Q

if you miss recording the time of the color fading what do you do?

A
  • add a few drops of NaOH in excess until the solution is a bright pink
    -     record     the new buret reading
  • record the time that the color fades
  • draw a single line through the data with the missing time. Do not erase

this will work once (maybe twice)
more than twice will require you to start the experiment over.

Q

What is the nuance of adding excess NaOH?

A
  • NaOH is added until the solution just turns a persistent faint pink
  • excess NaOH is then added and the solution turns a brighter pink. let’s say 12 drops.
  • the darker the pink….. the greater the excess of NaOH and the longer the reaction must run in order to consume the excess NaOH
  • because the rate of a reaction decreases over time, if the same amount of excess NaOH (12 drops) is added after each successive data point, the time required to consume the excess NaOH will steadily increase.
  • Therefore slowly decrease the number of drps of excess NaOH added after each successive data point

Q

4-5 minutes after the pink color has completely disappeared what do you do?

A
  1. while carefully swirling the solution, slowly add NaOH from the buret until the solution turns a persistent pink color
  2. add **several **drops in excess and re-stopper the flask. Your solution should be a brighter pink color.
  3. record the buret reading +/-0.1 mL
  4. Continue to swirl the solution, record the time (to the nearest second) when the pink color just completely disappears
  5. Repeat this cycle (steps 1-4) until a minimum of 10 data sets have been collected

Q

any excess reagents and the contents of the Erlenmeyer flask goes into the ____ waste container

A

21
Q

After recording the buret reading in the second line under ‘buret reading’ what do you do?

A
  1. Continue to swirl the solution, record the time (to the nearest second) when the pink color just completely disappears
  2. The time is recorded in the second line under the column ‘time expired’. DO NOT STOP THE TIMER. RECORD THE TOTAL ELAPSED TIME SINCE THE t-BuCl WAS ADDED.
22
Q

think about what is happening in the flask….

A
  • t-BuCl is added to the flask
  • the t-BuCl starts reacting with the water to produce HCl
  • every 1 mol t-BuCl produces 1 mol HCl (see screenshot)
  • we add NaOH until there is an excess of NaOh, the solutions turns pink
  • as the t-BuCl continues to react, more HCl is produced
  • the HCl consumes the excess NaOH
  • when the NaOH is completely consumed, the solution turns colorless
  • the moles NaOH consumed = the moles of HCl produced = moles of t-BuCl reacted
