Stoichiometry of Precipitation Reaction
Stoichiometry of a Precipitation Reaction
March 20,2013 Amber McCollum

Introduction

Stoichiometry is a branch of chemistry that deals with the quantitative relationships that exist among the reactants and products in chemical reactions To predict the amount of product produced in a precipitation reaction using stoichiometry, accurately measure the reactants and products of the reaction, determine the actual yield vs. the theoretical yield and to calculate the percent yield. The equation that will be used is:
Ba(NO3)2 (aq) + CuSO4 (aq) → BaSO4 (s) + Cu(NO3)2 (aq)

Method 1. Gather materials needed for experiment which included: a. Small test tube with lip b. Large beaker c. Small graduated cylinder d. Large graduated cylinder e. One 9in balloon f. Citric acid g. Sodium bicarbonate h. Sodium chloride

2. To start the experiment: * Na2CO3(aq) + CaCl2. 2H2O(aq) à CaCO3(s) + 2NaCl(aq) + 2H2O * Put on your goggles. * Weigh out 1.0 g of CaCl2·2H2O and put it into the 100-mL beaker. Add 25 mL of distilled water and stir to form the calcium chloride solution. Use only distilled water since tap water may have impurities that interfere with the experiment.. Use stoichiometry to determine how much Na2CO3 you will need for a full reaction. * Weigh the calculated amount of Na2CO3 and put it in a small paper cup. Add 25 mL of distilled water and stir to make a sodium carbonate solution. * Pour the sodium carbonate solution from the paper cup into the beaker with the calcium chloride solution. A precipitate of calcium carbonate will form instantly. * Use the following instructions to set up a filtration assembly. * Swirl the contents of the beaker to dislodge any precipitate from the sides. Then, while holding the filter paper in place and open, slowly pour the content of the beaker into the filter paperlined funnel. Be careful to not let the solution overflow the level of

    Initially it was calculated that 0.68 g of CaCO3 was needed for a full reaction. The net mass of Na2CO3 (reactant) was 0.72 g and the net mass of CaCO3 was 0.5 g. I was able to use the graduated cylinder to measure the 25ml of distilled water, before pouring it into the beak and inside the beaker was a 1.0g of…

    When making a standard solution anywhere even if it is in a lab or an industry it is important that you have the right type of PPE equipment (personal protective equipment). You will need a lab coat and goggles disposal gloves can also be used but they are not really as necessary as the other two. The first step in making a standard solution in a lab is by putting the weighing boat on a weighting scale and pressing the tare button which will set it to zero. This is done so that when you’re measuring the substance in this case sodium carbonate the beakers mass will not be calculated along with the substance so that you can get the accurate value. After you finish that it is important that when you are putting your substance into the weighing boat that you take it off the weighing boat because sodium carbonate is powder and it is very easy for powder to fall and if it falls while you were putting it into your beaker while it was on the weighting in scale it could change your results and you would have to start again. After you have carefully weighed up the amount of the required substance transfer it into a beaker and them use distilled water to rinse the weighing boat as some particle could have been left inside and add that into the beaker as well. After…

    Experiment and Observations: As I performed the lab, I had to retrieve all my equipment’s from my labpaq. As I started to setup, I had to weigh out 1.0 gram of CaCl2*2H2O on the digital scale. After it was weighed, it was added to the 100 mL beaker and 25 mL of distilled was added and stirred. Next, I had to figure out the amount of the second reactant, so that it can be added to the solution. I had to perform stoichiometry to figure out the amount of Na2CO3 is needed to make a precipitate of calcium carbonate. After the calculations, I arrived at .72 grams of Na2CO3 and rounded to the nearest tenth to mix with 25 mL of distilled water. After both of the reactants were mixed separately with distilled water, they both were clear color. As soon as you added the solution of Na2CO3 to CaCl2*2H2O the color of solution changed to a cloud white color. When both solutions are mixed, the paper filter that was provided with the lab must be weighed and recorded. Then you pour the solution into the paper filter to filter out the precipitate and dry the filter to weigh the mass of the precipitate when it dries. After it dried, it was weighed and stoichiometry was performed to see what the…

    When we bake/cook something, we use a specific amount of each ingredient. Imagine if you made a batch of cookies and used way too many eggs, or not enough sugar. YUCK! In chemistry, reactions proceed with very specific recipes. The study of these recipes is stoichiometry. When the reactants are present in the correct amounts, the reaction will produce products. What happens if there are more or less of some of the reactants present?…

    Stoichiometry is the study of the quantitative, or measurable, relationships that exist in chemical formulas and also chemical reactions. The calculations of a stoichiometry problem depend upon balanced chemical equations. The coefficients of the balanced equations indicate the molar ratio of the reactants and products taking part in the reaction. There are three major categories of stoichiometry problems such as mass-mass, mass-volume, and volume-volume.…

    The first purpose of this experiment is to apply solubility rules to choose two of eight given reactants to do a precipitation reaction. The second purpose is to use stoichiometry to calculate how much of a reactant will be used in a precipitation reaction, assuming that the amount of product is given, and to figure out the actual yield vs. the theoretical yield and to calculate the percent yield. The other purpose of this experiment is to practice the gravimetric analysis technique.…

    Introduction: Coefficients in a balanced equations show how many moles of each reactant is needed to react with each other and how many moles of each product that will be formed. Stoichiometry allows us to calculate the amount of reactants needed and also the amount of product. The major basis of stoichiometry is formed by the law of definite proportions, which states that a chemical compound always contains the exact proportion of elements by mass. This is also the heart of balancing chemical equations.…
