III. PROCEDURES
1. First, the group computed the desired grams for each chemicals. Computation are as follows.
𝑚𝑜𝑙𝑒𝑠 𝑜𝑓𝑠𝑜𝑙𝑢𝑡𝑒
Derivation formula: 𝑀𝑜𝑙𝑎𝑟𝑖𝑡𝑦 = 𝐿𝑖𝑡𝑒𝑟 𝑠𝑜𝑙′𝑛
0.2M KOH
(0.2𝑀 𝐾𝑂𝐻)(0.025 𝐿)(56.1056 𝑔 𝐾𝑂𝐻)
1 𝑚𝑜𝑙𝑒 𝐾𝑂𝐻
= 0.2805 grams KOH
0.2M NaNO3
(0.2𝑀 𝑁𝑎𝑁𝑂3)(0.025 L)( 84.9947 𝑔 𝑁𝑎𝑁𝑂3 )
1 𝑚𝑜𝑙𝑒 𝑁𝑎𝑁𝑂3
= 0.4250 grams NaNO3
0.1M FeCl3
(0.1𝑀 𝐹𝑒𝐶𝑙3 )(0.025 L)(162.2 𝑔𝑟𝑎𝑚𝑠 𝐹𝑒𝐶𝑙3 )
1 𝑚𝑜𝑙𝑒 𝐹𝑒𝐶𝑙3
= 0.4055 grams FeCl3
0.4M KCl
(0.4𝑀 𝐾𝐶𝑙 )(0.025 L)(74.5513 𝑔𝑟𝑎𝑚𝑠 𝐾𝐶𝑙)
1 𝑚𝑜𝑙 𝐾𝐶𝑙
= 0.7455 grams KCl
0.1M Ba(NO3)2
(0.1𝑀 𝐵𝑎(𝑁𝑂3 )2 )(0.025 𝐿)(261.337 𝑔)
1 𝑚𝑜𝑙𝑒 Ba(NO3 )2
= 0.6533 grams Ba(NO3)2
2. The two groups will prepare the chemicals. Each chemical will be put in a beaker and will use
different droppers to avoid contamination then weigh the necessary amount using the analytical
balance.
3. Dilute each chemical in their separate containers with 25 mL water then use a stirring rod to
mix the chemicals properly, clean the stirring rod every after usage in a solution to avoid
contamination.
4. Record the color of each reagent solution beforehand.
5. In different combinations, as shown below, each 1-mL of chemical will be reacted to 1-mL of
each chemical using test tubes (added dropwise).
For example:
4.1. TRANSFER 1 mL of your reagent 1, say KOH to the test tubes.
4.2. On test tube 1, ADD 1mL of NaNO3 added dropwise.
4.3. On test tube 2, ADD 1 mL of FeCl3 added dropwise.
4.4. On test tube 3, ADD 1 mL of KCl added dropwise.
4.5. On test tube 4, ADD 1 mL of Ba(NO3)2 added dropwise.
6. The group will continue to test pairs of solutions until all possible combinations of a set have
been tested and describe the color and appearance of all precipitates.
7. All the observations of the group will be recorded (e.g. the change in color, change in Volume,
appearance of precipitates, etc.). Also, observe the time if some reactions take longer to develop
than other reactions. Lastly, dispose each solution in their appropriate waste containers and use
wash bottle to clean laboratory glassware’s and other equipment’s.
8. If there’s still time left after conducting part b experiment the group will observe the other set
of reactions using the other group’s excess materials.
B. GAS FORMING REACTIONS
1. In a dry test tube, the group will add a sample of 1 gram of chalk. Afterwards 1 mL
of deionized water will be added to it followed by 1 mL of 2 M HCl. The group will
record the observations.
Note: The available HCl chemical in the laboratory has 37% concentration and its
density is 1.2g/mL. Also, the group agreed to 1 gram of CaCO 3 and Na2SO4 to
differentiate each solution objectively.
Does your solubility table agree with what we can find in the books?
