I. Title: Intensive & Extensive

II. Purpose: Compare intensive and extensive properties of water.

III. Materials: 1) Beaker, 2) Water, 3) Thermometer, 4) Hot Plate, 5) Graduated Cylinder.

IV. Procedure: 1. Use graduated cylinder to measure 100ml of water into the smaller beaker and 400ml into the larger beaker.2. Used hot plate to heat the water in the smaller beaker while timing and using Thermometer to measure temperature.3. Observed and recorded time and temperature once boiling.4. Waited for the hot plate to cool.5. Repeated steps 2-4 with the beaker filled with 400ml of water.

V. Data:100ml of water 400ml of water

Boiling point (C°) 98° 98°Time it takes to boil (sec) 5:30 10:37

VI. Conclusion Questions:1. Is temperature an intensive or extensive property of matter? Explain: Extensive. Both hot and cold water are water.2. Is the amount of energy absorbed (determined by the time it takes for water to boil) an intensive or extensive property of matter? Explain: Intensive. The water must always reach 100° C to boil.3. Identify 2 additional intensive properties of matter: Conductivity and Hardness.4. Identify 2 additional extensive properties of matter: Volume and Length.5. Density=Mass/Volume. Conduct an experiment to show whether density is an intensive or extensive property of matter:a. Two beakers were weighed and their weights noted.b. One beaker was filled with 300 mL of water and the other with 500 mL of water and were weighed accordingly.c. The mass of the first beaker was subtracted from the total weight of the beaker filled with 300 mL of water and divided by 300 mL to get a density of 0.99 g/mL.d. The mass of the first beaker was subtracted from the total weight of the beaker filled with 500 mL of water and divided by 500 mL to get a density equal to the first one thus proving that density is an intensive property of matter.

I. Title: Separating Mixtures

II. Purpose: To separate out a mixture of the following pure substances: Iron, Sulfur, and Salt.

III. Materials: 1) Paper Plate, 2) Plastic Dish, 3) Mixture Sample, 4) Magnet, 5) Water, 6) Beaker, 7) Funnel, 8) Filter Paper, 9) Flask, 10) Hot Plate

IV. Procedure: 1. Spread out mixture sample on paper plate and used magnet to remove Iron filings.2. Scraped Iron filings off magnet and dissolved Sulfur and Salt in 2 mL of water.3. Poured Sulfur and Salt through filter paper and funnel into flask to isolate the sulfur which did

not pass through the filter paper.4. Boiled Salt water in flask using Hot Plate to remove the water and isolate the salt.

V. Data:Separation is a process used to transform a mixture into multiple distinct elements using a physical or chemical transformation. One method is distillation which consists of removing the liquid from a mixture, usually by boiling off the liquid. Another method of separation is filtering out one or more substances which are unable to pass through a filter. An alternative method is to employ an unique property of a substance such as magnetism to isolate an element. Separation is a procedure that simplifies a mixture into its different parts.

VI. Analysis & Conclusion Questions:1. What were the components of the mixture?: Salt, Sulfur, and Iron.2. What kind of mixture was this (heterogeneous/homogenous)?: Heterogeneous.3. Did you know the percent composition of this mixture?: No.

4. How do you think this information would be helpful in ensuring complete separation?: By using the percentages you could weigh the mixture and weigh the individual components and compare the ratios to ensure complete separation.

I. Title: Constructing a Model

II. Purpose: To understand how scientists make inferences about atoms without touching or seeing them.

III. Materials: 1) Closed container, 2) Various objects (in the closed container), 3) Balance, 4) Table

IV. Procedure: 1. The analysis was started by weighing all of the closed containers and recording the masses in

grams.2. The analysis was continued by shaking and turning the closed containers to estimate the number

and kinds of objects which was recorded.3. The various containers were then opened to feel the number and kinds of objects.4. After feeling an unidentified liquid and cutting a hand on a can, the results of these new

observations were recorded.5. The final steps of the analysis were began when the different containers were opened and the

contents in a pile on the table.6. The number and kinds of objects were confirmed or denied and the results were recorded thus

concluding the experiment.

VI. Analysis & Conclusion Questions:1. Were you able to gather any data from the closed container? Explain: Yes. By listening to the

sound made by the objects inside when turning or shaking the container.2. How did the amount of data you collected change throughout this experiment? Why?: As the

amount of ways that the objects in the container could be observed increased, so did the amount of information that could be gathered at a specific point.

3. How is this experiment illustrative of the way scientists gather data about atoms?: The closed containers are like atoms, you know they are there and there is something in them but you are unsure of what it is. As the number of ways you could observe the contents in the container, so did the number of ways you could observe the atom. Just as the container was opened and the contents were spilled on the table for all to see, the contents of the atom were eventually seen using electron microscopes.

I. Title: Comparing & Calculating Density

II. Purpose: To use the physical property of density to identify unknown substances.

III. Materials: 1) Density Blocks, 2) Beaker, 3) Water, 4) Balance

IV. Procedure: 1. The experiment was begun by filling the beaker ¾ of the way with water.2. Then one by one the Density Blocks were individually dropped into the beaker and whether it

sank or float was recorded.3. Next, each block was measured, weighed, the volume was calculated, and the results were

recorded.4. Finally the densities of the Density Blocks were compared to chart of the densities of the known

objects and the findings were recorded.

