LAB: One Tube Reaction Part 1
AP Chemistry LAB: One Tube Reaction Part 1 Objective: To monitor and document the chemical changes occurring in a single test tube containing a predetermined mixture of chemicals. Materials: test tube, iron nail, sodium chloride, copper (II) sulfate, distilled water, glass stirring rod, tissue paper, parafilm wax Procedures: 1. Label a test tube to identify your group 2. Fill approx. 1/3 of the test tube with copper (II) sulfate crystals. Gently tap the tube to allow the crystals to settle. 3. Using a glass stirring rod, carefully cover the crystals with a layer of Kimwipe tissue paper. 4. Slowly, and with as little disturbance as possible, add enough distilled water to just cover the paper and blue crystals. 5. Repeat the process for the sodium chloride, filling approx. 1/3 of the test tube. Gently tap the tube to allow the crystals to settle. 6. Push more tissue paper into the test tube on top of the white crystals. 7. Add enough water to cover the tissue paper and white crystals. 8. Obtain an iron nail and expose the surface by rubbing with sand paper. 9. Carefully slide the nail into the test tube. 10. Continue adding water until the nail is completely covered. 11. Cover the test tube with parafilm wax and record your Day 1 observations. 12. Return the test tube to the test tube rack. 13. Continue to monitor and record your observations for the next several days, as indicated in the data table. Data: 1. Complete the NFPA label for the two chemicals used in this lab.

Determination of the Identity of an unknown liquid Group # My Name The date My period Partner #1 name Partner #2 name Purpose: The purpose of this lab is to determine the identity of an unknown liquid by measuring its density, melting point, boiling point, and solubility in both water and alcohol, and then comparing the results to the values for known substances. Procedure: 1) Density determination Obtain a 10mL sample of the unknown liquid using a graduated cylinder Determine the mass of the 10mL sample Save the sample for further use 2) Melting point determination Set up an ice bath using a 600mL beaker Obtain a ~5mL sample of the unknown liquid in a clean dry test tube Place a thermometer in the test tube with the sample Place the test tube in the ice water bath Watch for signs of crystallization, noting the temperature of the sample when it occurs Save the sample for further use 3) Boiling point determination Set up a hot water bath using a 250mL beaker Begin heating the water in the beaker Obtain a ~10mL sample of the unknown in a clean, dry test tube Add a boiling stone to the test tube with the unknown Open the computer interface software, using a graph and digit display Place the temperature sensor in the test tube so it is in the unknown liquid Record the temperature of the sample in the test tube using the computer interface Watch for signs of boiling, noting the temperature of the unknown Dispose of the sample in the assigned waste container 4) Solubility determination Obtain two small (~1mL) samples of the unknown in two small test tubes Add an equal amount of deionized into one of the samples Add an equal amount of ethanol into the other Mix both samples thoroughly Compare the samples for solubility Dispose of the samples in the assigned waste container Observations: The unknown is a clear, colorless liquid.
