Original Mixture Lab

1225 Words5 Pages

In this experiment we took an original mixture and split into three components. By decanting and dissolving materials we were able to find the percentages of each material in the original mixture. From the results we found Sand and NaCl to be the majority of the mixture, however in reference to the Law of Conservation of Mass, we found a slight discrepancy in the final results. Introduction The purpose of this experiment was to determine the amount of each compound is found in the original mixture. Starting with a mixture of substances the components of the mixture should be able to separate. During this separation all of the components together should have the same mass as that of the starting mass of the mixture. According to the Law of …show more content…

Even if chemical reactions occur the total mass should stay the same. When doing this experiment there will be times when the mass of a sample cannot be found directly and the formula below will need to be used to find the sample’s mass. Formula 1 : Mass of sample= mass of evaporating dish with sample – mass of evaporating dish For completing this experiment the use of percentages will be used in order to determine the percent of each component in the total mixture. Below is the formula used in order to determine the percentages of each component of a mixture. Formula 2: % Component= 100% component mass (g) sample mass (g) Procedure First, we measured out the evaporating dish to find the mass. Then we added around 3 grams of our sample (2.832g exactly). Next we added the isopropyl alcohol to dissolve the Benzoic Acid. We filled the evaporating dish, stirred, and then decanted the sample into a 140mL beaker with a stirring rod. This …show more content…

This information is found in (Table 1). After that we dissolved the Benzoic Acid we received three masses once the substance was dried (Table 2). During the drying there were some problems with the substance sticking to the stirring stick possibly causing loss of material. With the lowest mass of the Benzoic Acid (25.805g) was taken and subtracted from the evaporating dish mass to find the mass of the sample (Table 5) (Formula 1). After the Sodium Chloride was dissolved into

Which was 117.60 grams for substance 1, 87.71 grams for substance 2, 54.7 grams for substance 3, 25.11 grams for substance 4. Once we finished weighing each unknown substance we started figuring out the g/mol mass of each compound that the substances could possibly be, which is how we got to Table #2 above. In order to find the g/mol mass of each of the compounds, we had to find the molar mass of each element, then multiply and add accordingly. I'll use K2SO4 as an example of how to calculate the molar mass of a compound. The elements in K2SO4 are Potassium, Sulfur, and Oxygen.

Hence in the sample only copper (II) chloride will dissolve leaving the sodium chloride behind once filtered through. The copper (II) chloride can then be obtained by evaporating the methanol; which has a boiling point of 65 degrees celsius whilst copper (II) chloride has a boiling point of 993 degrees celsius, thus allowing the methanol to be easily evaporated out of the solution eliminating concerns of the copper (II) chloride evaporating alongside the methanol. Purpose To investigate different methods of separating copper (II) chloride and sodium chloride in order to obtain the original masses of both substances.

In the lab “All That Glitters” the objective that was focused on during the lab was calculating the density, volume and mass of various substances. The method that was used in finding the volume of the samples is called the displacement method. This is a process where the volume of the water in the graduated cylinder is calculated before and after the sample is placed. In this lab, the goal of the experiment was to identify and come to consensus about what the unknown substance might be. For this experiment, the required materials were ten pre and post pennies, unknown sample, graduated cylinder, weigh boat, water, paper towels and a weighing scale.

Identify The Relationship Between Mixtures And Physical Differences

Since I was able to separate out the sand (SiO2), Ammonium Chloride (NH4Cl), and salt (NaCl) from a mixture using physical changes, it stands to reason that a mixture is composed of substances that have been physically combined; therefore, the mixture is able to be separated using physical changes. Furthermore, my second hypothesis, which states that I would be able to calculate the percentage of each substance and the approximate mass of each substance in the mixture if I measured the mass of the mixture before and after it goes through sublimation, filtration, and evaporation and subtracted the after values from the before values, is partially true. For one thing, I was able to find the masses of sand (SiO2), Ammonium Chloride (NH4Cl), and salt (NaCl) to be 6.158 grams, 1.222 grams, and 2.620 grams respectively. This is because I subtracted the measured before and after values for each substance as it was eliminated from the mixture through sublimation, filtration, and
