III. PROCEDURES

1. First, the group computed the desired grams for each chemicals. Computation are as follows.

Set #C (Group 3 and 6)


0.2M KOH, 0.2M NaNO3, 0.1M FeCl3, 0.4M KCl, 0.1M Ba(NO3)2

The amount of reagents assigned to our group are computed as follows:

𝑚𝑜𝑙𝑒𝑠 𝑜𝑓𝑠𝑜𝑙𝑢𝑡𝑒
Derivation formula: 𝑀𝑜𝑙𝑎𝑟𝑖𝑡𝑦 = 𝐿𝑖𝑡𝑒𝑟 𝑠𝑜𝑙′𝑛

Then, 𝑚𝑜𝑙𝑒𝑠 𝑜𝑓 𝑠𝑜𝑙𝑢𝑡𝑒 = (𝑀𝑜𝑙𝑎𝑟𝑖𝑡𝑦)(𝐿𝑖𝑡𝑒𝑟 𝑆𝑜𝑙 ′ 𝑛)

To get the amount of solute in grams


(𝑚𝑜𝑙𝑎𝑟 𝑚𝑎𝑠𝑠 𝑜𝑓 𝑠𝑜𝑙𝑢𝑡𝑒)
│(𝑚𝑜𝑙𝑒𝑠 𝑜𝑓 𝑠𝑜𝑙𝑢𝑡𝑒)│ 1 𝑚𝑜𝑙𝑒

So the final formula will be,


(𝑴𝒐𝒍𝒂𝒓𝒊𝒕𝒚)(𝑳𝒊𝒕𝒆𝒓 𝑺𝒐𝒍′ 𝒏)(𝑴𝒐𝒍𝒂𝒓 𝑴𝒂𝒔𝒔)
𝟏 𝒎𝒐𝒍𝒆

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).

KOH NaNO3 FeCl3 KCl Ba(NO3)2


KOH
NaNO3
FeCl3
KCl
Ba(NO3)2

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.

Below is the computation of the amount of HCL needed,


Formula:
(𝑚𝑜𝑙𝑎𝑟𝑖𝑡𝑦 𝑜𝑓 𝐻𝐶𝑙)(𝐿𝑖𝑡𝑒𝑟 𝑠𝑜𝑙𝑛)(𝑀𝑜𝑙𝑎𝑟 𝑚𝑎𝑠𝑠 𝑜𝑓 𝐻𝐶𝑙)
( × 100)𝐷𝑒𝑛𝑠𝑖𝑡𝑦 𝑜𝑓 𝐻𝐶𝑙)
37
(2 𝑀𝑜𝑙𝑒/𝐿)(0.001𝐿)(36.4𝑔𝑟𝑎𝑚𝑠/𝑚𝑜𝑙𝑒)
( 37
× 100)(1.2𝑔/𝑚𝑙)= 0.23 mL
2. The group will repeat the first step, instead of chalk, 1 gram of Na2SO4 will be
added.

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.

II. Presentation of Data and Analysis


Answer the following questions. Write your presentation comprehensively.
A. Part 1
1. WRITE the formula for the possible products in the upper right portion of each of
the boxes.
If no reaction occurred explain why.
NOTE the reagents and soluble product.
2. WRITE equations to indicate what you consider to have happened in each case in
which there was precipitate formed. USE ions to represent the species in the
reacting solutions, but for those products that were precipitates write a formula for
the compound. PLACE (aq) after those species in solution and (s) after the
precipitates. Be sure to write the equations so that both atoms and charge are
conserved. For example:
Ag+(aq) + NO3-(aq) + Na+(aq) + Cl-(aq) → AgCL(s) + Na+(aq) + NO3-(aq)
3. REWRITE the equations, leaving out the ions not involved in the reaction
(spectators). Write the net ionic equation.
4. What precipitates were formed? What was their color? DESCRIBE the liquid
portion of the new solution. PRESENT your findings in a table.
5. MAKE a solubility table that includes all the reactants based from the experiment.
The following serves as a rough example for the table format:
Anion Insoluble cations Soluble cations

Does your solubility table agree with what we can find in the books?
B. Part 2

1. Describe what happened when you mixed HCl with:


1.1. Chalk
1.2. Na2SO4
2. What are the products of the reaction?
3. Write the balanced molecular equation, an ionic equation with spectator ions crossed out, and
the balanced net ionic equation for both reactions.

C. Post Lab Questions:

1. From your experiment, CALCULATE the amount of each precipitate formed.


2. DESCRIBE how you could experimentally differentiate between the following pairs of solutions
using a common aqueous test solution:
2.1. NaNO3 and NaHCO3
2.2. Pb(NO3)2 or KNO3
2.3. HCl or H2SO4
3. WRITE a balanced net ionic equation for each of the following aqueous metathesis reactions.
(Be sure to include all states, aq, s, l or g) CLASSIFY each reaction as a neutralization,
precipitation, or gas-forming reaction.
3.1. Hydrobromic acid and cesium hydroxide
3.2. Sulfuric acid and sodium carbonate
3.3. Cadmium chloride and sodium sulfide
