Chemistry 1212K Lab Synthesis Report

Introduction In this Chemistry Lab the main objective is to perform accurate chemical analysis for the quantity of elements and compounds in a sample. There will be a compound made then synthesized. The methods used were acid-base titrations, redox titrations, gravity filtration, and distillation. General conclusions included
Procedures
Weight of Crucibles

1. The first experiment is Preparation of a Cobalt Amine Bromide Product ; Synthesis #3 was used to create the compound. Added 5 grams of cobalt carbonate to 20 mL of hrdrobromic acid in a beaker. Noticied a slight color change to dark purple. Solution frothed after it settled I mixed in 15mL water and did a gravity filtration. Added the filtrate to a mixture of 2 grams activated charcoal and 25 mL of aqueous ammonia concentrated. Add 6mL of 30% hydrogen peroxide 3-4 drops at a time and heated. Transfered to a beaker and add a boiling solution of 3 mL HBr and 135 mL water.
Synthesis #3 yielded an orange colored powder.

2. Procedure for Analysis for percent Halide in a synthesized cobalt compound.
Prepare AgNO3 first: Weigh out 1.7-1.8 grams of AgNO3 and dissolve it in 50 mL deionized water. Mix in 10 drops of concentrated HNO3. Crucibles were already at a constant weight. Weighed out.24-.25 gram samples. Added 125-150 mL of deionized water and 10 drops of HNO3. Add 25 mL of AgNO3 solution to each sample. Boil gently. Collect AgX in gooch crucible. Used suction flask to dry then they were cooled and weighed.

My results yielded 50.1 % Halide ± .12
% Yield Calculation:
Crucible 1 weight : 31.7986 g
31.7986-31.2969 = .5017 g 35.452143.327X .5017= .1240
.1240.2478= .5004 x 100=50.04% Halide
Crucible 2 weight : 31.2134 g
31.2134 – 30.7106 = .5028
35.452143.327 X .5028= .1243
.1243.2478= .5016 x 100=50.16 % Halide

3. Procedure for Preparation and

    Sodium saccharin (0.446 g) was dissolved in N-N-dimethylformamide (DMF) at 80oC. Iodoethane (0.16 mL) was added and heated at constant temperature (80oC) for ten minutes. The product was separated by adding water to the room temperature solution, further cooled in ice and the solid collected and dried via vacuum filtration. The following week, the dried product (0.442g) was analyzed by melting point (87.8-94.7oC), and a 1H NMR spectrum.…

    The purpose of this lab was to test the law of definite proportions for the synthesis reaction of combusting magnesium. In this lab, the polished magnesium ribbon was placed in covered crucible and was heated in order for it to react with Oxygen presented in air and in water provided. The result showed that Magnesium oxide formed through chemical reaction was made up of 60.19% magnesium and 39.81% oxygen, which is approximate proportion of both particles in every Magnesium oxide compound. From this lab it can be concluded that the law of definite proportion stating that the elements in a pure compound combine in definite proportion to each other is factual.…

    There are twelve key principles of green chemistry that are used to evaluate how green a reaction may be. A green reaction prevents waste before it is created with little to no toxicity. Green experiments should be designed to maximize the starting materials into the final products while minimizing toxicity. Raw materials should be renewable and products should break down and not persist in the environment while reducing derivatives. All experiments should be performed in real time with use of catalysts while minimizing potential chemical accidents.…

    3. To obtain the mass of water, first measure the mass of the crucible with the lid and anhydrous MgSO4 and then obtain the mass of the crucible with the lid once again and hydrated MgSO4; after that, subtract the two sums and the result is the mass of the water. To obtain the mass of the anhydrous MgSO4, measure the mass of the crucible lid, then subtract this measurement from the mass of the crucible, lid, and anhydrous MgSO4…

    Writing reports in organic chemistry lab may differ from the way it’s done in general chemistry. One goal of this course is to introduce you to the record keeping methods used in research labs. Such methods are designed to organize experimental data in a format similar to that required for publication in major scientific journals. Here are some important considerations that apply in research settings. 1. Your work is unique, meaning that you might be the only person performing certain experiments. 2. Research is an ongoing process. The projects assigned to you will likely continue after you leave. People assigned to those projects will need to access your records for reference, or to attempt to reproduce work you did. Permanence is a characteristic of properly kept research records. 3. It is therefore important to follow guidelines for clear writing. In addition to writing legibly, you should use permanent ink. A ballpoint pen is adequate for this purpose, but a pencil is obviously not. 4. Write your records by hand, either while conducting the experiment, or immediately afterwards. This is important to avoid forgetting important details. You will make mistakes, but that is less important than recording data while it’s still fresh in your mind. 5. Mistakes are not to be erased. A “mistake” might turn out to be important information later. You and others must be able to read what you wrote. If you make a mistake, draw a line across the text, but make sure it remains legible, like this. 6. Remember: your lab notebook is the first line of documentation that exists of your experiments. It is important that this information be as fresh and accurate as possible. Don’t worry if it’s imperfect. You will have occasion to produce a formal, well written report later. It may be a thesis or a scientific publication, but it will likely bring together several experiments with a…

Then we set up the data collection mode to events with entry and change the name to Volume and units to mL. After setting up both gas pressure sensor and LabQuest we grab the 20mL syringe and set it up to 5, then you connect it to the gas pressure sensor and make a half twist to lock it. After that the pressure will appear in the LabQuest. Gather the data and continue to the next volume measurement to gather the pressure data.…
