Chemistry Lab Report Name: Date: 06/06/2022 Experiment #: 8 Title: Molar Mass Purpose: To determine the molar mass of an unknown solute Procedure: First find the FP of cyclohexane(solvent) The FP of cyclohexane(solvent) and unknown solute Molar Mass of solute is estimated and compared to actual value. 1. Collect 10 ml of cyclohexane and place it into a test tube. 2. Place a stopper with thermometer on the test tube. 3. Place test tube in an ice bath that contains ice and salt. 4. Allow time for cyclohexane to cool and freeze 5. Once frozen, place the test tube on a ring stand, and watch it melt. (Initial Temperature= 6.6 C) 6. Every 30 seconds record the temperature 30 seconds= 6.6 C ~1 minute = 7.0 C 8 minutes= 11.4 C 7. Weigh the unknown solute (0.3014g) and add it to the test tube containing the solvent and stir it until it dissolves 8. Place test tube, containing both the solute and solvent, in an ice bath that contains ice and salt to freeze 9. Once frozen, place the test tube on a ring stand, and watch it melt. (Initial Temperature= 1.4 C) 30 seconds= 0.8 C ~1 minute= 0.8 C 8 minutes= 11.4 C Data/Results/Calculations: Molar Mass of Unknown Solute 10 ml cyclohexane= 0.7726 g/mL 0.00773 kg k f of cyclohexane = 6.6 C k f of cyclohexane + unknown solvent = 0.8 C
Chemistry Lab Report Change in T= 6.6 C - 0.8 C = 5.8 C Change in T= k f x m 5.8 C= 20.4 C/m x m m= 0.2843 m m= mol of solute/ kg solvent = g/(g/mol) / kg solvent 0.2843 m = 0.3014g/(g/mol)/ 0.00773 kg g/mol= 137 g/mol of unknown solute actual= 147.0 g/mol for solute para-Dichlorobenzene %error= (147.0 g/mol -137.0 g/mol) / 147.0 g/mol x 100= 6.8% Conclusions: By completing this experiment, we were able to determine what is our unknown solute that reacted with cyclohexane. We had to find the freezing point of both the solvent and solute to calculate the molality. With knowing the molality, we then were able to calculate the molar mass. The experimental molar mass we have gotten was 137 g/mol which is very close to para-Dichlorobenzene molar mass which is 147.0 g/mol. The percent error is 6.8 % error which is small but could’ve been could have been due to measurement errors.
