Chemistry: Matter and Change

iii

To the Student Chemistry is the science of matter, its properties, and changes. In your classroom work in chemistry, you will learn a great deal about the information that has been gathered by scientists about matter. But, chemistry is not just information. It is also a process for finding out more about matter and its changes. Laboratory activities are the primary means that chemists use to learn more about matter. The activities in the CBL Laboratory Manual require that you form and test hypotheses, measure and record data and observations, analyze those data, and draw conclusions based on those data and your knowledge of chemistry. These processes are the same as those used by professional chemists and all other scientists. CBL (computer-based laboratory) activities use graphing calculators to collect and analyze real-world data using different probes or sensors. The CBL system is an interface that collects data from the probes and sends the information to the calculator. The calculator, in turn, runs stored data collection and processing programs, which interpret and plot data obtained from the CBL system.

• Introduction Following the title and number of each activity, an introduction provides a background discussion about the problem you will study in the activity. • Problem The problem to be studied in this activity is clearly stated. • Objectives The objectives are statements of what you should accomplish by doing the investigation. Recheck this list when you have finished the activity. • Materials The materials list shows the apparatus you need to have on hand for the activity. • Safety Precautions Safety symbols and statements warn you of potential hazards in the laboratory. Before beginning any activity, refer to page vii to see what these symbols mean. • Pre-Lab The questions in this section check your knowledge of important concepts needed to complete the activity successfully. • Procedure The numbered steps of the procedure tell you how to carry out the activity and sometimes offer hints to help you be successful in the laboratory. Some activities have CAUTION statements in the procedure to alert you to hazardous substances or techniques. • Hypothesis This section provides an opportunity for you to write down a hypothesis for this activity. • Data and Observations This section presents a suggested table or form for collecting your laboratory data. Always record data and observations in an organized way as you do the activity. • Analyze and Conclude The Analyze and Conclude section shows you how to perform the calculations necessary for you to analyze your data and reach conclusions. It provides questions to aid you in interpreting data and observations in order to reach an experimental result. You are also asked to form a scientific conclusion based on what you actually observed, not what “should have happened.” An opportunity to analyze possible errors in the activity is also given. • Real-World Chemistry The questions in this section ask you to apply what you have learned in the activity to other real-life situations. You may be asked to make additional conclusions or research a question related to the activity. iv

CBL LABORATORY MANUAL

Safety in the Laboratory The chemistry laboratory is a place to experiment and learn. You must assume responsibility for your own personal safety and that of people working near you. Accidents are usually caused by carelessness, but you can help prevent them by closely following the instructions printed in this manual and those given to you by your teacher. The following are some safety rules to help guide you in protecting yourself and others from injury in a laboratory.

2. Study your lab activity before you come to the lab. If you are in doubt about any procedures, ask your teacher for help. 3. Safety goggles and a laboratory apron must be worn whenever you work in the lab. Gloves should be worn whenever you use chemicals that cause irritations or can be absorbed through the skin. 4. Contact lenses should not be worn in the lab, even if goggles are worn. Lenses can absorb vapors and are difficult to remove in an emergency. 5. Long hair should be tied back to reduce the possibility of it catching fire. 6. Avoid wearing dangling jewelry or loose, draping clothing. The loose clothing may catch fire and either the clothing or jewelry could catch on chemical apparatus. 7. Wear shoes that cover the feet at all times. Bare feet or sandals are not permitted in the lab. 8. Know the location of the fire extinguisher, safety shower, eyewash, fire blanket, and first-aid kit. Know how to use the safety equipment provided for you. 9. Report any accident, injury, incorrect procedure, or damaged equipment immediately to your teacher. 10. Handle chemicals carefully. Check the labels of all bottles before removing the contents. Read the labels three times: before you pick up the container, when the container is in your hand, and when you put the bottle back. 11. Do not return unused chemicals to reagent bottles. 12. Do not take reagent bottles to your work area unless specifically instructed to do so. Use test tubes, paper, or beakers to obtain your chemicals.

vi

Chemistry: Matter and Change

Take only small amounts. It is easier to get more than to dispose of excess. 13. Do not insert droppers into reagent bottles. Pour a small amount of the chemical into a beaker. 14. Never taste any chemical substance. Never draw any chemicals into a pipette with your mouth. Eating, drinking, chewing gum, and smoking are prohibited in the laboratory. 15. If chemicals come into contact with your eyes or skin, flush the area immediately with large quantities of water. Immediately inform your teacher of the nature of the spill. 16. Keep combustible materials away from open flames. (Alcohol and acetone are combustible.) 17. Handle toxic and combustible gases only under the direction of your teacher. Use the fume hood when such materials are present. 18. When heating a substance in a test tube, be careful not to point the mouth of the tube at another person or yourself. Never look down the mouth of a test tube. 19. Use caution and the proper equipment when handling hot apparatus or glassware. Hot glass looks the same as cool glass. 20. Dispose of broken glass, unused chemicals, and products of reactions only as directed by your teacher. 21. Know the correct procedure for preparing acid solutions. Always add the acid slowly to the water. 22. Keep the balance area clean. Never weigh chemicals directly on the pan of the balance. 23. Do not heat graduated cylinders, burettes, or pipettes with a laboratory burner. 24. After completing an activity, clean and put away your equipment. Clean your work area. Make sure the gas and water are turned off. Wash your hands with soap and water before you leave the lab.

eactions are taking place around you all the time. It is important to be aware of your surroundings and understand how humans interact with these surroundings. Your five senses allow you to observe the world in which you live. In the lab, you only use four senses to make observations. Nothing is ever tasted in the lab. Sometimes tools can extend your senses. When you describe the color, odor, or texture of an object, you are making a qualitative observation. Quantitative observations involve measured quantities, such as 15 g or 2.5 L. It is important not to confuse observations and interpretations in the lab. Observations are made using your senses; interpretations are proposed explanations that are based on observations. In this lab, you will be making both qualitative and quantitative observations.