They were necessary because of problems with Auto-correct.

VI. Analysis & Conclusion Questions:1. If the density of water is 1.0 g/cm3, which substances were less dense than water? More dense?:

Density Block

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

Less/More Dense than Water

Less Less More More More More Less More More

2. Since the volume was the same for each block, state the relationship between mass and density:Density=Mass/16 cm3

3. How did you use density to identify each unknown substance?:By comparing the densities of the unknown objects to the densities of the known substances on the chart.

4. Did the density you calculated for each block match the known density for each substance on the chart? If not account for any differences:

No. Because of the inaccuracy of the instruments used and therefore the need for estimation and few significant figures there was a degree of inaccuracy.

1. Why do elements with one mole of atoms have different masses?: Because of different densities.

2. What would be the mass of each element if it had two moles of atoms?: 2x the mass of one mole of atoms.

3. Just looking at the samples, which element has atoms with the largest volume?: Al.4. How many moles would each have if its mass was exactly ½?: ½ mol. Because ½Mass/Molar

mass of element=½Moles.5. How many atoms does each element have if it had three moles?: 1.807x1024

atoms=3xAvogadro's Number=3x6.022x1023

A: Because an electron can either be in one energy level or the other, never in between. This means that an energy level is a definite stable energy that an atom can have.B: Wavelength=Speed/FrequencyC: Blue, it has a higher frequency.D: Energy is neither created nor destroyed.E:


Mr. Snyder12/6/09

I. Title: Designing your own periodic table.II. Purpose: To design your own periodic table using info similar to that available to Mendeleev.III. Materials: 1) Periodic Table, 2) Index Cards.IV. Procedure: 1. Write out information available for each element on separate index cards. The following

information is appropriate: a letter of the alphabet (A, B, C, etc.) to identify each element; atomic mass; state; density; melting point; boiling point; and other readily observable physical properties. Do not write the name of the element on the index card, but keep a separate list indicating the letters you have assigned to each element.

2. Organize the cards for the elements in a logical pattern as you think Mendeleev might have done.

V. Data:How the cards were organized:1.The student tried to organize the elements according to various factors including atomic mass, state of matter, and density but, found that there wasn't enough of a pattern to put the elements in order. The student then added the noble gas notation of each element to all the index cards. The student was then able to effectively organize the elements according to electron configuration in the 2nd attempt.

2.Vertically: according to which Noble Gas was present in the Noble Gas Configuration; Horizontally: according to the number of outer-shell electrons.

VI. Discussion Questions: 1. Keeping in mind that the information you have is similar to that available to Mendeleev in 1869, answer the following questions.

a. Why are atomic masses given instead of atomic numbers?: Because atomic numbers were not available at the time and are not “readily available”.

b. Can you identify each element by name?: No, because on the index cards, the element's actual name is not given.2. How many groups of elements, or families are in your periodic table? How many periods, or series, are in the table?: 3. Predict the characteristics of any missing elements. When you have finished, check your work using your separate list of elements and a periodic table:a.Location: between 'a' and 'n' in same period.[o*]Electron Configuration: [He]2s22p1-2

I. Title: Observing Chemical Elements

II. Purpose: To compare and contrast various elements on the periodic table through observation.

III. Materials: 1) Various Chemical Elements, 2) Periodic Table, 3) Wikipedia.org

IV. Procedure:The student performing the lab began by acquiring several of the various chemical elements and

simply writing down their basic characteristics. The student then proceeded by returning the acquired elements and getting different ones and recording their characteristics. After repeating this procedure seven (7) to eight (8) times the student realized that he had recorded the basic visible characteristics of all of the available elements. The student proceeded to look up each element on the periodic table and record the chemical symbol, group number, group period name, atomic mass, atomic number, and electron configuration. The student then proceeded to use the group number to find which block contained each element and recorded the data. The student then found and recorded the general reactivity and weather each element was a metal, non-metal, or metalloid. After unsuccessfully attempting to find uses of the different elements in the element handbook found in the textbook, the student looked up the general uses of each element in Wikipedia.org and recorded the results. Finding the amount of information recorded to be sufficient, the student was completed with the lab.

VI. Conclusion:This lab effectively taught me about twenty-three elements. One of the first things I noticed

when observing the general characteristics of the elements was that almost all of them were metallic, hard, opaque, and more dense than water. I also learned that there isn't much that you can learn about an element simply by basic visual observation, many of the elements had very similar aspects. I also effectively memorized the parts of the Periodic table which I viewed frequentely. After rediscovering the patterns visible in the periodic table while noting some of the chemical characteristics, I began to learn about the element's more obscure uses and properties of many elements. For example, I learned

that certain common objects such as batteries, glass, solder, and common day metals are not composed of just one or two different elements but many completely different elements, each with a distinct property. Together these elements make up many things which we take for granted as being simple and not worth knowing more about them besides the fact that they exist. After finishing this lab I can definitely say that it greatly supplemented my general and specific knowledge concerning the elements.
