Solubility Product Of Calcium Hydroxide Lab Report
Experiment 10: Solubility Product for Calcium Hydroxide
GOAL AND OVERVIEW A saturated solution of Ca(OH)2 will be made by reacting calcium metal with water, then filtering off the solids: Ca(s) + H2O → Ca(OH)2(s) Ca2+(aq) + 2OH-(aq) The concentration of dissolved hydroxide will be determined by acid-base titration with standardized HCl solution. The Ksp for Ca(OH)2 will be calculated from the experimentally determined saturation concentration of hydroxide. Objectives of the data analysis understand solubility equilibria, acid-base neutralization, and the chemistry of lime (Ca(OH)2), limewater, and calcium carbonate (called limestone when occurring naturally as a mineral) manipulate equations for saturation equilibria, acid-base titrations, …show more content…
The equilibrium constant for the reaction is the solubility product constant, Ksp, given by Ksp = [Ca2+][OH-]2 (2) The concentration of Ca(OH)2(s) does not appear the equilibrium constant expression because it is always present as the pure solid (constant concentration, or amount per …show more content…
How, if at all, would it have affected the results if you did the experiment without filtering out the solid Ca(OH)2 that was present in the vessel? 2. A saturated solution of AB3 was titrated to determine the Ksp for AB3. AB3 has the following dissociation equilibrium: AB3(s) A3+(aq) + 3B-(aq). By titration, it was determined that 0.0013 moles of B- was present in 100 ml of the filtered saturated solution. What is the Ksp for AB3? Would you consider AB3 to be a soluble or insoluble compound? 3. How did the acid titration allow you to determine the solubility constant in this experiment (hint: What information does acid/base titrations give you?) 4. Why will it skew your results if you wash the precipitate after filtring of the calcium hydroxide? 5. The Ksp for Fe(OH)3 = 2.5x10-20. Write down the Ksp equation in terms of Fe3+ and OH- concentrations. Second, given 5.0×10-5M HCl, how many mL acid would you need in order to neutralize a 30. mL aliquot of the saturated Fe(OH)3 solution? 6. Will a very soluble solid have a large or small Ksp? Explain. 7. How is ‘saturation’ of a given ion related to ‘solubility’ of a given

    Abstract: The purpose of the lab, Stoichiometry of a Precipitation Reaction, is to be able to calculate the amount of a second reactant we need to react with the reactant one. You must calculate the amount of the second reactant using stoichiometry to figure out what amount is needed. After the amount is calculated, you then can add it to the first reactant and it will give you a full reaction. To figure out what you need you have to use stoichiometry. My calculation for the second reactant was: 1.0g CaCl2*2H2O(1mol CaCl2*2H­2O/147g CaCl2*2H2O)(1mol Na2CO3/1mol CaCl2*2H2O)(106g Na2CO3/1mol Na2CO3) = 0.72g Na2CO3. The final, when its dried in the paper filtered weighed at 1.6 grams.…

    Studying the pH of Strong Acid, Weak Acid, Salt, and Buffer Solutions

    The purpose of the current experiment was to determine the pH of various hydrochloric acid and acetic acid solutions, to determine the pH of various salt solutions, to prepare a buffer solution, and determine the effects of adding a strong acid and strong base to the buffer solution versus adding a strong acid and strong base to water. The measured pHs for the hydrochloric acid solutions were 1.6, 2.2, 2.9, and 3.8. The measured pHs for the acetic acid solutions were 2.9, 3.9, 4.2, and 4.4. The pHs measured for the salts were 4.3 for sodium chloride, 7.3 for sodium acetate, 8.9 for sodium bicarbonate, 10.8 for sodium carbonate, 7.9 for ammonium chloride, and 6.9 for ammonium acetate. The pH for the buffer solution and the strong acid was 3.9 and the pH for the buffer solution and the strong base was 11.6. The pH of water with the strong acid added was 3.44 and the pH of water with the strong base added was 13.4…

