If you were to over-titrate your calcium solutions in Part B of this lab:a.Would the calculated molarity of EDTA be too high or too low? Explain.

b.Would the calculated molarity of calcium unknown in part C be too high or too low? Explain.

Part B Setup: Complete the following steps, after reading page 6 on how to use volumetric glassware:1.You should have already used a 500 mLvolumetric flaskto prepare an approximately 0.010 M solution of Na2EDTA (Part 1).2.Clean the buret carefully and rinse it two or three times with small amounts (~5mL) of your EDTA solution. Hint; use a clean, dry, labeled beaker to pour solution into the buret. Make sure you rinse through the tip and that no air bubbles are in the tip. Mount the buret on a ring stand using buret clamps. Fill the buret with your EDTA solution nearly to the top mark (to somewhere between the 0 and 5 mL marks for every trial—DO NOT waste time filling the buret to exactly 0.00 mL!). The EDTA is the titrant,the solution added during the titration. Chemistry 161 Lab5Bozlee -Based on S. Critchlow Winter 2018page 4of 11Green River Community College Standardization of the EDTA solution:4.Record the exact reading of the liquid level (bottom of the meniscus) in the buret, recording to the nearest 0.01 mL. This is your initial volume. Note:The burets can be read to a precision of at least +/-0.02 mL. Be sure that all of your readings are precise and consistent.Check with your instructor if you are unclear whether your buret readings are correct.5.In a clean dry beaker, take about 50 mL of standard 0.01000 MCa2+solution; do not take more than this at a time. This is enough to do two trials; if only doing one trial take no more than 30 mL. After proper rinsing, pipet 20.00 mLof this standard Ca2+solution into a 125 mL Erlenmeyer flask. The volumetric pipet tip should NOT be “blown out.” Add about 25 mL of deionized water to the flask.The volume of water is not critical.6.Add a few drops (~6) of indicatorand one full dropperfulof the buffer solutionto the solution in the Erlenmeyer flask.7.Place the stir bar in the flask, place the flask on the stir plate, and set the control for gentle stirring. Or, if you have a good swirling technique with the Erlenmeyer flask, the stir bar and plate is unnecessary. It is essential that the solutions be continually stirred or swirled while titrating.8.What net volume of titrant should be required for the standard trials? You should be able to predict this by calculation!Slowly add your EDTA solution from the buret until the endpoint is reached. The endpointin this titration is the point at which the solution in the Erlenmeyer flask first turns a distinct blue. The color change of the indicatorat the endpoint signals that the equivalence pointhas been reached, where the reactants are in the correct stoichiometric ratio to completely react. As you near the endpoint, add EDTA drop by drop to avoid “overshooting the endpoint.” Record to the nearest 0.01 mL the exact liquid level of EDTA in the buret (your final volume), and calculate the net volume of EDTA used in the titration by subtracting the initial volume from the final volume of EDTA.9.Discard your waste in the appropriate container, using only a very small amount of DI water as the first rinse. Then rinse out your Erlenmeyer flask thoroughlywith several portions of DI water at your sink. Refill the buret (always to between 0 and 5 mL) if you will do another trial. 10.Repeat steps 4-9 two more times, using a fresh aliquot(measured sample) of standard Ca+2solutioneach time. Ideally your replicate titrations should agree within 0.2 mL

I need help writing a purpose for a chemistry experiment. I feel I was always do a great job, but my professor always disagrees and I’m out of ideas. The professor wants us to summarize the introduction, and summarize what you will do in each section of the experiment and state how this work will support the goal of this experiment being longer than 1/2 a page. Please, please help me right a better purpose for the experiment below. Thanks.

Experiment 9 Molecular Weight Determination of a Pure Substance Using the Ideal Gas Equation.

Introduction:

The purpose of this experiment is to determine the molecular weight of a volatile, essentially non-polar liquid. An excess amount of pure unknown volatile liquid will be placed into a flask, whose volume will also be determined. The flask will be placed into a hot water bath, whose temperature corresponds to the temperature of the gas in the flask. The liquid will evaporate, driving out the air while the excess liquid evaporates. The pressure of the gas in the flask will correspond to the atmospheric pressure. After the excess unknown liquid has been allowed to evaporate, the flask will be stoppered, cooled, and weighed to determine the grams of the unknown liquid that will be present at the temperature of the water bath as a gas. In this experiment the ideal gas equation will be used PV = nRT = (g/M)RT where R = 0.0821 L*atm/mol*K, T = temperature in K, P = pressure in atm, V = volume in liters, n = moles of gas, g = grams of gas, and M = molecular weight of gas (in units of g/mole). Solving for the molecular weight, M: M = gRT/ PV.

