A Comparison Of 1.07 Mass Of Na2co3 And Filter

1513 Words7 Pages

Abstract The main goal of this lab was to find the percent yield of a chemical reaction in which copper (II) chloride and sodium carbonate react to make copper (II) carbonate and sodium chloride. A solution of sodium carbonate and copper (II) chloride solutions were mixed to start the reaction. Then, a paper filter had to be used to separate the copper (II) carbonate precipitate from the rest of the mixture. The experiment determined the actual percent yield of 77.2%. Introduction: The percent yield can give the ability to show the progress of a reaction and see how a chemical reaction worked in an experiment. To find the percent yield and see how well the reaction worked, the actual yield and the theoretical yield can be used. This …show more content…

Qualitative Data: Prior to combining the solution CuCl2 was a transparent blue and Na2CO3 was clear While combining the solutions CuCl2 and Na2CO3, the solution became a cloudy blue After filtering the a dry blue powder was left inside the filter paper and a clear solution had drained through the paper filter. Calculations: Molar Mass and Number of Moles of Reactants CuCl2 and Na2CO3 Molar Mass of CuCl2 = 63.55g Cu + (2 35.45g Cl) Molar Mass of CuCl2 = 134.45g CuCl2 Molar Mass of Na2CO3 = (2 22.99g Na) + (3 16.00g O) + 12.01g C Molar Mass of Na2CO3 = 105.99g Na2CO3 Moles of CuCl2 = Mass of CuC = 9.72 10-3 mol Limiting Reactants : CuCl2 and Na2CO3 Molar Mass CuCO3 = 63.55g Cu + 12.01g C + (2 16.00g O) Molar Mass CuCO3 = 123.56g Mass of CuCO3 = Moles of CuCl2 1Mole of CuCO3Moles of CuCl2Molar Mass of CuCO3Mole of CuCO3 Mass of CuCO3 = 7.96 10-3 mol11 mol1 mol123.56g1 mol Mass of Moles and Mass of the Precipitate Produced (CuCO3) Moles of CuCO3 = Moles of CuCl2 1Mole of CuCO3Moles of CuCl2 Moles of CuCO3 = 7.96 10-3 mol 11 mol1 mol Moles of CuCO3 = 7.96 10-3 mol Mass of CuCO3 = Moles of CuCl2 1Mole of CuCO3Moles of CuCl2Molar Mass of CuCO3Moles of CuCO3 Mass …show more content…

The results of the experiment indicate the limiting reactant to be the 1.07g CuCl2 and 0.984g to be the most CuCO3 that has the ability to be produced. The variation from one hundred percent yield could have caused various circumstances that could have affected the actual percent yield of the experiment. One potential source of error could be during the weighing of CuCl2 and Na2CO3. It is possible that some of the CuCl2 and Na2CO3 remained in the glass stirring rods. This would affect the accuracy of the measurements and change the balance of the reaction, leading to a lower percent yield. Another possible source of error could come from the complete filtration of the precipitate (CuCO3). This would lead to lower measurement of the mass of CuCO3 and filter paper and a lower overall percent yield. In future experiments, to eliminate errors in the percent yield, the experiment should include multiple trials for more reliable data and a close actual percent yield to 100 percent. The experiment could also be performed with a higher grade filter paper to ensure most precipitates do not pass through to the filtered solution, leading to a more precise measurement of the mass of CuCO3 and filter paper and an overall more accurate calculation of the actual percent yield. The measured percent yield may have been affected by the errors,

An error that could have been present during the lab includes not letting the zinc react completely with the chloride ions by removing the penny too early from the solution. For instance, the percent error of this lab was 45.6%, which was determined by the subtraction of the theoretical percent of Cu 2.5% and the experimental percent of Cu 3.64% and dividing by the theoretical percent of Cu 2.5%. This experiment showed how reactants react with one another in a solution to drive a chemical reaction and the products that result from the

As seen in table 1, the theoretical yield was .712 g of C_17 H_19 NO_3. The % yield of this experiment was 7.51 % of C_17 H_19 NO_3. . This low yield can be explained from a poor recrystallization technique combined with potential contamination. Throughout the experiment, the mixture changed color from green, orange, to yellowish lime, and eventually clear.

The percent recovery of the copper was calculated using the equation, percent recovery = (the mass of the copper recovered after all the chemical reactions/the initial mass of the copper) x 100. The amount of copper that was recovered was 0.32 grams and the initial mass of the copper was 0.46 grams. Using the equation, (0.32 grams/0.46 grams) x 100 equaled 69.56%. The amount of copper recovered was slightly over two-thirds of the initial amount.

The purpose of this lab will be to identify the percent yield of copper in the unbalanced equation _Al(s) + _CuCl2(aq) → _Cu(s) + _AlCl3(aq). This will be determined by cutting a piece of aluminium 9cm by 9cm, recording its mass in grams, preparing a copper (II) chloride solution using the weight tray and electronic scale to measure 5.0g of CuC12 and adding it to 100 mL of distilled water. Then, a stirring rod will be used to dissolve the piece of aluminium into the CuCl2 solution until it is no longer visible. Additionally, the mixture will be filtered using a filter paper (which was previously weighted) on a funnel and weighted after it is fully filtered. Furthermore, the chemical equation will be balanced, stoichiometry will be used to find

In conclusion, The results indicate that there was a yield greater than the initial amount. This could be caused by the rounding done when doing stoichiometry. Misinterpretations in the final experimental amount could be because of leftover aluminum wire. However, regardless of the yield being the greater amount, this experiment proves the Law of Conservation of mass.
