Practical 1 Finding the formula of Epsom salts REQUIREMENTS Each student will need: Eye protection, Rack and one clean, dry, hard-glass test tube, Solid hydrated magnesium sulphate (Epsom salts) (approx. 2-3 g) Spatula, Bunsen burner, Test tube holder, Access to balance Time required 45 minutes Introduction Epsom salts are hydrated magnesium sulphate. Their formula is sometimes written as MgSO 4 .xH 2 O. In this experiment, you will be trying to find the value of x (i.e. the number of moles of water associated with one mole of MgSO 4 in Epsom salts). Principle When Epsom salts are heated, their water of crystallisation is driven off, leaving anhydrous magnesium sulphate, MgSO 4 . MgSO 4 .xH 2 O(s) MgSO 4 (s) + xH 2 O(g) By weighing the hydrated and anhydrous magnesium sulphate before and after heating, it is possible to find the mass of MgSO 4 and the mass of H 2 O in a sample of Epsom salts. From these masses, you can calculate the number of moles of water associated with one mole of MgSO 4 . You can then write the precise formula for Epsom salts. Procedure Weigh a clean, dry test tube. Put about 1 cm depth of Epsom salts in the test tube and reweigh. Record these weighings and those which follow in a clear table. Now, heat the test tube gently for a minute and then strongly for 5 minutes. Allow the tube to cool and then reweigh it. Heat the tube again for 2 minutes. Allow it to cool and reweigh. If the last two weighings differ by more than 0.05 g, repeat the heating and weighing again. This heating of a substance, like Epsom salts, until its weight does not change any more is called 'heating to constant weight'. 1) What do you understand by the terms: a hydrated, b anhydrous, c water of crystallisation? 2) Describe what happens as the Epsom salts are heated. 3) How could you show that water is given off when Epsom salts are heated? 4) Why must the Epsom salts be heated to constant weight? 5) From your results table, find by subtraction of the appropriate weighings: a. the mass of hydrated MgSO 4 you used, b. the mass of water in this hydrated salt, c. the mass of MgSO 4 in this hydrated salt. 6) Calculate the relative formula mass of: (a) water (H 2 O), (b) magnesium sulphate (MgSO 4 ). (H = 1, O = 16, Mg = 24, S = 32) 7) Rewrite the sentences below, filling in the missing data. From my results: ___ g of H 2 O combine with __ g of anhydrous MgSO 4 in Epsom salts Therefore ___ moles of H 2 O combine with ___ moles of anhydrous MgSO 4 in Epsom salts Therefore ____ moles of H 2 O combine with 1 mole of anhydrous MgS0 4 . Conclusion: 8) Write a precise formula for Epsom salts.

Structure, bonding and properties

REQUIREMENTS Each student. or pair of students, will need: Eye protection Polythene rod and fur for charging Burette 3 beakers (100 ml) Rack with 6 test tubes Pair of carbon electrodes·100mA ammeter· 6 V battery or power pack· leads and crocodile dips Iodine (harmful) Calcium chloride (solid) (irritant) Powdered graphite isopropyl alcohol (highly flammable) benzene (toxic) Distilled water Silver nitrate solution (about 0.1 mol dm-3) Introduction Most of the physical and chemical properties of a substance can be related to the type of bonding present in it. In this practical you will study properties such as volatility and conductivity and try to explain these properties in terms of the bonding in the substance involved . Substances that are ionically bonded contain positive and negative ions. Substances that are covalently bonded contain molecules. If these molecules contain different elements, they may be polar due to the unequal sharing of electrons between the different atoms. The degree of polarity in a molecule, determined by the shape of the molecule and the relative e1ectronegativities of the atoms in it, has a significant effect on the properties of the substance. experiment 2: The effect of a charged rod on thin streams of liquid Charge a polythene rod by rubbing it on a piece of fur. Hold the rod about 1 cm from a thin stream of water running from a burette. Note what happens. 1 What sort of particles does water contain? 2 Are these particles polar? 3 Explain the effect of the charged rod on the stream of water. 4 What do you think would happen with a rod of opposite charge? Explain your answer. Repeat the experiment using benzene, and then isopropyl alcohol, instead of water. 5 Relate the behaviour of streams of these liquids towards a charged rod to the nature of the particles they contain. 6 Look up the boiling points and relative molecular masses of water, isopropyl alcohol and benzene. Try to explain the relative magnitudes of their boiling points in terms of polarity. Experiment 3: Miscibility of liquids Test the miscibility of a water and isopropyl alcohol, b water and benzene, c benzene and isopropyl alcohol. 7 Try to explain the results of experiment 2 in terms of the polarities of the molecules in the different liquids. Experiment 4: The solubility of iodine in different liquids Keep the solutions from this experiment and from experiments 4 and 5 for use in experiment 7. Put a very small crystal of iodine in a test tube. Add 5 cm3 of distilled water, put a stopper in the tube and shake. Try to decide roughly how soluble iodine is in water. Repeat the experiment using isopropyl alcohol as the solvent instead of water, and finally using benzene as the solvent. 8 What sort of particles does iodine contain? 9 What forces hold these particles together? 10 Explain the relative solubility of iodine in the three solvents. 11 Why do you think iodine is a different colour in different solvents? Experiment 5: The solubility of graphite in liquids Repeat experiment 3, using powdered graphite instead of iodine. Answer questions 8 to 10 with reference to graphite instead of iodine. Experiment 6: The solubility of calcium chloride In liquids Repeat experiment 3, using calcium chloride instead of iodine. As solutions of calcium chloride are colourless, use the following procedure to decide how much has dissolved. After shaking the crystal with the solvent, decant the 3 liquid into a test-tube, leaving the excess crystal behind. Add 2 cm of silver nitrate solution to the decanted liquid

