CHEM 235 Lecture Notes - Lecture 6: Sodium Bicarbonate, Litmus, Graduated Cylinder
Document Summary
Equipment: glass filtering funnel filter paper litmus paper. 2 - 125 ml erlenmeyer flasks + corks dropper. 2 - 50 ml erlenmeyer flasks + corks all small & medium test tubes. Highly flammable. keep away from open heat sources. may form explosive. Dilute with plenty of water and wash down sink. Wash down sink with plenty of water. Solubility tests of mixture: add a few finely grounded crystals of unknown solid mixture to a small test tube, look for the schlieren lines in solution just below solid material containing 2-3 ml of solvent being tested. If all solid disappears both compounds are . If some solid remains but lines detected mixture is . Colours appearing in the solvent also indicate dissolving: mix test tube to increase rate of solubility (record observation for each solvent) If one of the unknowns is a carboxylic acid, its solubility in dilute nahco 3 be accompanied by the evolution of a gas.
