The tea color changes from brown to yellow-brown

Recognizing a Chemical Change


A chemical change occurs when a chemical substance is altered by a chemical reaction; something new is formed! A physical change occurs in a change of phase (melting, vaporization, sublimation, etc.), occurs in a subdivision change (chip, tear, grind, etc.) and occurs in dissolving. Such indicators are not always proof of a chemical change. For example, a gas can form as a result of change in physical state. In a laboratory, we must carefully determine which changes are connected to chemical changes and which changes are connected to physical changes. How can you tell whether a chemical change (reaction) has taken place? In general there are 4 indicators: 1) 2) 3) 4) a temperature change (the giving off or absorption of heat by a system) a precipitate forms (solid forms when two aqueous solutions are mixed) a color change, that is simply not a dilution a gas forms (bubbles seen and sometimes an odor)

Temperature change: Every chemical reaction involves some energy transfer, and in many cases, the energy transfer involves easily detectible heat. If a system (reaction mixture) loses heat, it is termed an endothermic reaction. If a reaction system gains heat, it is termed an endothermic reaction. CAUTION: In this investigation you may have to use a thermometer to determine a few degrees change in temperature if you cannot determine by feeling the temperature change. Therefore, before you indicate No Reaction, you should repeat your result with a thermometer placed in the solutions during the reaction. Observe any small change in temperature.

Precipitate forms: In many reactions a solid forms because one or more of the products is insoluble in the reaction mixture. The insoluble product settles to the bottom of the test tube. The insoluble substance at first appears as a cloudy suspension and slowly, if ever, settles to the bottom. Color change: Color changes that are indicative of a chemical change sometimes result from when the chemical forms of a compound changes. Example: HCl, an acid, added to blue litmus paper turns the paper red. This is because the chemical form of litmus changes. In the presence of an acid, the chemical form of litmus is red in color. The chemical form of litmus is blue in base. Gas forms: If one or more of the products is a gas at the reaction temperature, bubbles form. Also, it is possible to identify a gas by odor, by color, or by other recognizable chemical properties.

Safety Message: NH3, HCl and NaOH solutions are toxic and corrosive. Avoid contact with eyes. Ethanol (C2H5OH) is flammable. Wear apron and goggles. If you spill any solution, notify the teacher. In each of the following 12 experiments: 1) record your observations and 2) indicate whether a chemical change occurred by YES or NO on the data sheet. 1 mL of solution = 20 drops of solution Exp. 1 Obtain a pea size of CoC126H20 with a dry spatula, and place it in a dry test tube.

Law of Definite Composition


Objective: Students will be able to: 1. Observe a chemical reaction. 2. Calculate a ratio of mass of magnesium to mass of oxygen. Materials: Crucible and lid Tongs for crucible Safety goggles Medicine dropper Ring stand with ring Bunsen burner and lighter Scout II Balance Pipe-stem triangle Wire gauze Sandpaper Laboratory apron Magnesium ribbon Distilled water Procedure: 1. Before you start any lab with chemicals, always wear your lab apron and safety goggles. 2. Obtain a piece of magnesium from your instructor. If it is not shiny, use the sandpaper on it until it is shiny. 3. Obtain a clean, dry crucible and weigh it with the cover. Record this mass. 4. Roll the magnesium in a coil and place it into the crucible. Record the mass of the crucible and the coil. Subtract this mass from the mass of the crucible by itself. This is the mass of the magnesium. 5. Set up the ring stand assembly with the bunsen burner on the base. Put the appropriate size ring just above the burner. Place the pipestem triangle on the ring. Now, place the crucible on the pipstem triangle. 6. With the lid on the crucible, begin heating slowly. If a large amount of smoke starts to come out of the crucible, remove the heat temporarily. 7. After heating for about 3-4 minutes with no smoke, slightly remove the lid of the crucible. Now, heat the crucible to redness for about 4 minutes. Finally remove the lid completely and heat strongly for four more minutes. 8. Turn the burner off and put the lid back on the crucible. Allow the crucible and the cover to cool to a temperature low enough so that you can touch the crucible. Find the mass of the crucible, contents, and cover. Record these masses.

