If there are any shortcomings of the analogy, list them. For example, if a picture showed a hungry boy eating a hamburger, this might be absorption, because the boy is absorbing the hamburger, the reaction: hungry boy + hamburger ( satisfied boy. One shortcoming might be that the burger was eaten gradually in bites instead of all at once.

HALF-LIFE LAB FLIPPING BEADS! Name: _____________ Partner: ______________
The following activity is designed to illustrate how radioactive decay is all a matter of chance. Just because a nucleus is unstable, it does not mean it will decay immediately into something else. It only means there is a chance of it decaying in a given time period. Some nuclei are more unstable than others, and so the chance of them decaying is greater. The most common way of referring to this decay rate is in terms of something called the “half-life” of a radioactive substance. A half-life is the period of time over which there is a 50-50 chance of a nucleus decaying. The shorter the half-life, the more unstable the nucleus is. Cobalt-60, for example, is a radioactive isotope with a half-life of 5 years. That means, over a 5 year period, chances are 50-50 that any given nucleus of Co-60 will decay. It is conceivable that in a sample containing just forty cobalt-60 nuclei, that none of them will decay over a five year period, but it would be rather unlikely, just as it would be rather unlikely to toss 40 coins up and have them all come up heads. Chances are, about half of the nuclei will decay (which is why they call it a “half-life”). When you consider a sample containing 40 trillion cobalt-60 nuclei, the chances that none will decay during a half-life is extremely small. With such a large sample size, the chances are much greater that what happens will match the odds of it happening. This is sometimes referred to as the “law of averages.”
Procedure:
1. Place 40 straw section “beads” on their sides in the box. These should look like ’s when viewed from above, and they represent atoms of the radioactive element “sidium” -- they are unstable but
we will pretend they are somehow frozen in time and have not had an opportunity yet to decay!
2. Cover the box and shake thoroughly. This shaking will represent the passage of 1 year. As you shake, some of the beads will tip over onto their bases (and look like ’s when viewed from above). These represent the element “basium” that sidium has decayed into. Before looking, make a guess as to how many atoms you think will remain as un-decayed sidium [Guess = ____]. Then, open the box and see how close you were. Remove all the basium atoms ( ) and place them in the bag. In the upper left-hand corner of the table below, record how many sidium atoms ( ) remained in your
box after this first shaking.
3. Do not put the removed basium atoms back into the box. Again, cover and shake -- just those sidium atoms left in the box, and guess how many will be left un-decayed this time [Guess = ____]. Again, uncover, remove all the basium atoms ( ). In the table below, record how many ’s are left in the box.
4. Repeat this procedure until all the ’s atoms have decayed. Make sure you are shaking the box thoroughly each time! When you have finished, go to the computer and enter your group’s results.
5. Now get a different sample bag, this time of “shortium” atoms, and repeat steps 1-4 with them.
6. Graph your results. Use x’s to plot points for the number of sidium atoms remaining (on the y-axis) versus time (in years*) on the x-axis on the graph paper provided. Then, on the same graph, use Δ’s to plot the pooled class data. Also, on the same graph, use o’s to plot your data for shortium atoms, and then use •’s to plot the class averages for shortium. Draw best fit lines only for the pooled class data for both sidium and shortium decay.
Data Table: Number of atoms remaining after... (*Assume each shaking represents the passage of 1 year.)
Questions:
1. Look at the plotted points for your data and those of the class averages. How do they relate to the “law of averages” described in the introduction?
2. Describe the appearance of your graph line: is it straight or curved? ________ Based on your answer, why do you think radioactive decay rates are measured in half-lives and not something like decays per hour?
3. This sort of lab is known as a simulation, with each component being analogous to some aspect of the actual radioactive decay of an isotope. For example each bead on its side is analogous to a radioactive nucleus. What are each of the follow components analogous to:
a bead on its base: _________________________________________________________________________________
one shaking of the box: _____________________________________________________________________________
a bead flipping from side to base: _____________________________________________________________________
the sound given off as the beads flip: __________________________________________________________________
the noise level in the room decreasing over time: ________________________________________________________
4. Although the analogy is a pretty good one, it does have some aspects that are not appropriate, consider each of the following, and explain why they are inconsistent with the analogy:
during shaking, a bead might flip side to base and then back to side: _________________________________________
a bead landing on its corner: _________________________________________________________________________
your having to shake the beads: ______________________________________________________________________
stopping the shaking: _______________________________________________________________________________
opening the box to look inside: _______________________________________________________________________
removing the basium atoms: _________________________________________________________________________
5. If you wanted to modify this simulation to demonstrate a radioactive substance more stable than sidium, what might you use? Explain.
6. Use the best fit line of the pooled class data to estimate the half-life of the sidium atoms. Do this by picking a point on the line, noting its y-value (number of un-decayed atoms), then determining how far you must move to the right along the x-axis to get a y-value half of the original one. Repeat this two more times on different parts of the line, then average your three half-life values. Then do this for the pooled shortium data. (Include units in your answers.)
7. a) Starting with a 1-mole sample (6.02 x 1023 ) of radioactive nuclei, how many nuclei will probably be left after... a) 1 half-life? b) 10 half-lives? c) 50 half-lives d) 100 half-lives?
a:_______ b:_______ c:_______ d:_______

8. a. In this simulation, is there any way to predict when a specific bead will “decay?” ___
b. If you could follow the fate of an individual atom in a sample of radioactive material, could you predict when it’s nucleus would decay? Why or why not?
c. How could you modify the simulation to test your prediction?

h. Aside from uncertainty in reading the graph, why is your answer to g above not quite accurate?
ORGANIC MODEL BUILDING Name: _________________________

2. Why is CF4 not square shaped?
3. What shape is CF4, and why is it this shape?
4. For each of the following molecules, construct a ball and stick model using the following code:
Once you have constructed it, draw the
model as best as you can; try to convey
the 3-dimensional nature of the molecule,
as shown in the example at right.
Then below it, write the structural formula
(the “flat” representation) of that same

*** Now go back over the ones you’ve made and indicate if any of them have variations in how they can be put together. By variations, we don’t just mean flipped or bent versions, we mean different bonding arrangements. These are called “isomers”. In the little boxes, write how many isomers of each you can make. (Hint: five of them are 1’s. That is, for five of the formulas, only one structure can be made.)

ISOMERS WORKSHEET Name: _________________________
The building blocks:
Definition: Isomers = substances with the same chemical formula but with different arrangements of the atoms.
example C4H10 and C4H10
short-cut:
(leave out H's)
Note: Molecules are constantly being bent, twisted and flipped as they collide with one another, but this does not change their bonding arrangements. Thus, bending, twisting and flipping of a structural formula does not create new isomers.
So and and and and and
are not isomers, they are all repeats of the same structure:
a four-C chain with a C branching off the second C. But is a new isomer. It’s different.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Consider the following chemical formulas: In the spaces provided, draw as many different structural formulas (isomers) as you can. For 1-24, many have only 1 or 2 possible structures, and none of them has more than six (see answers below), so many of the boxes will be left empty. If only one possible structure exists, draw it and write a "1" in the space after the formula below. If more than one structure exists, draw all of the possible isomers (but no repeats), and indicate how many are possible in the space. If a compound is impossible, then don’t draw any isomers and write "X" in the space. If a compound can only exist as a free radical (a molecule containing open bonding sites), then
draw just one version of the free radical, using a dot ( ) for the open bond and write "F" in the space. For compounds #25-30, more than six isomers exist. Draw just six, and then for bonus, draw all possible isomers on a separate sheet, and indicate the total number you came up with in the space.

