Measuring the concentration of lead as (Pb²⁺) in paint samples using an atomic absorption instrument. A primary standard solution of aqueous Pb(NO₃)₂ is used to prepare standards for calibrating the instrument. Weighed out 0.2500 g of primary standard grade Pb(NO₃)₂ quantitatively transfers it to a container and dissolves it in DI water for a total solution volume of 250 mL. Various pieces of glassware are available including a 250 +/- 0.8mL graduated cylinder and 250 +/- 0.12 mL volumetric flask.

b. Estimate the uncertainty associated with preparing the solution using 1) the volumetric flask and 20 the graduated cylinder. Report the uncertainty as a range of concentrations (ppm Pb). Compare results.

c. What do these ranges of concentrations reveal about the difference in accuracy between the graduated cylinder and the volumetric flask? Explain using results from part b above, why volumetric flasks should always be chosen over graduated cylinders for analytical methods.

1-How many grams of NaCl would be needed to prepare 150.00 L of a 1.402 M NaCl solution?

............................................................................................................................................................................

2- first a standardized solution of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) will be quantitatively diluted to about 0.1 M but not exactly 0.1M. The molarity of the dilute NaOH will be calculated! A similar quantitative dilution was done in experiment 3 when you diluted 5.0 M HCl to 0.50M HCl using a volumetric flask and pipet.

The second part of the experiment is very similar to the last part of experiment 6 where samples of the unknown were weighed out, dissolved in water, and titrated with the dilute NaOH using phenolphthalein as the indicator to determine the percent by mass of a compound in the unknown. The compound will be different than the compound used in experiment 6. The molecular formula of the compound will be provided during the final. You must know how to weigh by difference (Preweigh, tare sample and small container to zero, transfer sample to flask, and place the small container back on balance to get mass) and titrate the sample using the buret in order to do well.

Be sure to read the instructions for the practical toward the end the CHM151L lab manual and do the practice problem on the next page.

You will have 1.5 hours to do the practical. You may only use a calculator and a pencil on the practical. There is no talking during the practical such that students cannot help each other and the TA may only help you with equipment problems.

It would be a good idea to wash any glassware you might use the lab period before the lab practical. There will also be a help session before the lab practical.

At the end of the lab final you will wash all glassware used or any dirty glassware in your locker, wash your unknown vials and remove the labels, checkin your locker and return your key, and evaluate the lab.

Please put the following statements in the correct order relating to the day of the lab practical:
1 2 3 4 5 6 Wash all your glassware and unknown vials, checkin your locker, evaluate the lab, and check your grades.
1 2 3 4 5 6 Do at least 3 good trials (weigh and titrate sample) as time allows.
1 2 3 4 5 6 Start the lab practical by diluting the NaOH solution.
1 2 3 4 5 6 Before the day of the practical clean glassware, read the practical instructions and do the practice problem in the lab manual and complete the loncapa problems for the final.
1 2 3 4 5 6 Calculate the molarity of the dilute NaOH, the percent by mass of the compound in you unknown for each trial and then the median.
1 2 3 4 5 6 Come to the help session before the lab final.

Question for Study

1. A student performed this lab exercise, generating the following data:

Mass of H5IO6 used: 1.2320 g

Volume of thiosulfate used in blank titration: 47.93 mL

Volume of thiosulfate used in the unknown titration: 39.23 mL

a. What is the concentration of the sodium thiosulfate solution?

b. How many mmol of I3 â were present in the blank titration?

c. How many mmol of I3 â were present in the unknown titration?

d. How many mmol of glycol were present in the unknown titration?

e. What mass of ethylene glycol should be reported?

Introduction

The chemical analysis of organic compounds often presents major experimental difficulties. An accurate analysis depends upon the sample undergoing a single, well-defined reaction which quickly goes to completion. Often, organic compounds undergo several different reactions at the same time, and reaction rates are sometimes quite slow.

A functional-group analysis is one in which a particular grouping of atoms in a compound is made to react in a specific well-defined way with a particular reagent.1 In this experiment use is made of the reaction between an oxidizing reagent and an organic compound with the functional group COH-COH.

Analysis of Ethylene Glycol

Ethylene glycol reacts with periodate ion to form formaldehyde and iodate:

+ ð¼ð4 â â 2 ð»2ð¶ð +ð¼ð3 â + ð»2ð (8-1)

This oxidation-reduction reaction will proceed to completion with negligible side reactions under the appropriate set of conditions. The reaction is slow, but increases with increasing concentration of periodate. Here a known, fixed amount of periodate in excess of that needed to completely react with the glycol is added to the unknown. After the glycol has reacted, an excess of iodide is added to the solution. The iodide reacts with unreacted periodate according to:

ð¼ð4 â + 11 ð¼ â + 8 ð» + â 4 ð¼3 â +4 ð»2ð (8-2)

The iodide also reacts with the iodate produced in reaction 8-1 according to:

ð¼ð3 â + 8 ð¼ â + 6 ð» + â 3 ð¼3 â + 3 ð»2ð (8-3)

The triiodide produced in these reactions is then determined by titration with thiosulfate:

ð¼3 â +2 ð2ð3 2â â 3 ð¼ â + ð4ð6 2â (8-4)

To find the glycol content, a blank solution containing the same fixed amount of periodate but no glycol is treated similarly. The difference in the number of moles of ð¼3 â produced in the blank solution, and that produced in the sample solution, is equal to the number of moles of glycol in the sample solution.

Procedure

1. Prepare a solution from your unknown: a. Your unknown may have recently been refrigerated â make sure it is at room temperature before use. b. Transfer the vial contents quantitatively to a 250 mL volumetric flask. c. Dilute to volume with water and mix well.

2. Prepare a Periodic Acid standard solution (pronounced âpurr-eye-oh-dic acidâ): a. Weigh out 1.16-1.24 g of H5IO6 on an analytical balance. Periodic acid is very corrosive â to your skin and to metals. Do not spill any on the analytical balances. b. Quantitatively transfer the solid to a 100 mL volumetric flask, and dilute to volume with water.

3. Prepare a sodium thiosulfate solution: a. Weigh ~11.2 g of sodium thiosulfate pentahydrate. b. Transfer the solid to a 1L Pyrex bottle and dilute to 500 mL to produce an approximately 0.09 M solution. c. Add 0.10 g Na2CO3 and swirl to mix well.

4. Prepare a ~0.5 M solution of sulfuric acid: a. In a beaker (250 or 400 mL), combine 25 mL of 3 M sulfuric acid and 125 mL of water. Mix. Remember: âAcid Into Waterâ. What glassware is appropriate to measure these volumes?

5. Prepare samples for titration: a. Pipet 20 mL of your diluted unknown and 10 mL of the periodic acid solution into a 250 mL conical flask and swirl to mix. b. Wait a minimum of 45 minutes to allow complete reaction before titrating. Do the blank titrations while you wait! c. Prepare a total of 3 samples in this way.

6. Perform the sample titrations: a. Add ~1.5 g of KI to your conical flask and swirl to dissolve. b. Add 10 mL of your 0.5 M sulfuric acid (use a graduated cylinder). c. Titrate from a dark red initial colour to the first change to yellow. d. Add 2.0 mL of thiodene indicator solution. The solution will become a dark grey/violet colour. e. Finish the titration (fractional drops) to a sharp disappearance of the violet colour. 7. Perform the blank titrations: a. Pipet 10 mL of periodic acid solution into a 250 mL conical flask. b. Add 20 mL of water with a graduated cylinder. c. Add reagents and perform the titration as in Step 6 above. Calculations Report the total mass (in mg) of ethylene glycol in your unknown.
