CH Jol-Principles of Chemistry I 1 DETERMINATION OF THE MOLAR MASS OF CARBON DIOXIDE INTRODUCTION Molar masses of gases can be determined in a number of ways, many of them indirect. In this experiment you will find the molar mass directly, using a measured mass of a dry CO2 sample, its volume, its temperature, its pressure, and the Ideal Gas Law. You will generate your CO2 sample from the action of hydrochloric acid on marble chips, a form of calcium carbonate. CaCO3(s) + 2HCl(aq) → CaCl2(aq) + H2O(l) + CO2(g) You will do this in the apparatus shown below. CaC12 drying tube Fla sk 1 Fla sk 2 Figure 1 Carbon dioxide will be generated in flask 1 from the addition of 6M hydrochloric acid to marble chips covered with water in the bottom of the flask. The continuously generated gas will be forced from the flask into a drying tube filled with anhydrous calcium chloride pellets which will absorb any water carried by the CO2. The dry CO2 leaves the drying tube and flows through flask 2, flushing out air and carbon dioxide as it does so. The arrows on the apparatus show the path of CO2 flow. The flow of CO2 through flask 2 will be continued for 10 minutes in order to make sure that there is only CO2 in flask 2. At this point, you will collect the data needed to calculate the molar mass of the gas as follows: 2 Pressure of the Gas Sample (P) Since the gas is being generated in a generator open to the atmosphere, the pressure of the gas sample will be the same as the atmospheric pressure measured with a barometer. Temperature of the Gas Sample (T) The gas temperature will be determined in degrees Celsius using a conventional thermometer. This temperature will be converted to Kelvins for use in the Ideal Gas Law. Volume of the Gas Sample (V) Since gas samples always fill their containers, the volume of the gas sample will equal the volume of flask 2 plus the volume of its stopper assembly (stopper and both glass tubes). You will determine the volume of the flask-stopper system by filling the flask-stopper system with water and weighing it. By subtracting the mass of the flask-stopper system filled with air from the flask-stopper system filled with water, you obtain the mass of the water in the system. (Actually this subtraction gives you the mass of water in the flask minus the mass of the air included in the mass of flask-stopper system. However, the mass of the water filling the flask is so much greater than the mass of air that previously filled the flask, that the mass of the water minus the mass of the air is essentially equal to the mass of the water. The mass of the air filling the flask is essentially negligible when subtracted from the mass of the water filling the flask.) The density of liquid water varies with temperature and has been tabulated in many reference sources, but has a value of 1.000 g/mL up to a temperature of 23.1oC. The volume of the water can be determined from the mass of the water and the density of water at the experimental temperature. The volume of the gas sample is equal to this volume of the water. Mass of the Gas Sample (m) You will obtain the mass of the CO2 sample by subtracting the mass of the empty flask- stopper system from the mass of the flask-stopper system filled with CO2. The mass of the empty stopper-flask system is a little tricky to find, since all of the masss of the stopper-flask system have included mass of water, air or CO2. You will have to find the mass of the empty flask indirectly. One way to do this is to find the mass of the air in the flask-stopper system when you weighed it and subtract it from the mass of the flask-stopper system filled with air. To find this mass of air, you will take advantage of the relationship between density, volume and mass. mass density= (Eq. 1) volume When utilizing this relationship for a gas, both the volume and the density of the gas sample must be known at the same temperature and pressure. You will know the volume of air at a nonstandard T and P and the density of air at standard T and P (1.292 g/L at STP). You will have to convert one of these parameters (density or volume of air) to the conditions of the other parameter to find the correct mass of the air in the flask-stopper system. Subtraction of the mass of air from the mass of the flask-stopper system filled with air gives the mass of the 3 empty flask-stopper system. Subtraction of this mass from the mass of the flask-stopper system filled with CO2 gives you the mass of the CO2 sample collected. Using one commonly used forms of the Ideal Gas Law, it should be a simple task to calculate the molar mass of CO2: M = mRT (Eq. 2) PV where M is molar mass, m is mass in grams, and the other symbols have their usual significance. PROCEDURE The apparatus you will use is sketched on the first page of this handout. Flask 2 is a clean and dry 125-mL Erlenmeyer flask equipped with a 2-hole rubber stopper containing two tubes bent at right angles. One of these