Polymer Identification Lab Name: _________________ partner: ____ ____________
Have you ever noticed those recycling numbers on plastic containers? Before there was single-stream recycling, those numbers played a much more significant role, since consumers who chose to recycle would have to sort not only glass from metal from paper from plastic, but also sort the different types of plastics. As you have learned already, plastics are made of
polymers, which are carbon-based compounds with very long molecular chains. Each polymer is named after the monomer links which are strung together to form those long chains. For example number 6 is named polystyrene since it is made by stringing together tens of thousands (or more) of repeating styrene molecules. The names of the six
recyclable polymers are listed in the table at right. Note that these are not the only plastics that are commercially produced (plastics like nylon, Teflon (tetrafluoroethylene), and polyurethane are not on the list); these six, however, are the ones that are most commonly used for pack-aging and are most economical to recycle. [Actually, #6, polystyrene is currently not very economical to recycle, which is why consumers are supposed to separate it out from the other plastics they put in their
recycling. This lab activity is intended to point out the inherent differences among these six common polymers, to identify them by these differences, and to illustrate why not all plastics can be used or recycled in the same manner.
Materials: index card, copper wire, cup of water, beaker of boiling water on hot plate, burner, beaker of acetone (keep covered, away from flames), cup of 45% 2-propanol (rubbing alcohol, colored green), tongs, forceps, stirring rod, scissors
Procedure:
I: POLYMER ID: Take the index card up to the polymer samples and pick out one sample of each A, B, C, D, E & F, and place it next to its corresponding letter on the card. Just to help you from getting these mixed up, take a photo of these six plastics on the card using either your iPad or phone. These samples A – F correspond with plastics 1 – 6, but they are in a scrambled order. Your task is to determine which letter corresponds with which number.
1. DENSITY TEST #1: Place all six samples in the cup of water. Poke them with the stirring rod if necessary to dislodge any adhering bubbles. Record your observations below, and use the density table below to help you begin to limit your choices. Can you identify any of them yet? [Each polymer has its own unique density range, and whether a polymer floats or sinks in a liquid should help you identify it. This process is also
used in plastic recycling plants to separate out the plastics!]
Observations:
PROCEED WITH TESTS 2-4 WITH ONLY THOSE SAMPLES THAT SANK IN WATER
2. COPPER WIRE TEST: Hold the end of the copper wire in the hottest part of a hot flame until it glows red hot. Remove the wire from the flame, and while it is still hot carefully push it through one of the sinking samples, then pull it back out. Place the wire (not the plastic sample) back in the flame and record your observations below. Repeat this test with the other plastic samples that sank in water in test #1. [The halogens (F, Cl, Br and I) will often steal electrons from copper atoms to produce copper(II) ions. When these ions have their remaining electrons excited by heat energy, they give off a unique colored light. Use the polymer names above to help narrow down your choices. Can you identify any of them yet? You should be able to identify one, and once you have, don’t bother running any more tests on it.]
Observations:
3. ACETONE TEST: NOTE: acetone is safe to touch, but it will act to dissolve finger nail polish, so if you have manicured nails you care about, avoid getting acetone on them! Go to the separate table for the acetone – kept covered and away from the flames, because acetone is quite flammable. Use the tongs to hold one of the sinking polymer samples in the acetone for five seconds. Then remove it from the acetone and press it firmly between your fingers. Record your observations below. Repeat this test with the remaining samples that sank. [The polymer chains made from repeating styrene units will loosen up in acetone (this is known as “swelling”), allowing the polymer’s surface to become soft and impressionable.
Observations:
4. HEAT TEST: Using forceps, hold one of the sinking samples in the boiling water for a few seconds. Record your observations below, and repeat with the other samples that sank. [Heat can also cause polymer chains to loosen up and soften. (This is how many plastics are molded into their desired shapes.) Different polymers have different softening points. PVC’s, for instance, is rather high, whereas PET’s is relatively low.]
Observations:
PROCEED WITH TESTS 5 & 6 WITH ONLY THOSE SAMPLES THAT FLOATED IN WATER
5. DENSITY TEST #2: Place the samples that floated in water in the cup of 45% 2-propanol (colored green) and if necessary, poke with the stirring rod to dislodge any adhering bubbles. Record your observations below. [Refer back to the density table. As before, this should help you narrow down your choices.]
Observations:
6. COMBUSTION TEST: (Caution: this test may produce hot dripping plastic – perform it over a cleared-off portion of the lab bench.) Use a pair of scissors to obtain a small strip of the sample about this big: Using forceps, hold the very tip of the strip in the burner flame until it begins to burn, then remove it from the flame and observe it as it burns. When the reaction is over, quench the molten sample in the beaker of water. Scrape off the residual plastic and repeat this test with the other samples that floated in water (from step 1). [Polyethylene burns slowly, allowing enough oxygen to react to give a hot, blue flame. Polypropylene, on the other hand, burns quickly, causing incomplete combustion and a somewhat cooler, yellow (and sometimes sooty) flame. Note: the difference is not always as pronounced as one might hope. Thus it may be difficult to distinguish between these two plastics. Do your best!]
Observations:
II More Unknowns: If time permits, obtain three more samples, of your own choosing from the other unknowns labeled G through X. They also match up with polymers 1-6 above, but since you are picking three random unknowns out of eighteen, you could easily end up with repeats! See if you can determine their identities using the fewest tests possible. Record observations below.

A Tale of Two Cross-Linked Polymers! Name: _____________________
“It was the best of slimes… it was the worst of slimes…”
When most people think of polymers, they think of plastics, but polymers can be powders and sometimes they can be dissolved in solvents like water. Polyvinyl acetate, used in glues, and polyvinyl alcohol, used to increase viscosity in pharmaceuticals, are two polymers that are both quite water soluble (see their molecular structures below). An interesting thing happens when borate ions (BO33-) are added to solutions of these polymers: the borate ions act to crosslink the polymer chains – turning what would be a bunch of separate “ropes” into something more like a “hammock.” Needless to say, this greatly changes the viscosity of the polymer solution.
Procedure A: (to make cross-linked polyvinyl acetate)
1) Pour 15 mL of water into the plastic vial and add 1 small spoon of sodium borate (sold in stores as Borax laundry additive), screw on the cap and shake for 15 seconds. Let this sit undisturbed to allow the undissolved sodium borate to settle to the bottom of the vial.
2) While it is settling, carefully pour 20 mL of water into the small cup (up to the W line), then add in 20 mL of glue (to the G line). If you want, go up to the central lab bench and add 3-4 drops (NO MORE) of food coloring (your choice of colors). Stir with a coffee stirrer for 30-45 seconds until it is uniform consistency throughout. Then transfer the glue/water mix into a plastic ziplok bag.
3) Carefully decant the 15 mL of sodium borate solution from the vial into the bag, being sure to leave any undissolved sodium borate behind.
4) Get most of the air out of the bag, zip it closed, and then start kneading the bag. What do you notice happening to the viscosity of the polymer solution as the borate ions cross-link the polymer chains together?
5) Keep kneading the bag and rolling it between your palms to the point where the inside of the bag is pretty much “clean.” Then open the bag and take out your cross-linked polyvinyl acetate.
Procedure B: (to make cross-linked polyvinyl alcohol)
1) Pour 15 mL of water into the plastic vial and add 1 small spoon of sodium borate (sold in stores as Borax laundry additive), screw on the cap and shake for 15 seconds. Let this sit undisturbed to allow the undissolved sodium borate to settle to the bottom of the vial.
2) While it is settling, carefully pour 40 mL of PVA solution into the plastic cup (up to the G line). If you want, go up to the central lab bench and add 3-4 drops (NO MORE) of food coloring (your choice of colors). Stir with a coffee stirrer for 30-45 seconds until it is uniform consistency throughout. Then transfer the PVA solution into a plastic ziplok bag.
3) Carefully decant the 15 mL of sodium borate solution from the vial into the bag, being sure to leave any undissolved sodium borate behind.
4) Get most of the air out of the bag, zip it closed, and then start kneading the bag. What do you notice happening to the viscosity of the polymer solution as the borate ions cross-link the polymer chains together?
5) Keep kneading the bag and rolling it between your palms to the point where the inside of the bag is pretty much “clean.” Then open the bag and take out your cross-linked polyvinyl alcohol.
CLEAN UP – Get the cup completely clean and leave it upside down on the lab bench.
Now what can you do with the slime?
A) Resiliency Test: Roll it into a ball. Can it bounce? Caution: do not throw it too hard!
B) Stretchability Test: See what happens when you try to stretch it very slowly compared to very quickly. Why do you think this happens?
C) Viscosity Test: Place your slime sample in a funnel (plastic bottle top) and time how long it takes to flow all the way to the table. Is the flow rate constant? Is the time reproducible?
D) Inflatability Test: Form the slime sample into a ball around the end of the straw and inflate it by gently, SLOWLY blowing into the other end. You will need to pinch the slime together around the end of the straw to prevent the air from leaking out the sides and making disgusting flatulent noises.
When you are done, return the slime to the bag and take it with you. At home make sure to keep it away from carpets and upholstery… and hungry pets. Also know that since no antibacterial agents were added, your slime will start to go moldy in about a week or two, at which point you should throw it away.