and shake. Judge the relative solubility of calcium chloride in the three solvents from the amount of silver chloride precipitated. Answer questions 8 to 10 with reference to calcium chloride instead of iodine. Experiment 7: The volatility of iodine, graphite and calcium chloride CARE! Iodine vapor is corrosive and toxic. Use only a very small crystal of iodine and work in a fume cupboard. Heat a crystal of each of the solids in turn in a hard-glass test tube and judge their relative volatilities. 12 Try to explain the relative volatility of these three solids in terms of the particles they contain and the forces between them. Experiment 8: Conductivity Collect each of the solutions produced in experiments 3, 4 and 5. Test the conductivity of each solution by the following procedure. Connect a pair of carbon electrodes in series with a 6 V battery and a100 mA ammeter. Dip the electrodes in the solution under test and note the meter reading in each case. Test the same depth of solution each time. (If the solid showed no sign of dissolving, do not bother to perform the test in that particular case.) You should also test the conductivity of each of the pure solvents. Note: keep the electrodes clean and make sure they are not contaminated with liquid from a previous rest. 13 Try to explain the relative conductivities of the different solutions.

YEAR 12 PRACTICAL 1 Aim: To determine the molarity of a solution of sodium hydroxide by titration against hydrochloric acid using methyl orange indicator Procedure 1.

Rinse a burette with 0.500 moldm-3 hydrochloric acid.

2.

Using a funnel, fill the burette with the acid until it is just below the zero mark. Check there are no air bubbles in the tip of the burette. If there are, open the tap until the air bubbles disappear and re-fill the burette. Then remove the funnel.

3.

Use a pipette to place 25.0 cm3 of the sodium hydroxide solution into a clean conical flask. When emptying the pipette into the conical flask, allow it to empty under gravity, and then touch the surface of the liquid with the pipette for approximately one second.

4.

Add two drops of methyl orange indicator into the conical flask.

5.

6.

Titrate the acid into the alkali, 1 cm3 at a time until the mixture changes from yellow to pink. Record the final volume in the table and work out the volume delivered (the titre volume).

7.

Repeat steps 3 – 6, but now add the acid rapidly until the volume added is close to the previous titration, and then dropwise until the mixture changes colour. Record the final volume in the table.

8.

Repeat this process until two concordant titre volumes (ie within 0.1 cm3 of each other) have been achieved. If you do not have three concordant values after five attempts, stop anyway.

Analysis 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

Work out the number of moles of hydrochloric acid used in the titration. Give the equation for the reaction. Hence deduce the number of moles of sodium hydroxide which must have been present in the conical flask. Hence deduce the concentration of the sodium hydroxide solution.

