Stoichiometry Lab Report

716 Words3 Pages

Stoichiometry of a Precipitation Reaction University Student Name Abstract The purpose of this experiment is to calculate the actual yield of Calcium carbonate from the reaction of Calcium Chloride with Sodium carbonate. We have to then compare the actual results with the theoretical value of Calcium carbonate and find out the error. When we mix 1.0 grams of Calcium Chloride and 0.80 g of sodium carbonate, it produces around 0.60 g calcium carbonate in the actual experiment. The theoretical yield of 0.68 grams of calcium carbonate and the experimental values is near to this figure. We are to compare the theoretical values with the actual values obtained and analyze the reasons for the error. Experiment In this experiment, 1.0 grams of Calcium chloride are mixed with 25 ml distilled water to obtain a Calcium chloride solution. By using Stoichiometry we can calculate the amount of sodium carbonate required for this reaction. One mole of calcium chloride reacts with one mole of sodium carbonate to produce one mole of calcium carbonate. After that, we take 0.80 g sodium carbonate and mix with 25 ml of distilled water to make a solution of sodium carbonate. The two solutions are mixed together in the 100 ml beaker, forming a milky white precipitate. The solution is …show more content…

This means that 12% is the error percentage. The sources of this error is that when the precipitate is transferred to the filter, it sticks to the sides of the beaker/filter paper. The theoretical yield is 0.68 grams of Calcium carbonate and due to the loss of precipitate in the filter paper, and while handling the exact quantity of precipitate could not be recovered, which lead to the error Also, there may be some errors in measurement since it is not possible to measure up to two decimal places accurately. Also, while keeping the funnel at an angle some of the solution spills over to the sides causing some losses of the product. (Bhatt,

    In order to find the amount of a product made during a double displacement reaction, the product has to be separated from the solution. From this number of moles of precipitate can be calculated. From there the number of moles of reactants can be calculated using the mole ratios of the particular reaction that occurred. As seen in Table 5 it is shown that by finding out the number of moles of the unknown, the molar mass of the unknown can be calculated. From the found mass of the unknown compound, the mound of the original ion can be found.

    Malachite was synthesized using the following reaction (1): 2CuSO4*5H2O(aq) + 2Na2CO3(aq) CuCO3Cu(OH)2(s) + 2Na2SO4(aq) + CO2(g) + 9H2O(l) Based on this chemical equation, two moles of aqueous hydrated copper (II) sulfate reacted with aqueous sodium carbonate, a precipitate of copper (II) carbonate hydroxide was formed along with aqueous sodium sulfate, gaseous carbon dioxide, and liquid water. The copper (II) carbonate hydroxide precipitate is also the malachite that was obtained from the solution. It was known that a chemical reaction was occurring when the copper (II) sulfate solution was mixed in with the sodium carbonate based on the fact that the color of the solution changed from blue to light blue and the solution frothed. The malachite

Osmosis is different than diffusion, since the net movement of the water is due to the solute concentration rather than the molecules.

    Add sodium carbonate (Na2CO3), to the calcium chloride you already have. This will make calcium carbonate ( CaCO3), according to the formula: Na2CO3 + CaCl2 -> CaCO3 + 2NaCl. Afterward, filter this solution to obtain the calcium carbonate. Finally, heat the calcium carbonate at 248 degrees Fahrenheit to dry it out. Heat the calcium carbonate to 1,832 degrees Fahrenheit to get CaO.

    Stoichiometry is a method used in chemistry that involves using relationships between reactants and products in a chemical reaction, to determine a desired quantitative data. The purpose of the lab was to devise a method to determine the percent composition of NaHCO3 in an unknown mixture of compounds NaHCO3 and Na2CO. Heating the mixture of these two compounds will cause a decomposition reaction. Solid NaHCO3 chemically decomposes into gaseous carbon dioxide and water, via the following reaction: 2NaHCO3(s) Na2CO3(s) + H2O(g) + CO2(g). The decomposition reaction was performed in a crucible and heated with a Bunsen burner.

    Background Information: All cells are covered by cellular membranes. They are selective barriers which permit the selective passage of water, ions and other molecules between the cell and the outside solution. When two solutions having different concentrations of ions and molecules are separated by a semipermeable membrane, there will be some exchange between them. This will happen because they tend to equilibrate the concentrations and the osmotic pressure of the solutions, in order to be the same for both of them.

    This lab further verifies the law of conservation of mass, a concept that is pivotal to the very nature of stoichiometry. By using molar methods and evaluating reactions through stoichiometric means, the experiment addresses the validity of the understanding regarding chemical reactions. This work is important in addressing the scientific nature of repeatability and evidence, which further supports the concept of conservation of mass, a part of the very foundation of thought within

    1.5.1. Calcium carbonate Calcium carbonate is one of the most abundant calcium salts present in the earth's crust. Calcium is an alkaline earth metal with the atomic number 20, chemical formula Ca2+, represents about a third of the metals abundant in the earth and is essential for the life of living organisms. In fact, it is the essential component of a balanced diet, as well as the formation of bones and teeth and oversees important physiological functions (37).

    Sulphuric acid One of the most important chemicals used in the industrial revolution was sulphuric acid (H2SO4), as it had many different uses in textile and metallurgical industries. Due to its importance, it was in high demand and the amount which could be produced was constantly trying to be improved. It was during this period that a scientist by the name of John Roebuck discovered that this chemical could be produced at a much larger scale than once thought. He did this by making small changes to the production method.

    Introduction This module is all about Stoichiometry, composition and reaction. I chose this topic not because I am having a really hard time understanding it, but because I want to have a deeper understanding of the lesson. Before actually doing this, I watched some videos on YouTube in order to look for some techniques I can actually apply in doing some written works and execute as an example for this module. In this module, I will focus more on the different techniques on how to convert unit to unit that I learned from different sources and some I self-learned, and of course some from the discussion done by our teacher.
