  • Experiment 5: Molar Volume of a Gas (Mg + Hcl)
    1 CHEM 30A EXPERIMENT 5: MOLAR VOLUME OF A GAS (MG + HCL) Learning Outcomes Upon completion of this lab, the student will be able to: 1) Demonstrate a single replacement reaction. 2) Calculate the molar volume of a gas at STP using experimental data. 3) Calculate the molar mass of a metal using experimental data. Introduction Metals that are above hydrogen in the activity series will displace hydrogen from an acid and produce hydrogen gas. Magnesium is an example of a metal that is more active than hydrogen in the activity series. The reaction between magnesium metal and aqueous hydrochloric acid is an example of a single replacement reaction (a type of redox reaction). The chemical equation for this reaction is shown below: Mg(s) + 2HCl(aq) è MgCl2(aq) + H2(g) Equation 1 When the reaction between the metal and the acid is conducted in a eudiometer, the volume of the hydrogen gas produced can be easily determined. In the experiment described below magnesium metal will be reacted with an excess of hydrochloric acid and the volume of hydrogen gas produced at the experimental conditions will be determined. According to Avogadro’s law, the volume of one mole of any gas at Standard Temperature and Pressure (STP = 273 K and 1 atm) is 22.4 L. Two important Gas Laws are required in order to convert the experimentally determined volume of hydrogen gas to that at STP. 1. Dalton’s law of partial pressures. 2. Combined gas law. Dalton’s Law of Partial Pressures According to Dalton’s law of partial pressures in a mixture of non-reacting gases, the total pressure exerted is equal to the sum of the partial pressures of the individual gases.

  • Use of Laboratory Equipement
    USE OF LABORATORY EQUIPEMENT C. Laboratory Thermometers Most thermometers are based upon the principle that liquids expand when heated. Most common thermometers use mercury or colored alcohol as the liquid. These thermometers are constructed as that a uniform-diameter capillary tube surmounts a liquid reservoir. To calibrate a thermometer, one defines two reference points, normally the freezing point of water (0°C, 32°F) and the boiling point of water (100°C, 212°F) at 1 tam of pressure (1 tam = 760 mm Hg). Once these points are marked on the capillary, its length is then subdivided into uniform divisions called degrees. There are 100° between these two points on the Celsius (°C, or centigrade) scale and 180° between those two points on the Fahrenheit (°F) scale. °F = 1.8 °C + 32 The Thermometer and Its Calibration This section describes the proper technique for checking the accuracy of your thermometer. These measurements will show how measured temperatures (read from thermometer) compare with true temperatures (the boiling and freezing points of water). The freezing point of water is 0°C; the boiling point depends upon atmospheric pressure but at sea level it is 100°C. Option 1: Place approximately 50 mL of ice in a 250-mL beaker and cover the ice with distilled water. Allow about 15 min for the mixture to come to equilibrium and then measure and record the temperature of the mixture. Theoretically, this temperature is 0°C. Option 2: Set up a 250-mL beaker on a wire gauze and iron ring. Fill the beaker about half full with distilled water.

Dissertation Adviser: Ann Pearson Elise Wilkes Chemostat and Modeling Investigations of Algal Photosynthetic Carbon Isotope Fractionation Abstract Marine eukaryotic phytoplankton produce organic matter that is depleted in 13C relative to ambient dissolved carbon dioxide. This photosynthetic carbon isotope fractionation (εP) is recorded in marine sediments and used to resolve changes in the global carbon cycle, including variations in atmospheric pCO2. These applications rely upon a coherent understanding of the environmental and physiological controls on P. While classical models for εP are based on the balance between diffusion of CO2 and its fixation into biomass by the enzyme RubisCO, the details of phytoplankton carbon dynamics in reality are more complex.

While many microbes on Earth are harmless, and can even be helpful to humans, some microbes can be unsafe. Microbes belong to a group all by themselves because they are neither plants nor animals. Because they can multiply extremely quickly, it is normal to find millions of them in the same location. Some microbes or “germs”, such as bacteria and mold, can grow on food, dirty clothes, and garbage that people produce. Microbes live on your skin, in your Astronaut Chris Hadfield taking microbe samples on the ISS. mouth, nose, hair, and inside your body. Microbes can also be found aboard the International Space Station (ISS). NASA scientists have reported that some germs on the ISS have different characteristics when grown in space compared to when they grow on Earth. The safety of the crew is of utmost importance. Therefore, cleanliness and proper disposal of garbage is an important part of living on the ISS. Scientists who study microbes are called microbiologists and microbiology is the study of microorganisms or microbes. The root word “micro” comes from Greek and means “small”. These microbes are so small that powerful microscopes are needed to be able to see them.