9. Add ten drops of the distilled water. Notice any odor (smell cautiously). Set the crucible up for heating again. Reheat with the lid on for four more minutes. Let the crucible and lid cool again. 10. Find the mass of the crucible, cover, and product. Record your results. 11. Compare the masses found in steps 8 and 9. If the masses do not agree within 0.05 g, reheat the crucible for four minutes, cool, and find the mass. Repeat until the last two agree within this range. 12. Clean up the lab and wash your hands. Follow-up questions: 1. What were your findings? How did the masses compare before the distilled water and after? 2. Did you have any smoke form? Why did it form? 3. What was the mass of the oxygen that combined with the magnesium? How do you know?

Lesson plan 3 Objective: to determine the density of regular and irregular objects Density Lab Introduction: An object made of cork feels lighter than an object made of lead. What you are Actually comparing in this case is how massive objects are compared to their size. This property is known as density. Density is expressed mathematically as the ratio of mass to volume. Density = mass/volume The unit of density is often g/mL. 1 mL = 1 cm3

Density is a useful number in determining what a substance is. Gold has a density of 19 g/mL, an average rock has the density of 3 g/mL, woods have varying densities; many woods are less than 1 g/mL, and water has a density of 1 g/mL. Any substance with a density of less than water will float on water; a greater density than water will sink in water. Objective: In this investigation you will find the density of a liquid and two solids. Masses will be measured on a balance. The volumes will be either calculated by a formula given or measured by submerging in water, commonly called the Archimedes method. Dont forget when reading the graduate cylinder to read the bottom of the meniscus as shown below:

Procedure: Liquid Place a 10 mL graduate cylinder on a balance and record its mass. Remove from the balance. Put exactly 10 mL (10.0 mL exactly) of the unknown liquid into the cylinder, and find its mass again; that is cylinder plus the unknown liquid. Solid (regular shape) Find the volume of the wooden cylinder by measuring the diameter and height to the nearest 0.1 cm (such as 2.5 cm). Use the formula for a cylinder, V = r2h. Measure the mass of a wooden cylinder. Solid (irregular object) First, measure the mass of the irregular shaped object. Put approximately 50 mL of water into 100 mL graduate cylinder and record the exact amount of water to the nearest decimal place in your data table (example: 49.8 or 50.1). Gently place the irregular shaped object into the cylinder and record the new volume to the nearest decimal place.

Pre-Lab Questions: 1. Which is less dense, a marshmallow or hot chocolate? A) It depends on how much you have. B) The marshmallow because it floats. C) The hot chocolate because it is a liquid. D) The marshmallow because it weighs 25 g and the chocolate powder weighs only 17g. 2. Which is more dense, water or oil? 3. What mass does 3.0 mL of gold have? 4. Calculate the volume displaced by an average rock which has a mass of 12 g.

Post-Lab Questions: 1. Examine the State Reference tables and discern what liquid was used in this investigation, and calculate your % error. 2. If oil has a density of 0.88 g/mL, would it float on the liquid used in this lab? 3. Since measuring the volume (actually mass and using the density formula) on a balance is more accurate than measuring the volume by reading a meniscus on a graduate cylinder, densities are found differently when a more accurate answer is needed. For example: A cylinder completely full of water is put on a balance and then an object is submerged allowing some water to spill out. Then, the cylinder, object, and water (minus the spillover) are weighed. The volume of the object is then calculated accurately. Use the following data determined by the above method to find the density of the unknown object. Assume the density of water at room temperature (22C) to be 0.9978 g/mL. (The density of water at 4C is exactly 1.000 g/mL.) Mass of cylinder full of water 201.051 g Mass of unknown object 15.211. g Mass of unknown object, cylinder, and water (minus spill-over) 212.219 g Density of unknown object g Show work for density calculation, and use the correct No. of significant figures!

