    Figure 1: Titration curve of 0.160 grams of an unknown diprotic acid that was dissociated in distilled water. Shown is the pH versus the volume in milliliters of 0.1 M NaOH, a strong base, added to the solution. The initial pH reading of the solution was a pH of 2.60. Although the pH of the ½ equivalence point was unknown, it could be estimated by halving the volume of NaOH used at the first equivalence point. At the first equivalence point, 13.63 milliliters of NaOH had been added to the unknown acid solution.…

    With my test result, it clearly shows that the concentration of sulfuric acid is 0.05 mol/dm3 using the concentration equation, c= n/v. 25 cm3 of the volume with sodium hydroxide is equal to 0.025 dm3 by dividing a thousand with cm 3 and multiply it with 0.1 mol/ dm3 which is the concentration of sodium hydroxide. With the ratio between sulfuric acid and sodium hydroxide is 1 to 2 so, 0.0025 should be divided by 2 and 0.00125 moles of sulfuric acid is come out. Finally, using c = m/v, 0.00125 mole/0.025 dm3 and the answer for concentration of the acid is 0.05 mole/ dm3We started our experiment with the initial volume of 0 cm3 in four trial and all of the trials ended up with the final volume of 25.00cm3 All four indicators with phenolphthalein…

    To begin the experiment, the unknown needs to be determined as an acid or a base by using litmus paper or a pH strip. For the rest of the experiment, if the substance is being handled, gloves and goggles must be worn. Use a clean and dry Erlenmeyer flask and weigh it. Then, some of the unknown will be measured and poured into the flask. Also way the flask and the unknown.…

    Class average for a 80 and 120 drop count was recorded to be 0.041+/- 0.005 mL/drop. If a graduated cylinder is not available there is another way of adding more of the solution. The disposable pipet can transfer 0.5mL of the solution to the chemical reaction. When comparing a 10mL graduated cylinder, a 100mL beaker, and a 50mL graduated cylinder, the most precision peace of glass wear would be the 10 mL graduated cylinder with the true volume of water (calculated), class average, and uncertainties being 9.7896 +/- 0.05mL. The 50mL graduated cylinder comes in second place with a true volume of water(calculated), class average, and uncertainties being 50.0001 +/- 0.22mL. The third peace of glassware coming in as the least accurate would be the 100 mL beaker with a true volume of water(calculated), class average, and uncertainties being 59.9999 +/- 0.82mL.…

    Your teacher will demonstrate for the class the reaction of metallic copper with concentrated nitric acid, HNO3. This must be done in the fume hood. (Caution: Avoid breathing poisonous gases. Avoid contact of skin with nitric acid. It burns skin and clothing.) One student will be asked to feel the side of the demonstration beaker and report to the group. The products formed are copper(II) nitrate solution, Cu(NO3)2(aq), and nitrogen dioxide gas, NO2(g).…

    In the first week of the experiment, the goal was to find the moles of NaOH, as well as a 0.1 molarity, while in the second week to goal was to determine the percent KPH in the sample. The first week titrations were successful and had very similar amounts of pink, which shows the precision of the results. The best trials were in the sample trial and the second and third trials. The average molarity calculated for the first week was 0.1017 M. This very close to the 0.1 M that was supposed to be made.…

    In the first process of the lab, you measure the mass of water transferred from a buret to a beaker, to determine the experimental mass of the water, and the volume of the water collected. We measured the temperature of the water so we could calculate the density of the water, which enabled us to calculate the actual volume of water, by using the density and the measured volume of water. To determine the percent error, we had to subtract the actual volume of water by the experimental volume of water transferred from the buret to the beaker, and then divided it by the actual volume and multiplied it by 100. In the second process, you perform the same steps you did for the buret, but instead, you use a 5.00mL or 10.00mL pipet. You repeated each…

    6.03 Calorimetry

    In order to describe the molar volume of pure water the equation V_3=M_3⁄ρ_(3 ) is used, whereas those of sodium nitrate and the polyether compound poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) are shown by V_1=V_(∅_1)^∞and V_1= V_(∅_2)^∞. In these two equations, V_(∅_1)^∞ and V_(∅_2)^∞ which are the apparent molar volumes at infinite dilution of sodium nitrate and poly(ethylene glycol), must be computed on the basis of data on apparent molal volume (V_∅). The following equation shows the relation of the V_∅ of a binary solution with density, Equation 1…

    One of the wonders of this planet is water. Water makes up 65% of humans, and 70% of the Earth. It is also common knowledge that humans cannot survive three days without it. Water is essential. If almost three-fourths of Earth is made up of water, why are there still so many people in the world suffering from a lack of it?…

    In this green chemistry experiment of 5,10,15,20-tetraphenylporphyrin was synthesized from benzaldehyde and pyrrole. using microwave irradiation to heat the reactants., The liquid reactants are absorbed on a solid support, silica gel, which acts as a Lewis acid catalyst to facilitate the reaction. The reaction forms a porphyrinogen, which is then oxidized to the porphyrin product by atmospheric oxygen. Column chromatography is performed for the isolation and purification of tetraphenlyporphin, and the thin layer chromatography for analysis.It was concluded that the renention factor(Rf) of the 5,10,15,20- Tetraphenylporphyrin with a percent yield of 61%…

    The amount of heat needed to increase the temperature of an object exactly 1°C is the heat capacity of that object. The specific heat capacity of a substance is then the amount of heat it takes to raise the temperature of 1g of the substance1°C. Caliometry is the precise measurement of the heat flow into or out of a system for chemical and physical processes. Heat flow is measured in two common units, the calorie and the Joule. 1 calorie= 1 kilocalorie = 1000 calories. A calorimeter is the device used to measure the absorption or release of heat. In this lab, the water in aluminum can “calorimeter” gains the heat lost during the combustion of a Cheeto.…
