I recently carried out a laboratory experiment for my general chemistry 2 lab to experimentally determine the faraday constant. It involved the redox reaction Cu(s) + 2H⁺(aq)-->Cu²⁺ + H₂(g). We used an electrolytic cell and collected H2 gas in a buret. Then, we proceeded to calculate the partial pressure of H2 gas, the ideal gas law to calcualte moles of H₂ gas, then e^- transferred and so on. I am currently trying to determine at least two possible sources of error for this experiment and how they would affect the determined faraday constant? (i.e. would it be higher or lower). Thank you in advance for any assistance or direction you can give.

Demonstrate a proficiency in relating the chemistry of gases to everyday phenomenon. Introduction Molecules in gases have very little attraction for one another, because relative to their size, they are so far apart from each other. For this reason we can often assume that a gas behaves "idcally." meaning that the physical behavior of the gas is independent of the composition of the gas. If a gas behaves ideally, then its physical properties can be described by the Ideal Gas Equation: Let's consider why the variables in the ideal gas equation have the relationships expressed in Equation 1aã The ideal gas equation assumes that there are no attractive forces between gas molecules. One can picture two billiard balls bouncing off one another in a totally clastic collision. If these molecules are placed in a balloon the collisions will occur not only with each other but also with the wall of the balloon, causing the balloon to expand. This expansion can be measured as a volume (V). More molecules will cause more collisions and thus more expansion. Therefore the quantity of molecules or number of moles (n) is directly proportional to the volume, and thus volume and number of moles appear on opposite sides of the equation. Another factor to consider is the kinetic energy of these molecules. Kinetic energy is related to the temperature (T) of the molecules, in that the kinetic energy. If the collisions with the wall of the balloon are happening at a very high speed due to high kinetic energy, the collisions will be harder and more frequent and thus the wall of the balloon will be pushed out further (a larger volume) than if the kinetic energy were less. The result is that volume is also directly proportional to the temperature. This relationship is seen in Equation la with (T) on the right side of the equation and (V) on the left. higher the temperature the greater the considered. While the molecules inside the balloon are pushing the balloon out, there are also molecules in thea Finally the pressure of the outside environment (atmospheric pressure) needs to be 59

I want to find the Kn value of Cu(II) and EDTA. I was given the formula kn= [ML4]/[ML3][L]. 12.3 ml of edta was used to tritrate 0.1194 grams of Copper in 50 ml of water. The indicator used was murexide.

At the core of general acid-base theories, there is the concept of âtransferâ of one entity to another. In the case of BrÃ¸nsted-Lowry acid base theory, the transferred entity is the proton, and their transfer processes are widely exploited in chemical methods. In addition to proton transfer, electron pairs can also be donated/shared between donors and acceptors. In this case, an atom/molecule, which can accept a pair of electrons, is referred to as a Lewis acid while the entity donating the pair of electrons is referred to as a Lewis base. The most prevalent Lewis acid-base systems involve metal complexes with vacant nd-orbitals, as well as electron deficient systems including B, Si, Ge, etc. The Lewis acid base theory is also known as the Hard-Soft acid base theory (HSABT) with âhardnessâ defined as small highly charged species that are weakly polarizable (Lewis acids). In contrast, âsoftnessâ is described by species that are larger and highly polarizable species with low charge (Lewis bases).
In the case of metal chemistry, Lewis acid-base theory provides a means to describe the ability of âligandsâ to coordinate to metal ions as well as the stability of metal-ligand complexes. Recall that coordination bonds are the donation/acceptance of lone pairs of electrons to empty metal orbitals to another atom; the definition of Lewis acid-base chemistry! The stability of Lewis acid-base complexes can be described through the stability constant which is analogous to the Ka that describes BrÃ¸nsted-Lowry acidities. Many metal ions can coordinate (bind) many Lewis base ligands in a step-wise fashion according to:
M + L = ML K1 = [ML]/[M][L] Eq. 1
ML + L = ML2 K2 = [ML2]/[ML][L] Eq. 2
ML2 + L = ML3 K3 = [ML3]/[ML2][L] Eq. 3
MLn-1 + L = MLn Kn = [ML4]/[ML3][L] Eq. 4
and for which the free energy for this dissociation reaction is given by:
ÎG0 = -RTLnKn Eq. 5.
where R is the gas constant and T is the temperature in Kelvin.
Figure 1: Left- EDTA. Right- Typical EDTA-transition metal complex.
The ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid ligand (EDTA, a Lewis base) provides a mechanism to probe the Lewis acid strength of various metal complexes (Figure 1). This multi-dentate ligand (multiple Lewis base sites on a single ligand) forms complexes with metals of the form:
Mn+ + Y4- = MYn-4 Eq. 6
K = [MYn-4]/[Mn+][Yn-4] Eq. 7
where Y4- is the EDTA ligand.
In this experiment, the Lewis acid strength for two different metals will be examined by measuring the stability constants for the metal-EDTA complex. Of specific interest is the how the Lewis acid strength of the metal ion correlates with:
1) atomic/ionic radii, 2) oxidation state, 3) electron configuration, and 4) polarizability.
You will determine the stability constants of both a Cu2+- and Zn2+-EDTA complexes as well as the corresponding free energy. Using these data, you will compare the relative Lewis acidities of both metals and describe differences in terms of the metal ion properties described above.

Experimental
You and your group will determine the concentration and ultimately the free energy of Cu(II) and Zn(II) using the hexadentate chelating ligand, EDTA.
You will be given a ~100 mM standardized solution of EDTA (check the label for exact concentration prior to beginning). You will need to weigh ~0.1 g per metal salt sample. Dissolve the metal salt into 50 mL of DI water. Add 2-3 drops of murexide to your metal. After properly preparing your buret with EDTA, titrate your metal with EDTA. Repeat for a total of 3 titrations per metal.
1. Approximately how much EDTA will you need for each titration assuming the metal-saltsâ masses are accurate?
2. What type of indicator is murexide and what color will its endpoint be?
