I. Determining the Unknown Acid Sample Size

1. Calculate the mass of the unknown acid required for titrating the acid sample to the equivalence point. Mass of unknown acid is .06 g
2. Calculate the volume of NaOH solution required for titrating the acid sample to the equivalenc. Volume of NaOH solution, mL is 5.7 mL
3. From the mass of unknown acid and the volume of NaOH solution required to titrate it, calculate the mass of the unknown acid requiring 25 mL of NaOH solution for titration.

25mL (.06 g/5.7mL)
Mass of unknown acid requiring 25 mL of NaOH solution for titration, g
Is .263 g

III. Titrating the Unknown Acid

5. Calculate the mass of unknown acid titrated to reach the equivalence point of each titration.

Determination 1 Determination 2

6. From your spreadsheet program analysis, find the volume of NaOH solution required to reach the equivalence point for each titration.

Chem 115 Lab

To begin Lab 8 of Chem 115, half a gram of copper wire was weighed out using an analytical scale and the exact mass was recorded. Next, the wire along with 4-5 mL of concentrated nitric acid was added to a 250 mL beaker in the hood. Once the reaction was completed and the wire was completely gone, 100 mL of distilled water was added to the beaker and observations were recorded. Next, 30 mL of 3.0 M sodioum hydroxide was added to the beaker and any observation of the reaction was recorded. Following…

Part A: Sodium benzoate is used to preserve certain foods against bacteria, yeasts and molds and is used to prolong their shelf life. This compound, when ingested has the potential to mix with stomach acid and undergo a chemical reaction. In a lab, sodium benzoate can be combined with hydrochloric acid (HCl) to simulate the stomach environment. The purpose of this experiment is to determine when these two substances are combined, whether a new substance will be formed. It was predicted that…

titrations in part II and III. Once we determine that, we use it with the sets of titrations with NaOH. Both Marisa and I will equally do work for both parts I, II, and III. Part I - Acid-Base Titrations with Chemical Indicators We obtained a 24 chem well-plate, 40 mL of HCl, and 100 mL of NaOH. We cleaned out a buret with the base, NaOH. We then obtained three different indicators: Boomcreiol green, Methyl orange, and 1% Phenolphthalein. Using the well-plate we sorted the indicators into 3…

Keira Harris February 16, 2015 Step 1. Converting copper metal to copper nitrate. 1. Cut and weigh of copper wire until approximately 0.5g. 2. Record mass. 3. Place in a clean, dry 250 mL Erlenmeyer flask. 4. Measure 4-5 mL of concentrated nitric acid in a graduated cylinder. 5. In a fume hood, add the acid to the copper until it dissolves. 6. Swirl contents to dissolve copper. 7. If after 5 minutes it hasn't dissolved, gently warm on a hot plate or add 1-2 mL of nitric acid. 8. Swirl until…

II. Intro/Background Light is a continuous spectrum of frequencies and wavelengths. Depending on the size of the wavelength, its frequency will either be higher or lower. All light waves travel at the same speed. In this lab, you will be conducting an experiment to determine the effects that different color ultraviolet lights have on a glow star. III. Hypothesis We predict that the glow star will produce the color of the light that is shined on it. We predict this will occur because the waves…

Lab report Introduction- An ester is “any class of often fragrant organic compounds that can be represented by the formula RCOOR′ and that are usually formed by the reaction between an acid and an alcohol with elimination of water.” We set out to create these esters on our own by combining acids like acetic acid, butyric acid, and benzoic acid with certain alcohols like ethanol, methanol, or pentanol. Each had a unique smell, which we would try to determine by smelling each. Objective- To…

involves strong electrolytes are completely dissociated into ions in diluted solutions. In this lab both the base and acid were strong electrolytes. The heat of neutralization for all reactions involving strong electrolytes will be constant and the same amount of heat will be formed (Petrucci et al., 2011). Procedure The experimental procedure used for this experiment was outlined in the CHEM 120L lab manual, experiment #4. All steps were followed without deviation Observations Part A: Heat of dissolution…
