Chemistry 121 Colligative Properties Lab Demonstration of Selected Calculations from Choice I Determination of Kf for Naphthalene To determine the Kf for naphthalene‚ we need to find the difference in the freezing point of pure naphthalene and the solution of 1‚4-dichlorobenzene in naphthalene. Let’s say that we did this experiment‚ used 1.00 g 1‚4-dichlorobenzene in 10.00 g naphthalene‚ and found that the freezing temperature of pure naphthalene was 78.2°C‚ while that of the solution was 75

Introduction The purpose of this experiment is to synthesize methyl nitrobenzoate from methyl benzoate‚ concentrated HNO3‚ and concentrated H2SO4 via an electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction. Reaction Procedures/ Observations Use a 50 ml beaker to cool about 6 ml of concentrated sulfuric acid in an ice water bath. Weigh the vial containing about 3 grams of methyl benzoate and add it to the cooled sulfuric acid. Next pour about 2 ml of sulfuric acid to the nitric acid in the vial

October 13‚ 2012 Needle through a Balloon Pre-Lab Preparations: Purpose: The purpose of this experiment is to see if the balloon pops when pierced with a wooden skewer or a sharp pin. Hypothesis: If we lubricate the skewer with petroleum jelly‚ then it should go through the balloon without popping. Hypothesis for the 2nd part of the Lab: If we cover the side of the balloon with cellophane tape‚ then it will not pop when pierced with the pin. Materials: • Balloons • Long wooden