If the molecular weight of a gas is to be determined, the m, T, P, and V must be determined experimentally in the lab. Even though the ideal gas equation is only an approximation of the behavior of gases, molecular weights can still be obtained within 5% of the correct values, as long as volatile non-polar compounds or compounds with only slight amount of polarity are used. For example, C, H, compounds as CH4 are essentially non-polar, whereas compounds as H2O are highly polar. Hence, the ideal gas equation would not be a good approximation for describing the behavior of gaseous water.

Procedure:

At the very beginning of the period get a one-liter beaker. Put about 800 mL (your instructor will tell you the exact amount needed) of tap water into the one-liter beaker. Put the one-liter beaker with water onto the hot plate. Set the heat setting of the hot plate to the maximum value. The water in the beaker should be boiling very lightly prior to doing the actual experiment. Therefore, after the water starts boiling in the hot water bath, it may be necessary to cut the heat setting back from highest value. This will take some time. While the water is heating, get the rest of the things needed for this experiment. The setup is shown in figure 1. Record the barometric pressure (in torr to one decimal place). Obtain the rest of the setup consisting of a 250 ml flask, properly prepared rubber stopper with glass tube and aluminum foil, a no-hole rubber stopper, thermometer, and glass stirring rod.

Make sure the 250 mL Florence (or Erlenmeyer) flask is dried (if it is not dry, rinse with 5 mL of acetone, pour off the acetone into the waste bottle in the hood, and then clamp the 250 mL Florence flask onto the ring stand in the inverted position to allow the last traces of acetone to drain out and evaporate. Place the dry no-hole stopper on the flask and weight the flask with the rubber stopper on the balance to 3 decimal places. Record this weight for the weight of the flask plus rubber stopper and moist air. Place 5 mL with a graduated cylinder of unknown liquid into the flask. Place the one-hole rubber stopper, with tube and aluminum foil in the flask. This one-hole stopper, which contains a glass tube that sticks out on the top by 3 mm and is flush with the bottom of the stopper, is covered with aluminum foil with a hole punched into the bottom where the glass tube is. This one-hole rubber stopper is already prepared for you. Push it down firmly into the flask. Remove it. Do this 2-3 times to smooth out the aluminum foil so that the stopper will go down into the flask as much as possible. Then push the stopper down so that it fits snugly but not too tightly to allow it to be removed while the flask is hot. Clamp the flask about the top lip of the Florence flask. That is, the center of the clamp goes about the rim of the flask. Push the flask as far down into the water bath as possible while holding the end of the clamp with your other hand. It is important to be sure that the water in the water bath is always at least 5 mm above there the bottom of the stopper is in the flask. More water may have to be added as some of the water evaporates during the duration of this experiment. (A beaker with hot water (extra) should be present in the hood. One or two of these beakers of hot water should be enough for everyone.) If the water level is not kept to its proper height, the liquid will condense in the upper part of the flask and the excess liquid will never be removed. Be sure that the aluminum foil on top makes a protective wind breaker for the short glass tube sticking out of the rubber stopper so that condensation does not occur there also. As the liquid evaporates from the flask, mix the water in the water bath occasionally and check to see that the temperature remains constant. Record the temperature value of the water bath as the temperature of the gas in the flask for the temperature of the gas would have equilibrated to the temperature of the water bath. After all the liquid has evaporated (takes 2-5 mins for the liquid to evaporate.) from the flask (check carefully that all of the liquid has evaporated-since observing when all the liquid has been evaporated maybe difficult, you should carefully shake slightly the clamp holding the Florence flask to observe the movement of the unknown liquid and when it has disappeared) and none is condensed on the surface walls; (if condensation occurs, be sure all precautions mentioned above are taken) then (these next several steps are to be done quick) remove the rubber stopper with the glass tubing and aluminum foil without excessive shaking. There could be a condensed liquid droplet or two in the glass tube that is not visible. The droplets could drop back into the flask and cause a false high reading for the measured weight of gas in the flask. Immediately replace the rubber stopper (with the glass tube and aluminum foil) with the no-hole stopper, which was used when the flask was originally weighed. This step must be performed quickly to prevent the unknown gas vapors from escaping and being replaced by moist air. Place the no-hole rubber stopper in the Florence flask firmly. Remove the flask from the bath and again check to be sure that the no-hole rubber stopper is firmly in place. Cool the flask by running tap water over the flask for 30-60 seconds. If the stopper is not fitted firmly, air will enter the flask as the liquid inside the flask condenses. As the gas cools and changes to the liquid state, a partial vacuum is created inside the flask. Hence, air will enter the flask if the rubber stopper is not fitted firmly. Completely dry the flask and weigh it on the balance to three decimal places. Record the weight of flask plus stopper and unknown gas.

Repeat this entire procedure a second time and record the date. After, second trial, completely fill the flask with distilled water. Place the no-hole rubber stopper in the flask allowing the excess water to overflow. Wipe the outside completely dry. Then measure the volume of the water in the flask by pouring water into a graduated cylinder. Record this volume.