State goal 3.01 Lesson plan 1

Investigation: The Bohr Model of the Hydrogen Atom


Reference pages: Chemistry, Addison-Wesley, p. 361-362; 372-375; 379-380 Abstract: After Rutherfords discover of the nucleus of an atom in the famous gold foil experiment, Neils Bohr proposed in 1913 a newer model of the atom in which electrons are not randomly found in the electron cloud, but found only in certain energy levels (shells or orbits) around the nucleus. The energy levels were labeled n, where n = 1, 2, 3, 4, etc. He proposed that electrons had fixed energy when they remained in the energy level, and the electrons do not lose energy and fall into the nucleus. Scientists were puzzled why electrons didnt lose energy and spiral into the positive charged nucleus. Also, the Bohr model proposed that energy levels (shells or orbits) were not equally spaced from the nucleus; they become more closely spaced the farther away from the nucleus. The model also describes how electrons can move from one level to another energy level: electrons in an atom can transition from their ground state, the lowest energy level they can occupy, to an excited state, a higher level, by absorbing an appropriate amount of energy called the quantum. This energy could be supplied by heat or electricity. Absorbing energy less than the quantum, no transition of the electron can occur. Electrons could transition by absorbing energy moving from n = 2 to n = 4 (2 as ground state to the excited state, 4) and transition back to n = 2 by giving off this energy in the form of light (radiant energy); hence emission spectrum line are formed. Emission spectrum lines are unique to each element, and these lines furnish scientist a way to distinguish one element from another. The Bohr model was able to explain the visible spectrum lines of the hydrogen atom observed in his day by numerous investigators and explain any species that has a one electron system, such as He+. Bohr was able to calculate the energy, frequency, and wavelength of light (radiant energy) given off during an electron transition to a lower state. Its shortcoming which led to the models downfall was that it could not explain the spectrum lines of many-electron atoms. To calculate energy in joules (J) of a quantum of light given off: E = hv h is a constant, known as Plancks constant and has a value = 6.63 X 10-34 J-s v is the frequency of light given off when a electron transitions back to a lower energy level; it is a Greek small letter, called nu pronounced new, and has the unit, 1/s. To calculate frequency (v) or wavelength (nm) of light (radiant energy) given off: v = c/ c is the speed of light, 3.00 X 108 m/s is the wavelength of that radiant energy (light); the units are usually in nm

Objectives: 1.You are to observe the emission spectrum lines of the hydrogen and helium atoms by using a spectroscope, glass tubes containing the two gases at low pressures, and a power source. 2.

The Periodic Table and Periodicity


State goal 2.01 Lesson plan 1

Objective: To discover the periodic trends of certain physical properties of elements


related to their position on the Periodic Table of Elements.

Background: The Periodic Table is arranged according to the Periodic Law. The
Periodic Law states that when elements are arranged in order of increasing atomic number, their physical and chemical properties show a periodic pattern. Students can discover these patterns by examining the changes in properties of elements on the Periodic Table. The properties that will be examined in this lesson are: atomic radius, first ionization energy, and electronegativity. (definitions) TEACHER NOTE: The teacher may encourage the students to take notes as they go through the questions (they may become difficult to recall while switching back and forth between pages). Students need to be familiar with the terms: atomic radius, ionization energy and elctronegativity.

Lesson: In this exercise you will look at a few physical properties of elements and how
those properties are related to their position on the Periodic Table. Analyze the data found on the Periodic Table sites to answer the questions listed below. When performing your activities, you may return to this page by clicking on the Go to Lesson link.

Activities:
1. Explore some on-line periodic tables; Use the URL: www.chemicool.com for the Cool Periodic Table. 2. Use the Cool Periodic Table link. For each of the first three elements in rows 2 and 3 (Li, Be, B, then Na, Mg, Al) find the Atomic Radius (click on the element symbol).
o o o o o

What appears to be the trend in atomic radius as you move from left to right in a row? What appears to be the trend in atomic radius as you move down a column? Predict the change in atomic radius of the next elements in a row (C, Si), then check those properties. Do they match your predictions? Check the atomic radius of the next elements in the series (N, P). How do they fit the predicted pattern? Is the pattern of atomic radius absolute or general (always true or generally true)?

