Investigating the Ratio Between Poly-Vinyl Alcohol and Sodium Borate to form a Bouncing Ball Timothy English Gen. Chem. 1 Lab Section: 009 Introduction: Poly-Vinyl Alcohol (PVA) is a water-soluble synthetic polymer that will be used as one element to form the well know bouncing ball‚ along with Sodium Borate (borax)‚ which has a variety of uses because of its weak base. PVA is ideal for this experiment because it is odorless‚ nontoxic‚ has high tensile strength and flexibility. The

ether is mixed with an aqueous solution of a different pH. This will aid in ionizing the intended compound and separate it from the mixture. Once the molecule is ionized it will precipitate out of the ether solvent and dissolve into the aqueous layer. The aqueous layer can then be removed and the pure substance can be obtained through crystallization. In this week’s lab a mixture of carboxylic acid‚ phenol‚ and a neutral substance were separated from an ether solution. First‚ the carboxylic acid was

From the experiment‚ it was determined that Sodium chloride had a crystalline structure‚ even after being broken into smaller pieces with a hammer. Even though there was two different types of Sodium chloride‚ coarse and fine‚ they still had a symmetrical‚ three-dimensional shape. All ionic compounds have this structure. It was also found that Sodium chloride had a high melting point and sugar had a low melting point. This is because Sodium chloride is ionic and the bonds holding it together take

E. Reactions of Aldehydes and Ketones with Sodium Hydroxide Objectives: To know the reactions of aldehydes and ketones with sodium hydroxide a) State the function of Sodium Hydroxide in the test. Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) is the oxidizing agent. b) What are the principles involved in the test? What is its purpose? Cannizzaro reaction is a reaction that uses a strong base‚ such as sodium hydroxide‚ which results to the formation of a carboxylic acid (or its corresponding salt) and an alcohol

The moles of sodium thiosulphate can be determined using the average titre values and its concentration. When calculating the average titre values‚ the outliers are ignored because they are mainly created by errors and their great difference from the titres achieved in other trials will pose a great impact to the accuracy of the final result. n=v × c Where ‘n’ is the moles of sodium thiosulphate‚ ‘v’ is the average tire values sodium thiosulphate‚ and ‘c’ is its concentration

Method 1- Titration • For the titration‚ it is necessary to dilute the Sodium Hydroxide so that it is an easier concentration to titrate. Using a 25cm3 pipette‚ washed out with some of the NaOH solution‚ transfer 25cm3 of the solution to a 250 cm3 volumetric flask‚ and fill to the line with distilled water. The alkali will now have a concentration of 0.1 mol dm-3. • In the titration‚ the NaOH will be in the burette‚ and will be titrated into HCl in a conical flask: NaOH (aq) + HCl (aq) NaCl

Experiment 10: Solubility Product for Calcium Hydroxide GOAL AND OVERVIEW A saturated solution of Ca(OH)2 will be made by reacting calcium metal with water‚ then filtering off the solids: Ca(s) + H2O → Ca(OH)2(s) Ca2+(aq) + 2OH-(aq) The concentration of dissolved hydroxide will be determined by acid-base titration with standardized HCl solution. The Ksp for Ca(OH)2 will be calculated from the experimentally determined saturation concentration of hydroxide. Objectives of the data analysis understand

The equipment needed when making standard solutions includes; a volumetric flask‚ a glass beaker‚ two plastic weighing boats‚ scales‚ a spatula‚ and the sodium hydroxide. When using glassware in experiments‚ it must be flushed out to make sure that cross contamination does not happen and that the only thing that would then be coating the beaker is the distilled water. When all of the glassware has been cleaned‚ some sodium hydroxide should be placed in a plastic weighing boat next to the scales
