CHEM 2545 -Fall 2023 Lab 2: Characterization of Unknowns Post-lab (65 pts total) 1. Upload a copy of your notebook pages with your data/observations from this lab (as a pdf). (2 pts) The next 3 questions of this post-lab will relate to your experimental data. Please refer to your notebook pages for values you recorded during lab. For full credit on the following questions, show all calculations and include units. 2. Liquid unknown number (1 pts): 74 Solid unknown number (1 pts): 87 4 3. Please complete the following questions using the data obtained for your liquid unknown. a. Calculate density of your unknown liquid in g/mL. Show all steps of your calculations and include all/any units for full credit. (5 Pts) Weight of vial w/o liquid : 5.225 g Weight of vial with unknown liquid: 6.195g Volume 1 mL 6.195g - 5.225 g = 0.97 g D=M/V D= 0.97g /1mL D= 0.97 g/mL Density of your liquid unknown: 0.97 g/mL b. Use the equation in your manual (page 20) to calculate refractive index a 20°C. Show all steps of your calculations for full credit. (5 pts) n 20 =n T +0.00045(T-20 oC ) n 20 =1.426+0.00045*(23.1 -20) n 20 =1.427 Refractive index of your liquid unknown: 1.427 c. Boiling point of your liquid unknown (2 pts): 80 o C d. Use the data given in your manual to identify your liquid unknown (4 pts): Cyclohexane 1
CHEM 2545 -Fall 2023 Lab 2: Characterization of Unknowns Post-lab (65 pts total) 4. Please complete the following questions using the data obtained for your solid unknown. a. Melting point of your solid unknown (2 pts): 135 o C-136 o C b. Which standard(s) did you use for mixed melting point (4 pts): trans-cinnamic acid c. Mixed melting point (2 pts): 133 o C-136 o C d. What is the identity of your solid unknown (4 pts): trans-cinnamic acid e. Calculate the percent weight recovery of your solid unknown. Show all steps of your calculations and include all/any units for full credit. (5 Pts) The next two questions of this post-lab require you to understand the concepts related to this lab. The lab manual is an excellent resource if you are having trouble with these questions. If you are still unsure how to answer these questions (after reading the lab manual) seek help during TA office/zoom hours. 5. Read the description of dipole-dipole forces on page 9 of your lab manual. Polar molecules experience permanent partial positive and partial negative charges. Use arrows (like the ones shown on page 9 of your manual) to show the direction of the net dipoles in the following molecules. If there is no net dipole, circle the molecule (16 pts). The first one is shown as an example. Hint: When drawing your arrows, think about electronegativity of each atom. The arrow will point towards the location of the electron density. 2
CHEM 2545 -Fall 2023 Lab 2: Characterization of Unknowns Post-lab (65 pts total) 6. Three molecules are drawn below. Although they have similar molecular weights, their boiling points are very different. This is due to the differences in intermolecular forces present in each liquid (12 pts). In the table below, indicate (yes or no) if each of the intermolecular forces are present for each liquid. Intermolecular Forces Molecule A Molecule B Molecule C Induced dipole- Induced dipole Yes Yes Yes Dipole-dipole Yes Yes No Hydrogen bonding Yes No No Ionic No No No 3
