute * 100/ mass of solution
C1*V1 = C2V2
Convert from percentage to molarity
Find equation
Calibration curve find unkown values
Example of doing this:
Density of solution: mass of solution/volume of solution
Concentration of ethanol: mass of solute/mass of solution *100
Table two: concentrations; the molarities substance Concentration of try one Concentration of try 2 Averga concentration
4 ml of water, 0 ml of ethanol 0.000 0.000 0.000
3ml of water, 1 ml of ethanol 0.830 0.830 0.830
2ml of water, 2ml of ethanol 1.650 1.650 1.650

    Obtain and wear goggles. 2. Measure and record the mass of a clean, dry crucible without cover. Obtain about 1 g of the unknown copper chloride hydrate and place it in the crucible. Use a spatula to break up any large pieces of the substance by pressing the pieces against the wall of the crucible. Measure and record the mass of the crucible with compound. 3. Set up a ring stand, ring, and clay triangle for heating the sample. Rest the crucible on the clay triangle. Set up a lab burner and ignite the burner away from the crucible. Adjust the burner to get a small flame. 4. Hold the burner in your hand and move the flame slowly back and forth underneath the crucible to gently heat the sample. Do not overheat the compound. Note the color change, from blue-green to brownish, as the water of hydration is driven out of the crystals. When the sample has turned brown, gently heat the crucible for two more minutes. 5. Remove and turn off the burner. Cover the crucible and allow the sample to cool for about ten minutes. 6. Remove the crucible cover and inspect your sample. If you see any blue-green crystals, reheat the sample until the crystals have turned brown. 7. Measure and record the mass of the cool crucible of your copper chloride sample. 8. Transfer the brown solid to a clean and empty 50 mL beaker. Rinse out the crucible with two 8 mL aliquots of distilled water and pour the water into the 50 mL beaker. Gently swirl the beaker to completely dissolve the solid. Note that the color of the solution is green as the copper ions are rehydrated. 9. Measure out about 20 cm of aluminum wire, coil the wire, and place the wire in the beaker of solution so that it is completely immersed in the copper chloride solution. Note that the reaction produces a gas, elemental copper is forming on the surface of the aluminum wire, and the color of the solution is fading. The reaction will take about 30 minutes to complete. 10. When the reaction is done, the solution will be colorless.…

    The patterns of distribution related to rock pocket mice coat color is primarily focused on the genetic variation regarding the fur color of the mice. The population of mice that possess a lighter fur color typically live in regions that contain light coloured rocks within the environment. Still, mice that have a darkened color fur will most often be found in areas in which the environment is surrounded by volcanos with lava flow. The common pattern of the coat color between the rock pocket mice show a correlation with the terrain color, in which there is an adaptive mechanism against predators, which increases the chances of survival.…

    Abstract: This experiment was conducted in order to discover the Kc, equilibrium constant, of a hydrolysis reaction of an unknown ester #2, unknown acid, and alcohol #2 products. The first week consisted of creating the reaction mixtures in bottles, next was preparing a NaOH solution while neutralizing with KHP. The final week consisted of titrating the bottles with the NaOH solution prepared previously. After calculations the Kc average was equivalent to 0.1031…

    This experiment was performed to show and explain osmosis. Osmosis is the diffusion of water molecules in a cell through a transportable membrane. The question researched was to find how alcohol affects the water content in cells. When fluids enter the human body, the liquid travels through the bloodstream to the cells providing them with energy. However, when alcohol enters the bloodstream, osmosis causes the water molecules inside of the cell to diffuse to the outside of the cell-due to certain contents within the…