TIE-DYE T-SHIRT LAB Name: _______________________ Per: ___
PROCEDURE: Twelve steps to a perfect tie-dye!
Day 1:
1. Pick out the size shirt you want. Use a permanent marker to write your name on the tag.
2. Soak your T-shirt in the large basin of sodium carbonate solution for at least 15-20 minutes. This solution removes “sizing” or fabric fillers and therefore helps open up the bonding sites on the cotton molecules (cellulose polymer chains) to give the dye molecules a place to bond covalently.
3. While the T-shirt is soaking, practice designs and color mixings on damp paper towels.
Wet the paper towels with tap water then wring them out completely, carefully open them up and try different folding and dye application patterns.
There will only be five colors available: blue, yellow, red, viridian (aquamarine) and fuchsia (dark pink). If you want a green or orange, etc, you will need to mix them yourself. To do this, squeeze 6 drops of yellow and 4 drops of fuchsia (for example) into a small test tube. Then just pour out a few drops of this mixture onto a spread out moistened paper towel. If this isn’t quite the orange you wanted, rinse out the test tube and try 7 drops of yellow and 3 drops of fuchsia. It’s best to try to keep the total drops at 10. When you find a mixture you like, right down the proportions.
4. Take the T-shirts out of the mordant solution and run them through the wringer. Watch your fingers. There’s nothing worse than a painful case of “wringer finger!” Place the wrung-out T-shirts on a coat hanger and hang them up to dry overnight in the lab room.
Day 2:
5. Working with a friend, with your desks scooted together, fold and wrap your T-shirt in any of a number of ways discussed (spirals are easy and always turn out great). Use rubber bands to hold them together.
6. Take the wrapped shirt into the lab, place a single newspaper sheet folded in quarters on a plastic tray and begin dyeing. First, though, figure out how much dye you will need and what colors you want to use. You and your partner will have four squirt bottles to use between the two of you.
|shirt size |Short Sleeve |Long Sleeve |
| |Volume (mL) for 90% coverage |Volume (mL) for 100% coverage |Volume (mL) for 90% coverage |Volume (mL) for 100% coverage |
|XS |260 |290 |360 |400 |
|S |280 |310 |390 |430 |
|M |300 |330 |420 |470 |
|L |320 |370 |470 |520 |
|XL |380 |420 |530 |590 |
|XXL |420 |480 |610 |680 |
That means an XXL short sleeve shirt will need 480 mL of total dye. So if you want the shirt to be half red and half orange (that is 7 parts yellow and 3 parts fuchsia), you will put about 240 mL ([pic] of 480) of red in one squirt bottle, and 240 x 70% = 168 mL of yellow and 240 x 30% = 72 mL of fuchsia in the second squirt bottle. (You can eyeball this or use graduated cylinders.)
7. VERY IMPORTANT: Make as little mess as possible, and clean up after yourself as you go. When you go up to fill up the squirt bottles, leave the tops at your lab station hanging in the cut-off soda bottles. And keep the tips in the cut-off soda bottles as you screw-on and/or screw-off the tops.
Get the dyes you need from the dye vats at the center lab table, then go back to your lab area to put the lids back on. Then gently squeeze the dye out onto the shirt making slow sweeping movements to allow the dye to spread evenly. Also, be aware that mixing will occur where the dyes come in contact with each other. Using complimentary colors (purple & yellow, blue & orange, red & green) near each other usually produces a brownish black color. These dyes are known as “fiber-active” dyes; that means they actually form covalent bonds with the cotton molecules, and are therefore essentially impossible to wash out. (By the way, bleach does not really wash out the molecules, it just breaks them up so they no longer show the colors they normally do. Bleach also breaks up the cotton fibers and will eventually lead to holes in the shirt!)
8. Take a fresh piece of newspaper (just one sheet and fold it down so it is the same size as your shirt. Place this on the foam board for your class, then transfer the T-shirt onto this folded up newspaper. It will stay there for at least 24 hours. This gives the dye time to bond to the fabric, and as the water evaporates, it concentrates the dye to give richer colors.
9. When both you and your partner are done, thoroughly clean up your lab station, rinse out the bottles and tops, throw away the old newspaper sheet, use a cheap paper towel to wipe up your tray (and the lab area) and place a fresh single sheet of newspaper in the tray for the next person. Then wash your hands well.
Day 3:
10. The next day, at the end of class, place your T-shirt in a grocery bag and take it home. (Hint: Be careful not to let it stain things such as upholstered car seats as one careless student did a few years ago!) When you’re ready, remove the rubber bands, open the shirt up (say “Ooooo” or “Ahhhhh”) and place it in a large bucket of water. Rinse it a few times, wring it out, then continue to rinse it with fresh, clean water until the rinse water comes out dilute enough so that you can see your hand through about 5-6 cm (2 in) of the water. You may want to wear gloves while doing this. This rinse water is safe to dump on the grass.
11. Wring out the T-shirt one final time, then wash it in the washing machine by itself (small load setting to conserve water) in hot water using dish detergent (about 1 teaspoon!) such as Dawn or Joy (not laundry detergent). Dry it (by machine on hot setting). Note: Some dryers have trouble drying just one item, so if you have a bunch of rags or clothes that you don’t care about, throw them
in there too. The first few times you wash it, you may want to wash it by itself, but after that, the shirt can be washed with other darks in cold water.
12. To receive credit for this lab, wear your T-shirts to school on ____________ . Bring $12 for short sleeve or $15 for long sleeve, (checks made out to KHS). Or if you’re not keeping it, turn it in immediately after the class picture.
Tie-dye Questions:
1. On the back of the last page, describe precisely using words and diagrams how you wrapped your shirt and then draw two COLORED pictures below the description: one that depicts how you thought the shirt would turn out and the other that depicts how it actually turned out.
2. Cotton is made of a natural polymer called cellulose, which is also the main fiber in wood and paper (a polymer is a carbon-based substance with very long chain molecules made out of repeating units, called monomers). The structural (line) formula for cellulose is:
Here’s what these structures represent. The structures are a short-cut way of writing the structure of organic molecules. At the end of each line segment, if no element symbol is shown, there is a carbon (C) atom. Carbon can bond to four other elements so any missing bonds go to hydrogens (H).
a. Cotton is very absorbent when it comes to water. Based on the structure above, and based on
what you know about water and intermolecular forces, why is this so?
b. Circle one of the repeating units above, then, knowing what you know about line diagrams,
determine its molecular formula (hint: it starts off C6...) Answer: ________
c. When cellulose is made from its monomer, one water molecule is taken out for each monomer
unit, so add two H’s and one O to your formula above to determine the molecular formula of the
monomer from which it was made (hint: it should look familiar) Answer: ________
d. Based on its formula, what is the name of the monomer from which cotton is made? ________
e. Where exactly does cotton come from (plant, animal, petroleum product?) _________________
f. Where did the energy come from to make those monomer units? ________________________
g. What is this process (in f) called? _____________________________
3. a. The soaking solution used in this lab was sodium carbonate, also known as soda ash. What is its molecular formula? __________
b. Your shirt soaked up about 15.0 g of sodium carbonate. How many moles is this? _________
___________________________________________________
4. To get the dyes to dissolve, they must be mixed with a white granular
substance called urea (which you may have heard of!): CON2H4.
a. Draw the structural formula for urea: (Hint: the molecule is symmetrical
and neither the C nor the O is bonded to any H’s!)
b. Looking at the structural formula you drew for part a, what tells you that the urea would
dissolve quite readily in water? (Hint: what type of attractive forces would exist between urea and
water?) ___________________________________________________________

Ans: ______
5. What is a mordant? ___________________________________________________________
6. What is a “fiber-active” dye? ____________________________________________________
7. How does bleach clean stains? _________________________________________________
8. Three of the fiber active dyes you used are shown below. They all have one part of the molecule that allows them to bond to the fibers and a separate part (called the chromophore) that produces their unique color. For one of the molecules these two sections have been indicated as “A” and “B”. Based on comparisons with the other molecules shown. Which section (A or B)
is the fiber-bonding part? ___ Which is the “chromophore” part? ___
9. Explain your reasoning.

