The purpose of this experiment is to determine the pH of known substances by use of a pH color indicator of red cabbage and the use of a pH meter. As well as, to observe the pH changes in a substance by adding in more basic of acidic to buffered solutions and unbuffered solutions. This experiment will also will show how to calculate H3O+, OH- and pH by use of known values. In order to do this lab, there are a few key components one needs to know and understand first.…
The valves were set up so that the water would flow from Tank 2, through the ½” nominal diameter, type L copper pipe, through the needle valve WV5 (Appendix A), and back to Tank 2. WV5 was initially closed. The Honeywell STD 924 DP meter’s pressure tap lines were placed at PT 1, just before the P-1 Sterlings Fluid System Peerless Pump PE50B1, and PT 10, just after WV5. A Fluke 179 multimeter was attached to the DP electrical box. The multimeter was set to read electrical signal in the form of DC current with units of mA.…
The main objective of this lab was to collect 〖Co〗_2 gases that were given off by the Alka-Seltzer tablets and to identify experimental masses. The volume of gas was 724 liters, or 723.86 cm and the experimental mass was .0894 grams. A balance scale was used before and after the reaction to record the change in overall mass. First, using the scale, the flask, balloon, and Alka-Setlzer tablets were measured, 259.4 ±.05 Grams were found. What created the “〖Co〗_2 gases to be trapped” were the crushed Alka-Seltzer tablets that went into the flask that contained water.…
Materials. Numerous substances in the experiment were used. The most frequently used was the unknown due to the need to test its physical and chemical qualities. When a solution of the unknown was made, 1.000 g of the unknown and 1.0 mL of water was used to make it. To test for the possible ions, 1.0 mL of silver nitrate and 1.0 mL of nitric acid were used for the ion test.…
The goal of this lab was to find the molar sucrose concentration at equilibrium. Which is when the potato core and the sucrose solution reach equilibrium, so that no water is entering or leaving the cell. After collecting the data, the line of best fit never crossed the x-axis or showed where the molar sucrose concentration at equilibrium. I had to extrapolated the point at which it crossed the x-axis. This led to the data being unreliable because there is no physical evidence present that shows the psi of the solute.…
Experimental Conditions It is important to note that in our lab experiment we used galena, PbS, with 170 – 200 mesh (i.e. there were 170 to 200 wires per inch of sieve used to sort out the galena crystals). This means our diameter range of our particle size was 75-90 μm. Table 1:Experimental Conditions for PbS leaching FeCl3·6H2O (g) to be added is found by: The weight of FeCl3·6H2O (g) added in our experiment was slightly larger than the theoretical amount of FeCl3·6H2O needed, as can be seen from the example equation below:…
This experiment will allow us to determine the molar mass of the unknown solute through calculating the difference in freezing point of the pure solvent and the solution with the unknown solute. This lab will show case one of the colligative properties of a solution. This property is dependent upon the number of solute molecules or ions and not the identity or chemical property of the solute. A common example is water which both freezes and melts at 0…
Introduction This accuracy lab of titration report experiment will discuss how to find the unknown substance molarity. By using some of the lab equipment to help guide and identify the molarity of the unknown substance. I believe that it will take around three hundred drops of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) for it to be able to reach to its endpoint of the unknown substance. My reason behind my hypothesis is… Methods…

The focus of this lab was to identify an unknown organism based on its characteristics and the results from each of the tests. There will be various of test to choose from in order to identify the unknown organism, which will eliminate numerous possibilities and narrow it down to one. All the fundamental skills that we have learned and practiced in the lab will be used to perform on our unknown such as aseptic technique, microscopic examination, the use of differential media, and determining if it’s positive or negative. Performing aseptic techniques is the most crucial step that requires the utilizing of transferring, inoculating, and storing bacterial cultures and media. Aseptic technique is defined as procedures that prevent contamination…

A possible error can happen when you put the rubber stopper back onto the Erlenmeyer flask. If you do not secure the stopper onto the flask there may be room for the Hydrogen gas to escape which would significantly change the results of the experiment. With altered results the final conclusion of the experiment would be inaccurate which would render the experiment obsolete. Another possible source of error is if you allow oxygen to go to the top of the gas collector and forget to record the volume that it takes up.…
7. If during the experiment an air bubble leaked into the eudiometer tube while it was being inverted in the water bath than the measured volume of hydrogen gas would be off. Ultimately the measured volume of hydrogen gas would be too high because the gas being recorded would not only include hydrogen gas, but the air that leaked into the eudiometer as well. Because the volume of hydrogen gas would be too high the calculated molar volume of hydrogen would also be too high. This is because to find the calculated molar volume of hydrogen you divide the recorded volume of hydrogen gas by the theoretical number of moles of hydrogen.…
When comparing the same substance under different conditions, the combined gas law can be mathematically written as (P"1" V"1" )/T"1" = (P"2" V"2" )/T"2" . Since the conditions of the experiment were not at standard temperature and pressure, the combined gas law is required in order to calculate the corresponding volume of hydrogen gas at STP. Single displacement reactions were also…
Gravimetric Analysis of a Metal Carbonate Purpose The purpose of this lab is to find the mass of an unknown metal by conducting a double-displacement precipitation reaction, which is our gravimetric analysis. Once we find the precipitate mass, we can then find the molar mass by using the molar ratio given in the reaction equation. Procedure First, we set up the ring stand with a Bunsen burner, put a crucible on top of the pipe stem triangle and heated the crucible for a minute, then let it cool down.…
