Reaction of Aluminum with a Strong Acid Name: Iris Diaz Hand-In, Chem 150L, Fall 2022 Due Monday, Sept. 26, 11:59 pm Partner: Meghan Swanson 1. (3 points) (a) Based upon your observations for the series of experiments of Al with HCl , is there a limiting reagent in each one of the experiments? (b) Is the identity of the limiting reagent the same over your entire series of experiments? Explain using the observations (NOT numbers/ graphs) from your experiments. {Type answer here.} 2. (6 points) (a) Insert your properly-formatted graph below. (b) What trends do you observe in your graph? Describe the trends and what they mean in relation to the limiting and excess reagent(s) you identified in Question #1 above. (c) Do the trends meet (cross) anywhere? If so, what is the significance of this point? {Type answer here regarding any trends and meeting points.} 3. (7 points) Using your experimental results , show your work for each step of the calculations required to obtain your experimentally-balanced chemical equation for the reaction of Al with HCl. Briefly explain (referring to your graph where necessary) what you are doing in each step. Your final answer in this question should be the experimentally-balanced chemical equation, including phase labels. Be sure to use subscripts and superscripts correctly when typing chemical equations and formulas. (You can find an arrow character under Insert: Symbol.) For mathematical calculations, you must use Equation Editor . Be sure to include units and the appropriate number of significant figures.
{Type calculations and explanations here.} {Type experimentally-balanced equation here.} 4. (4 points) (a) What is the expected formula for aluminum chloride based on the typical charges of aluminum ion and chloride ion from the periodic table? Based on this, write the expected balanced equation for the reaction of aluminum with hydrochloric acid. (b) What is the percent difference between the two equations? Use Equation Editor to show the calculation. (c) Does the experimentally-balanced equation determined in Question #3 above agree with the expected balanced equation, considering the percent difference and possible sources of experimental error? (d) Which measurement (mass or volume) has the greatest relative uncertainty (error) in this experiment? {Type the balanced equation here that is based on expected charges of aluminum and chloride.} {Show percent difference calculation and type discussion here.} See the attached rubric for more detailed information about grading.