blue: _____ red: _____ viridian: ______ fuchsia: _____
12. For each of the following folding and dying techniques, draw and color in the pattern you would expect it to produce:
Acid Base WS Background information
H+ and OH-: First, it is important to understand that water molecules have a very slight tendency to spontaneously break apart into hydrogen ions (H+) and hydroxide ions (OH-): H2O(l) ( H+(aq) + OH-(aq) These two ions dissolve in the water that surrounds them, but they don’t last long in solution – they quickly revert back into H2O molecules whenever two of them encounter one another: H+(aq) + OH-(aq) ( H2O(l) . These two reactions are usually written as just one with a double arrow: H2O(l) H+(aq) + OH-(aq) This reaction is said to be at equilibrium. This does not mean that there are equal amounts of H2O molecules and H+ & OH- ions. It simply means that the forward reaction rate and the reverse reaction rate are equal, and so the concentrations of the reactants and products are remaining constant. In fact, at any point in time, only about one out of every 550 million H2O molecules is split into H+ and OH- ions. This makes the H+ concentration (written [H+]) around 1.0 x 10-7 M, and the OH- concentration (written [OH-]) also around 1.0 x 10-7 M.
Acidic & Basic: Having dissolved H+ ions gives a solution a certain set of properties – tasting sour, for example, and reacting with metals to make hydrogen gas – and these properties make that solution “acidic.” The higher the [H+], the more acidic the solution is. Having dissolved OH- ions gives a solution a different set of properties – tasting bitter, for example, and feeling slippery on the skin – and these properties make that solution “basic.” The higher the [OH-], the more basic the solution is.
pH and pOH: Sometimes it is convenient to talk about the [H+] logarithmically – in terms of its power of ten. For a concentration of 1.0 x 10-7 M, that power would be -7. [Conventionally chemists change the sign and just say “7”]. This is referred to as the “power of the H+ ion,” or simply “pH.” So a solution with a [H+] of 1.0 x 10-7 M is said to have a pH of 7. There is also a pOH which refers to the power of a solution’s [OH-]. Since ordinary water has a [OH-] of 1.0 x 10-7 M, it has a pOH of 7 as well. And since ordinary water has equal concentrations of H+ and OH- ions, it is equally acidic and basic, and is referred to as “neutral.” Any solution with a pH of 7 is by definition neutral.
Acids and Bases: If a substance like HCl is dissolved in water, it dissociates into H+ ions and Cl- ions, and it will make the [H+] go up, and that in turn makes the [OH-] go down. Such substances are known as “acids.” Likewise, if a substance like NaOH is dissolved in water, it will dissociate into Na+ ions and OH- ions and this will make the [OH-] go up, which in turn makes the [H+] go down. Such substances are known as “bases.” Here’s the neatest thing about this equilibrium, no matter which of these two ions is present at a greater concentration, the product of these two concentrations must always be 1.0 x 10-14! In other words: [H+] x [OH-] = 1.0 x 10-14. So if we add enough HCl to water to make the [H+] go up to 1.0 x 10-4 M, the [OH-] must drop to 1.0 x 10-10 M. [That you should be able to do in your head!] And if we add enough NaOH to water to make the [OH-] go up to 2.7 x 10-2 M, then that means the [H+] must drop to 3.7 x 10-13 M. [That one you would probably need a calculator for!] Since the product of the [H+] and [OH-] is always 1.0 x 10-14, it is always easy to determine concentration of one of these ions if you know the other: You simply take 1.0 x 10-14 and divide it by whichever one you know, and it gives you the other one. So above, when we knew that the [OH-] was 2.7 x 10-2 M, we simply calculate the [H+] to be 1.0 x 10-14/2.7 x 10-2 = 3.7 x 10-13 M.
pH scale: The HCl solution described above has a relatively high [H+] of 1.0 x 10-4 M and this would give it a pH of 4 (and a pOH of 10). Since this solution has more H+ ions than OH- ions it behaves more as an acid than it does as a base, so it is considered acidic. Any solution with a pH less than 7 is by definition acidic. Likewise the NaOH solution described above has a very low [H+] of 3.7 x 10-13 M and this would give it a pH of 12.43* (and a pOH of 1.57). Since this solution has many more OH- ions than H+ ions it behaves more as a base than it does as an acid, so it is considered basic. Any solution with a pH greater than 7 is by definition basic.
*Calculating pH: To calculate the pH for a solution with a [H+] of 1.0 x 10-4 M is easy: you just look at the power of ten and then change the sign: pH = 4. But when you do this, what you are actually doing in your head is taking the log of the [H+]! For numbers that do not start with 1.0 x… you really need to use a calculator: so when the [H+] was 3.7 x 10-13 M, take the log of this number (-12.43) and change the sign: pH = 12.43. It’s that simple. The equation is: pH = -log[H+]. (Likewise, pOH = -log[OH-], but we don’t use pOH all that much). And what if you are given the pH and asked to find the [H+]? If it’s a whole number, it’s easy: If the pH is 9.00, the [H+] is simply 1.0 x 10-9 M. But what if the pH is 9.25? Now you need a calculator: simply find the antilog (which is the same as 10x) of -9.25. The antilog of -9.25 gives 5.6 x 10-10 M for the [H+]. Notice one more thing: just as the [H+] and [OH-] must always multiply out to 1.0 x 10-14, since the pH and pOH are their logarithms, the pH and the pOH must always add up to 14.00. pH + pOH = 14.00 So if you know one of these two values, it is very easy to find the other. If for example, the pH is 9.25, the pOH must be 14.00 – 9.25 = 4.75.
Strong and weak acids: The extent to which an acid dissociates into ions determines how strong the acid is. There exist only six truly strong acids: HCl, HBr, HI, HNO3, HClO4, H2SO4. These acids all dissociate 100%. That means that whatever the acid concentration is, that will be the H+ concentration as well. In other words, in a 0.25 M HBr solution, the HBr will completely dissociate into H+ ions and Br- ions ( HBr ( H+(aq) + Br-(aq)), and this means that the [H+] will be 0.25 M – how easy is that! (The [Br-] will also be 0.25 M, but we really don’t care much about that since it has nothing to do with the solution’s acid or base properties.) All other acids (like HF, HNO2, HC2H3O2 …) are all considered weak acids and they generally only dissociate a little in solution: like H2O, they reach equilibrium. For example: HF H+(aq) + F-(aq). Thus a 0.25 M HF solution might be only 1.0% dissociated (in other words, at any point in time, 99% of the HF molecules remain as HF molecules, and only 1% are broken up into H+ and F- ions, as shown below). This means that a 0.25 M HF solution will have an [H+] of only 0.0025M.
Strong acids like HBr dissociate 100% in solution Weak acids like HF dissociate only a little in solution
Acid - Base reactions: Of all the reactions that acids and bases can be involved in, perhaps the most impressive is the neutralization reaction. Imagine 100 mL of 10.0 M HCl. Splash it in your eyes, and you will have permanent eye damage; drink it and you are sure to die! The same can be said of 100 mL of 10.0 M NaOH solutions. Bases are every bit as caustic and dangerous as acids. BUT… pour these two solutions together and miraculously, you end up with salt water, which would neither damage your eyes nor poison you. That is because the H+ & OH- ions that make the original solutions so dangerous combine to form good-old H2O! The overall reaction is: HCl(aq) + NaOH(aq) ( NaCl(aq) + H2O(l) and the net ionic equation is: H+(aq) + OH-(aq) ( H2O(l) . (Since the Na+ and Cl- ions start off dissolved in solution and end up still dissolved in solution, they are spectators and therefore don’t show up in the net ionic equation.)
This neutralization reaction only leaves a truly neutral solution (pH = 7) when the two solutions exactly use each other up, and this only occurs when there are precisely the same number of moles of the acid as there are of the base. In the example above, using 100 mL of 10.0 M HCl 1nd 100 mL of 10.0 M NaOH, since the volumes were the same and the concentrations were the same, then certainly the number of moles must be the same. If we were trying to neutralize the 100 mL of 10.0 M HCl using an NaOH solution that was only 5.00 M, we could still do it, but it would clearly take twice as much (200 mL). This is because (molar concentration) x (volume) = # of moles. If the moles of acid and base must be equal, then this means: [acid] x Vacid = [base] x Vbase.
Sample neutralization problems:
1. What volume of 0.350 M NaOH would be needed to neutralize 24.5 mL of 0.125 M HCl?
[acid] x Vacid = [base] x Vbase (0.125 M) x 24.5 mL = (0.350 M) x Vbase Vbase = 8.75 mL. (easy!)
2. It takes 21.76 mL of 0.140 M NaOH to neutralize 26.19 mL of HCl solution. What is the HCl concentration?
[acid] x Vacid = [base] x Vbase [HCl] x 26.19 mL = (0.140 M) x 21.76 mL [HCl] = 0.116 M. (also easy!)
Important: some acids have more than one H+ per molecule that dissociate into solution. H2SO4 for example has two. (Likewise for some bases: Ba(OH)2 has two OH- ions.) When you encounter such a compound, just appreciate that it acts like a doubly strong acid (or base). So 0.300 M H2SO4 has an [H+] of 0.600 M.
3. It takes 21.76 mL of 0.140 M Ba(OH)2 to neutralize 26.19 mL of HCl solution. What is the HCl concentration?
[acid] x Vacid = [base] x Vbase [HCl] x 26.19 mL = (0.280 M) x 21.76 mL [HCl] = 0.232 M. (still pretty easy!)