3. Repeat the same steps and questions, but look at the property of first ionization energy and then repeat again for electronegativity. 4. Consider all three of the properties that you have examined.
o o

State the general trend for each property if you move from left to right on the Periodic Table. Now, state the general trend from top to bottom. How do these properties show periodicity (periodic trends)?

5. Use the links given below to examine the same three properties graphically. 6. View the line graph of atomic radius.
o o o o

What do the different colors show? Can you see a pattern in the second period that is repeated in the third period? How does this graph agree with your observations of atomic radius made earlier? Why do the fourth and fifth periods have more dots and different patterns?

7. Find the same type of graph for 1st ionization energy (enthalpy) and electronegativity. Answer the same questions for these graphs as you did for the atomic radii graph. 8. Use the color-coded tables, atomic radius, 1st ionization energy and electronegativity, to answer the questions below.
o o o

How does this show periodic trends of the selected property? Which method did you find most informative? Which method was easiest to see the general pattern and not get confused by exceptions in the pattern?

Water of crystallization, the hydrate


Objective- In this investigation, you are to name several hydrates and to heat hydrates which drives off their water of crystallization. Introduction- Ionic compounds often crystallize from solution with molecules incorporated within the crystal structure of the solid. Such compounds are referred to as hydrates. This water of crystallization may be driven off by the application of heat to form an anhydrous (without water) compound. In writing the formula of a hydrate, a dot is used to connect the formula of the compound and the number of water molecules per formula unit. Crystals of copper(II) sulfate pentahydrate (CuSO45H2O) always contain five molecules of water for each copper and sulfate ion pair. The deep-blue crystals are dry to the touch. When heated over 100C, the crystals lose their water of hydration (water of crystallization). CuSO45H2O(s) == CuSO4(s) + 5H2O(g) (blue crystals) (white anhydrous solid) Hydrates are named by group prefixes (mono-,di-, tri-, tetra-, penta-, hexa-, hepta-, octa-, nona-, deca-). For example, BaCl22H2O is named barium chloride dihydrate. Procedure: 1. Place about 0.5 g of CuSO45H2O in a clean, small evaporating dish. 2. Set up a wire gauze on a metal ring, and prepare to heat the sample in the burner flame. Begin the heating with a very small flame. If there is any evidence that the material is a bout to spatter, remove the heat immediately. Record any changes in appearance/color as the hydrate is heated. 3. When it is apparent that most of the water has been driven from the sample, increase the size of the flame. Stir the salt with a clean stirring rod until the sample is uniform in texture and appearance. 4. Remove the heat and allow the dish to cool completely to room temperature. 5. When the anhydrous metal salt has cooled to room temperature, add water dropwise. Record any changes in appearance/color. 6. Clean out the evaporating dish, repeat the procedure with the other available metal hydrates: NiCl26H2O; CoCl26H2O; CrCl36H2O; BaCl22H2O. 7. As a more vivid demonstration of the ability of anhydrous salts to absorb moisture, do the following: Weigh an empty clean watch glass (to the nearest 0.01 g), then add about a teaspoon of anhydrous calcium chloride to the watch glass and reweigh. Examine the salt from time to time during the remainder of the lab period, and reweigh the watch glass and contents before leaving lab. Calcium chloride is an excellent desiccant and is able to absorb so much moisture from the air that it usually forms a solution itself. A salt that

absorbs such a great deal of water to form a solution is said to be deliquescent. Calculate the mass of water absorbed by the anhydrous calcium chloride. Calculate what percentage of its own weight the CaCl2 sample was able to absorb in moisture during the lab period. Data Sheet: 1. Copper (II) sulfate pentahydrate

