Lab Final MC Flashcards
What pieces of information are needed for molecular weight?
- mass
2. number of moles
How can you determine number of moles of a gas?
pressure and volume at a specific temp
Water displacement method
can calculate volume of gas
How do you get mass of gas?
weigh the lighter before and after dispensing
analytical balance
measures to 0.0001 g
Pieces of information to record in fuel of a lighter
atmospheric pressure
temperature
mass of the gas
volume of the gas
2 forms of bromothymol blue
yellow and blue
Acid base reaction experiment
use bromothymol blue
add 0.1M HCl (acid) and 0.1M NaOH
HCl makes blue turn yellow
NaOH makes blue
What color is bromothymol blue at first?
green
Sodium alginate
polymer that builds cell walls of seaweed and kelp, used as a gel, thickens products
C6 H7 O6 Na
Calcium chloride
CaCl2
Synthesize calcium chloride overall formulas
calcium metal + water = calcium hydroxide
calcium hydroxide + HCl = calcium chloride
Molarity of HCl used to synthesis calcium chloride
3M
What happens when calcium chloride and sodium alginate interact?
Jelly like product
strands of sodium alginate are connected by Ca in middle
Molarity (M)
moles / volume
What happens when calcium metal is added to water?
bubbling fizzing, white grain on bottom
What does calcium solid look like?
Gray and flaky
What wavelength to use for urine absorbance?
470 nm
What is in urine that we measured?
phosphate
Error
measured value - true value
Random error
results from limitations of measurement device
has an equal chance of being positive or negative
statistical variation
take the average to reduce
Systematic error
bias in the system
may be either positive or negative
can be detected and corrected
Finding uncertainty
calculate % errors
then add calculated random error to find uncertanity in %
How to calculate random error
the uncertainity is half of the smallest division of a scale
Precision
refers to the closeness of replicate measurements
Alum
potassium aluminum sulfate dodecahydrate
KAl(SO4)2 * 12H20
Overall formulas of synthesis of alum
Al(s) + KOH (aq) + H2O = KAl(OH)4 (aq) + H2 (g)
oxidation-reduction reaction
KAl(OH)4(aq) + H2SO4(aq) + H2O = KAl(SO4)2*12H2O(s)
acid-base reaction
What happens when KOH is added in synthesis of alum?
white bubbles form
fizzing
turned slight gray
What happens when H2O is added in synthesis of alum?
Smoke forms
gray bubbling
dark gray layer on bottom
what happens in second part of synthesis of alum?
white kind of slush initially
became more clear
Qualitative analysis
the process of figuring out what something is by interrogating the qualities of the substance