tubes extends to the bottom of flask 2, the other extends to just below the bottom of the stopper. Attach a drying tube, filled with chunks of anhydrous calcium chloride held loosely in place by plugs of cotton, to a ring stand. Connect the bulb end of this drying tube to the longer bent tube in flask 2, using a short piece of rubber tubing. Then attach the shorter of flask 2’s bent tubes to the vacuum connection in the lab. This will pull air through the drying tube and through flask 2. Let this continue for two minutes. The purpose of this step is to make certain that flask 2 is filled with dry, room temperature air. While this is being done, prepare generator flask 1 using a second 125-mL flask as the generator, and add approximately 30 grams of marble chunks. Insert a 2- hole rubber stopper containing a thistle tube and a short, right angle tube. The thistle tube must extend to near the bottom of the flask. Add approximately 20 mL water to the flask so that the bottom of the thistle tube is covered. The generator flask 1 is now ready for the experiment. By this time, flask 2 is ready as well. Disconnect flask 2 from the vacuum and from the drying tube. Immediately, to prevent any moist lab air from entering the flask, plug the two tubes in flask 2's stopper with rolled up plugs of plastic film (Parafilm). Weigh flask 2, its stopper, glass tubes and two plastic film plugs to the nearest milligram. (Keep the plastic plugs for subsequent weighings). From this point on, do not use your hands to handle flask 2. Handle with crucible tongs, so as not to add the mass of oils and crud from your fingers to this accurately known mass. Record this mass in the Data and Calculation Sheet. Attach generator flask 1 to the drying tube to flask 2 as shown in the diagram. Be sure that all stoppers are tight. Ask your instructor to check your apparatus before going on. Begin to add 6M HCl to the generator flask through the thistle tube. A 10 mL portion is sufficient for a start. Foaming indicates that CO2 is being formed. You must not allow the generator to stop producing CO2 because you do not want any air to diffuse back into flask 2 through the open tube on flask 2's stopper. You can verify that CO2 is still being produced by covering the open tube on flask 2 with your finger. If CO2 is being generated, liquid will rise up the thistle tube. Check frequently for CO2 generation, and add more 6M HCl as needed. After generating dry CO2 and passing it through flask 2 for at least 15 minutes, disconnect flask 2 and plug the two tubes with your plastic film plugs. Weigh 4 flask 2, its stopper assembly and its CO2 to the nearest milligram and record this in your notebook. After removing the plastic plugs, reattach flask 2 to the generator flask, and generate dry CO2 for another 10 minutes. At the end of this time, again disconnect flask 2, replug its tubes and weigh it again. The two successive CO2 flask weighings should differ by no more than 4 mg (0.004g). If they differ by more than 4 mg, generate more CO2 through flask 2 until two successive weighings of flask 2 filled with CO2 differ by no more than 4 mg. At this point remove the stopper from flask 2 and measure the temperature of the CO2. Also obtain the barometric pressure for the day. Record these data in the Data and Calculation Sheet. Finally, fill flask 2 to the brim with water. Insert the stopper with its glass tubes tightly into the flask. With an eyedropper fill the glass tubes with water and plug them. There should be no air bubbles anywhere in your apparatus. Weigh flask 2 and its stopper full of water and record this mass in the Data and Calculation Sheet.

It has been a few years since the publication of the first edition of Spectro Scientific’s In-Service Oil Analysis Handbook. Our original goal was to compile a comprehensive reference book of common in-service oil analysis techniques to help readers understand and choose the right technique and instrumentation for their needs. We had to limit the scope in the first two editions because of the amount of effort needed to cover all the topics. In-service oil analysis for condition based maintenance covers a wide array of topics. I am pleased to say that in this third edition, we are much closer to our goal. We reorganized the structure of the content for better clarity and we added articles to cover more topics and instruments associated with oil analysis. Also, we rewrote several articles including the latest developments on the market. As we learned more from our customers about their successes using on site oil analysis, we developed case studies that you can find in this edition. This work is not possible without the time and effort from the contributing authors: Patrick Henning, Daniel Walsh, Robert Yurko, Ken Caldwell, Thomas Barraclough, Maria Bartus, Randi Price, John Morgan, Aifeng Shi and Yuegang Zhao from Spectro Scientific and Ray Garvey from Emerson Process Management.