Titration Lab Name: ________________ partner_______________
Purpose: To determine the molarity of a NaOH solution by performing a titration using 0.250 M HCl.
Procedure:
1. Obtain about 60 mL of 0.250 M HCl solution in a 100 mL beaker. Rinse the “red” buret with about 5 mL of this solution. Pour into sink. Repeat once more, then fill the buret all the way with the HCl solution. Put the buret back in the buret clamp.
2. Place the plastic cup labelled “waste” under the buret and open the stopcock to allow any air
bubbles to escape from the buret. Then fill the HCl buret to between the 0 and 10 mL mark.
3. Record the precise level of the HCl in the table below: Trial 1 (remember to use the black stripe
and read from the bottom of the meniscus. (example: 23.48 mL, see Figure at right)
4. Obtain a blue dot beaker and carefully measure _______ mL of solution B1 and ________ mL of
solution B2 into it. Use a plastic pipet to mix this up thouroughly! This will give you a NaOH solution
of unknown concentration. Call it X M NaOH. Your objective in this lab is to solve for X, and since
each lab group has a unique volume combination of these two solutions, each group will have a
different value for X (so don’t try using someone else’s correct value for X!)
5. Repeat steps 1-3 above placing your X M NaOH in the “blue” buret. Again record the NaOH level in the table below.
6. Place the Erlenmeyer flask under the HCl buret, open the stopcock and allow 10 -12 mL of the HCl to flow into the flask. Then close the stopcock. Add 2 drops of the phenolphthalein indicator to the HCl in the flask.
7. Place the Erlenmeyer flask under the NaOH buret and open the stopcock to allow approximately 5-8 mL of the NaOH to flow into the flask while continuously swirling the flask. Observe the color changes occurring. Continue to add the NaOH slowly while swirling the flask. When a faint pink color appears and persists for 10 seconds or more while swirling the flask, you have reached your endpoint. Note: It is important to realize that if you accidentally pass your endpoint, you can add a little more HCl to the flask which will cause the solution to become colorless again. You can then add the NaOH slowly to the flask again and attempt once more to carefully reach the endpoint. This is known as “back-titrating.”
8. When you have reached the endpoint, record both of the HCl and NaOH final buret readings in the table below (again to the bottom of the meniscus and again to the hundredth of a mL).
9. Calculate the molarity of the NaOH solution, showing your work in the space provided below.
10. Pour the faint pink solution out of the flask (into the sink) and repeat the titration again-- no need to rinse the flask, only this time using 13-15 mL of the HCl solution. Don’t forget to record the initial levels – they should be the final levels from the previous trial unless you had to add some more solution. You should estimate how much NaOH you will need for this titration based on the information that you gathered from the first titration. (Think proportions… ) This will let you get very close to the endpoint… then go drop-wise to get the precise end-point.
11. Calculate the molarity of the NaOH solution from the second trial. Is it close to the results from your first trial?
12. Repeat steps 10 and 11 above for a third and final trial. If your three values are all pretty close then average them. If there is an obvious outlier, then throw it out if you want to. It’s up to you, but when you have finished, bring it up to the instructor. Since he knows the concentrations of B1 and B2, he can quickly determine, based on the two volumes above,
the NaOH concentration you were supposed to get. You will be graded on your accuracy of your final answer, so do a careful job – with the original mixing, with the titration, and with the calculations!

ABSOLUTE ZERO LAB: How low can you go? Name: __________________ Partner: _________________
The temperature of a gas sample is a measurement of how fast the particles in that sample are moving. (More precisely, it’s a measurement of the average kinetic energy of the particles). As we heat up a gas sample, its particles move faster and faster (the kinetic energy increases), and as we cool it down, the particles move slower and slower (the kinetic energy decreases). If that is true, it only stands to reason that there must be a lower limit to the temperature scale, a temperature where the particles have stopped moving all together! And one could never get anything colder than that temperature, for if the particles have stopped moving, they obviously can’t move any slower. This minimum temperature does in fact exist, and it is called absolute zero. Certainly, the Celsius scale is not an absolute scale, for one can easily reach temperatures below zero degrees Celsius. 0°C is just the temperature where water freezes, and even when water freezes, its particles are still vibrating at hundreds of miles per hour! You would have to cool something down a lot further to get its particles to stop moving all together. Most people have heard of liquid nitrogen and consider it to be very cold, and it is: -196°C. Nonetheless, even at this low temperature, particles still have quite a bit of kinetic energy left. So how low do you have to go to reach absolute zero? Even though we can’t get that low, we can determine how low that temperature is in a rather simple way:
First, remember that a gas sample is mostly empty space. The particle themselves are so small, we can pretty much ignore their size. It is the space between the particles that accounts for 99.9% of a gas’s volume. And what keeps this space between the particles is the fact that the particles are constantly moving around and bouncing off one another. As the sample cools down, and the particles slow down, it should be easy to see that they would not create as much space between them, and so the volume would decrease. It follows then that if we can cool a gas down far enough so that the particles stop moving, we could get rid of all of the space between the particles and the volume would become essentially zero. We can’t get that cold, but we can measure the volume of some gas samples at a high temperature and then measure their volumes again at lower temperature. We can then plot these data and extrapolate backwards to determine approximately how cold we would have to get the samples to make their volumes zero.
Procedure:
1. Obtain three syringes, (A) filled with a large volume of N2, (B) filled with
a medium volume of N2, and (C) filled with a small volume of N2.
2. Hold all three of them in the cold water bath submerged just to the plunger
(as shown at right) for 1 minute. While still in the cold water, push down on
the plunger and release. Take a volume reading when the plunger stops
moving. Repeat this for each of the three syringes. Also, take a temperature
reading. Record these in the table below.
3. Repeat step 2 in the warm water bath, and then again in the hot water bath.

Treatment of the data:
Plot your temperature and volume measurements on the graph provided. Plot all the data on the same graph, but use different symbols for A, B and C (for example, use an O for A, an X for B and a ∆ for C -- plot these points as precisely as possible). Look at the data points for sample A, they should show a high volume at the high temperature, a medium volume at the middle temperature and a small volume at the low temperature. Draw a best fit straight line (use a straight edge) through these three points. Then extend (extrapolate) this line backwards to determine how cold you would have to get that sample to cause its volume to be zero. Repeat this technique with samples B and C. Then answer the questions below.

