LabPaq - Properties of gases

General Chemistry

Introduction
Background

This report covers Properties of Gases and will allow me the opportunity to explore chemical and physical properties of gases. Collection and use of these gases will also be conducted in this lab.

Statement of
Problem

Collecting gases is a difficult process. Singling out a gas and obtaining only that gas is the challenge we face in this experiment.

Purpose of
Experiment

The purpose of this experiment is use water, chemicals and metals along with collection tubes to extract a single gas and to store it. Then to use only that gas and see how it responds to other testing.

Hypothesis

If the gases are correctly singled out and collected properly. We should be able to observe changes when the gases are introduced to heat or fire.

Experiment

Test tubes will be used to single out gases from two forms of metals along with an acid and hydrogen peroxide. Baking soda, vinegar, alka seltzer, bromthymol blue and limewater will also be used to observe the properties of gases.

General Chemistry

Analysis
Error and
Trends

When attempting to mix the Hydrogen and Oxygen together. I may have lost a small amount of hydrogen as I lifted the bulb filled with 2/3 hydrogen from the 24-well plate. I did not receive a reaction when I squeezed the bulb of hydrogen oxygen onto the flame.

Hypothesis
Conclusion

It was challenging using my thumb to try and hold the gases in their pipet bulbs. I repeated a few of the experiments to make sure I received the same results and feel fairly confident that I obtained the results that were expected.

Practical
Applications

Parts of this experiment used household items to collect data from. Learning the gas properties these household items contain is invaluable.

    A 600 ml beaker was approximately half filled with water. A test tube was completely filled with water. Test tube was covered with thumb and was turned upside down under water in the beaker. Tweezers were used to drop one piece of calcium carbide into the beaker and was quickly covered with the test tube to collect any gas produced. When the test tube was half full of gas, the test tube was lifted out of the water and the inverted test tube was set on the lab bench. The procedure was repeated for 1/3 gas, 1/4 gas and 1/8 gas.…

    First we will set up the experiment as shown in Figure 2, and then we will fill the trough with room temperature water and record the temperature and we will also add the room temperature water to the buret until it is about 10ml from the top. If there are no leaks in the apparatus, we will add 10ml of KI to 15ml of distilled water in a 125ml flask. We will swirl the flask so that it achieves room temperature, then we will add 5ml of H2O2 and quickly stopper the flask. While one student continues to swirl the flask, the other should observe the volume of oxygen produced, after 2ml of gas has been evolved. The recordings should be written down at 2ml intervals until 14ml of oxygen has been evolved. Next, we will repeat the experiment (making sure everything is the same, including the temperature of the bath water) by adding 10ml of KI and 10ml of H2O2 (after swirling the flask), then quickly stoppering the flask and measuring the readings. This will all be repeated again for a third time by adding 20ml of KI and 5ml of distilled water, swirling and then adding 5ml of H2O2.…
