AP Chem. Stoichiometry Name ____________________ LAB 3 – GRAVIMETRIC ANALYSIS In today’s lab you will determine the identity of an unknown calcium halide (CaX 2 ) using a precipitation reaction. By mixing a solution of the calcium halide with excess aqueous sodium carbonate, calcium carbonate can be precipitated, collected, and weighed to determine the identity of the halogen in the original calcium compound. MATERIALS 2.5 g sodium carbonate Electronic scale 2 g unknown calcium halide Weighing paper 40 mL water Side-arm Erlenmeyer + filter paper Two 100-mL or 150-mL beakers Plastic Buchner funnel Stirring rod Watch glass Centrifuge Oven (110 o C to 120 o C) Small test tubes Hot plate PRE-LAB 1. Do an internet search for each item below (results from sciencelab.com are fine) and copy the NFPA diamonds for each into your lab notebook. (You do not have to copy it in color.) a. MSDS sodium chloride b. MSDS sodium carbonate c. MSDS calcium carbonate 2. Suppose you react 8.0 g of an unknown calcium halide with excess sodium carbonate to make a calcium carbonate precipitate. You collect 4.0 g of the precipitate. a. Write the balanced net ionic reaction for the reaction that occurs. b. How many moles of calcium carbonate were produced? c. What is the molar mass (in g/mol) of the unknown calcium halide? d. What is the atomic mass & identity of the halogen in the original calcium compound? 3. Read the procedure below and prepare a data table in your notebook for collecting all measurements. PROCEDURE – PART 1 1. Set up a hotplate to a setting of 4. 2. Obtain two small beakers (100-mL and or 150-mL). Add ~2.5 g of sodium carbonate to one beaker and ~2 g of the unknown calcium halide to the other. Record the exact masses in your data table! 3. Dissolve each solid in ~30 mL of water. Use a stirring rod to dissolve each solid in its beaker. 4. Then pour one solution into the other to mix them and cause a precipitation reaction. 5. Place this beaker with the solid precipitate on the warm hot plate for at least two minutes. 6. Meanwhile, set up a filtration apparatus as shown in the picture above. Weigh a piece of filter paper and place it in the funnel. Attach the tubing to the water aspirator, turn on the water to create a vacuum, and wet the filter paper with a small amount of water to make sure the filtration setup works and the filter paper makes a seal. (TIP: Place a medium beaker in the trough below the flowing water to minimize splashing.) 7. Move the beaker off the hotplate and allow it to cool until safe to handle. Then filter the precipitate using the filtration apparatus. 8. Use a spatula or stirring rod to lift the filter paper out of the funnel and place it on a watch glass. Label the watch glass with a small piece of masking tape. Dry the paper in an oven for ~10-15 minutes. Meanwhile start trial 2. 9. Weigh your dried precipitate + filter paper. Then dispose of it in a trash bin. 10. Once you’ve completed two trials, rinse all glassware used in the acid wash bin at the front of the classroom before rinsing them with water and returning them to the cabinet. Be sure to remove any masking tape labels.
