Magnesium Ribbon And Hydrochloric Acid Lab Report

2. Obtained a 2-3 cm strip of magnesium metal ribbon and coiled it loosely into a small ball. Added the magnesium metal to the acid in the test tube.

During the immersion of the magnesium metal in the hydrochloric acid solution, white bubbles could be seen escaping the surface of the metal as gas was produced during the reaction. Depending on the temperature of the hydrochloric acid and the overall molar concentration, the rate of reaction differed but the same signs were shown. During the reaction between the magnesium metal and higher concentrations of hydrochloric acid, it was observed that the test tube grew quite warm to the touch. As the immersed magnesium strip sank down, it appeared coated in a layer of white bubbles that fizzed like a carbonated drink. In the lower concentrations of hydrochloric acid, the strip spent some time floating at the surface of the solution in the test tube, later sinking down to the bottom as the

Title: The Effect Temperature of Sodium Thiosulfate Has On The Rate of Reaction with Hydrochloric Acid

The first step that needed to be done in this experiment was adding hydrochloric acid (HCl)

    In this lab, a calorimeter was used to find the enthalpy of reaction for two reactions, the first was between magnesium and 1 molar hydrochloric acid, and the second was between magnesium oxide and 1 molar hydrochloric acid. After the enthalpy for both of these were found, Hess’ law was used to find the molar enthalpy of combustion of magnesium, using the enthalpies for the two previous reactions and the enthalpy of formation for water. The enthalpy of reaction for the magnesium + hydrochloric acid reaction was found to be -812.76 kJ. The enthalpy of reaction for the magnesium oxide + hydrochloric acid reaction was found to be -111.06 kJ. These two enthalpies and the enthalpy of formation for water were manipulated and added together using Hess’s law to get the molar enthalpy of combustion of magnesium. It was found that the molar enthalpy of combustion of magnesium was -987.5 kJ/mol. The accepted enthalpy was -601.6 kJ/mol, which means that there is a percent difference of 64%. This percent difference is very high which indicates that this type of experiment is very inefficient for finding the molar enthalpy of combustion of magnesium. Most likely, a there are many errors in this simple calorimeter experiment that make it inefficient for finding the molar enthalpy of combustion of magnesium.

Kinetics is the study of the rate of chemical processes. The kinetics of the reaction between crystal violet and NaOH was studied. In order to monitor crystal violet concentration as a function of time, a spectroscopic colorimeter was used. What is the rate law for decolorization of crystal violet? In order to figure this out, the rate of the reaction of crystal violet and sodium hydroxide must be found. In this experiment, the initial goals were to determine the overall rate law for the rate of decolorization of crystal violet in basic solutions as a function of time and to determine the rate law for the reaction including the actual value of k; Rate = k[A]x[B]y. The rate of a reaction was expected to depend on the concentrations

About 80 mL of HCl was obtained and mixed with phenolphthalein. Using a LabQuest unit and Gas Pressure Sensor kit, the HCl mixture was added to the flask with the magnesium ribbon and allowed to react. When reaction was complete, the change of temperature and gas was recorded. This procedure was repeated for different masses of magnesium ribbon (masses found on page 89 of the lab manual). After the completed procedure, moles of H₂ produced in each trial were calculated. (The actual procedure can be found on pages 87-89 of the lab manual)

It is to tell how the reaction between magnesium and hydrochloric acid will be effected if we change the concentration of hydrochloric acid.

Procedure: Filled each test tube with substances provided and subjected them to various conditions. These conditions included, heat, cold water, hot water, acid and basic additions and tested on litmus paper. The reactions were observed and documented at each step.

Engage: The teacher will prepare beforehand the two plastic cup solutions. The teacher will pour 100mL of water in one clear plastic cup and add 10g of magnesium sulfate. Stir until the solution is clear. The teacher will pour 50 mL of water in another clear plastic sup and add 5 g of sodium carbonate. Stir until the solution is clear. The teacher will hold up the two clear colorless solutions and slowly pour the smaller amount into the larger. Students will record their observations and questions they have about the reaction in their Science Interactive Journals.

As the acid was being added, the mixture was being stirred over a stir plate. Once completed, the reaction mixture was poured from the round bottom flask into a 500 mL separatory funnel and its top (organic) layer was extracted into another beaker. The bottom (aqueous) layer was placed back into the funnel and extracted twice with 50.0 mL of ethyl ether each. The newly extracted layers were combined and dried over magnesium sulfate (MgSO4). The dried solution was the decanted into a beaker to remove the MgSO4 salts and the product solution was collected via Buchner vacuum filtration. The resulting product was transferred into an Erlenmeyer flask with an inverted beaker on top and stored in a drawer.

5.3 mL of bromobenzne and 15 mL of anhydrous ether was then placed into the separatory funnel and was shaken and vented in order to mix the solution. Half of the bromobenzene solution was added first into the round bottom flask and as soon as a color change was observed, the remaining half of the bromobenzene was added drop wise into the round bottom flask. The mixture was then refluxed on a heating mantle for 10 minutes until most of the magnesium has been consumed.