    Sacramento Tap Water Lab Report

    Sacramento tap water reveals ion concentrations of various different dissolved minerals such as calcium (Ca2+) and magnesium (Mg2+). These concentrations are a result of mineral deposits in local lakes and rivers. Perma Pure, a gas conditioning products manufacturing company, simplifies the mechanism of ion exchange by explaining that water is a solvent that dissolves most ionic bonds when exposed to compounds ("The Mechanism of Ion Exchange"). Therefore, as tap water passes through rocks it will pick up several different minerals resulting in hard water. As reported by the USGS water science school, calcium carbonate concentrations from 0 to 60 parts per million (ppm) are considered soft, while 61 to 120 ppm is medium, and anything past 121 ppm is classified as hard water (Perlman). In this experiment, a sample of Sacramento tap water was tested for its ion concentrations of Ca2+, Mg2+, chloride (Cl-), nitrate (NO3-), and sulfate (SO42-), which will give insight on potential negative and positive effects of using the tap water. If the concentrations of…

    Solubility Lab

    For part A of the procedure we worked with the solubility of solid compounds in various solvents. The three solid compounds that were worked with during this procedure were benzophenone, malonic acid, and biphenyl. These three solids were then mixed with water (highly polar), methyl alcohol (intermediately polar), and hexanes (nonpolar). When benzophenone is mixed with water the results turned out to be insoluble because benzophenone is a pure hydrocarbon, which are very insoluble in water. When benzophenone was mixed with methyl alcohol, it was soluble because Methanol can hydrogen bond to the carbonyl oxygen of benzophenone. When benzophenone was added to hexanes it was partially soluble because “likes dissolve likes” benzophenone is polar and hexane in non polar. When the next compound, malonic acid was combined with water and with methyl alcohol it turned out to be soluble in both cases. However when malonic acid was combined with hexanes it was in soluble because Malonic acid is polar where as hexane is nonpolar. When the final compound, biphenyl was added to water it was insoluble because biphenyl is a non-polar molecule. Biphenyl was partially soluble when it was added to methyl alcohol but when hexane is added it is soluble because both are non-polar and "likes dissolves likes". For part B of the procedure we worked with the solubility of various alcohols in water and hexane. The three alcohols we used were 1-octanol, 1-butanol, and methyl alcohol. When 1-octanol was added to water it is insoluble because the longer the carbon chain, the more water is repelled. However when 1-octanol was added to hexane it was soluble because it is a polar molecule being that it is an alcohol. When 1-butanol is added to water it is partially soluble because 1-butanol slightly polar. Which means that it was soluble in hexane. When methyl alcohol was added to water it was…

    Two Unknown Substances

    Two Unknown Substances

    Since an acid + carbonate Salt + water + Carbon Dioxide, and lime water (Calcium Hydroxide) precipitates to Calcium carbonate when exposed to CO2, then if the unknown substance is placed in Hydrochloric acid and the captured gas causes precipitation (precipitation in ionic compounds generally form if the opposite charged electrons of two substances are attached, hence those with same charges do not form precipitate) in the lime water, it must contain carbon. The only carbon ions that result in precipitate in Calcium Hydroxide are Carbonate ions (CO3-2) which react with the calcium ions (Ca+2) to form the precipitate. Hence, the identification of a carbonate concluded to being the case, as after testing the experiment twice with different masses the results were very similar (hence being reliable) and supportive of the confirmation (they both created precipitation). To further conclude the identity of the 2nd unknown substance a second step was done, which was a pH test through the use of the universal indicator (measures pH by containing various indicators that respond differently to Hydrogen ions). A controlled test was done to ensure the pH scale was correct, and once the two concentrations were placed into the diluted indicator (through water) a distinct purple was achieved. This points closely towards either Sodium or Potassium carbonate, as they fall into the distinct purple colour. However, this test proves to be somewhat invalid as the addition of water into the Universal indicator could have resulted in a chemical reaction occurring with the unknown compound, hence changing the possible pH. To finally conclude what the unknown substance’s identity was, a flame test was conducted to see what colour the substance would create. The flame test creates different colours due to the movement of electrons in the metal ions…
