Stoichiometry Lab
PR OCEDURE
Before beginning, set up a data table similar to the Data Table: Experiment Results in the Lab
Report Assistant section.
This experiment will create a reaction of sodium carbonate and calcium chloride dihydrate to produce a precipitate of calcium carbonate. This formula is:
Na2CO3(aq) + CaCl2. 2H2O(aq) à CaCO3(s) + 2NaCl(aq) + 2H2O
1. Put on your goggles.
2. Weigh out 1.0 g of CaCl2·2H2O and put it into the 100-mL beaker. Add 25 mL of distilled water and stir to form the calcium chloride solution. Use only distilled water since tap water may have impurities that interfere with the experiment.
3. Use stoichiometry to determine how much Na2CO3 you will need for a full reaction.
4. Weigh the calculated amount of Na2CO3 and put it in a small paper cup. Add 25 mL of distilled water and stir to make a sodium carbonate solution.
5. Pour the sodium carbonate solution from the paper cup into the beaker with the calcium chloride solution. A precipitate of calcium carbonate will form instantly.
6. Use the following instructions to set up a filtration assembly.
Figure 1:
●● Set a small paper cup inside a slightly larger coffee cup or similar to give the paper cup support and prevent it from tipping over when you add a funnel.
●● Fold a sheet of filter paper in half and then in half again as illustrated. Weigh it.
●● Open one section of the folded filter paper as shown in the bottom illustration.
●● Place the opened filter paper into the funnel and the funnel into the paper cup supported by the coffee cup. www.LabPaq.com 116 ©Hands-On Labs, Inc.
Experiment Stoichiometry of a Precipitation Reaction
7. Swirl the contents of the beaker to dislodge any precipitate from the sides. Then, while holding the filter paper in place and open, slowly pour the content of the beaker into the filter paperlined funnel. Be careful to not let the solution overflow the level of the filter paper while pouring. 8. Measure out 2 to 5 mL of distilled water into

    Initially it was calculated that 0.68 g of CaCO3 was needed for a full reaction. The net mass of Na2CO3 (reactant) was 0.72 g and the net mass of CaCO3 was 0.5 g. I was able to use the graduated cylinder to measure the 25ml of distilled water, before pouring it into the beak and inside the beaker was a 1.0g of…

    In this practical the aim was to determine the concentration of Na2CO3 in a standard solution, by using Hydrochloric acid to neutralise it. This experiment involved using distilled water to dissolve the sodium carbonate until 250 ml of solution were made. I had to calculate, from the information provided, how much sodium carbonate to use in the making of the solution. Using the volume and concentration of the solution, I was able to calculate the moles of the solution (concentration x volume). Using the periodic table I was able to calculate the molar mass of sodium carbonate which was 106, from this I could calculate the mass of the sodium carbonate I needed to make the solution (moles x Mr).…

    Separation of Mixtures

    * Introduction: A compound is a pure chemical substance consisting of two or more different chemical elements that can be separated into simpler substances by chemical reactions. Unlike a compound, a mixture is a material system made up by two or more different substances which are mixed together but are not combined chemically. There are two kinds of mixtures, homogeneous and heterogeneous. Homogeneous mixtures have the same composition and appearance throughout, while heterogeneous mixtures consist of visibly different parts. The purpose of this experiment is to create and separate a heterogeneous mixture consisting of sawdust, sand, beads, salt, and water. The hypothesis of this experiment is that the materials can be separated back into their original forms with the same masses.…