21. List three major error sources that might have caused your absolute zero value to be off.
Boyle’s Law Lab: Pressure vs. Volume Name: __________ Partner: _______
One thing that you may have already learned about gases is that as temperature increases, the average speed of the particles increases. They collide harder and more often and thus push away from each other, causing the volume to increase. Charles’ Law states: with pressure held constant, temperature and volume vary directly. A graph of volume (in mL) vs. temperature (in Kelvins) would be a straight line, passing through the origin, as shown at right:
From the reading, and from class discussion, you have probably come to appreciate that pressure and volume do not vary directly; as the pressure on a gas sample increases, the volume decreases (and vise-versa). Think about pushing in on the plunger of the closed-end syringe: the more pressure you apply, the smaller the volume gets. Think also about placing an air filled balloon in the bell jar and then turning the vacuum pump on to pump air out. As the pressure in the bell jar decreases, the volume of the balloon increases. Boyle’s Law states: with temperature held constant, pressure and volume vary inversely. How do you think a graph of volume as a function of pressure would look? Right now, sketch your idea on the axes at right:
In this lab, you will examine this inverse relationship by subjecting a sample of air to a variety of pressures. You will also use the data you collect to determine the air pressure in the room.
Procedure:
1. Obtain a pressurized soda bottle from the instructor. Notice that inside the bottle is a closed-end syringe with a trapped volume of air. What do you predict would happen to this volume if some of the pressure is let out of the bottle? Use the nub on the backside of the gauge to push down slightly on the center of the valve stem until the piston in the syringe just barely starts to move. Was your prediction correct?
2. Use the tire gauge to take a pressure reading. To do this, press the gauge quickly and securely against the valve stem, allowing the incremented bar to shoot out freely from the open end. If you accidentally block the bar, press it in and try again. Also, do not press the gauge lightly against the stem... this will just let out air and will not give an accurate pressure reading. The measurement must be quick and deliberate. Record the gauge pressure in the table below.
3. Now take a precise volume reading of the air in the syringe: make sure you are reading at the correct place as shown at right. Record this volume in the table below, alongside the corresponding pressure gauge reading.
4. Again press down lightly on the center of the valve stem to let some more air out: this time enough to make the volume of the syringe change by about 0.5 - 0.7 mL. Reset the pressure gauge by sliding the bar back inside, then repeat steps 2 and 3 above.
5. Repeat this process three more times to get a total of five pressure / volume readings. If you mess up, simply have the bottle re-pressurized and try again.
Graph #1 (V as a function of P):
On the back-side, recopy these data in the table provided; then plot the data points using the x-axis for gauge pressure and the y-axis for air volume. You will have to decide how best to scale the axes, but have the origin be 0, 0 and plan it out so that the data fill the graph as much as possible. Don’t forget to label your axes with the variable and the units [example time (s)], and to title the graph. Once the points are plotted, draw a best fit straight or curved line, whichever seems appropriate. (DO NOT DO A CONNECT-THE-DOT). How accurate were you at predicting the shape of the line?
Calculations:
One way of stating mathematically that two properties vary inversely is to say that their product is a constant (that when you multiply the two values, you always get the same number: in other words: P1 x V1 = P2 x V2 = P3 x V3 ....). Recopy your data from the front side onto the table below and then calculate the products,
writing them in the spaces provided:
How consistent are your results (that is, how much did P x V stay constant)?
The reason your results were not consistent was because of the tire gauge. The pressure values it shows are not actual pressures, they are relative pressures. The gauge tells you how many extra psi were in the bottle, above and beyond the air pressure around the gauge. Consider for example what the gauge would report the pressure to be if you connected it to a flat tire or to a bottle that were not pressurized at all. It would read “0 psi”. Yet we know there is not a vacuum inside; there is just normal atmospheric pressure (about 14.7 psi, that’s considered standard pressure). Thus a pressure gauge reading of 10.0 psi means the pressure inside is actually about 24.7 psi. And when you inflate your car tires to the recommended 30.0 psi, you are actually inflating them to about 44.7 psi. That means all your pressure gauge readings in the lab are too low, by about 14.7 psi.
Rather than saying “about 14.7 psi” for atmospheric pressure, let’s call it “X” and use some of your data lines above to get an experimental value for X. If, for example, your first and second data lines looked like the ones at right, you would have already noticed that P1V1 didn’t equal P2V2. But that’s because the P values were both too low by an amount X. If we set up the equality incorporating X, we have:
(48.0 + X) x 2.0 = (24.5 + X) x 3.1 which distributes out to: 96 + 2.0X = 76 + 3.1X
Combining like terms gives: 1.1 X = 20, which simplifies to X = 18 psi (pretty close to the accepted value of 14.7 psi). Repeat these calculations below using your data. First, do this calculation using the first and second data lines as shown above, then repeat the calculation using the first and last data lines: (Which calculation do you think will give better results?
first and second data lines: first and last data lines:
Ans: _____ Ans: _____
Graph #2 (1/V as a function of P)
You may be wondering at this point whether you can derive a value for atmospheric pressure from all the data at once by using some graphing technique. It turns out that you can. You discovered that the graph for V as a function of p gives a curve like the one shown at right (A). Again, this is known as an inverse relationship. But what about the inverse of V (that is, 1/V) as a function of P? That graph turns out to be a straight line that passes through the origin as shown in the second graph at right (B). But what about a graph of 1/V as a function of P in which all the P values were too low by a constant amount x? That would simply shift the line to the left by precisely x, so that instead of intercepting the x-axis at the origin (0,0), it would intercept it at the point (-x,0) as shown in graph C at right. So, copy the data once more in the table below, and this time calculate 1/V for each volume (for instance, if V = 2.5 mL, then 1/V would equal 1/2.5 = 0.40. Then on the graph below, plot 1/V as a function of the gauge pressure. Draw a best-fit straight line through the data, and extrapolate it backwards to see where it crosses the x-axis. This value represents the correction factor for the gauge pressure readings. In other words, this value represents the negative of the atmospheric pressure. If, for example, the line crosses the x-axis at -13.2 psi, that would imply an atmospheric pressure of 13.2 psi, and if 13.2 psi were added to each gauge pressure reading, it would shift the entire graph to the right and allow it to pass through the origin.
Based on your graph, what value do you get for the atmospheric pressure? ______
Title:
Questions:
1. When some of the pressure was released from the bottle, the syringe plunger moved up. Why did this happen?

R Lab Name: _______________________
You have learned that “R” is the gas law constant that relates a gas sample’s pressure, volume, number of moles and temperature. Given any three of these properties, R allows you to determine the value of the fourth. But how is R itself determined? In this lab you will measure – directly or indirectly – P, V, n and T, and then use them to determine an experimental value for R. To do this you will use a chemical
reaction that produces a gas – then use stoichiometry to determine the number of moles of the gas, collect this gas in a long incremented test tube – so you will know the volume of the gas, look up the current local barometric pressure and make the necessary adjustments on it to determine the pressure of the gas, and of course use a thermometer to measure the temperature of the gas.
Procedure:
1) Obtain a piece of magnesium ribbon, and use a metric ruler to measure very precisely its lengths (top and bottom) in cm. Record these in the data table below. Then roll the ribbon up into a small coil as shown at right. Loop a small wire through the coil and pass the other end of the wire through the hole in the small end of a rubber stopper. Set this aside.
2) Holding the bottom end of gas collecting tube in the sink to catch any spillage, carefully add
about 8-10 mL of 3 M HCl solution. Then add tap water on top of the HCl all the way to the
very top of the tube. Clamp this tube vertically in the buret clamp. Now insert the magnesium coil and stopper into the tube. Be sure there is no air pocket. (If there is, remove the stopper, add some more water, and reinsert the stopper.)
3) Now, carefully flip the tube over, holding the stopper in place as you do so, and place the stoppered end in the plastic cup filled with water. Then clamp the tube in this position. Observe what happens as the more dense HCl solution streams through the water – this is an effect known as schlieren.* As you are waiting for the reaction to happen, go to one of the computers and record the current reported barometric pressure. Then do the moles calculation – #1 below.
4) Once the reaction starts, observe the magnesium. Eventually enough will have reacted that what’s left may break away and float to the top. This is OK, as long as it continues to react and doesn’t get stuck on the side of the tube. Watch for this. Once the reaction is over, make a measurement of the volume – as always, use the black band to accentuate the meniscus and read from the bottom of the meniscus. Also, be careful: the scale is upside down. Record this volume in the table below.
5) Take the temperature of the water in the
cup, which we will take to be the temperature
of the gas. Record this in the table below.
6) Finally, measure the height of the water
column beneath the gas sample in the tube.
Record this in the table.
Calculations:
1) Moles: Usually to determine the number of moles of a substance, you simply weigh the sample and divide the mass by the molecular weight, but since gases have such low densities, they are almost impossible to weigh accurately. So instead, we started with a small piece of a solid – magnesium – and used it to generate a gas. So, write the balanced equation for the reaction that happens between HCl and Mg (Hint: remember: it produces a gas.)
Balanced equation: ______________________________________.
Now, calculate how many moles of gas were produced. You could have weighed the magnesium first, then simply converted grams Mg ( moles Mg, then used the balanced equation to convert moles Mg (moles H2. If you had done this, however, you would have found that the tiny piece of Mg was so light that even on our best scale that reads to the thousandth of a gram, it wouldn’t have given us a very precise mass – probably only one or two sig figs. So instead, the length and mass of a very long magnesium ribbon were measured and this information is posted on the board. Now, take the average of the two lengths you measured, and – using the conversion posted on the board – convert from cm Mg ( g Mg ( moles Mg ( moles H2. This will
require three factor label steps:
moles H2 = _______
*schlieren = visible streaks produced in a transparent medium as a result of variations in the medium's density leading to variations in refractive index
2) Pressure: There are four corrections that need to be made to get us from a reported barometric pressure (in inches of Hg) to the actual pressure of the H2 gas in the tube (in torr).
A) First, convert the reported barometric pressure from inches Hg to mmHg. Use factor label: 1 inch = 25.4 mm. And since a “mm Hg” is the same thing as a “torr.” We now have reported barometric pressure in torr.
Show work: Reported barometric pressure = _________ torr
B) As it turns out, the reported barometric pressure is not the actual barometric pressure. (That’s right! The meteorologists are lying to us!) Reported barometric pressures have all been adjusted to sea level elevation. In other words, the reported barometric pressure in Kirkwood at a given time is what the pressure would be if Kirkwood were at sea level. (The reason for doing this will be discussed in the follow-up questions.) But Kirkwood is obviously not at sea level. KHS, for example, is at an elevation of 222 m (639 ft). As you move upward through the atmosphere, the air gets progressively thinner and thinner and this decreases the pressure by 0.0866 torr for every meter. So a meteorologist measures the pressure in Kirkwood and adds 222 m x (0.0866 torr/1 m) = 19.2 torr to it to report what the pressure would be at sea level. So to determine the actual barometric pressure, simply take the value from A above and subtract 19.2 torr from it.
(If you had done this lab at Flagstaff High school in AZ (2114 m) you would be subtracting 183.1 torr instead
Actual barometric pressure = __________ torr
C) So… that’s the actual pressure in the room, but it is not the pressure inside the gas collecting tube. If the pressures were the same, the liquid levels inside and outside the tube would be even. Since the level inside the tube is in fact higher, it must mean that the pressure outside the tube is greater – enough to push the water up by ________ cm. And this is equal to _________ mm. And since water’s density is 1 g/mL and mercury’s density is 13.6 g/mL, simply divide the mm water by 13.6 to convert this column of water into an equivalent column of mercury: ________ mmHg
And since a mmHg is the same as a torr, subtract this number from the actual barometric pressure in the room to get the actual pressure in the tube.
Pressure in tube: _______torr
D) Finally, we would be done with all these pressure adjustments if the gas inside the tube were pure hydrogen, but since the hydrogen was collected over water, and water is always evaporating, there is a little water vapor mixed in. The pressure of that vapor (known as “vapor pressure”) is related to the temperature of the water by the graph at right. Use this graph along with the water temperature you recorded to find what the vapor pressure was inside the tube: __________ torr
Now subtract that vapor pressure from the total pressure in the tube (the one derived in part C above) to determine the pressure of just the hydrogen gas in the tube
Hydrogen gas pressure: ________torr
3) Volume: Easy, just convert mL into L (you should know how to do this!): Volume = ___________ L
4) Temperature: Also easy, just convert *C into K (you should know how to do this too!): Temperature = _________ K
5) R: Now that you have all the pieces… Since PV = nRT, we can rewrite this as R = PV/nT
So… calculate your PxV = ___________ L torr and your n x T = _____________ mol K. R = _______________
6) Pooling class data. Go to the desktop computer and enter your nxT and then your PxV values. These will be graphed (PV as a function of nT). At right, sketch what you think this graph will look like. What purpose would this graph serve?
Follow up questions:
1. One thing that was not mentioned was that the long piece of magnesium ribbon was buffed with piece of steel wool until it was completely shiny. Why was this important to do?
2. Should this buffing of the magnesium be done before or after the ribbon’s length and mass were measured? ________ Why?
3. The 3M HCl solution has a density of about 1.04 g/mL, and water has a density of 1.00 g/mL If the HCl had been less dense than the water, why would the procedure not have worked the same?
4. Magnesium has a density of 1.74 g/mL – which is pretty low for a metal, but still much greater than the density of the water or the HCl solution. So why did the little piece of Mg float up to the top of the tube when it broke free of the wire loop.
5. When Sammy flipped the tube over, a bubble of air somehow got in. “Oh great, he said, “Now we have to start all over!” “Oh no we don’t!” said his astute lab partner Sally… What did Sally realize they could do?
6. You repeat the entire experiment in Denver and record the following data. Determine R based on this information.