% Yield of Compound
Objective: In this experiment you will measure the mass of the solid product, NaCl produced which is the actual yield of your experiment. Secondly, you will calculate the theoretical yield of the product, NaCl from the stoichiometry of the balanced chemical equation. Then you will calculate your percent yield of the NaCl from the following equation: % yield = (actual / theoretical) X 100% Actual yield-the amount of product formed when the reaction is carried out in the laboratory. Theoretical yield-the amount of product formed according to the stoichiometry calculation Apparatus: balance, centigram electric heater eye dropper Chemicals: sodium hydrogen carbonate 3.0 M hydrochloric acid Safety: Take the necessary safety precautions. Wear safety goggles and apron. HCl is caustic and corrosive. Avoid breathing vapors. If any acid should spill on you, wash the area with water, or if the acid spills on the table, use acid neutralizer and then wipe up. Procedure: 1. Obtain an evaporating dish. Measure the mass of a clean dry evaporating dish to the nearest centigram. Record this mass in the data table. 2. Add between 2.00-2.75 g of sodium hydrogen carbonate to the evaporating dish. Measure the mass of the sodium hydrogen, evaporating dish. Record this mass in the data table. 3. Slowly add about 10 mL of the 3.0 M hydrochloric acid to the sodium hydrogen carbonate in the evaporating dish. Do not let any solid product bubble out with the gas. Then, carefully add the 3.0 M hydrochloric acid with a medicine dropper drop by drop until the bubbling stops. Note: The solid sodium hydrogen carbonate remains in the bottom of the evaporating dish unreated, and therefore, you must gently swirl the evaporating dish between drops to ensure all the solid reacts. spatula evaporating dish

Gently boil the water from the evaporating dish until only a dry solid remains. Begin to heat slowly when almost all the water is evaporated. Do not let any of the solid product escape. 6. Turn off the heater. Place the evaporating dish with your product in an oven set at 200OC over night. 7. Determine the mass of the cooled dish and solid product. Record this mass in the data table. 7.

Lesson plan 2

Flick your Bic The Determination of the Molar Mass of Butane


Objective: Using the ideal gas law (equation), PV = nRT, can be a good method for determining the molar mass of a gas in the laboratory. The gas in the lighter is butane, a hydrocarbon. In this experiment, we will use 0.08206 L-atm / mol-K as R. Procedure: 1. Remove the striking mechanism (flint, wheel, and spring) from the pocket lighter (BIC or Scripto). Pointed scissors are a useful tool for removing. Remove warning label and all glue. Measure the mass of the lighter on the balance to the nearest 0.01 g. 2. Fill a 250 mL graduate cylinder completely full of water, invert carefully, and place it inside a pneumatic trough filled partially with water. Be careful not to allow any air bubbles in the cylinder ! 3. Measure the temperature of the water. ( It will be assumed that the gas will be at the same temperature.) Obtain the barometer reading. Use a water-vapor pressure table and Daltons Law to correct the correct pressure of the gas. 4. Hold the lighter under the water and below the mouth of the inverted cylinder, and press the release area on the lighter. Make sure all the bubbles of the gas are going into the cylinder. Collect between 230 to 250 mL of gas in the 250 mL graduate cylinder. 5. Adjust the position of the cylinder in the water, so that the water levels inside and outside the cylinder are the same. Why? You may have to add more water to the trough or more gas to the cylinder to achieve this to achieve this. 6. Shake excess water from the lighter. Blot dry with a paper towel, and then use a cool setting of a hair dryer to blow off any droplets that remain. Then measure the mass of the lighter again to the nearest 0.01 g.

Flick your BIC


Pre-Lab: 1. Identify each variable and its unit that you will use in the ideal gas equation, and identify the value of the constant, R and its units.

2. In this laboratory we will find the barometric pressure reading in our area by using www.weather.com. A student must look for this reading inserting our zip code and report it to the class. The pressure reading must be determined at the time of the experiment ! Change this reading from inches of Hg to atm: 29.92 in of Hg = 1.000 atm Your pressure reading in atm is ___________________ . 3. Observing the BIC lighter, how do you explain that you are determining the molar mass of a gas, but butane is a liquid in the lighter? 4. To calculate the molar mass, you have to calculate the number of moles, n, of the gas present in the graduate cylinder by using the ideal gas law. Then, knowing the mass of the gas by measuring it on a balance, you divide the grams of gas by the mole of the gas. Molar mass is g/mole. Sample problem: 240. mL of propane gas is collected over water by inverting a graduate cylinder full of water in a pneumatic trough filled nearly full of water. The corrected pressure is 0.998 atm, and the measured temperature of water is 21 OC . The mass of the gas collected was determined to be 0.42 g. Calculate the molar mass of propane.

