A student decides to set up an experiment that night before performing the experiment. A 0.40 g sample of sodium hydroxide in a 250 mL beaker that has a mass of 112.58 g. The beaker is allowed to stand open (exposed to air) for 24 hr. At that time, the student observes that the beaker contains a dry, white residue and the total mass of the beaker and the residue is 113.09 g. He proposes that a reaction must have occurred between the sodium hydroxide and the carbon dioxide in the air. The possible reactions are:

sodium hydroxide(s) + carbon dioxide( g) -> sodium carbonate (s)

sodium hyroxide (s) + carbon dioxide (g) -> sodium carbonate (S) + water (g)

sodium hydroxide (s) -> sodium oxide (s) + water (g)

Write the balanced chemical equations for the above reactions.

Determine the amount of solid product expected in each reaction.

Based on these calculations, which of the above reactions would you predict is correct? Show all the work including chemical equations and explain your choice. Thank you.

Experiment 8 – Air and the Ideal Gas Laws

This experiment will follow the procedure outlined in Experiment 8 in the lab manual. You may find it useful to review the Gas Laws in the lecture text before lab along with the lab manual Introduction, Theory and Procedure.

1. Define an ideal gas and how this definition is related to the Kinetic Molecular Theory of Gasses. Provide at least one citation for this question.

2. Define a real gas and how this definition is related to the Kinetic Molecular Theory of Gasses. Provide at least one citation for this question.

3. Discuss under what set of conditions a real gas is most likely to deviate from ideal behavior and why.

4. Using Equations 8.4 and 8.6, calculate the volume of 0.523 moles of water vapor at 300 K and 0.986 atm – you must show all work, including necessary unit conversions. Compare the value obtained from both equations and explain how your results compare to the theory discussed in the lab manual.

experiment: colligative properties

Water cannot be used as the solvent for this experiment. For what types of molecular substances - give specific examples - could water be used as a suitable solvent to determine a molecular weight?

Can water be used to determine the formula weights of all ionic compounds? What are the limitations, if any?

Why does the slope of the mixed solution continue to decrease rather than reaching a plateau like that observed for the pure liquid? Hint: When the solution freezes the solid is pure solvent.

Experiment 3: Charging by Contact and Induction
In this experiment, you will charge pith balls by contact and induction.

Materials
Electrostatics Kit
Masking Tape
Monofilament Line
Paperclip
Wooden Block with Slit     
*Metal Object (ex. Doorknob)

*You Must Provide  
  


Procedure
1.   Tear one small piece of masking tape from the roll (approximately 5 cm).
2.   Create a small, closed loop with the tape, leaving the sticky side on the outside of the loop.
3.   Secure the looped tape to one of a side of the wooden block adjacent to the side with the slit.
4.   Press the taped side of the wooden block onto a smooth wall (or the flat side of a counter or table top) with the slit pointing perpendicular to the wall and parallel to the floor.
5.   Unwrap the outer layer of a paperclip.
6.   Use the exposed end of the paperclip to poke a hole through the centers of two pith balls.
7.   Thread one end of the monofilament line through one of the pith balls. Tie a knot on the end that you threaded through to keep the pith ball on the thread.
Note: If the paperclip created a larger hole, three to five knots may need to be tied to secure the ball on the thread.
8.   Repeat Step 7 on the other end of the monofilament line with the other pith ball.
9.   Once the pith balls are secured on each end of the line, place the line in the slit of the wooden block. The pith balls should rest at the same height.
10.   Remove any charge from the acetate strip (wide and clear) by grabbing it with your hand or rubbing it on a metal object like a door knob. This is called grounding.
11.   Test for interactions between the acetate strip and both pith balls. Record observations of any interaction.
12.   Charge the acetate strip by rubbing it with the cotton cloth.
13.   Slowly bring the plastic strip close enough to the right pith ball so that it moves, but does not touch the plastic strip. Once movement of the pith ball is observed move the plastic strip away. Record your observations (e.g., how far away were the two objects, how fast did the pith ball move, in what direction did the pith ball move, etc.).
14.   Slowly bring the plastic strip close enough to the left pith ball so that it moves, but does not touch the plastic strip. Once movement of the pith ball is observed move the plastic strip away. Record your observations.
15.   Hold the monofilament line above the right pith ball and bring the ball into contact with the plastic strip.
16.   Let the pith ball hang again and bring the plastic rod close to, but without touching the right pith ball. What kind of interaction is observed? Record your observations in Post-Lab Question 3.
17.   Hold the line above the right pith ball and bring it close to the left pith ball. Observe what happens. Let the balls come into contact. How does that change the interaction?
18.   Grab the pith balls to ground them and take away any charge they may have.
19.   Charge the plastic rod again with the cotton.
20.   Hold the line above the right pith ball with your pointer and middle finger. Bring the right pith ball close to the plastic rod, but do not let them touch. This time touch the left side of the ball (the one opposite of the rod) with your thumb. Let the ball hang again. Bring the right pith ball close to the left pith ball. Observe what happens.
Observations

After step 10-14 we can see a movement off the balls in the direction of the plastic strip (after rubbing it with a cotton cloth). The balls moves as close as it can to the plastic strip (like 2-3 cm)
When we put the plastic strip close enough to the left pith ball it moves to the left

Step 16- they were attracted to each other (the ball and the plastic)
Step 17- the balls a little bit attracted to each other but not too much


Post-Lab Questions

1.   Explain why the pith balls were attracted to the charged plastic strip.

2.   State two observations that show the right pith ball was charged after it came into contact with the plastic rod.


3.   What did you observe as you performed Step 16? Use your results to explain what happened.


4.   Draw a diagram to show how Step 13 charged the right pith ball.


5.   What is the charge of each pith ball if they are attracted to each other? Explain your reasoning.

Experiment 2: Static Materials
In this experiment, you will investigate the phenomenon of static electricity of various materials.

Materials
Electrostatics Kit Materials
*Paper (Any Kind)
*Flat Work Surface     


  
Procedure
1.   Tear the paper into small pieces (approximately the size of a hole-punch) and scatter them in a small area on a table or flat surface.
2.   Choose one plastic strip (acetate [light blue and transparent], vinyl [no color and transparent], or polyethylene [white and translucent]) and one fabric (wool or cotton cloth) from the electrostatics kit.
3.   Quickly rub the fabric up and down the length of the plastic strip for approximately 20 seconds.
4.   Bring the plastic strip near the small, torn pieces of paper.
5.   Record observations about the amount picked up and behavior of the paper in Table 2.
6.   Repeat Steps 2 – 5 for five additional fabric and plastic combinations.

    Post-Lab Questions

1.   What happens when you bring the charged plastic strip near the paper pieces? Why does this happen?

2.   Draw a free body diagram of the forces acting on the piece of paper.

3.   Why does the electric force easily overcome the force of gravity and lift the paper off the surface without even touching the paper?

4.   Which of the materials pick up positive charge and which pick up negative charge? How did you determine this?

Experiment #2: An experiment run found that the two enantiomers of Isoflurane do not act the same as anesthetics, in that it took a smaller amount of one to produce the same anesthetic effect as the other. What is a chiral receptor? What roles do chiral receptors play in biological systems? Does the fact that the two enantiomers of Isoflurane do not act the same support or disprove the hypothesis listed above? Explain your answer