7. Why magnesium? Give at least two reasons for this choice.
8. So why do meteorologists adjust all their reported barometric pressures to sea level? Hint, look at the map at right and consider how it would look if the pressures were not adjusted.
9. For each of the following potential error sources, write “H” if it would have made the R value come out too high, “L” if it would have made the R value come out too low, or “X” if it would not have had any effect at all.

one that would throw off your experimental R value the most) to lowest impact. ___ ___ ___ ___ ___

Powers of Ten Video Script
The picnic near the lakeside in Chicago is the start of a lazy afternoon early one October.
We begin with a scene one meter wide which we view from just one meter away.
Now every 10 seconds we will look from 10 times farther away and our field of view will be 10 times wider. This square is 10 meters wide, and in 10 seconds the next square will be 10 times as wide.
Our picture will center on the picnickers even after they’ve been lost to sight.
100 meters wide, the distance a man can run in 10 seconds. Cars crowd the highway, powerboats lie at their docks – the colorful bleachers are Soldier’s Field.
This square is a kilometer wide (1000 meters) the distance a racing car can travel in 10 seconds.
We see the great city on the lakeshore...
104 meters (10 kilometers): the distance a supersonic airplane can travel in 10 seconds. We see first the rounded end of Lake Michigan, then the whole great lake.
105 meters, the distance an orbiting satellite covers in 10 seconds. Long parades of clouds: today’s weather in the Middle West.
106 meters (a one with six zeros), a million meters – soon the Earth will show as a solid sphere.
We are able to see the whole Earth now just over a minute along the journey. The Earth diminishes into the distance, but those background stars are so much farther away that they do not yet appear to move.
A line extends at the true speed of light: in one second it half crosses the tilted orbit of the moon.
Now we mark a small part of the path in which the Earth moves about the sun –now the orbital paths of the neighbor planets -- Venus... and Mars... then Mercury.
Entering our field of view is the glowing center of our solar system: the sun, followed by the massive outer planets, swinging wide in their big orbits. That odd orbit belongs to Pluto. A fringe of a myriad commits too faint to see completes the solar system.
1014 -- as the solar system shrinks to one bright point in the distance, our sun is plainly now only one among the stars. Looking back from here we note four southern constellations still much as they appear from the far side of the Earth.
This square is 1016 meters -- one light year -- not yet out to the next star. Our last 10 second step took us 10 light years further, the next will be 100. Our perspective changes so much in each step now that even the background stars will appear to converge.
At last we pass the bright star Arcturus and some stars of the dipper. Normal but quite unfamiliar stars and clouds of gas surround us as we traverse the Milky Way Galaxy.
Giant steps carry us into the outskirts of the galaxy, and as we pull away we begin to see the great flat spiral facing us. The time and path we chose to leave Chicago has brought us out of the galaxy along a course nearly perpendicular to the disk. The two little satellite galaxies of our own are the Clouds of Magellan.
1022 power -- a million light years -- Groups of galaxies bring a new level of structure to the scene: glowing points are no longer single stars but whole galaxies of stars seen as one. We pass the big Virgo cluster of galaxies among many others 100 million light years out.
As we approach the limit of our vision, we pause to start back home. This lonely scene, the galaxies like dust, is what most of space looks like. This emptiness is normal; the richness of our own neighborhood is the exception.
The trip back to the picnic on the lake front will be a sped up version, reducing the distance to the Earth’s surface by one power of ten every 2 seconds. In each 2 seconds we will appear to cover 90% of the remaining distance back to Earth. Notice the alternation between great inactivity and relative activity, a rhythm that will continue all the way into our next goal: a proton in the nucleus of a carbon atom, beneath the skin on the hand of the sleeping man at the picnic.
109 meters, 108 ...7 ...6 ...5 ...4 ...3 ...2 ...1 We are back at our starting point. We slow up at 1 meter (10 to the zero power). Now we reduce the distance to our final destination by 90% every 10 seconds: each step much smaller than the one before.
At 10-2 -- one one-hundredth of a meter (1 centimeter), we approach the surface of the hand. In a few seconds we will be entering the skin, crossing layer after layer, from the outermost dead cells into a tiny blood vessel within. Skin layers vanish in turn an outer layer of cells -- fealty collagen... the capillary containing red blood cells... and a ruffly lymphocyte.
We enter the white cell -- among its vital organelles, the porous wall of the cell nucleus appears.
The nucleus within holds the heredity of the man in the coiled coils of DNA.
As we close in, we come to the double helix itself. A molecule like a long twisted ladder whose rungs of paired bases spell out twice in an alphabet of four letters the words of the powerful genetic message.
At the atomic scale, the interplay of form and motion becomes more visible.
We focus on one commonplace group of three hydrogen atoms bonded by electrical forces to a carbon atom. Four electrons make up the outer shell of the carbon itself. They appear in quantum motion as a swarm of shimmering points.
At 10-10 meters (1 Angstrom), we find ourselves right among those outer electrons. Now we come upon the two inner electrons held in a tighter swarm. As we draw toward the atom’s attracting center, we enter upon a vast inner space.
At last, the carbon nucleus-- so massive and so small. This carbon nucleus is made up of six protons and six neutrons. We are in a domain of universal modules: there are protons and neutrons in every nucleus, electrons in every atom, atoms bonded into every molecule out to the farthest galaxy.
As a single proton fills our scene, we reach the edge of present understanding. Are these some quarks of intense interaction?
Our journey has taken us through 40 powers of ten. If now the field is one unit, then when we saw many clusters of galaxies together, it was 1040 or one and forty zeros.
Cartesian Diver Silent Lab 20 pts Name: ________________ Assigned lab station: _____
The following lab will be done individually (no partners) and in complete silence (no talking). Any talking will result in a loss of points ( 2 pts first offense, then 4 more points, then three strikes you’re out -- you’ll be asked to sit down, and you’ll need to come in and do the lab after school to avoid getting a zero.)
This lab is mostly an exercise in following directions and figuring out things on your own. That’s why you’re doing the lab individually and with no help from one another.
Background: This whole experiment is about a small toy called a “Cartesian diver.” This toy is designed to be placed in a plastic soda bottle filled with water, the cap screwed on and as the bottle is squeezed, the toy dives to the bottom of the bottle; when the squeeze is released, the toy floats back up to the top.
Procedure (Answer the questions as you go):
1. When you are ready, go to your assigned lab station. You should find the following equipment there:
-- one plastic soda bottle filled with water.
(Add a little water if necessary to bring the level up to within 2 cm of the very top)
-- one testing tank (a large, cut-off soda bottle filled about two-thirds with water.)
-- three “divers” labeled 1, 2, 3. (a “diver” is a cut-off plastic pipet with a hex nut screwed on)
-- one “diver” labeled “4,” half-filled with colored water and sealed.
-- one long wire hook
-- one permanent marker
2. If any of the numbers have rubbed off the pipets, bring them to the instructor to renumber:
As you handle the divers, try not to touch the numbers, they rub off pretty easily.
3. Pick up diver #1. Do you think it will float or sink when placed in water? _________
Place the diver into the testing tank. Does it float or sink? _______
Both the plastic pipet and the hex nut are more
dense than water, so why does the diver float? ________________________________________
4. Now place the diver in the soda bottle, and screw the cap on tightly. Squeeze the bottle, gradually harder and
harder. While you are squeezing, watch carefully what is going on inside the diver.
What do you observe? ____________________________________
In the boxes at right draw close-up pictures before and after the squeeze to show
what changes are going on inside the diver: (draw divers as large as they are shown above.)
Were you able to squeeze the bottle hard enough to get the diver
