Spring 2024 Lab 6 Assignment: Alka Seltzer Strength Be sure to report all data and calculated results with the correct number of significant figures. Record all digits when making measurements. Follow the rules for significant figures , and remember that the rules for addition and subtraction differ from the rules from multiplication and division. Part 1: Determining the Nature of the Reaction 1. Based on the Background information, what product of the reaction causes the bubbling to occur when Alka-Seltzer is added to the vinegar? The product of the reaction causing the bubbles is the carbon dioxide gas or CO2. 2. Based on the Background information, what component of Alka-Seltzer reacts with the acid in the vinegar? Write its name and chemical formula. Sodium Bicarbonate – NaHCO3 3. Use the Background information and Chapter 4 in your textbook as a reference to write a balanced equation (including physical states) for the reaction you observed when you added sodium bicarbonate to the acid in vinegar, acetic acid, HC 2 H 3 O 2 ( aq ). NaHCO3(s)+HC2H3O2(aq)→H2O(l)+CO2(g)+NaC2H3O2(aq) 4. Explain why the other components of Alka-Seltzer (described in the Background) should not react with acetic acid in vinegar to product a gas. The other components of Alka-Seltzer don’t have the necessary components to participate in the acid- base neutralization reaction therefor they don’t react with anything in the reaction.

5. Fill in the table below with your recorded data and calculated results for Part 1. BEAKER Column (1) Initial Mass (g) Column (2) Final Mass (g) Column (3) Mass CO 2 evolved (g) Column (4) Moles CO 2  evolved (mols) # Mass of beaker & solution (g) Mass of Alka- Seltzer (g) 1 67.089g 2.000g 69.089g 68.500g .589g .0134 moles Column 1: This initial mass (before reaction) is the measured mass of the beaker containing the vinegar solution PLUS the mass of the Alka-Seltzer tablet (2.000 g). Column 2: This final mass is the measured mass of the beaker with its solution after the reaction between the Alka-Seltzer with the vinegar. Column 3: Calculate the mass of CO 2  evolved in each beaker by subtracting the final mass from the initial mass.   Show calculation for Beaker #1 here.   69.089g-68.500g = .589g Column 4: Convert the mass of CO 2 evolved (column 3) to moles of CO 2 evolved. When determining molar mass of CO 2 , be sure to use at least four significant figures in your molar mass values obtained from the periodic table. For Beaker #1, write the value for mass of CO 2 evolved and show your calculation here.   .589g / (44g/mol) = .0134 mols 6. Which of the following statements is true? Circle or highlight your choice. A. The moles of the CO 2 gas evolved should be equal to the moles of the NaHCO 3 (in the Alka- Seltzer tablet) that reacted. B. The mass of the CO 2 gas evolved should be equal to the mass of the Alka-Seltzer tablet. C. The moles of the CO 2 gas evolved should be less than the moles of the NaHCO 3 (in the Alka- Seltzer tablet) that reacted. D. The mass of the CO 2 gas evolved should be equal to the mass of the NaHCO 3 in the Alka-Seltzer tablet. Page 2 of 7
Part 2: Determining the Percent-By-Mass NaHCO3 in Alka-Seltzer Be sure to report all data and calculated results with the correct number of significant figures. Record all digits when making measurements. Follow the rules for significant figures , and remember that the rules for addition and subtraction differ from the rules from multiplication and division. 7. Fill in the table below with your recorded data and calculated results. More descriptive instructions for each column are below the chart. For some of the columns you’ll need to show a sample calculation. BEAKER # Column (1) Initial Mass (g) Column (2) Final Mass (g) Column (3) mass CO 2 evolved (g) Column (4) moles CO 2 evolved (mols) Column (5) moles of NaHCO 3 reacted (mols) Column (6) mass of NaHCO 3 reacted (g) 1 65g 64.239g .761g .0173 mols .0173 mols 1.453g 2 65.005g 64.171g .834g .0190 mols .0190 mols 1.596g 3 65.010g 64.127g .883g .0200 mols .0200 mols 1.681g 4 65.015g 64.132g .883g .0200 mols .0200 mols 1.681g 5 65.020g 64.137g .883g .0200 mols .0200 mols 1.681g 6 65.026g 64.172g .854g .0194 mols .0194 mols 1.630g Column 1: This initial mass (before reaction) is the measured mass of the beaker containing the water and vinegar PLUS the mass of the Alka-Seltzer tablet (3.000 g). Column 2: This final mass is the measured mass of each beaker with its solution after the reaction between the Alka-Seltzer with the vinegar and water. Column 3: Calculate the mass of CO 2  evolved in each beaker by subtracting the final mass from the initial mass.   Show calculation for Beaker #6 here. 65.026g – 64.172g = .854g Column 4: Calculate the number of moles of CO 2  evolved in each beaker. (Remember to use molar mass with at least four significant figures in your calculation.) Write the value and show calculation for Beaker #6 here. Page 3 of 7
