pHET Concentration Virtual Lab Directions : Click on the link to get to the pHET Concentration Virtual Lab. The items in the red boxes can be manipulated and you can control the amounts of water or solute. The concentration sensor is the purple circle with the crosshair. You can move it into the solution. Add a couple shakes of drink mix to the water then take a couple minutes to see how the moving parts work and affect the Concentration of the solution. Part 1: Click orange restart button replace then add a few shakes of drink mix to the solution. Fill in the table. Action Drink mix is added Water is added Evaporation occurs Solution is drained Solute is removed What happens to concentration? The concentration increases. The concentration decreases. The concentration decreases. There is no concentration. There is no molarity in the concentration. Part 2: Click restart (orange circle) then change drink mix to solid potassium permanganate and add as much as you can. 1. How do you know when a solution is saturated ? I know a solution is saturated when more solute is added and it doesn’t dissolve. 2. When a solution is saturated , and additional solid solute is added, what happens? When a solution is saturated and an additional solid solute is added, more solute will be at the bottom. 3. Why do you think this is? I think this is because the solution was originally saturated. 4. How does adding this additional solute change the concentration of this saturated solution? Adding solute doesn’t change the concentration of the saturated solution. 5. Remove the solute and fill the tub with 0.5 L of water. Then slowly add KMnO 4 until the concentration is 0.400 mol/L. How many moles of KMnO 4 are in the solution? How many grams of solute are in the solution? There are 0.2 moles of KMnO 4 and 31.61 grams of solute in the solution.
Part 3: Click restart and select potassium dichromate solution. 6. Figure out a way to measure the concentration of the solution that is inside the dropper. What is the concentration of the undiluted solution in the dropper? What steps did you need to do in order for the simulation to tell you the concentration of the solution of the potassium dichromate that is in the dropper? The concentration of the undiluted solution in the dropper is 0.5 mol/L. For the simulation to tell me the concentration of the solution in the dropper, I dropped it into 1/10 of the tank and measured it with the red concentration thing. 7. Fill the tub with 0.3 L of a 0.5 M solution of potassium dichromate. How many liters of water do you need to add to dilute the solution to 0.255 M? I need double the amount of liters to dilute the solution. 6 liters in total are needed and 3 are needed to add to the original solution. 8. If you add water (starting from 0.3 L of a 0.5 M solution) until you have 0.9 L total of solution, what is the molarity of the solution? Prove your answer using calculations (M1V1 = M2V2) The molarity of the solution will be 0.2 mol/L. If there is 0.9 liters of water and 0.18 mol of K 2 Cr 2 O 7 , it will be 0.2 since 0.18/0.9 is 0.2 Post-lab Questions: Your definitions must written in your own words based on what you learned from this simulation. Definitions that are copied from other sources will not be accepted and receive zero points. 1. Based on your observations using this simulation, what would your definition of “saturated” be? In my own definition, “saturated” means a solution where the solute cannot be dissolved anymore and there will be leftover solutes in the solvent. 2. Based on your observations using this simulation, what would your definition of “solute” be? My definition of a “solute” will be what is dissolved into a solvent. 3. Based on your observations using this simulation, what would your definition of “molarity” be? After this simulation, my definition of “molarity” would be the concentration of the solution. 4. Based on your observations using this simulation, what does it mean to dilute a solution?
