Filter Distillation Lab

Decent Essays
Filter and decompression chamber experiment:
We filtered 225 mL of water using filter paper in the shape of a cone. We did this step twice.
We poured the water into a beaker.
Then we placed the beaker in the decompression chamber for 8 ½ minutes. Next we observed the water under a microscope.
The next day we put it back in the decompression chamber for 18 minutes.
Then we looked at the water under a microscope a second time.
Filter and Distillation experiment:
We filtered 225 mL of water using filter paper in the shape of a cone. We did this step twice.
We poured the water into a laboratory flask.
Then we put it over a bunsen burner with an upside down funnel on top with a tube attached to it. The end of the tube was placed in a beaker.

    According to PubChem, the boiling point of pure methanol at 1 atm is 64.7°C. Distillation is a liquid separation technique based on boiling points. The experiment performed at a lower pressure would cause a decrease in the boiling point of methanol. Boiling point is defined when the vapor pressure is equal to the atmospheric pressure. Thus, decreasing the atmospheric pressure will decrease the boiling point.…

    The purpose of this lab was to understand the Law of Conservation of Mass and how it works, using half of an Alka-Seltzer tablet, concealed in a water to fill the container, while a balloon sealed the top to keep it a closed system. The hypothesis was, if the Alka-Seltzer chemical reaction is a closed system, then the mass of the products will equal the reactants. The data did not support the hypothesis because the products were almost always a different mass to the reactants but only the last trial revealed that the mass of the reactants was equal to the products. Usually, the trials indicated a loss of mass until the third trial was done, which was a success. Since the experiment was a closed system, matter could not leave or enter.…

    When beginning the experiment we observed and recorded the appearance of the materials in use like instructed. We weighed our materials out on a tared scale and placed them all in their corresponding test tube. We mixed and centrifuged our solution all three times for the appropriate times and decanted them accordingly. After getting all our liquid we heated up until a white solid formed, waited for it cool…

    Unknown: Calcium Chloride

    The hypothesis was that unknown was calcium chloride. This conclusion came from a couple of sources of reasoning. First, a number of compounds were present in the lab, and one of those had to be the unknown. Second, the unknown was white and spherical in shape, and so these characteristics were examined for in the possible compounds. Compounds that were sand-like in texture or liquid in their present physical state were passed over since none of those compounds could be the unknown.…

    Method: In this experiment each group received 2 chicken eggs whose shells have been dissolved off. This gave us a differentially permeable membrane so that we can observe osmosis and what happens when the membrane is presented with different solutions. Since we did not know the concentration of the egg, we had to assume that it equaled the concentration of the membrane. We then had the ability to determine the concentration based off the assumption and the rate of osmosis.…

    Molar Volume of a Gas Lab The purpose of the lab was to do an experiment to determine the molar volume of hydrogen gas at standard temperature and pressure, or STP. To start the experiment, a beaker was filled with water and then a cage was created with a copper wire. A piece of magnesium was cut and placed inside the cage in order to keep the reaction going until all of the magnesium reacted with the hydrochloric acid. The eudiometer tube was filled with 15 mL of hydrochloric acid and water and then plugged with a one-hole rubber stopper that held the cage in place, ensuring that the magnesium would react with the excess hydrochloric acid.…

    The Thermodynamics of Potassium Nitrate Dissolving in Water Introduction: This experiment focuses on thermodynamics or the study of heat and molecular randomness. It helps illustrate how and why potassium nitrate (KNO3) dissolves in water. When it dissolves, it dissociates into potassium (K+) and nitrate (NO3-) ions. These ions can also recombine into solid potassium nitrate. This reaction can reach a state where concentrations of ions remain constant or Ksp; which stands for the equilibrium concentration for the solubility product.…
