Lab 1: Introduction, Physical Properties, and Chemical Changes Experiment 1 In this experiment, you measured the initial temperature and maximum temperature of a solution before and after an acid-base reaction. 1. What was the initial temperature of the HCl solution and NaOH solution before mixing? Because they were both stored in the same room, we can assume they were the same temperature. 2. What was the maximum temperature reached after the acid and base solutions were mixed, and what was the temperature change , T? ( T = T max T initial ) T max = T = 3. Explain why the temperature increased. Experiment 2 In this experiment, you measured the pressure as a sample of air was restricted to smaller and smaller volumes. 4. Fill in the following table with the volume and pressure values you recorded. Air Volume (mL) Pressure (atm) 150.0 1.00 125.0 100.0 75.0 50.0 Name:
5. Relationship between Air Pressure and Volume a. Based on your data, what happens to pressure after the volume of the air in the flask has been reduced? b. Based on your data, describe the relationship between air pressure and volume. c. Which of the following equations best describes this relationship? You may need to graph your data using a graphing program, such as Excel. P = kV P = k(1/V) P + V = 1 P = log V P = log(1/V) d. Which of the following plots best describes the relationship between air pressure and volume?
Experiment 3 In this experiment, you heated a sample of a copper mineral to decompose it to simpler substances. 6. Record the mass values you measured and calculated in the table below. When recording mass values you measured, be sure to record all digits displayed by the balance output reading . a Mass of an empty crucible (g) b Mass of the crucible with malachite, CuCO 3 Cu(OH) 2 (grams, g) c Subtract (a) from (b) to obtain the mass of malachite CuCO 3 Cu(OH) 2 (grams, g) d Mass of crucible after reaction is complete (with black solid), (g) e Mass of black solid in crucible after reaction is complete (g) f Change in mass of solid in crucible from Before Reaction to After Reaction (g) 7. Write the balanced equation for decomposition of malachite. Include physical state symbols. (See Background in lab manual.) 8. What does your calculated value in Row f in your data table represent? How would you account for the loss of mass? 9. Based on your data collected, (a) Record your calculated value for the total combined mass of the CO 2 gas and water vapor produced in the reaction. (b) Explain how you determined this value, and what "Law" is the basis for obtaining this value. (a) (b)

Experiment 4 In this experiment, you determined the density of iron and aluminum. 10. Record the measured mass and volume measurements you made, and your calculated results. Remember to record all digits from the balance reading for mass values. Volume measurements should be recorded to one decimal place because the last significant figure in a measurement is estimated between the volume marks on the graduated cylinder. Iron (Fe) Aluminum (Al) Mass of metal added to water Initial volume of the water before metal was added (mL) Total volume of water containing metal (mL) Volume of metal in water, determined by displacement of water (mL) Density of metal (g/mL) 11. Describe any issues you had with the virtual lab, or any unrealistic situations you thought were funny. For example, when I ran through this lab I had trouble turning off the Bunsen burner at one point, so I just threw it in the trash and the trash blew up. I noticed at that point that the Bunsen burner was never really plugged into a gas line - Pam Marks Also describe the benefits and deficiencies you seen in virtual labs compared to real lab experiences.
