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

    Calorimetry is the measurement of the quantity of heat exchanged during chemical reactions or physical changes. For example, if the energy from an exothermic chemical reaction is absorbed in a container of water, the change in temperature of the water provides a measure of the amount of heat added.…

    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 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.…

    3.4007g of potassium phosphate was weighed and placed in 300 mL beaker. Then, 125 mL of water was added into the beaker that contained potassium phosphate. The mixture was dissolved using the stirring rod, and then the magnetic stirring bar was placed in the beaker for further dissolve when measuring the pH. The pH meter was used to measure the solution, and the data was documented at pH 4.6. This was the starting point. Next, 1M NaOH was slowly added into the buffer to make it to pH 6. Then, the buffer was transferred to a 1000 mL graduated cylinder, and 125mL of distill water was added to the buffer.…

    The unknown solution 4055 was tested by the separation scheme in order to identify the four cations that exist in it. The cations found were Ag+, Ba2+, Mn2+, and Ni2+. When I added 5 drops of 3M NaCl to the unknown solution, we had some precipitate, we centrifuge and then we divided to two test tubes, and they were put in hot water and got confirmatory tested. The Ag+ appeared to be in the solution because it melted, however Pb2+ didn’t. With the rest of the solution we added Na2SO4 we had precipitate which means I had Ba2+and we centrifuge it to do confirmatory test by adding K2CiO4 and the result was the precipitate was yellow. After then I added 3M of NH3 to raise the pH to 5, and there was no precipitate which means Fe3+ and Al3+ didn’t exist in the solution. The last two unknowns were tested by raising the pH to 8 by adding 15M NH3 there was a precipitate which it should be Mn, after centrifuging it and adding 6M of HNO3 it was tested with…

    Measurement is the process of determining an unknown quantity by comparing it to a known standard. Such process would require proper observations of needed procedures in order to ascertain the accuracy and integrity of the measured quantities. In this experiment, the densities of several solid and liquid samples were determined as an exercise in measurement. Density is the measure of compactness of a substance which is mathematically expressed as the ratio of mass with volume. Density is an inherent property of pure substance, which means that it is constant at a specific temperature. It is also an intensive property, which means that it does not vary with the amount of the substance at hand. It is therefore useful…