  • Durridge RAD H2O User Manual
    RAD H2O Radon in Water Accessory for the RAD7 User Manual INTRODUCTION Te RAD H2O is an accessory to the RAD7 that enables you to measure radon in water over a concentration range of from less than 10 pCi/L to greater than 400,000 pCi/L. By diluting your sample, or by waiting for sample decay, you can extend the method's upper range to any concentration. Te equipment is portable and battery operated, and the measurement is fast. You can have an accurate reading of radon in water within an hour of taking the sample. Te RAD H2O gives results afer a 30 minutes analysis with a sensitivity that matches or exceeds that of liquid scintillation methods. Te method is simple and straightforward. Tere are no harmful chemicals to use. Once the procedure becomes familiar and well understood it will produce accurate results with minimal effort. It is assumed that the user has a good, working knowledge of the RAD7. If both the RAD7 and the RAD H2O are new to the user, then time should be spent learning how to make good measurements of radon in air with the RAD7 before embarking on radon in water measurements. Instructions for RAD7 operation with the RAD H2O are given in this manual but, for more detail about the instrument and its use, the reader is referred to the RAD7 manual. Grateful acknowledgment is made of the signifcant contribution to this manual by Stephen Shefsky, who wrote most of the original NITON RAD H2O manual, much of which is incorporated in this version.

  • The Bottomless Bottle Explosion Properties of Hydrogen SCIENTIFIC
    The Bottomless Bottle Explosion Properties of Hydrogen SCIENTIFIC Introduction Generate hydrogen gas using aluminum metal and sodium hydroxide and ignite. Something interesting will happen! When an empty, bottomless soda bottle is filled with hydrogen and the gas ignited, the hydrogen will burn with the flame decreasing in size. After awhile, the reaction will whistle. Suddenly, the hydrogen will explode with water vapor condensing on the inside surface of the bottle. Concepts • Hydrogen gas • Combustion • Stoichiometric ratio Materials Calcium chloride, anhydrous or Drierite® Ring stand and clamp Sodium hydroxide solution, NaOH, 5.5 M, 50 mL Rubber tubing, 3–4 ft, 3⁄16″ ID × 1⁄16″ wall Aluminum foil Stoppers, one-hole, to fit flask, bottle, and drying tube Bottle, water or soda, tall Tubing, 5–6 mm, 1½″ long piece Butane safety lighter Tubing, Pyrex® glass, 2″ long piece Cotton puff Volumetric flask, 500-mL Drying tube Safety Precautions This is not a demonstration for the inexperienced teacher. The production of the hydrogen is dangerous. Hydrogen is a very flammable and potentially explosive gas but can be safely handled with proper safety procedures. Never generate hydrogen in a closed system; always make sure there are no plugs or blockages in the system. Remove all sources of sparks, flames, and heat from the area where hydrogen gas is produced or used. Sodium hydroxide is very corrosive to all body tissues, especially eyes. Wear chemical splash goggles, chemical- resistant gloves, and a chemical-resistant apron. The reaction between sodium hydroxide and aluminum starts slowly and then proceeds rapidly with the production of excessive heat.

  • Grignard Synthesis of Triphenylmethanol Reactions That Form Carbon-Carbon Bonds Are Among the Most Useful to the Synthetic Organic Chemist
    1 Experiment 12: Grignard Synthesis of Triphenylmethanol Reactions that form carbon-carbon bonds are among the most useful to the synthetic organic chemist. In 1912, Victor Grignard received the Nobel prize in chemistry for his discovery of a new series of reactions that result in the formation of a carbon-carbon bond. A Grignard synthesis first involves the preparation of an organomagnesium reagent via the reaction of an alkyl bromide with magnesium metal: δ– δ+ R Br + Mg R MgBr The resulting “Grignard reagent” acts as both a good nucleophile and a strong base. Its nucleophilic character allows it to react with the electrophilic carbon in a carbonyl group, thus forming the carbon-carbon bond. Its basic property means that it will react with acidic compounds, such as carboxylic acids, phenols, thiols and even alcohols and water; therefore, reaction conditions must be free from acids and strictly anhydrous. Grignard reagents will also react with oxygen to form hydroperoxides, thus they are highly unstable when exposed to the atmosphere and are generally not isolated from solution. For a variety of reasons, anhydrous diethyl ether is the solvent of choice for carrying out a Grignard synthesis. Vapors from the highly volatile solvent help to prevent oxygen from reaching the reaction solution. In addition, evidence suggests that the ether molecules actually coordinate with and help stabilize the Grignard reagent: Et Et O R Mg Br O Et Et The magnesium metal used in the synthesis contains a layer of oxide on the surface that prevents it from reacting with the alkyl bromide. The pieces of metal must be gently scratched while in the ether solution to expose fresh surface area so that the reaction can commence.

