Essay On Stoichiometry

Your mass precision should be reported to a thousandth of a gram, i.e. 0.302. (Use 3 significant figures.)

5. Calculate the mass of the water by subtracting “Mass A” from “Mass B.” Record the mass of the water in Data Table 4.

Combustion Reaction: A chemical reaction between a fuel and an oxidizing agent that produces heat.

The mass percent of ascorbic acid in the sample is given by dividing the calculated mass of ascorbic acid (0.414060408 g) by the calculated mass of the sample (0.5500 g) and multiplying the quotient by 100%.

Using elemental analysis to determine the percent mass composition of each element in a compound is the first step in creating an empirical formula. There are many different types of elemental analysis, but in this experiment gravitational analysis and Beer’s Law are used. Elemental analysis is first used to find the moles of each element, then converted to mass, and then the percent mass of the element in the product is found (2).

10. The accepted value for the density of aluminum is 2.699 g/cm3. Using this density and the masses of your two samples of aluminum foil, calculate the volume of aluminum in each sample: the regular vs. the heavy duty. (Note: You will have to use a bit of algebra and the formula D = m/v for this calculation!)  You must show all your work. (15 pts)

Working in the hood or a designated work area, add about 1 mL of ethyl alcohol to a clean evaporating dish. Place the evaporating dish on a heat- resistant pad.

This purpose of this experiment is to calculate the thickness of a sheet of aluminum foil. This experiment is necessary because the human eye cannot accurately measure the small thickness of aluminum foil with only a ruler. However, to understand the procedure one needs to understand conversion, density, and volume. Conversion is when one converts one unit to another unit using a conversion factor(e.g. 2.54cm/in). Density is how much mass there is in a certain volume(density=mass/volume) and it stays constant in a substances and mixtures that have the same composition. Volume is the amount of space that an object occupies. The experiment will consist of weighing of aluminum foil, measuring the length and width, then converting these values

It used mass, temperature, length, volume, density, and making a dilute solution. I learned the importance as well as the difficulty of making proper measurements in a lab setting. If one measurement is off, it will throw the entire equation off. This will give either incorrect or inaccurate results.

1) Pour 25 mL of the 1 M hydrochloric acid into the beaker and rinse the solid by swirling the acid around in the bottom of the beaker.

The purpose of this lab was to become familiar with the three different balances and two different methods used to find the weight and mass of chemicals and compounds in the ChemLab program. The lab was performed by using three different types of balances, and the direct weighing and weighing by difference methods.

2. Remove the measuring cylinder from the balance and add 6.0 mL of water to it.

Measure 500ml of tap water in the 500cm3 beaker, then measure 5g of sodium hydrogen carbonate using the 50cm3 beaker and weight scale and place in the beaker of water, using the glass rod to dissolve it into the mixture.

Step six: After this, they used the equation, Density = Mass/Volume, to find the density of the 100 g mass and recorded it onto the table.

Materials and Methods: Using all PPE a weighing boat and a balance were used to measure out 1.1121g of pieces of aluminum can.
