Experiment 1: What can be said about the mass of the 1.0 M HCl and 1.0 M NaOH solutions after they were combined? The combined mass of the 1 M HCl and 1 M NaOH solution was lower than the sum of their individual masses. The combined mass of the 1 M HCl and 1 M NaOH solution was higher than the sum of their individual masses. The combined mass of the 1 M HCl and 1 M NaOH solution was equal to the sum of their individual masses. The combined mass of the 1 M HCl and 1 M NaOH solution could not be determined from the experiment.

The combined mass of the 1 M HCl and 1 M NaOH solution was equal to the sum of their individual masses.

Experiment 2: What could account for the change in mass that you observed after opening the flask at the end of the reaction between hydrochloric acid and sodium carbonate? More air entered the flask causing an increase in the mass. The gas produced in the reaction escaped the flask causing an increase in mass. The gas produced in the reaction escaped the flask, resulting in a decrease in mass. Some of the solution spilled causing a decrease in mass.

The gas produced in the reaction escaped the flask, resulting in a decrease in mass.

Experiment 2: What happened to the pressure inside the Erlenmeyer flask, as compared to normal atmospheric pressure, after the addition of sodium carbonate to the hydrochloric acid solution? The pressure increased. The pressure started fluctuating. The pressure did not change. The pressure decreased.

The pressure increased.

Zinc reacts with hydrochloric acid resulting in the formation of zinc chloride and hydrogen gas. What do you expect will happen to the pressure inside the reaction flask if it is closed with a rubber stopper before the reaction? The pressure will decrease. The pressure will increase. The pressure will change randomly. The pressure will not change.

The pressure will increase.

Experiment 2: What could account for the change in pressure inside the flask that you observed after the addition of the sodium carbonate to the hydrochloric acid solution? The reaction between hydrochloric acid and sodium carbonate was exothermic and caused the pressure to decrease. The fluctuations in room pressure caused an increase in the pressure inside the flask. The reaction between hydrochloric acid and sodium carbonate used some of the air trapped inside the closed flask. The reaction between hydrochloric acid and sodium carbonate produced a gas that was trapped inside the closed flask.

The reaction between hydrochloric acid and sodium carbonate produced a gas that was trapped inside the closed flask.

Conclusions: Why does the flask have to be closed during the hydrochloric acid and sodium carbonate reaction?

The reaction between hydrochloric acid and sodium carbonate produces a gas. To conserve the mass, the gas has to be trapped inside the flask.

Experiment 1: What did you observe when you combined the sodium hydroxide and hydrochloric acid solutions? Nothing happened, because sodium hydroxide does not react with hydrochloric acid. The solution turned pink because a salt was formed. The temperature increased, but no other visible signs were observed. The solution started bubbling because a gas was formed.

The temperature increased, but no other visible signs were observed.

Experiment 2: What did you observe after adding the sodium carbonate to the hydrochloric acid? There was bubbling in the Erlenmeyer flask. There was no observable change after the addition of sodium carbonate. There was a precipitation reaction in the Erlenmeyer flask. There was a color change from white to blue.

There was bubbling in the Erlenmeyer flask.

Conclusions: The law of conservation of mass states that matter is neither created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction. How do you explain iron nails getting heavier as they rust?

When rusting, the iron in the nails reacts with oxygen in the air, and therefore the mass increases.

Experiment 2: According to the law of conservation of mass, matter cannot be created nor destroyed. Do your results from this experiment agree with this law?

Yes, the results agree with the law of conservation of mass because the mass is the same before and after the reaction when the flask is closed.

Experiment 1: According to the law of conservation of mass, matter cannot be created nor destroyed. Do your results from this experiment agree with this law?

Yes, the results agree with the law of conservation of mass because the mass is the same before and after the reaction.

Conclusions: Acid-base reactions are hard to observe because they usually do not provide any visual cues. In this lab, you used a thermometer to determine that a reaction occurred between hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide. How could you detect the changes caused by this reaction in a classroom laboratory if you did not have access to a thermometer?

You can touch the flask and see if the flask warms up during the reaction.