5. In this experiment a gas is collected over water. Not only is butane gas collected in the cylinder, but some water vapor automatically is there causing the pressure of the butane gas in the cylinder not to be equal to the barometric pressure. A correction must be made using a watervapor pressure table and Daltons Law ( Pbar = Pgas + Pwater). If the barometric pressure is 0.999 atm and the water temperature is 23C, calculate the pressure for the butane gas in the cylinder needed for your ideal gas law calculation.

Data:

Calculate the molar mass of butane using the ideal gas equation. Show all work.

Extension: The percentage composition of the gas in the lighter was found to be as follows: carbon, 82.63% and hydrogen, 17.37%. Calculate the empirical formula of butane. Use the empirical formula mass (efm) and your molar mass (MM) to determine the molecular formula of butane. (n = MM/efm). The butane gas may be impure, and errors may occur in your experiment. Round off n to obtain a whole number to calculate molecular formula.

Thermochemistry
State goals 3.02, 3.03, 3.04 Lesson plan 1

Thermochemistry and Spontaneity Introduction:


Thermochemistry is the relationship between chemical reactions and heat energy. Reactions can be exothermic (heat loss by a reaction) or endothermic (heat gain), but the natural tendency or driving force is for them to be exothermic. When a chemical reaction is exothermic, the reaction can be spontaneous (will take place as written, unless there is an outside source of energy) or nonspontaneous. Clearly, there must be another/other driving force/s of a chemical reaction other than just heat loss that makes a reaction spontaneous. Spontaneity of a reaction depends on two driving forces: 1) change in enthalpy (exothermic or endothermic) and 2) change in entropy. Entropy is a measure of disorder. The natural tendency is for reactions to become more disordered.

Demonstration and Discussion:


The teacher will dissolve 0.1 mole of each: NH4NO3, MgSO4 and LiC2H3O2 in three different test tubes which each contain 10 mL of distilled water. A student assistant will be asked to record the temperature change as each substance dissolves. The assistant may have to shake gently or stir the solution while recording and observing. The temperature changes of the three reactions or lack thereof allow for a good discussion of change in enthalpy (exothermic, endothermic) and heats of solution formation. Equations for the dissolving substances are written on the board.

Experiment:
In this experiment you will predict the spontaneity of the five reactions represented below. Then in the laboratory, you will attempt to carry out these same reactions to see if, indeed, your predictions are true. Predict spontaneous or nonspontaneous 1.

Pour the water from the cup into the graduated cylinder and measure the volume. 8. Determine the heat of fusion of ice (kJ/mol) by dividing the heat given up by the water by the moles of ice melted. (Determine the mass of ice melted by subtracting the difference between the volume before the ice was added and the volume after it has melted). Follow-up questions: 1. The heat of fusion of ice is 6 kJ/mol. Why do you think there was a difference, if any? 2. Calculate your percent error. Use State Exam Reference Tables for formula. 3.

State goals 3.05, 4.03 Lesson plan 1

List several other factors that affect reaction rate and explain each. _____________________________________________________________________________ _

Lesson plan 2

Spontaneity
Introduction: Spontaneity is a process (chemical or physical change) that occurs without any outside intervention, The Gibbs Free energy indicates whether a change in Gibbs free energy (G) is positive or negative. If a process is negative, the reaction is spontaneous. Spontaneity of a chemical or physical change means the reaction will take place as written, left to right. This negative change (-G) is termed exergonic. If a process is nonspontaneous (endergonic), the reaction will not take place as written, but will occur in the opposite direction. H is a change in enthalpy, and S is change in entropy. G = H -T S (Gibbs Free Energy Equation)

