Experiment 2 Get Charged Up – Part I Week 2 Total Points: 50 Student’s Name: Lab Section: REPORT Your report should include the following: All data tables (2-3 and 2-4, plus calculations under table 2-4) Answers to questions 1 – 4 Graphs for the Mg Limiting reagent for the Titration method that you constructed last week Submit in a separate excel sheet (worth 10 points) o Data table you constructed in Excel for the Crystallization method o Graphs that you constructed in Excel for the Crystallization method NOTE: You must show your work for all calculations; no work, no credit. Data Table 2-3.

Experiment 2 Get Charged Up – Part I Week 2 Total Points: 50 Grams to moles for Mg (3 pts) Mass of MgCl 2 to moles Cl - (3 pts) 0.022 g Mg * 1 mol Mg / 24.31g Mg = 0.0009 mol Mg 0.097 g MgCl 2 * 1 mol MgCl 2 / 95.21 g MgCl 2 * 2 mol Cl / 1 mol MgCl 2 = 0.0020376 mols Cl - QUESTIONS 1. With regards to the actual procedure, what were the advantages and disadvantages to the titration method and the crystallization method (at least 3)? (3 pts) The crystallization method advantages were that crystallization uses less chemicals which makes it safer and leads to less human error. Disadvantages of crystallization include using heat for boiling- if too much solution boils over the beaker, then the results would not be accurate or precise. The disadvantages of titration are that it relies on humans to see color change when adding a solution which leads to a greater chance of error. 2. Based on your results , which method gave more precise results (see definition page 37)? Explain how you determined which method was more precise ( Do NOT base your decision on the precision of individual measures, but on the graphical analysis .) (8pts) Based on the results, titration is more precise. The R-value for titration is 0.9957 while the R- value for crystallization is 0.09823. The titration R-value is closer to 1 therefore it is more precise. 3. Based on your results , which method gave you more accurate results (see definition page 37)? Explain how you determined which method was more accurate. (8 pts) The slope value for titration is 2.0382, while the slope value for crystallization is 2.9962. Based on the results, titration is more precise than crystallization since the slope value is closer to 2. 4. Based on your results , what do you tell your supervisor about which method would be better for determining the charge on a metal ion after the metal reacts with HCl? Use your answers to the previous problems to summarize your overall findings. Be sure to include justifications of your finding based on your data and/or calculations. (5 pts) Based on the results, the titration method would be the better option for determining the charge on a metal ion after reacting with HCl due to being more precise and accurate than crystallization. Furthermore, titration is safer since there is no use of heat (reduces the risk of burns).