to sink to the bottom of the bottle? ______ If not, don’t worry about it (although you
may want to start hitting the weight room once in a while!)
5. Unscrew the cap, and use the hook to fish the diver out of the bottle.
Place the diver back in the testing tank.
6. Squeeze the diver to force out about 14-16 air bubbles, then release the squeeze to draw up about 1 mL of water into
the diver. Let go of the diver in the testing tank. Does the diver still float? ______ Does it float higher or lower in the
water compared to how it was in step #3? ___________ Why? ____________________________________________
7. Repeat step 4. What is different this time? _____________________________________________________
8. Repeat step 5. Then squeeze a little more air out of the diver and let a little more water back in.
See if it floats or sinks: ____________
9. Adjust the density of the diver so it just barely floats. In other words, get just the right amount of air in the diver so that it floats with its top just barely above the water level in the tank as shown at right:
[If you squeeze out too much air, and the diver sinks in the tank, then lift it out of the tank, squeeze out a drop or two of water, and then release the squeeze to draw some air back into the diver. If the diver still sinks, repeat this step until it floats again.]
10. When you have the diver just barely floating, place the diver in the bottle, screw the cap on and
bring it up to show to the instructor (3 pts.) along with this sheet with the questions above completed (2 pts).
11. Take the bottle back to your station and fish out the diver, and place it back in the testing tank.
12. Place divers #2 and #3 into the testing tank, and adjust their densities so they each barely float. Then fine tune the densities of all three so that when the divers are placed in the bottle, capped screwed on and the bottle squeezed with just one hand, the divers will go down in order -- 1 sinking first, then 2, then 3. This is something you have to figure out how to do on your own. When you have this task completed, bring it up to show the instructor that you can get your divers to go down in order using just one hand to squeeze the bottle.(3 pts).
13. Obtain a quick quiz from the instructor, sit down at your desk, fill it out and hand it back in (8 pts).
14. Now that you (hopefully) understand how a Cartesian diver works, do you think a diver would still work (go up and down) if its opening were plugged up with glue like diver #4 ? (Y/N) ____ Explain how it could work...or why it wouldn’t work:
15. Now take all the other divers out of the bottle and empty the water back into the testing tank, and place the sealed diver (#4) inside the bottle. Screw on the cap and squeeze the bottle gradually harder and harder. While you’re squeezing watch carefully what is happening to the diver.
What do you observe? ___________________________________
In the boxes at right draw close-up pictures before and after the squeeze to show what
changes are going on inside the diver: (draw divers as large as they are shown above.)
Explain how, even though the diver was sealed, it was still able to dive when the bottle was squeezed:
16. Clean up your area, leaving it just the way you found it. When you have finished, call the instructor over to check your clean-up (2pts)
If there are more than 20 minutes left in the class, try one or more of the bonus activities.
Bonus A (+2): Bottle A at the front table has a sunken diver in it. Try squeezing the bottle edgewise as shown at right.
What happens? _________________________
Explain:
Bonus B (+1): Bottle B has a diver floating in it, but bottle B is made of glass. Try squeezing this bottle very hard and see what happens. What does this tell you about glass?
Bonus C (+2): Bottles with C’s on them have floating divers with hooks and sunken divers with handles. Try using the hook to pick up the sunken diver and bring him to the surface. Show this to the instructor to get the credit on this one.
Bonus D (+2) Cartesian divers have been around for centuries -- long before they had plastic pipets and plastic soda bottles. So what might the diver and container have been made of? Draw a picture:
Cartesian Diver Lab Questions Name: _______________________
1. Explain using words and diagrams precisely how the Cartesian diver works. Your explanation should include words like “pressure,” “air pocket,” “density,” “compressible,” “volume,” “mass,” etc. Why does squeezing the bottle make the diver sink? Why does releasing the squeeze make the diver float back up?
2. Your explanation above of how a diver works probably depends on the diver being open on the bottom. Yet in the lab and the movie, you saw a closed-bottom (sealed) diver. Describe how it behaves differently than a regular open-ended diver. Explain using words and diagrams why it still works.
3. How does the ability of the diver to dive depend on the fact that gases are compressible and that liquids are not?
4. If you wanted to make a series of divers, like in the movie, that spelled out a word like “H-E-L-L-O,” how would you do it? Use words and diagrams.
5. In the movie, you also saw a diver with glitter fountaining up inside. Explain, using words and diagrams how it was made. Was it an open diver or a closed one?
6. In the movie, you also saw a Jaws diver whose mouth opened up when it dived. Explain, using words and diagrams how it was made. Was it an open diver or a closed one?
7. In the movie, you also saw a Rudolf the red nose diver whose nose lit up when it dived. Explain, using words and diagrams how it was made. Was it an open diver or a closed one?
8. You also saw a wadded-up piece of aluminum foil work as a diver. Explain how that would work.
9. A nail is pushed into a piece of styrofoam packing material. Do you think that would work as a diver? Explain.
10. A candle (which floats) is tied to a paper clip. Do you think that would work as a diver? Explain.
11. What, if anything, would you have had to do differently in the diver lab if you had used...
a) ...oil instead of water?
b) ...a heavier hex nut?
c) ...a small pipet?
d) ...a larger bottle?
e) ...helium instead of air?
12. A Cartesian diver is stuck on the bottom, with not quite enough air to get it to the top. List five different ways to get the sunken diver to the top of the bottle, and explain why you think each would work. (Hint: Think of the different factors you’ve learned about that affect a gas’s volume.)
1)
2)
3)
4)

13. Sometimes, if a diver is set to be very sensitive, so it is just barely less dense than water, it will sink just fine, but then when the squeeze is released, it does not float back up, even though no air has been lost out of it. Explain why that happens.
Eudiometer Lab (15 pts) Name: _____________ Partner: _____________
A eudiometer is a device used to measure changes in gas volumes during a chemical reaction. Watch the video of a eudiometer in action. Then in the space at right explain how one works, including before and after diagrams. Make sure to explain what happens to the product.
Now consider the four substances: below, jot down everything you can about each of them in terms of how reactive they are or what they are made up of – perhaps demos or labs we have done this year that featured them.
H2 (hydrogen)
O2 (oxygen)
He (helium)
Air
Now in this lab, you will be given 4 syringes: one contains oxygen, one contains hydrogen, one contains helium, and one contains ordinary air. If you know your chemistry, you should realize that of the six possible pairings, only two combinations will react – one much more vigorously than the other. Answer questions A through D below.
A: Which two gases would react most vigorously? ___ ___
B: Write a balanced equation for this reaction: ________________________
C: And which combination would react, but not as vigorously? ___ ___
D: Why will it be less vigorous? _________________________________________________________
Task #1 (10 pts): Figure out which gas is which. Advice: Use the
gases sparingly. Once the syringes are empty, that’s it: no refills
(unless you come in after school!) H2 = ______ O2 = ______ He = ______ air = ______
Task #2 (3 pts): Place some mixture of gases in the eudiometer with a total volume of between 6 mL and 8 mL, and have the volume after the reaction be precisely 4.0 mL. (Rounds to 4 mL = full credit, right on 4.0 mL = +1 bonus!)
Task #3 (2 pts): Place some mixture of gases in the eudiometer with a total volume of between 6 mL and 8 mL, and have the volume after the reaction be precisely 1 mL. (Rounds to 1 mL = full credit, right on 1.0 mL = +1 bonus!)
Task #4 (BONUS 5 pts): Collect data from the eudiometer that will enable you to determine the percent oxygen in air. You will want to use about 6-7 mL of air and about 6-7 mL of hydrogen. Show your data and calculations below.
As soon as you can, bring the cup containing the four syringes up to the instructor, and get a new set to take back to your lab bench for the next period.ow
