Bromocresol Green Equilibrium System Lab Report

547 Words3 Pages

The objective of the Bromocresol Green Equilibrium System Lab was to determine if the equilibrium constant, K, was a true constant at constant temperature. To determine this, the value of the constant was found at different concentrations of HIn, HIn-, and at varying pH, which was used to determine the concentration of H+. K was found using the equation K= [HIn]/([In-][H+]). In order to be a true constant, none of the values of K found should differ from the average by more than two standard deviations. The values of K for solutions 1-5 and U were 4.39E4, 4.53E4, 4.23E4, 4.70E4, 6.35E4, and 4.03E4 respectively. The average K for the lab was found to be 4.71E4 and the standard deviation was 8.302E3. The range then that all experimental values of K must fall under is 3.05E4 to 6.37E4. All experimental values of K for this trial fell within the range. Therefore, K can be determined a true constant. The pH of the solution does not affect the value of the equilibrium constant, K. K is a ratio of the concentrations of the products and the reactants. A change in pH is simply due to a change in the concentration of Hydrogen ions and hydroxide ions. A change in concentration merely causes a shift in equilibrium towards either the products or reactants. It does not however change the value of the equilibrium constant at constant temperature …show more content…

Because of this, the experiment was done at constant temperature. If solutions 1-5 had been done at different temperatures, there would not have been a way to determine the effect of the change in temperature on the magnitude of the equilibrium constant. In order to be able to determine the magnitude, the original K value would first need to be determined. Once determined and both temperatures were measured, an experiment could be done to determine the K of the second

This aqueous solution was then heated until all the dichloromethane evaporated off. An error could have occurred at this point in the experiment if the hot plate was too hot. If the hot plate was set above the boiling point of the ketone, the ketone could have evaporated of along with the dichloromethane. This would result in a lower percent yield of the ketone. To prevent this from happening, the hot plate should not exceed 130˚C, so no matter what ketone was isolated, it would not evaporated off.

How Fast Does Alka Seltzer Make Gas

The control in the experiment is water. Units used while timing the productivity of gas from an Alka-Seltzer tablet in different temperatures is, seconds. In order to find out if temperature controls the rate of chemical reaction, whether hot water is a more effective way to make the gas produce at a faster speed, it would be necessary to compare the results of different temperatures at the end of each trial. In order to do this the scientists will measure the volume of gas that is produced within a 10 second interval time after the tablet begins to react.

Alka Seltzer Bottle Dropped In Water Temperature Experiment

In the lab, it is assumed that the surface area is the same for every tablet during the experiment, however, it is a faulty assumption because the surface area can change very easily between trials. The experiment was conducted assuming the surface area of the Akla-Seltzer tablets was identical. If the surface areas of the Alka-Seltzer tablets are not equal, then the surface area is no longer a controlled variable. Surface area is one of the 6 factors that can affect the rate of reaction (same as temperature). If the surface area is no longer a controlled variable, this experiment is now measuring the effect of temperature and surface area on the reaction rate, rather than just measuring the temperature.

Stoichiometry Lab Report

The cylinder was adjusted to the water level because that kept the pressure on the tube and the water inside at a constant rate throughout the tube. If the graduated cylinder had not been adjusted, the test would have been introduced to a random error because it would have been a flaw that was always present and would affect the measurements of the experiment. When the unknown anti-acid was tested the first time, the results yielded a 40.2% yield of CO2. The second trial of part B was not as accurate due to using a mass of the unknown-acid that was too small for accurate results. The lack of accuracy came from a lack of precision which resulted in a human error because the amount that was broken off and selected for the trial was too small.

Introduction: In this assignment, I will be doing two experimentations on examining the impact of temperature on the Alka-Seltzer’s response time. The first experimentation that I will be doing involves some water that is room temperature. The second experimentation that I will be doing involves some water that is very hot. If I want to be able to figure out the impact of the temperature on water, I will have to document the time it will take for the Alka-Seltzer to go into solution.

The color spectrum ranges from blue to yellow, which means green is equilibrium. Photosynthesis takes in carbon dioxide which makes the solution less acidic and the color blue. Cellular respiration does the opposite by releasing CO2 from the broken down glucose. Therefore, the BTB solution turns from blue to yellow.

Bromohexane Lab Report

1111 Words | 5 Pages

The goal of the experiment is to synthesize a bromohexane compound from 1-hexene and HBr(aq) under reflux conditions and use the silver nitrate and sodium iodide tests to determine if the product is a primary or secondary hydrocarbon. The heterogeneous reaction mixture contains 1-hexene, 48% HBr(aq), and tetrabutylammonium bromide and was heated to under reflux conditions. Heating under reflux means that the reaction mixture is heated at its boiling point so that the reaction can proceed at a faster rate. The attached reflux condenser allows volatile substances to return to the reaction flask so that no material is lost. Since alkenes are immiscible with concentrated HBr, tetrabutylammonium bromide is used as a phase-transfer catalyst.

Acids are proton donors in chemical reactions which increase the number of hydrogen ions in a solution while bases are proton acceptors in reactions which reduce the number of hydrogen ions in a solution. Therefore, an acidic solution has more hydrogen ions than a basic solution; and basic solution has more hydroxide ions than an acidic solution. Acid substances taste sour. They have a pH lower than 7 and turns blue litmus paper into red. Meanwhile, bases are slippery and taste bitter.

There are multiple points both at 43°C and at 72°C which indicates that liquid was collected at these temperatures. Based on this information, it would appear that two different liquids were present in solution and that one liquid has a boiling point of approximately 43°C and that the other has a boiling point of approximately 72°C. The literature value boiling point for DCM in is reported to be about 40°C and it is about 80°C for cyclohexane. Based on the graph, DCM was collected from 4 ml to 22 ml, thus 18 ml of DCM was collected.

Buffer Lab Report

Introduction Buffer is a solution that resists a change in pH when bases or acid are added. Solutions that are acidic contain high concentrations of hydrogen ions (H+) and have pH values less than seven. Buffer usually consist of a weak acid, and its conjugate base or a weak base and its conjugate acid. The function of buffer is to resist the changes in hydrogen ion concentration as a result of internal and environmental factor. This buffer experiment is important so that we relies the important of buffer in our life.
