3 pennies were weighed and qualitatively observed. In the fume hood, each penny was placed in a 150 mL beaker and 25 mL of 6 M HNO3 was added to the pennies. They dissolved in the fume hood. Next, 0.00, 2.00, 4.00, 6.00, 8.00, and 10.00 mL of stock Cu2+ solution was measured into volumetric flasks. 3 mL of 15 M ammonia was added to each volumetric flask. The dissolved pennies were quantitatively transferred into 3 separate 100 mL volumetric flasks. 14 mL of ammonia was added to the volumetric flask using a graduated cylinder and was then swirled. The swirling created a dark blue color. Each penny sample was put in a cuvette. Blank solution was used to calibrate the spectrometer. Then all the solutions of Cu2+ were placed in the spectrometer and the absorbance wavelength was recorded. This was then performed on the penny cuvettes too. Interpolation was used to determine the amount of Cu in each penny sample. The grams of Cu in the original penny was then calculated.

Explain the Titration calculated by the pH electrode

First the LabQuest device was set up and the pH electrode was calibrated. The buret was cleaned with the same cleaning procedures from the traditional titration. The sodas being titrated were either Orange Crush or Jones Green Apple. 20.00 mL of the soda was measured out and dH20 was added to the soda totalling 100 mL. The soda solution was put in a 250-mL beaker. The beaker was placed in the center of a magnetic stir plate and under the buret with a clean magnetic stir bar placed in the solution. The pH electrode was placed in the solution about 3 cm from the bottom of the beaker and the buret was filled to 0.00 mL with 0.0465 NaOH solution. For the first accurate titration trial, the NaOH was added to the soda solution until the pH reached 6.0 and the volume of the buret was recorded. Next, the NaOH was added in 0.2-0.3 increments and the pH of the soda solution and volume of NaOH was recorded on the LabQuest device in notebooks at every addition. The NaOH was added to the solution until the pH reached 10.5. The Labquest was saved for trial one. The next 2 trials were performed the same. The data from LabQuest was uploaded into Logger Pro into graphs. The titrant volume was calculated using Logger Pro. The molarity of citric acid was then calculated for each trial. The mean and standard deviation was then calculated from the molarity values.

What is one of the most important sources of error in calorimeter experiments? Explain.

Heat loss into the surrounding environment is an important source of error during calorimeter experiments. Since heat is the primary measurement it is an important error. There are many opportunities to lose heat to the environment: - when you add the salt with the lid off - the hole in the lid where the stirring rod is

Why is it important that these reactions are run in 2 polystyrene cups nestled in a beaker?

It acts as an effective insulator and the airspace between the two cups insulates the solution. This is important because the calorimeter needs to be properly insulated to produce accurate measurements.

The experimental measurement of enthalpy changes for chemical reactions

Explain the traditional titration.

The pH of the citric acid endpoint was calculated by using phenolphthalein indicator dye. The traditional titration was used with a colorless soda (either 7-Up or Sprite). The buret was cleaned with dH20 & 0.0465 NaOH solution. Once the buret was cleaned, the buret was filled above the 0.00 mL mark with the 0.0465 NaOH solution. The volume of the NaOH solution in the buret was adjusted to a little bit below the 0.00 mL mark. 40.00 mL of the soda was measured an poured into a 250-mL Erlenmeyer flask. DH20 was added to the soda in the Erlenmeyer flask until the solution reached 100 mL. Five drops of phenolphthalein indicator dye was then added to the soda solution and the Erlenmeyer flask was placed under the buret. The initial rapid titration began as the 0.0465 NaOH solution was added to the Erlenmeyer flask soda solution in 2 mL increments. The flask was being swirled during the additions of 0.0465 NaOH solution. A pink color persisted once the 0.0465 NaOH solution reached a certain amount of NaOH (near 20 mL). The titrant volume reached the end point and was then calculated. In order to perform the 4 accurate titration trials, 4 mL was subtracted from the titrant volume reached at the endpoint for the initial rapid titration. The 4 accurate trials proceeded like the initial trial did. After all 4 trials were done, a Q-test was performed to see if any needed to be rejected. Next the molarity for the citric acid was calculated for each trial. Lastly, a mean and standard deviation was calculated from molarity values.

Give background on the physical behaviour of an ideal gas.

There are gases all around us. In fact, air is a combination of various gases and each gas has a distinct chemical behavior. Despite their differing chemical behavior, all gases have extremely comparable physical properties, which include four variables. Those variables are temperature (T), volume (V), and pressure (P) and the amount of the gas. The amount of the gas is noted as the number of moles, or n. All four variables are able to be examined by holding two variables constant, while the other two variables' relationship is examined. For this experiment, the relationship between three variables: temperature, volume, and pressure were able to be determined. The number of moles, (n), was constant for all three parts of the experiment. There was a total of three relationships between variables in this experiment, and each relationship is acknowledged as a specific gas law. These gas laws are complementary and able to be united into one relationship, the ideal gas law. The ideal gas law relationship is written as PV=nRT, where (R) is known as the gas constant.
