Lab Practical Chem 211: Everything you need to know.
1. The lab practical consists of 8 buret readings → Your answer must be within plus or
minus 0.01 of the given value.
2. Aliquot Demonstration → Ensure to clean all glassware prior of use, and to wash three
times with solution before transferring.
a. Use a beaker (weight prior to adding mass) and add the solute to the beaker.
Calculate the mass to the closest 0.1 mg.
b. Add 20-30 mL of water to dissolve the solute.
c. Set up the funnel support, and rinse the funnel prior to use. Add a small (100mL)
volumetric flask and ensure the funnel is low within it.
d. Transfer solution with beaker touching the stirring rod. (Stirring rod needs to be
touching end of funnel).
e. Wash the beaker 3 times (minimum) to quantitatively transfer the solution into the
volumetric flask.Rotate and shake the beaker to dissolve/remove the solution
from the edges. After the beaker is clear of any solution (the rinse will become
clear if solution no longer in it). Wash the stirring rod and the funnel. Note that the
bottom of the funnel should also be cleaned.
f. After the volumetric flask is filled with ⅔ of the solution, swirl the volumetric flask
for 5 seconds to ensure solution is mixed well. Then, add remaining solution
CLOSE to the mark on the flask.
g. Wash an eye-dropper 3 times with water, then add solution until the bottom of the
meniscus is at the mark on the flask.
h. Stopper, Invert and Shake the volumetric flask 10 times.
i. Wash a clean beaker with the solution in volumetric flask three times. Then pour
some of solution in the beaker.
j. Add bulb to pipette, and make sure solution goes up so that you don’t cause
contamination when drawing some of solution in. Add about 2-3 mL, and turn
pipette horizontal to wash it with the solution. Wipe with kimwipe. Bring the
beaker to the pipette and tilt the beaker as you release the solution. Make sure
pipette is touching wall of beaker. Wash the pipette 3 times.
k. Draw solution into pipette and go over to the contaminated beaker and adjust the
meniscus. Do NOT do this in the original solution, you will contaminate it! After
meniscus is adjusted, place solution in 250mL volumetric flask. (If you use a
funnel to send pipetted solution into flask make sure to wash funnel with distilled
water 3 times beforehand! BUT, I don’t think that's what is required. Verify.)
l. Add water until before the mark, then use dropper to adjust!
3. Significant Figures Have a clear understanding of Significant figures as you will be
required to calculate and determine the significant figures on the Lab Practical Exam!

Calculate the mass to the closest 0. 1 mg: add 20-30 ml of water to dissolve the solute, set up the funnel support, and rinse the funnel prior to use. After the beaker is clear of any solution (the rinse will become clear if solution no longer in it). Note that the bottom of the funnel should also be cleaned: after the volumetric flask is filled with of the solution, swirl the volumetric flask for 5 seconds to ensure solution is mixed well. Then pour some of solution in the beaker: add bulb to pipette, and make sure solution goes up so that you don"t cause contamination when drawing some of solution in. Add about 2-3 ml, and turn pipette horizontal to wash it with the solution. Bring the beaker to the pipette and tilt the beaker as you release the solution. Make sure pipette is touching wall of beaker.