The criterion for spontaneity is: H - T S < 0 Objective: Using thermochemical methods, you will measure the enthalpy change that occurs when sodium nitrate is dissolved in water. You will also predict the sign of the free energy change ( G) for this process and estimate the minimum value for the entropy change. Concept: The process you will examine in this experiment is the dissolving of sodium nitrate, NH4NO3(s). NH4NO3(s) == Na+(aq) + NO3-(aq) You will measure the heat lost or gained during the dissolving process by using a coffee cup calorimeter. Your teacher will explain the technique. Then you will calculate the enthalpy change for the process, H. After you have calculated the enthalpy change, you will decide whether the process is spontaneous or no spontaneous. The sign for G for the process will rest on your decision. Finally, you should be able to obtain a minimum value for the entropy change, S as well as its sign from H and the predicted sign of G. Pre-laboratory assignment: 1. Provide symbols (where appropriate) and definitions of the following terms: a. Enthalpy change b. Entropy change

c. Free-energy change d. Spontaneous process e. Nonspontaneous process 2. a. How will you decide whether a process is spontaneous in this experiment?

b. If you were to use this method after you had observed the fate of an ice cube at 25C, what would you conclude about the spontaneity of the following process? Why? H20(s) == H20(l)

c. The standard enthalpy change for this process is 6.01 kJ/mol. What is the minimum value for the standard entropy change, on the basis of your conclusions about the spontaneity?

3. During this experiment, you will be required to prepare 100 mL of a 1.0 M solution of NaNO3. Calculate the mass of NaNO3 (to the nearest tenth of a gram) that will be required.

Measuring the heat evolved or absorbed: 1. In the Prelaboratory Assignment, you calculated the mass of NaNO3 that would be required to prepare 100 mL of a 1.0 M solution. Obtain this mass of NaNO3, using a balance. Make sure the pan is protected with a piece of waxed paper. 2. Place 100 mL of distilled water in the calorimeter, using a clean 100-mL graduated cylinder. 3. Measure and record the temperature of this water to the nearest 0.1C. This is the initial temperature (ti). 4. Add the solid NaNO3 to the cup in such a way that none adheres to the side of the cup.

5. Place the top on the calorimeter immediately and begin stirring. 6. Measure the temperature of the solution to the nearest 0.1C after 30 s and every 30 s thereafter until the temperature attains either a maximum or a minimum value. This temperature will be used as the final temperature (tf). 7. Calculate q(system), using 4.184 J/(g C) and 1.0 g/mL for the specific heat and density of the solution and 1.0 101 J/C for the heat capacity of the calorimeter. 8. Calculate the enthalpy change, H, from q(system) and the number of moles of NaNO3. 9. Repeat Steps 1 through 8 with a new solution. Calculate the mean enthalpy change for the process. 10.

Chemical Equilibrium
State goal 4.02 Lesson plan 1 Objective: to demonstrate the effect of a concentration stress and a temperature stress on equilibrium. An aqueous solution involving the dehydrated-hydrated cobalt complex is produced. When the system is heated, a color change from pink to blue indicates a shift of equilibrium from left to right. When the solution is cooled, the color change is from blue to pink indicating a shift from right to left. Changing the concentration of reactants results in an equilibrium shift between pink and blue complex ions of cobalt. heat + [Co(H2O)6]Cl2 pink <=> [CoCl2(H2O)2] + 4H2O blue

Concentration Stress Procedure: Wear safety goggles and disposable gloves. CoCl2 is toxic. 1. Shift of equilibrium to the right: Place 20 mL of cobalt(II) chloride solution in a small beaker. Slowly add 40 mL of concentrated HCl. Note the formation of blue color. Use a face shield and gloves when you use concentrated HCl. 2. Shift of equilibrium to the left: Use half of the solution from step 1; save the other half. Add 20 mL of distilled water. Note the color change to pink. 3. Shift the equilibrium to the left. To the remaining solution from step 1, add silver nitrate solution a drop at a time until a precipitate forms. Note the formation of a pink color. 4. Dispose of the solutions according to the directions in Appendix 5. Reactions 1. Excess C1- causes the formation of more blue tetrachlorocobalt (II) complex. 2. Excess water shifts the equilibrium to the left and forms more pink hexaaquacobalt(II) complex. 3. Silver nitrate removes C1-, and the precipitate silver chloride is formed. This precipitation causes the equilibrium to shift to the left, and more pink complex is formed. Solutions 1. The cobalt (II) chloride solution of 0.2 M: 26 g of CoC12 per liter of water. 2. The hydrochloric acid is a concentrated solution. 3. The silver nitrate solution of 0.1 M: 1.7 g of AgNO3 per 100 mL of distilled water (distilled only).Caution: Use gloves with silver nitrate. Teaching Tips NOTES

