Alka-Seltzer Lab
On Thursday, September 22
nd
, we did a lab regarding stoichiometry measurements and
how they’re used in a reaction by using Alka-Seltzers. The procedures were followed as written
in the lab notebook.
What we are trying to figure out in this lab is how the mass of NaHCO3 increases while
we increase the amount of vinegar we use. For our experiment, it does look like we messed up
somewhere along the way, since there was a huge spike from our first run, that had 100% water,
to our second run, that had 83% water (or an 10:50 vinegar/water ratio). Then that spike dropped
back down during our third run. I’ll show the graph we had below.
It does show that near the end, the mass% of NaHCO3 starts to plateau off, so if we
would have 100% vinegar, it would likely be around the same amount of mass%. This likely
means that the acid in the NaCHO3 (H+) would be the limiting reactant. The limiting reactant is
the first thing to be consumed in a reaction, meaning it limits just how much of a reaction can be
made. If we were to have a different limiting reactant, such as HCl, the graph would most likely
have a much higher initial jump during run 2, then it would most likely have more extreme of
numbers. We would need a much bigger graph.
Different calculations we used are shown below.
CO32-+H
CO2+H2O (balance)
CO32-+
2
H
CO2+H2O All we did to balance the equation was add another H.
I will show our table below, but our other calculations shown were how we got mass% of
NaHCO3. What we did was divide the mass reacted in each run by the mass of the Alka-Seltzer
in each run. (the Alka-Seltzer was always 3.2 g). the reasoning for this is because we are trying
to see the percentage of mass reacted, so we divide the reacted mass by original mass to learn the
difference of the two.
And example of this would be from run 1, where we did:
1.15 g/mol /3.2 g = 35.94%

A student carried out an investigation to observe the effect of changing
concentration of sulfuric acid on the breakdown of calcium carbonate
(marble) chips. They changed the concentration of the acid between
each test but kept the size of the marble chips constant. The full equation
for the reaction and a graph of the overall results can be seen below.

If the student had ground up the calcium carbonate chips into
a powder and run the tests again, what would you expect to
happen to the rate of reaction? Briefly explain why by

There are two steps in the usual industrial preparation of acrylic acid, the immediate precursor of several useful plastics. In the first step, calcium carbide and
water react to form acetylene and calcium hydroxide:
CaC₂(s) + 2 H₂O(g) → C₂H₂(g) + Ca(OH)₂(s)
-
In the second step, acetylene, carbon dioxide and water react to form acrylic acid:
6C₂H₂(g) + 3 CO₂(g) + 4H₂O(g) → 5 CH₂CHCO₂(g)
ΔΗ = 132. kJ
Calculate the net change in enthalpy for the formation of one mole of acrylic acid from calcium carbide, water and carbon dioxide from these reactions.
Round your answer to the nearest kJ.

18) In one of your experiments, you used a Grignard reaction to make a carboxylic acid.
„Br 1) Mg
2) CO2
As part of this experiment, the following procedures were given:
1. When the Grignard reaction begins to slow down, place 10 g of crushed dry ice in a 150 mL
beaker. Do not take time to weigh the dry ice. Use approximately the amount in the beaker indicated
by your instructor. The CO2 is in large excess and will not affect your calculation of percent yield of
benzoic acid product. Cover the beaker with a watch glass.
2. When most of the magnesium has reacted and the ether boiling subsides, quickly pour the
contents of the tube into the beaker containing dry ice.
3. Add a few milliliters of ether to the test tube and swirl to rinse. Add the rinse liquid to the
beaker.
4. Cover the beaker with the watch glass and allow it to stand until the next lab period. During the
interim, the excess dry ice will have sublimed.
5. Hydrolyze the Grignard addition product by slowing adding 30 mL of…

The Haber-Bosch process is a very important
industrial process. In the Haber-Bosch process,
hydrogen gas reacts with nitrogen gas to produce
ammonia according to the equation
3H₂(g) + N₂ (g)→2NH3(g)
The ammonia produced in the Haber-Bosch process
has a wide range of uses, from fertilizer to
pharmaceuticals. However, the production of
ammonia is difficult, resulting in lower yields than
those predicted from the chemical equation.
1.04 g H₂ is allowed to react with 10.4 g N₂, producing 2.68 g NH3.