  • Overcoming Challenges in Liquid Dispensing by Using the Right Accessories for Bottletop Dispensers Hanaë A
    WHITE PAPER No. 38 Overcoming Challenges in Liquid Dispensing by Using the Right Accessories for Bottletop Dispensers Hanaë A. Henke, Eppendorf AG, Hamburg, Germany Executive Summary In this white paper we give some detailed examples of the beneficial use of the correct accessory with bottletop dispensers and show the possibilities beyond simple single stroke dispensing. Bottletop dispensers are used for multiple applications in the laboratory. Special materi- als must be used for parts getting in direct liquid contact to ensure high chemical resistance against aggressive solutions such as acids, bases and solvents. Additionally special adapters made from ETFE increase the chemical stability. Accessories such as a drying tube protect fuming acids from dilution or alkaline solutions from the forma- tion of carbonates and can be easily attached to bottletop dispensers. The usage of a sterile filter on the bottletop dispenser ensures sterility of the medium in the bottle. Figure 1: A bottletop dispenser with attached flexible discharge tube facilitates filling of small vessels or reagent tubes in a rack. Introduction In almost every laboratory worldwide challenging liquids bottletop dispenser can speed up the workflow and reduce such as acids, bases and solvents are used for various risk of contamination. At the same time usage of less plastic applications. Additionally some liquids need to be sterilized consumables, such as tips, by direct dispensing out of the in advance and kept sterile during dispensing. In routine bottle comes with the benefit of protecting the environment tasks where always the same volume of liquid is required, and saving money. bottletop dispensers can be used to facilitate and accelerate With four exemplary applications with a high demand for work.

    CH 2020 Diels-Alder Reaction: Preparation of a Butadiene Adduct from 3-Sulfolene (adapted from Organic Chemistry: A Short Course, H. Hart, L. E. Craine, D. J. Hart, and T.K. Vinod 13th ed. Houghton-Mifflin, Boston, 2012.) Reference: Bruice, P.Y.,Seventh Edition, Chapter 8. Materials From the Chemicals Hood: From the Stockroom (Blue Bin): 3-Sulfolene ½” “pea-sized” stirbar Reflux condenser Maleic anhydride Stirbar retriever Xylenes Toluene Petroleum ether (60 – 90 °C) 25 mL round-bottom flask Calcium chloride drying Cork ring tube with adapter (2) Wire clips Small metal clamp Introduction The Diels-Alder reaction is a one-step reaction of a conjugated diene and a dienophile, which is reversible. The general reaction and mechanism is depicted in Figure 1. The reaction is the 1,4- addition of an electrophile and a nucleophile to a conjugated diene. However, unlike other 1,4- addition reactions you may have seen, the Diels-Alder reaction is a concerted reaction: the addition of the electrophile and the nucleophile occurs in a single step. This works well because both of the organic substrates are symmetrical. Figure 1. The Diels-Alder reaction to form cis-4-cyclohexene-1,2-dicarboxylic anhydride We will be using 3-sulfolene in our Diels-Alder reaction. 3-Sulfolene thermally decomposes to give the 1,3-butadiene reactant as shown in Figure 2: Figure 2. Thermal decomposition of 3-sulfolene to 1,3-butadiene Procedure Into a 25 mL round-bottom flask, combine 2.0 g 3-sulfolene, 1.2 g powdered maleic anhydride, and a ½” stirbar. Using a pipet, add 1.0 mL xylenes.
