68th and Zinc Prasenjit Saha Chem lab 106 3/24/13 Spring 2014 Prasenjit Saha, Abdullah Sharif, Scott Wong I. Warmup Exercise 1: 1. 2.56g ZnI2/319.22 g ZnI2 .00802 mol ZnI2 2. .00802mol/0.500L0.0161 3.On the label of the flask I would write 0.0161 ZnI2/L Solution Exercise 2: Student 1: 0.43 g of ZnI2/319.22 g ZnI2 .001347mol ZnI2 .001347molZnI2/.0161M.084L84ml Student 2: .0005 mol ZnI2/ 0.0161M .031L31ml Exercise 3: a. 2.56 g ZnI2/500 mL b. 0.00512 g ZnI2/ml * 500ml = 2.56g ZnI2 c. 0.00806 moles of ZnI2/500 ml* 319.9 g ZnI2= 2.56 g ZnI2 d. 0.00806 moles of Zn/.5 L * 319.9g ZnI2= 2.56g ZnI2 *note:500 mL =0.5 L e. (0.0161M of ZnI2 * .5L) * 319.9g…show more content…
Focus questions 1. What is the Percent Zinc of Zinc Iodide as determined by a Titrimetric analysis? Using the Zinc Iodide (elemental synthesis), we found the percent zinc to be 21.94%. Using the Zinc Iodide (standard synthesis), we found the percent zinc to be 21.87%. This averages to 21.9% zinc. 2. What is the Percent Zinc of the Unknown Zinc Salt as determined by a Titrimetric analysis? The percent zinc of the unknown zinc salt was determined to be 43.68% IV. Procedure 1. Begin to prepare an EDTA solution.  Weigh out 3.62-3.64 g of NaH2EDTA and record exact mass. Add the weighed amount to a 250 ml volumetric funnel carefully using a funnel  Wash the funnel with water to ensure all of the solid is delivered to the flask  Add 100-200 ml of water and mix. Enough water should be added so that the flask is full to the 250 ml mark  Tightly wrap the top of the flask with a Parafilm when finished 2. Set up the titration apparatus 3. Fill a dry 50 ml buret with EDTA solution using a small…show more content…
Add 10 ml of ph 10 buffer to the same Erienmeyer flask. Start swirling immediately to dissolve, 7. Add 15 ml of water next. Use a squeeze bottle so you can wash the inside walls of the flask. 8. Add 10 drops of Calmagite using an eye dropper 9. Record the initial buret volume and conduct a practice titration to find the endpoint. Stop titration when the red solution turns blue. 10. If more EDTA is needed, make a new concentration using a new 250 ml volumentric flask. In addition, make sure to rinse the Erlenmeyer flask thoroughly with water with each new trial. Don’t forget to dry it before proceeding. 11. Calculate the % zinc in the sample of zinc iodide by taking the average of all the trials. Compare your values with your peers before continuing. 12. Weigh out .15-.16 g of the unknown zinc compound and record exact mass. Transfer it to a dry 125 ml Erlenmeyer flask 13. Conduct a titration and calculate the percent zinc (average of all the trials conducted). V. Post lab questions 1. What is the theoretical percent zinc in a sample of zinc iodide? 65.39 g Zn/(253.8 g I2+65.39g Zn) *10020.49 % zinc 2. How does your percent zinc in a sample of zinc iodide you analyzed in lab compare with theoretical