Experiment # 10: Analyzing iron tablets Apparatus/materials: Iron tablets (5) sold by chemists as ferrous sulphate tablets, 1.0 mol dm-3 sulphuric acid3(irritant) 3 -3 3 3 (200 cm ), 0.01 mol dm potassium manganate(VII), (75 cm ), conical flasks (250 cm ), Standard flask (250 cm ), Burette and stand, Pipette (25 cm3) and safety filler, Filter funnel, Filter paper, Wash bottle and distilled water . Introduction: Iron is essential to the human body. Its principal role is as a constituent of haemoglobin, the oxygen-carrying agent in the blood. Iron is also present in a number of enzymes and co-enzymes involved in redox processes in the body. Some groups in the population need substantial amounts of iron in their diet in order to produce extra haemoglobin. Such people include growing children, pregnant and menstruating women, and people who have for various reasons lost considerable amounts of blood. A satisfactory intake of iron can normally be ensured by eating a suitable diet, because certain foods - liver, kidney, egg yolk and spinach for example - are rich in iron. Nevertheless, it is sometimes necessary to supplement the iron taken in the natural diet with 'iron tablets'. Iron tablets bought at the chemist usually contain iron(II) sulphate (ferrous sulphate) a cheap, soluble form of iron. In this practical you will attempt to find the actual percentage of iron(II) sulphate in the tablets and then compare this result with the quantity stated on the bottle. Assuming all the iron in the tablets is in the form of Fe2+, it is possible to estimate the iron content by titration against potassium manganate(VII), KMnO 4 .

The equation for the reaction of Fe2+ with 𝑀𝑛𝑂4− in acid solution is: 5Fe2+(aq) + 𝑀𝑛𝑂4− (aq) + 8H+(aq) 5Fe3+(aq) + Mn2+(aq) + 4H 2 0(1) 1. How many moles of Fe react with 1 mole of 𝑀𝑛𝑂4− - ? P

Procedure

Making a solution of the tablets Weigh accurately 5 of the iron tablets, then dissolve them in about 100 cm3 of 1.0 mol dm-3 sulphuric acid in a conical flask. This will probably require heating, but do not heat more than necessary to dissolve the tablets.

2. Why should the tablets not be heated more than necessary? 3. Why are the tablets dissolved in sulphuric acid instead of water?

The outer coating of the tablets will probably not dissolve, so the solution will need filtering. 4. What do you think the outer coating might be? Filter the mixture into a beaker, making sure you do not lose any of the solution, then wash out the conical flask with water and pour the washings through the filter. Finally pour distilled water over the residue and collect these washings as well. Pour the filtrate into a 250 cm3 standard flask, washing out the beaker and adding the washings to the standard flask. Make up to the mark with distilled water. Titration with potassium manganate(VII) Using a safety filler, pipette 25 cm3 of the iron(II) solution from the beaker into a conical flask. Add about 25 cm3 of 1.0 mol dm-3 sulphuric acid and titrate with 0.01 mol dm-3 potassium manganate(VII) solution. Repeat until two consistent results are obtained. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11.

How many moles of 𝑀𝑛𝑂4− were needed to react with 25 cm3 of your Fe2+ solution? How many moles of Fe2+ are there in 25 cm3 of the solution? How many moles of Fe2+ are there in all the tablets?

YEAR 12 PRACTICAL 11 Aim: To find the molar enthalpy change for the neutralisation of hydrochloric acid by sodium hydroxide Method: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.

Place a clean, dry polystyrene cup inside a glass beaker. Pipette 25.0 cm3 of 1.0 moldm-3 hydrochloric acid into the cup. Start the stopclock and record the temperature, to 1 decimal place, of the solution every 30 seconds for 3 minutes. While you are waiting, pour some 1.0 moldm-3 sodium hydroxide solution into a beaker and record its temperature using another thermometer. Using another pipette, prepare 25.0 cm3 of the sodium hydroxide solution and after the timer has been running for 3 minutes run the sodium hydroxide solution into the cup containing the acid. Place a lid on the cup and continue to measure the temperature of the solution every 30 seconds until the stopclock has been running for a total of 10 minutes. Continue to stir gently using the thermometer.

Analysis: 1. 2.

Plot a graph of temperature against time. Extrapolate the part of the graph with a negative gradient to find out what the temperature would have been after 3 minutes. Use this as your final temperature. Take the mean of the temperature of the acid and the alkali just before they were mixed. This is your initial temperature. Calculate the temperature rise using your initial and final temperatures. Taking the density of the solution to be 1.0 gdm-3, the specific heat capacity to be 4.18 JK-1g-1 and assuming the total volume of liquid has not changed, calculate the heat change during the reaction. Write an equation for the reaction and work out the number of moles of NaCl produced. Work out the enthalpy change per mole of salt produced. Include a sign and units in your answer.

