  • Lab Equipment Erlenmeyer Flask
    Lab Equipment Erlenmeyer Flask • Erlenmeyer flasks hold solids or liquids that may release gases during a reaction or that are likely to splatter if stirred or heated. Beaker • Beakers hold solids or liquids that will not release gases when reacted or are unlikely to splatter if stirred or heated. Graduated Cylinder • A graduated cylinder is used to measure volumes of liquids. Test Tubes • Test tubes are used to hold small amounts of liquid and to conduct small chemical reactions in. Test Tube Clamp • A test tube holder is useful for holding a test tube which is too hot to handle. Test tube and beaker Brushes • Test tube brushes are used to clean test tubes and graduated cylinders. • Forcing a large brush into a small test tube will often break the tube. Test Tube Racks • Test tube racks are for holding and organizing test tubes on the laboratory counter. Plastic racks may melt in contact with very hot test tubes. Spot Plates • Spot plates are used when we want to perform many small scale reactions at one time. We will use these many times during the year. Watch Glass • A watch glass is used to hold a small amount of solid, such as the product of a reaction. Glass Stir Rod • A glass rod is used to manually stir solutions. It can also be used to transfer a single drop of a solution. Funnel • A funnel is used to aid in the transfer of liquid from one vessel to another. • A funnel is used to separate a solid from a liquid Wash Bottle • A wash bottle has a spout that delivers a wash solution to a specific area.

  • Set up for Heating Kcl + Kcloз
    Set Up for heating KCl + KClOз Crucible with unknown mixture plus MnO₂ Extension clamp Bunsen Burner To Gas Line Set Up for heating KCl + KClOз by Ashley Kajioka is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License. Procedure: Obtain a porcelain crucible, crucible lid, and a clay triangle. Clean the crucible, removing any loose particulate matter, and check the crucible for cracks. It is not necessary to remove all debris from the crucible as most of it has been fused to the porcelain and cannot be removed. In you fume hood, set up the apparatus as shown in Figure 5. a . b. e. Figure 5: Crucible setup d. a. Ring stand b. Crucible lid c. Iron ring d. Clay triangle c. e. Crucible “Lab Instructions” by Ashley Kajioka is licensed under CC BY 4.0 Using your crucible tongs, practice the following techniques on the cool crucible: Lifting the lid from the crucible Placing the lid ajar so that the crucible is slightly open, but the lid will not fall off, as in Figure 5. Quickly, but gently, pushing the lid from its ajar position to completely cover the crucible Lifting the crucible, with its lid, from the clay triangle Carrying the crucible and lid while supporting from underneath with your wire gauze. Practicing these techniques may seem silly, but it is worth your time to do so. Would you rather repeat a trial because you dropped a crucible, shattering it into a million pieces? With your covered crucible in the clay triangle, fire the crucible for 3-5 minutes.

Approved July 25, 2008 1 2010 Mississippi Science Framework A SUGGESTED PATTERN FOR CHEMICAL STORAGE The alphabetical method for storing chemicals presents hazards because chemicals, which can react violently with each other, may be stored in close proximity. Schools may wish to devise a simple color-coding scheme to address this problem. The code shown below, reproduced with permission from School Science Laboratories-A Guide to Some Hazardous Substances by the Council of State Science Supervisors, includes both solid and striped colors which are used to designate specific hazards as follows: Red - Flammability hazard: Store in a flammable chemical storage area. Red Stripe - Flammability hazard: Do not store in the same area as other flammable substances. Yellow - Reactivity hazard: Store separately from other chemicals. Yellow Stripe - Reactivity hazard: Do not store with other yellow coded chemicals; store separately. White - Contact hazard: Store separately in a corrosion-proof container. White Stripe - Contact hazard: Not compatible with chemicals in solid white category. Blue - Health hazard: Store in a secure poison area. Orange - Not suitably characterized by any of the foregoing categories.

  • 20 Pts. Chemistry Lab: Writing Chemical Equations I
    Name(s): ________________________________________________ 20 Pts. Chemistry Lab: Writing Chemical Equations I. Purpose: To observe, predict, classify, and write balanced chemical equations that illustrate a chemical reaction. II. Procedure: 1. At each lab bench station follow the directions to perform the experiment. You must record all observations carefully. A significant portion of the grade is based on your ability to describe a chemical reaction in words as well as symbols. 2. Complete the rest of the table for each station's experiment. Classify as double displacement, single displacement, decomposition, synthesis, or combustion. Include phase notation in your balanced chemical equation. Clean up after each experiment. 3. Wear safety glasses! III. Analysis: Data: Station 1-a: Directions: Place 20 drops of ethyl alcohol in an evaporating dish. Cap and remove the bottle from the work area. Obtain a test tube that is dry on the outside and fill it 1/3rd full of cold water. Light a lighter and bring the flame close to the alcohol. Turn off lighter as soon as the alcohol ignites. With a test tube holder place the tube above the burning alcohol. Observe the outside of the test tube. Allow all of the alcohol to burn. Observation Classification Balanced chemical equation with phase not. Station 1-b: Directions: Place a scoopula of sodium hydrogen carbonate in a 150-ml beaker. Add 20-ml of vinegar (dilute acetic acid). Note the temperature of the beaker. "Pour" the gas (Not the liquid!) evolved from the reaction mixture onto the evaporating dish with the burning alcohol. Observation Classification Balanced chemical equation with phase not.

The viscometer was tested with Newtonian liquids (glycerine, water and two different oils) having known viscosities to insure that the viscometer was operating correctly. The shear stress-shear rate data obtained for different concen­ trations of CMC and Carbopol solutions were correlated using the simple power law model. The power law constants were only slightly affected by saturating the solution with iodine and carbon tetrachloride.
