Glacial Acetic Acid Lab Report

Decent Essays
The procedure of the experiment includes two parts:
1. Determination of the Freezing Point of Glacial Acetic Acid: to record the temperature of acetic acid every 30 seconds until it reach 300 seconds (5 minutes).
2. Determination of the Molar Mass of an Unknown Compound: to record the temperature of the mixture between unknown solid and glacial acetic acid. After that, put the ice-water mixture into the tube and record the temperature every 30 seconds.

Pre lab questions:
1. Solute: dissolved substance into liquid to form solution.
Solvent: dissolving medium in a solution.
Solution: homogeneous mixture of two or more substances.
2. Safety rules for this experiment are wearing safety goggle all the time. Also, glacial acetic acid is toxic

A. NaCl i = 2
Kf = 1.860C/m m = 0.1m
∆Tf = iKfm = 2 x 1.860C/m x 0.1m = 0.3720C
Tf = Tf0 - ∆Tf = 00C – 0.3720C = -0.3720C
B. Glacial acetic acid i = 1
Kf = 1.860C/m m = 0.1m
∆Tf = iKfm = 1 x 1.860C/m x 0.1m = 0.1860C
Tf = Tf0 - ∆Tf = 00C – 0.1860C = -0.1860C
7. A. BaCl2 i = 3
Kb = 0.5120C/m
M = 0.1m
ΔTb = iKbm = 3*0.5120C/m*0.1m = 0.154 0C
Tb = Tb0 + ΔTb = 100 0C + 0.154 0C = 100.154 0C
B. Surcose i = 1
Kf = 0.512 0C/m m = 0.1 m
ΔTb = iKbm = 1*0.5120C/m*0.1m = 0.0512 0C
Tf = Tb0 + ΔTb = 100 0C + 0.0512 0C = 100.0512 0C
8. Supercooling is a cooling liquid below its freezing point without its changing to a solid. Stirring the liquid will help minimize supercooling.
9. Non-volatile is a substance that do not have to measure vapor pressure
Example: glucose and salt (NaCl)
Volatile is substances that have a measurable vapor pressure
Example: tolure, benzene
10. ΔTf = 3.9 0C
Kf = 20.4 0C/m
Mass of solute = 0.49 g
Mass of solvent = 20g m = ΔTf / Kf = 3.9 0C / 20.4 0C/m = 0.191 m
Moles of solute = molality * mass of solvent 0.191 m * 0.02 kg = 0.0382 mol
Molar mass of solute = mass of solute / moles of solute 0.49 g / 0.0382 mol =

    This experiment was designed to test what the limiting nutrient was in Loughberry Lake, as well as examine the trophic state of the lake. In order to find out what the limiting nutrient was, we performed a few different tests. We began with a secchi disk test to see the transparency of the water. Then, we took water samples that we later used to test the turbidity levels of the water after adding varying amounts of phosphorous and nitrogen.…

    When dry ice is put into water they start to reacting and boiling. That reaction is called sublimation. Sublimation is when something solid goes straight to gas skipping the liquid phase. So because the water is warm it heats up the dry ice which causes it to form a gas. The gas is carbon dioxide.…

    After starting with 30 mL of an unknown mixture of two solvents, fractional distillation and gas chromatography were used to identify the unknowns as acetone and toluene in a 1 to 2.04 ratio of acetone to toluene. Fractional distillation was first used to separate the unknown mixture into its components based on boiling point. Distillation refers to the method of separating components of a mixture through heating and cooling. Simple distillation, which is especially useful in the separation of less-volatile substances from volatile substances, such as sugar from water, can be used to separate a liquid-liquid mixture if the boiling points of the component liquids differ by more than 40-50°C. A plot of temperature versus volume for a simple…

    Introduction Density measures the volume that a given amount of mass takes up. Usually, density has grams per unit volume as a unit. To find the density of an object, the object has to be measured and its mass has to be divided by its volume. Often times, density is used to identify substances, since different elements have specific densities. This experiment is made up of two sections; the first section measures the density of water and the density of an unknown substance.…

    The Hot Ice Experiment

    • 2 Pages

    The theoretical concepts that underlie the Hot Ice experiment involve a supercooled, supersaturated aqueous solution becoming a solid. When a liquid is cooled beyond its freezing point but remains liquid is known as supercooling or undercooling, and being supersaturated occurs when the solutes in a solution exceed the saturation point. The sodium acetate in a supercooled state will rapidly change into a solid with the addition of physical energy or a nucleation site. During the transformation of the liquid supercooled solution into solid crystalline formation produces heat in an exothermic reaction, hence the name hot ice.…

    PURPOSE/QUESTION The question that we will answer using this laboratory report is, “How is the rate of dissolving sugar affected by changing the temperature of the water, changing the rate of stirring, and changing the size of the crystal?” The independent variable of each laboratory experiment is different, however they are all being changed to get consistent and effective results for one dependent variable. The three independent variables are the temperature of water, rate of stirring and size of the crystal and the dependent variable of the all the experiments is the rate of sugar dissolving. HYPOTHESES Below are the laboratory experiment hypotheses that we have formed as a group to figure out what will happen to the rate of dissolving under…