A practical study of the third period REQUIREMENTS Eye protection, Samples of elements from period 3. Because of the hazardous nature of sodium (highly flammable), phosphorus (toxic) and chlorine (toxic), it is best for the teacher to demonstrate these elements. It is important to avoid confusion between phosphorus (stored under water) and sodium (stored under oil).Ideally, phosphorus and sodium should not be in the laboratory at the same time. Simple apparatus to test electrical conductivity 1 rack + 4 test tubes Full-range indicator paper Samples of the following oxides: Na 2 O (or NaOH) (corrosive), MgO, AI 2 O 3 , SiO 2 , P 2 O 5 (corrosive) Access to SO 2 cylinder, Dilute hydrochloric acid (irritant) Dilute sodium hydroxide solution (corrosive) Samples of the following chlorides: NaCI, MgCI2, AICI3, PCI3, SCI2 (or S2CI2) AICI3, PCI3, SCI2 and S2CI2 are all corrosive Bunsen burner

Introduction The periodic table provides a very important unifying pattern to the study of chemistry. The intention of this practical is to study some of the trends in properties across the third period of the periodic table. A Patterns in the properties of elements The properties of the elements show a repeating pattern with increasing atomic number. The most obvious pattern is the steady change from metals on the left to non-metals on the right of each period. Procedure Examine samples of the elements sodium to argon in period 3. Test the electrical conductivity of those elements for which the results are not given in table 1. 1.

Copy and complete table 1. You will have to consult a data book, or Section 4.7 in Chemistry in Context, Fifth Edition, for boiling point values. Na

2. How do the boiling points of elements vary across the period from sodium to argon? How are the boiling points related to the structure of the elements? 3. Describe the changes in: a) the type of elements across period 3, b) the structure of elements across period 3.

B Patterns in the properties of oxides You should know quite a lot about the properties of these compounds already.

Test the solubility of each oxide in water. Add a very small measure of each solid to about 3 cm3 of distilled water and shake thoroughly. (In the case of sulphur dioxide, bubble the gas through 3 cm3 of water in a fume cupboard for a few seconds.) If Na 2 O is not available, use sodium hydroxide (NaOH) (CARE Corrosive. Wear protective gloves.) Some oxides will dissolve easily. Others will not dissolve at all. Test the pH of the solution obtained from each oxide using full-range indicator paper. Record your results in table 2.

5. Which of the oxides of period 3 elements: a) form acidic solutions with water, b) form alkaline solutions with water c) are insoluble in water? 6. Write equations for the reactions of the soluble oxides with water. If an oxide is insoluble in water, its reactions with acids and alkalis can be used to decide its acid-base character. If an oxide dissolves in acid, it 'must have reacted with it. The oxide can therefore be classified as basic. If the oxide dissolves in alkali, it can be described as acidic. If the insoluble oxide dissolves in both acids and alkalis, it is both basic and acidic. The adjective 'amphoteric' (from a Greek word meaning 'both') is used to describe these oxides. Test the solubility of the insoluble oxides in dilute hydrochloric acid and then in dilute sodium hydroxide solution. Remember to use small measures of solid. 7. Write equations for any reactions of the insoluble oxides: a) with hydrochloric acid, b) with sodium hydroxide solution. 8. Complete the last two lines in table 2. 9. Describe the following patterns in the properties of the oxides across period 3: a) their state, b) their character (acidic/amphoteric/basic), c) their structure. C Patterns In the properties of chlorides Examine samples of the chlorides of period 3 elements. 10. Copy out table 3 and complete the first two rows.

Working in a fume cupboard, warm separate small samples of the chlorides gently with a bunsen. Investigate the relative volatility of the chlorides and put your results in table 3. Investigate the effect of water on each chloride by adding a small quantity to about 3 cm3 of distilled water in a test tube. Test the pH of the mixture obtained using full-range indicator paper, then complete table 3. 11. Explain, with equations the action of sodium chloride, aluminium chloride and phosphorus chloride with water. 12. Describe the patterns across period 3 in: a) the formula of the chlorides, b) the state of the chlorides. c) the pH of the aqueous chloride solutions, d) the structure of the chlorides
