Stoichiometry LAB /10 Name: _____________________________________ Date_________________ Period: _______ Stoichiometry of a Precipitation Reaction Purpose: To use stoichiometry to predict how much CaCO3 will form from a given amount of Na2CO3 in the presence of excess CaCl2. Pre-Lab Questions: 1. Balance the following equation: (1 pt) ____Na2CO3(aq) + ____CaCl2(aq) → ____NaCl(aq) + ____CaCO3(s) 2. Calculate the molar mass of Na2CO3 (1 pt) 3. Calculate the molar mass of CaCO3 (1 pt) Cart Materials: Cabinet Materials: • Na2CO3, 4-5 grams • Metal scoopula • CaCl2, 1M, 60 mL • Weighing boats, 2 • Filter paper, 8-inch • Graduated cylinder, 100 mL • Wash bottle of H2O • Beaker, 250 mL • Distilled water, 150 mL • Stirring rod • Electronic balance • Erlenmeyer flask, 500 mL • Funnel Day 1 Procedure: (2 pts) 1. Put on your goggles. 2. Use a scoopula and weighing boat to get about 4 scoops of Na2CO3 crystals. 3. Zero a different weighing boat on the balance. Use the scoopula to measure out between 4.00 – 5.00 grams of Na2CO3. It does not matter what the exact mass is as long as it is between those numbers. copy number below too Mass of Na2CO3 = _______________4.50 g 4. Calculate: How many grams of CaCO3 should form if _____4.50_________ g grams of Na2CO3 react with an excess of CaCl2? 5. Send one person up to Ms. Meves with all group members’ papers so she can check them. (3 pts) (2 pts) (1 pts) (0 pts) Stoichiometry LAB 6. Use a 250-mL beaker to get about 160 mL of distilled water (from the jug, not from the wash bottles!). Use a graduated cylinder to measure 150 mL of distilled water. Dump any excess water out of your 250-mL beaker and pour the measured 150 mL of water into the 250-mL beaker. 7. Slowly add the Na2CO3 from step 1 into the beaker of water. Use the scoopula to scrape all solid out of the weighing boat. Use a stirring rod to stir until all Na2CO3 has dissolved. There may be crystals on the bottom that will not dissolve no matter how long you stir…that is ok, you can move on. 8. Use a 100-mL beaker to get about 70 mL of CaCl2. Use the graduated cylinder to measure 60 mL of the CaCl2 solution. MAKE SURE EVERY MEMBER OF YOUR GROUP IS WATCHING FOR THE NEXT STEP! 9. Carefully pour the 60 mL of CaCl2 from the graduated cylinder into the beaker of Na2CO3. 10. Use the stirring rod to stir the liquid so that all ions react. 11. Write your name and period on the edge of the filter paper. Use the electronic balance to find the mass of your filter paper: Filter Paper = __________2.00 g ___ 12. Put the funnel in the top of a 500-mL Erlenmeyer flask. Put the filter paper into the funnel. 13. Slowly pour some of the cloudy mixture into the filter paper. Wait until the liquid drains, then add more. Continue this process until all of the cloudy mixture has been filtered. 14. Use the wash bottle to add a small amount of distilled water to the beaker, swirl, and pour this liquid into the filter paper also. Continue this process until no more white solid can be removed from the beaker. Clean-Up: 15. WITHOUT SPILLING ANY SOLID, gently place your filter paper on the side lab bench to dry. Keep the filter paper folded because unfolding might tear it. 16. Do not pour out the wash bottles! Return them to the cart for the next class. 17. Pour the filtrate (the clear liquid in the Erlenmeyer flask) down the drain. 18. Use soap and a sponge to wash the Erlenmeyer flask, beaker, graduated cylinder, funnel, scoopula, and stirring rod. Day 2 Procedure: 1. Get your filter paper. 2. Use the electronic balance to find the mass of the filter paper and solid: Filter paper with solid = _____________6.00 g Filter paper without solid = _____________ (copy this number from Step 11 above) Solid only = _____________ (subtract the numbers above to calculate this mass) Clean-Up: 3. Without dumping any solid on the floor, throw the filter paper in the trash. Post-Lab Questions: 1. What evidence of a chemical reaction did you observe in this experiment? (1 pt) 2. Calculate the percent yield for your group’s experiment. Show your work. (1 pt) .
