Document Summary

Atoms can combine to form larger molecules and compounds. Gases: neither have shape nor volume, easily compressible , does not have surface, highly dispersed/ spread-out. Pure substance: made up entirely of atoms/molecules, cannot be physically separated. Compound = combines more than 1 elements, can be broken down into smaller elements. Element = only 1 type of atom, cannot be chemically broken down into smaller atoms. Heterogeneous = non-uniform consistency, compounds in the mixture are not equally dispersed/ spread- out. Properties: characteristics that give each substance a unique identity. Physical properties = can described by our senses, include odor, texture, color and shape, mass, volume, melting point, boiling point, density. Chemical properties = traits or characteristics that can be expressed after a change in chemical composition has occurred. Physical changes = transformations that do not involve a change in chemical composition, can undone (reversible); melting, freezing, condensation, evaporation. Chemical changes = change in chemical composition.

Chromatography: Separating Mixtures

Introduction:

Magic marker inks are often mixtures of several compounds. Paper chromatography is a common method of separating various components of a mixture. After separation, you can observe the different colors that make up a particular color of magic marker ink.

You can also calculate a ratio Rf, which compares how far each compound traveled to how far each solvent (substance that dissolves another substance) traveled during the experiment.

Rf = Ds/Df

Ds = Distance traveled by the compound

Df = Distance traveled by the solvent

Materials:

coffee filter, tape, isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol), water, 3 different color magic markers (not permanent); 3 identical tall, narrow drinking glasses; metric ruler, 3 pencils

Pre-lab Questions:

List one extensive and one intensive property of marker ink.

Intensive: Amount Doesn't Matter

Extensive: Amount Matters

An extensive property of marker ink would be volume or ink.

An intensive property of marker ink would be the color of ink.

Define mixture.

A combination of two or more substances that are not chemically combine with one another.

Is tap water a heterogeneous or homogenous mixture? Explain your answer.

Tap water is a homogeneous mixture. I think this because I can see that it has uniform. It doesnât contain any different molecules as well.

Is isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol) a heterogeneous or homogenous mixture? Explain your answer.

I believe rubbing alcohol is a homogeneous mixture. I think this because I can physically see that it has uniform. It also stays in the same phase.

Procedure:

1. Cut 3 strips of coffee filter. Be sure that the strips are much narrower and slightly taller than the drinking glasses.

2. In the center the strips, about 3 cm from one end, place a dot of the marker to be tested. The dots should be about 0.2 cm in diameter and dark enough to be clearly visible.

3. Place about 2 cm of water in each glass.

4. Tape the unmarked end of each strip to the center of a pencil so that the strip hangs down when the pencil is held horizontally.

5. Carefully insert the strips into the glasses, dotted end down. The dot must be above the water, and the sides of the coffee filters cannot touch the sides of the glasses.

6. Let the setup stand for 20 minutes. Follow procedure 8 as your set up stands.

7. Record your observations after 20 minutes in the table below. Measure Df (in cm) for the solvent. Measure the Ds (in cm) for each color that you see on the coffee filter (there may not be three). Calculate the Rf for each color using the equation in the Introduction section.

8. Repeat steps 1â7, except place about 2 cm of isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol) in each glass instead of water.

9. Clean up your work area.

Solvent: isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol)

5. What evidence is there that marker ink is a mixture?

The marker ink is a mixture. The evidence is when the marker ink separated.

6. Each compound in the marker ink is represented by a color. Did one compound travel farther than the others? Explain why you think that this is the case.

Yes, I found out that the darker of the three colors traveled further.

7. Did the compounds travel farther in the water or the isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol)? Explain why you think that this is the case.

The compounds traveled faster in the water than the rubbing alcohol. I think the reason why is because water is smaller on a molecular level versus rubbing alcohol. So it is easier for the dyes to separate.

8. How could you improve upon the accuracy of your Rf measurements?

I feel that accuracy could be improved if we changed the scale measurement to millimeters (mm) instead of cm (centimeters).

Water traveled faster than the rubbing alcohol. I personally think it has to do with something like the size of the molecule like the smaller the molecule the easier it is.

Decomposition of Malachite

Here is what Malachite is Made Out Of

Malachite is a famous and very popular semi-precious stone. Its banded light and dark green bands are one-of-a-kind, and give it a unique ornamental quality unlike that of any other stone. The light and dark green bands are so distinctive that malachite may be one of the most easily recognized minerals by the general public. Malachite is popular in jewelry, especially Native American southwestern jewelry. The stones inlayed in silver make a nice alternative to traditional turquoise jewelry.

Malachite is a form of copper carbonate with the molecular formula Cu₂CO₃(OH)₂. When heated to around 200 ï¿½C, malachite decomposes into copper (II) oxide (CuO) and other products.

Reaction Stoichiometry

The Law of Conservation of Mass states that matter can neither be created nor destroyed. Therefore, the number of atoms of each element on the reactants side must be same as the number of atoms on the products side. This quantitative study of chemical reactions is called stoichiometry. The substances in a balanced reaction are related to each other by stoichiometric molar ratios. For example, magnesium reacts with hydrochloric acid in a 1:2 stoichiometric ratio in the balanced equation below.

Mg(s) + 2HCl(aq) -> MgCl2(aq) + H2(g)

The molar ratios can be used as conversion factors to find the amount (in moles) of one substance given the amount of another. For example, given the number of moles of HCl, the amount of MgCl₂ can be determined as shown below.

nMgCl2=nHCl x (1mol MgCl2) / (2mol HCL)

The molar ratios are used to determine the amount in moles. However, the amount of reactant or product is often measured in grams. Mass can be converted to moles and vice versa as shown below.

n = m / (MM)

m = n x MM

where n is the number of moles, m is the mass of the product in g, and MM is its molar mass in g/mol.

To observe the Law of Conservation of Mass, you can perform different types of chemical reactions. For example, you can use a decomposition reaction to observe one compound being broken down into two or more elements or new compounds. For this reaction to take place, you must break existing bonds within the starting compound. Different sources of energy such as heat, light, or electricity may be used. Through a decomposition reaction, you can observe that the atoms in the original compound are not destroyed but are rearranged to form simpler substances, such as elements or compounds.

About This Lab

In this lab, you will test if the relationship between malachite and copper (II) oxide is stoichiometric. To do this, you will heat a known mass of malachite to produce copper (II) oxide. You will then compare the amount of copper (II) oxide obtained experimentally with the amount of copper (II) oxide expected from the balanced equation for the decomposition reaction.
