Erlenmeyer Lab

Improved Essays
The boiling water bath was prepared and a boiling chip was placed in a 250 mL Erlenmeyer flask. The mouth of a flask was covered with aluminum foil. The Erlenmeyer flask was weighed (144.556 g) and 8 mL of the volatile liquid was poured into the flask. The Erlenmeyer flask was set in the boiling water bath to wait for the liquid to vaporize. The temperature was measured (98.2°C, 97.5°C, and 97.3°C) The flask will be held under cold tap water and vaporized liquid will return to a condensed liquid. The mass was recorded after the liquid was cooled (116.585 g, 116.185 g, and 115.990 g.) By adding 5 mL of your liquid to the flask a second and third trial are tested. The instructor provided us with the corrected barometric pressure (0.952

    The purpose of Mendeleev’s lab is to observe the physical characteristics and properties of common elements. In addition, observe arrangements and trends on the periodic table. Finally, the main goal is to draw conclusions and identify the locations of unknown elements based on given trends and properties. Through observing characteristics and trends, one is introduced to reading the periodic table and its elements, based on how it is arranged. Dmitri Mendeleev was a Russian scientist who is credited with creating the first periodic table.…

    In this lab procedure, lab groups were split by the type of lab procedure they would perform. Half the lab groups were tasked to perform simple distillation while the other half performed a fractional distillation. Before beginning the procedure for the fractional procedure, materials were gathered. The lab procedure with the lab manual called for a short neck round bottom flask; however, this was not followed during the actual lab. Instead, the long round bottom flask was used.…

    Heat water in a pan or beaker until it is boiling vigorously. While the water is boiling, measure the mass of your metal object, marking off your answer to one more decimal place than what the scale marks off. Once the water is boiling, drop the metal into the water, leaving it in for about five minutes to allow it to reach the temperature of the water (100.0 °C) Place one Styrofoam cup into the other. This will be your calorimeter.…

    Afterwards, the flask was filled with distilled water to the mark, so that the bottom of the meniscus is aligned with the ring in the neck of the flask. The filled flask was then weighted and the measure was recorded. Then, the distilled water was poured from the flask into a 50 ml beaker and its temperature was recorded. Once that was done, the flask was cleaned with an unknown solution provided by the instructor and then the flask was filled with the same unknown solution up to the mark. The flask was weighted and its mass recorded.…

    Intermolecular Forces

    INTRODUCTION The trends in physical properties of organic compounds such as boiling points and melting points can be deducted from their structures, including size (molecular weight, surface area), shape and functional groups. These factors significantly influence the strength of the intermolecular forces of attraction present; and the nature and strength of intermolecular forces determine the variations in boilingpoints of organic compounds. The boiling point of a liquid is the temperature at which its vapor pressure equals the external or atmospheric pressure. At this temperature, every molecules of the liquid acquire enough kinetic energy to overcome the intermolecular forces attracting them to the other molecules.…

    With these changes applied, if the experiment were to be tested again, it would be possible to determine whether copper or water calorimeters heat up quicker. These results give a good idea of the trends in properties of alcohols and they can be used to determine which are suitable for which purposes in industries today. The most efficient alcohols may be used as long as they’re not classified as unsafe, hazardous, or unsuitable for the task. With investigations like these,…

    If too much of the sample liquid entered the capillary tube, some was removed by lightly tapping the tube on a paper towel. In each of the capillary tubes the sample liquid was moved to the middle of the tube by lightly tapping it; once the liquid was in the middle both ends of the tube were sealed by plugging both ends with some Vaseline. The capillary tubes were then arranged in sequence along the tube holder with a space between the 3 groups. The alcohol bath was then prepared by placing dry ice into it in order to lower the temperature to around -15°C. Gloves or paper towels were used to handle the dry ice.…
