Objectives: The purpose of this lab is to observe the reaction of crystal violet and sodium hydroxide by looking at the relationship between concentration and time elapsed of the crystal violet. CV+ + OH- CVOH To quantitatively observe this reaction of crystal violet, the rate law is used. The rate law tells us that the rate is equal to a rate constant (k) multiplied by the concentration of crystal violet to the power of its reaction order ([CV+]p) and the concentration of hydroxide to the power of its reaction order ([OH-]q). Rate = k[CV+]p[OH-]q To fully understand the rate law, concentrations of the substances must be looked at first. The concentration is measured in molarity.
I. Introduction Calorimetry is a used to determine the amount of heat transfer in a chemical reaction. It can measure one of two things: the amount of heat that is absorbed (in an endothermic process) or the amount that is gained (in an exothermic process). To conclude the calorimetry of a substance, the equation below is used: Eq. 1 q= Cs x g x T Q represents heat.
In order to find the equivalent weight a titration of the unknown acid had to be conducted. Equivalent weight is the weight of the substance in grams divided by the average molarity of the sodium hydroxide solution times the volume from the titration in liters. If the molarity of your sodium hydroxide solution were too low then the equivalent weight would be off significantly. In order to calculate a decent molarity a short series of titrating was conducted using KHP. Find the molarity is essential to numerous amounts of future procedures such as equivalent weigh.
Distillation is used to purify a compound by separating it from a non-volatile or less-volatile material. When different compounds in a mixture have different boiling points, they separate into individual components when the mixture is carefully distilled. The boiling point is the temperature at which the vapor pressure of the liquid phase of a compound equals the external pressure acting on the surface of the liquid. The external pressure is usually the atmospheric pressure. Different compounds boil at different temperatures because each has a different, characteristic vapor pressure: compounds with higher vapor pressures will boil at lower temperatures.
Therefore, according to Hess’s law, the heat of reaction of the one reaction should be equal to the sum of the heats of reaction for the other two. This concept is sometimes referred to as the additivity of heats of reaction. The primary objective of this experiment is to confirm this law. The reactions we will use in this experiment are: 18 - 1 Computer 18 You will use a Styrofoam cup in a beaker as a calorimeter, as shown in Figure 1. For purposes of this experiment, you may assume that the heat loss to the calorimeter and the surrounding air is negligible.
Hydrate Lab The purpose of this lab is to analyze the percent water in a crystalline hydrate and to indentify the hydrate from a list of possible unknowns. The solid hydrate will be heated to remove the water, and the percent can be found by measuring the mass of the solid before and after heating. The hydrate will be indentified by comparing the percent water in the hydrate with the percent water calculated for the possible unknown. Before the lab there are pre-lab questions: 1. Describe the three general safety rules for working with a Bunsen burner.
How do these two freezing points compare? C. What are some practical applications of freezing point depression, boiling point elevation, and vapor pressure lowering? Questions - Part 2 A. To what biological structure is the dialysis bag comparable? How is it
Therefore the alkalinity of water samples is being calculated. In the second approach, the two volume readings for the respective amounts of sulfuric acid used are being determined an indicator based method. Congo red and bromocresol green are being used as the indicators. Procedure (Outline provided as pre-lab): A. The pH meter was calibrated using standard pH solutions provided.
How do you go from calculated/measured values to accomplishing stated purpose? (4 pts) The purpose of this lab is to determine the exact concentration of an unknown acetic acid solution. Titrations for two different reactions will be performed. Controlled volumes of one reagent are added to a flask containing the other reagent until the equivalence point of the reaction is reached, one between sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and potassium hydrogen phthalate (KHP) and the other between NaOH and acetic acid (CH3COOH). NaOH (aq) + KHP (aq) —› Na+ (aq) + K + (aq) + P2- (aq) + H2O (l) NaOH (aq) + CH3COOH (aq) —› Na+ (aq) + CH3COO- (aq) + H2O (l) The titration of NaOH with KHP will identify the concentration of the NaOH provided.
The purpose of this lab was to find the molecular weight of two unknown substances by analyzing the freezing points in cyclohexane and to provide a visual representation of the freezing point depression effect. The theory of this lab is; by using measurements of mass of the unknown substances (solute) in correlation with the mass of the cyclohexane (solvent) and the freezing point constant of the solvent, you could determine the molecular weight of the solute by using the same math involved in deciding the freezing point of the solution/ The theory behind the visual of the FPD effect is that if one was to record the freezing point of a solution and two solutions of the same substances with more solute, one would see a visible drop in freezing point. The equations you needed for this lab were the freezing point formula for organic substances (ΔFp=(m)Kf) and the
