Chemical Detective Lab
Today we are chemical detectives creating chemical reactions involving single and/or double replacement reactions. As a detective, it is your job to predict whether a reaction will occur and if so write the name and formula of the product. You must make your predictions before
you place the two reactants together. You will work together with your lab partner using your Activity Series
and Solubility
charts to make your predictions. When you have recorded your predictions, you will then test your predictions to determine if they were correct. Materials:
-Chemplate -Toothpicks -Waste container -Paper towels -Hydrochloric acid -Silver nitrate -Magnesium -
Copper - Lead(II)nitrate -Sodium hydroxide -Sodium chloride -Copper(II)sulfate -Zinc nitrate
- Barium chloride -Sodium carbonate
Procedures:
1. Use your activity and solubility tables to predict if a reaction will occur in each of the reactions below. 2. If you decide no reaction will occur between the reactants you will write No Rxn in your data table and move to
the next reaction.
3. If you determine that a reaction will occur you will record Rxn in your data table. Then, you will write the name
and the formula
of the product(s) in your data table. (Do not worry about balancing equations at this time).
4. Make your predictions for all reactions before conducting the lab.
5. Conduct each of the reactions using a Chem plate. Make sure the wells of the plate are clean before you begin. 6. Place two drops of each reactant in the correct spot on the Chem plate and stir with a clean end of a toothpick. Wait a few minutes to check whether your prediction was correct or incorrect. Record observations and determine if your predictions were correct. Indicate on data table. Do this for each reaction.
When using copper or lead beads remove one from Ziploc bag only using scoopula. When using Magnesium, use forceps to extract one small piece from the Ziploc bag.
7. When you have finished, pour contents of Chem plate into the waste container, not the sink.
8. Follow clean-up procedures on the board.

Calculations:
1.
Write and balance the chemical equations for each reaction. If the reaction could not occur write “No Reaction” on the product side of the equation.
2.
Use your number of correct predictions to calculate your % error. (10 possible correct answers).
Analysis Questions:
1. In the single displacement reactions, explain how you predicted whether the metals would react with the solution?
2. In this lab, you observed several double displacement reactions that go to completion and produce a precipitate. What are two other types of products that can be produced in a double displacement reaction that will
cause the reaction to occur? 3. In the double displacement reactions, explain how you predicted whether the reaction would go to completion.
Conclusion: Follow lab write-up guidelines for conclusion paragraph.
Number of Correct Predictions:
(How did you do as a Chemical Detective?)

4. Write the Molecular, Complete lonic and Net lonic equations for following reaction. Ammonium bromide and lead
(11) nitrate react to form lead (II) bromide and ammonium nitrate.
5. You need to selectively precipitate and separate the metal ions Co*, Pb*?, and Sr2 in a tap water sample. This
means you need to precipitate out each heavy metal in the sample separately so that only one type of heavy
metal is removed by precipitation at a time. The only solutions available for you to precipitate the metals are
aqueous solutions of NaCl, Na,SO, and NaOH. Write the balanced net ionic equation for each precipitation
reaction (1 net ionic for each metal ion) IN THE ORDER they must be precipitated.

QUESTION #1:
TOPIC: Solving for a reactant in solution
One way in which the useful metal copper is produced is by dissolving the mineral azurite, which contains copper(II) carbonate, in concentrated sulfuric acid. The sulfuric acid reacts with the copper(II) carbonate to produce a blue solution of copper(II) sulfate. Scrap iron is then added to this solution, and pure copper metal precipitates out because of the following chemical reaction:
Fe(s) +CuSO4(aq) →Cu(s) +FeSO4(aq)
Suppose an industrial quality-control chemist analyzes a sample from a copper processing plant in the following way. He adds powdered iron to a 350. mL copper(II) sulfate sample from the plant until no more copper will precipitate. He then washes, dries, and weighs the precipitate, and finds that it has a mass of 93. mg. Calculate the original concentration of copper(II) sulfate in the sample. Round your answer to 2 significant digits.

Your lab assignment presentation involves putting together a presentation to show other students on how to perform titration. In other words, your presentation can be used to show other students (next term) how they can perform a titration by following your instructions and calculations.
To do this presentation, we are giving you the type of acid, acetic acid, the type of base, NaOH to be used, and you will use phenolphthalein as the indicator. You will use the data given to you to be used as an example of how to solve the mathematical calculations. At the end of your presentation, you will show the unknown concentration of the acetic acid (Molarity) and will also show the % mass/ vol of the Vinegar solution.

Volumetric Analysis
Liza carefully pipets 25.0 mL of 0.525 M NaOH into a test tube. She places the test tube into a small beaker to keep it from spilling and then pipets 75.0 mL of 0.355 M HCl into another test tube. When Liza reaches to put this test tube of acid into the beaker along with test tube of base, she accidentally knocks the test tubes together hard enough to break them and their respective contents combine in the bottom of the beaker. Is the solution formed from the contents of the two test tubes acidic or basic? What is the pH of the resulting solution?