1. This demonstration projects well. Use Petri dishes on an overhead projector. 2. Be sure to use concentrated HC1 in step 1. In addition to adding C1-, HC1 has a dehydrating effect. 3. Have students make predictions of the effect on equilibrium before each part of the demonstration. QUESTIONS FOR STUDENTS 1. 2. 3. 4. What is the effect of adding a common ion to a system in equilibrium? Explain what happened in each part of the demonstration. What might be another way to shift equilibrium to the right? Blue colors are usually associated with hydrated compounds. Why does the hydrated cobalt complex have a pink color?

Temperature Stress Procedure Wear safety goggles and disposable plastic gloves. CoC12 is toxic. 1. Place 1000 mL of CoC12 solution in a 250-mL beaker. 2. Add concentrated HC1 until the solution changes from pink to blue. Use a face shield and gloves when you use concentrated HC1. 3. Divide the solution into three smaller beakers and treat them as follows. a. Place one beaker on a hot plate. b. Place one beaker in an ice bath. c. Leave one beaker at room temperature as a standard. 4. After a few minutes, show that the heated sample has turned a darker blue and that the cooked sample has turned a light pink. Reactions 1. Addition of heat causes a shift of equilibrium toward products, the blue solution 2. Cooling causes a shift of equilibrium to the left, the pink hydrated complex. Solutions 1. The CoC12 solution of 0.4 M: Dissolve 5.2 g per 100 mL of water. 2. The HC1 solution is concentrated. Teaching Tips NOTES

1. As indicated in the equation, you may have to add quite a bit of HCl to get the formation of the blue complex. 2. The clue color is due to the tetrachlorocobalt(II) complex, and the pink color is due to the hexaaquacobalt(II) complex. 3. For an interesting variation, heat 150 mL of CoC12 solution until it turns blue. Fill a large test tube with this solution and immerse it halfway into a beaker that contains crushed ice and salt. The bottom part of the test tube will turn pink. QUESTIONS FOR STUDENTS 1. 2. 3. 4. Write an equation for the equilibrium system Why was it necessary to add HC1 to establish equilibrium? How does heating shift the equilibrium? What do you think will happen to the equilibrium system if you add water?

Lesson plan 2

Antacids vs. Acids


Objective: Students will measure the degree that antacids are able to neutralize excess stomach acid. Materials: White vinegar (5% acetic acid) Sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) Various antacids Clear plastic cups Medicine dropper or pipette Mortar and pestle Indicator, phenolpthalein Water Teaspoon measurer Paper towels Procedure: 1. Grind the antacid into a fine powder with the mortar and pestle. 2. Keep the different antacids separate by labeling your paper towel. Make sure not to mix the powders from the different antacids together. 3. Put 2 teaspoons of the vinegar in a plastic cup. This is to simulate the excess stomach acid. 4. Drop 5 drops of the indicator to the vinegar and observe the color (should be clear). 5. Drop very small amounts of the baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) to the vinegar until the indicator turns pinkish-red. This means that the system is neutral. Make sure to keep track of how much baking soda youve added so you know how much it took to neutralize the system. 6. Repeat the process with different antacids in place of the baking soda. Be sure that you make a new excess acid and indicator solution before repeating the process with the different antacids. 7. When you are finished with the baking soda and the various antacids, compare your results.

Follow-up questions: 1. How did your numbers compare? Which is the better neutralizer? How does your data prove this? 2. Identify some of the ingredients in the various antacids. Which ingredients neutralize acid? Which ingredients are common between brands? 3. Write and balance the equation for the neutralization of acetic acid (HC2H3O2) by baking soda (sodium bicarbonate).