Objectives

Materials

How many observations can you make about a reaction? Are your observations qualitative or quantitative?

• Measure the change in temperature related to a chemical reaction. • Compare quantitative observations and qualitative observations. • Discuss the difference between observations and interpretations. • Predict one product produced during the reaction.

he solubility of a substance describes the ability of one substance to dissolve in another substance. Water is used as a solvent to determine the solubility of various solids. Some substances dissolve in water; some substances do not. When dissolved in water, the ions in an ionic compound separate, or dissociate. As the ions dissociate, electrons are free to move about in the solution. As these electrons move, it is possible for them to carry an electric current.

Copyright © Glencoe/McGraw-Hill, a division of the McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.

In this activity, the conductivity of substances is used to determine to what extent substances dissociate in water. This lab compares an ionic solid to a nonionic substance and relates the effect of concentration on conductivity.

hen you add heat to a substance, the average kinetic energy of the particles in the substance increases. If enough energy is added, the particles overcome the attractive forces holding the particles together and the substance changes state—from a solid to a liquid, or even to a gas. As this happens, the movement of the particles becomes more random. By contrast, as substances lose heat, the interactions between particles increases and the particles become more ordered.

Copyright © Glencoe/McGraw-Hill, a division of the McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.

The temperature of a substance stays the same during any change of state, or phase change. The energy absorbed by the system is used to overcome intermolecular attractions, not to increase the kinetic energy (temperature) of the substance. In this lab, you will determine the melting/freezing point for water and a food preservative, BHT (butylated hydroxytoluene, C15H24O).

uppose you have a basketball containing a given volume of air. If you were to sit on the ball, its volume would decrease. What happens to the particles of air inside the ball? They would be forced to occupy a smaller volume. Because the particles are more crowded, collisions among particles and between the particles and the inside surface of the ball increase. This increase in the number of collisions causes an increase in pressure inside the ball. The relationship between the volume of a gas and the pressure it exerts is known as Boyle’s law, and it can be studied in a laboratory setting.

Determining Molar Mass Using Freezing Point Depression

he freezing point depression of a solution is a colligative property of the solution. A temperature versus time graph can be used to determine the freezing point of a particular substance. A plateau occurs on the graph at the freezing point because no change in average kinetic energy of the system takes place as the phase change occurs. This allows the freezing point of a pure substance to be compared with that of a solution. From this comparison, it is possible to determine the molecular mass of an unknown substance. In this lab, an organic solute will be used to determine a freezing point depression constant for the food additive BHT (butylated hydroxytolune). Using this information, you will determine the molecular mass of an unknown substance.

Determine the Molar Mass of an Unknown Acid

Use with Section 19.4

A

ccording to the Arrhenius definition of acids and bases, acids are substances that produce hydrogen ions (H) in solution, and bases are substances that produce hydroxide ions (OH) in solution. When an acid and a base combine, the hydrogen ions from the acid react with the hydroxide ions from the base to form water—a neutralization reaction.

Copyright © Glencoe/McGraw-Hill, a division of the McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.

In a neutralization reaction, moles of H ions equal moles of OH ions. This relationship is the basis for the procedure called titration, which you will use to standardize a base solution. Standardizing a base means determining its molar concentration. You will then use your standardized base to determine the molar mass of an acid. To determine when the moles of H equal the moles of OH, you will monitor the pH of an acid solution as a solution of base is added slowly. The pH will rise suddenly when the concentrations of the two ions are equal (the equivalence point).

voltaic cell is a device that converts chemical energy to electrical energy. This is done by harnessing the electron flow generated by a spontaneous redox reaction. A voltaic cell consists of two half-cells connected by a conducting wire and a salt bridge. One half-cell, called the anode, contains a metal in a solution of its ions and is the site of oxidation. The other half-cell, called the cathode, contains a different metal in a solution of its ions and is the site of reduction. The conducting wire carries the flow of electrons. The salt bridge allows ions to flow from one side to the other so the redox reaction can continue.

Copyright © Glencoe/McGraw-Hill, a division of the McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.

In this lab, a voltage probe is used to measure the flow of electrons through voltaic cells made of different metals. The metal attached to the positive lead of the voltage probe is the cathode and has a higher reduction potential. The metal attached to the negative lead is the anode and has a lower reduction potential. The reduction potentials of five metals will be compared, resulting in a chart for understanding the potentials of metals.

If the NaNO3 center and trails begin to dry out, reapply the NaNO3 solution throughout the activity. Next, place 3 drops of the metal ion solutions on the corresponding areas of the filter paper (indicated by the name of the metal). Using tongs, place the corresponding metal piece on top of the solution. Always keep the top of the metal dry. Note: If the metal has oxidized, shine it with sandpaper first. Using copper as a reference metal, compare the potential of the other four metals with that of copper. To do this, place the positive lead of the voltage probe on copper and the negative lead on the metal being tested. If the voltage reads negatively, reverse the leads. Wait about 5 s and record the voltage of each of the metals compared with copper in Data Table 1. Test the following combinations: Cu and Zn, Cu and Pb, Cu and Ag, and Cu and Fe.
