  • 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.

  • Pouring Plates from Prepared Bottled Media
    Pouring Plates from Prepared Bottled Media Primary Hazard Warning Never purchase living specimens without having a disposition strategy in place. When pouring bottles, agar is HOT! Burning can occur. Always handle hot agar bottles with heat-protective gloves. For added protection wear latex or nitrile gloves when working with bacteria, and always wash hands before and after with hot water and soap. Availability Agar is available for purchase year round. Information • Storage: Bottled agar can be stored at room temperature for about six months unless otherwise specified. Never put agar in the freezer. It will cause the agar to breakdown and become unusable. To prevent contamination keep all bottles and Petri dishes sealed until ready to use. • Pouring Plates • Materials Needed: • Draft-free enclosure or Laminar flow hood • 70% isopropyl alcohol • Petri dishes • Microwave or hot water bath or autoclave 1. Melt the agar using one of the following methods: a) Autoclave: Loosen the cap on the agar bottle and autoclave the bottle at 15 psi for five minutes. While wearing heat-protective gloves, carefully remove the hot bottle and let it cool to between 75–55°C before pouring. This takes approximately 15 minutes. b)Water Bath: Loosen the cap on the agar bottle and place it into a water bath. Water temperature should remain at around 100°C. Leave it in the water bath until the agar is completely melted. While wearing heat- protective gloves, carefully remove the hot bottle and let it cool to between 75–55°C before pouring. c) Microwave: Loosen the cap on the agar bottle before microwaving.

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.
