1.) While determining the pressure during the Dumas experiment, if the barometric pressure reported were lower than the actual vapor pressure (Part I), how would this error affect the calculated molar mass of the unknown volatile liquid? Explain.
QUESTIONS (Submit your answers on a separate sheet if necessary.) 1. If some of your unknown sample failed to dissolve completely, would the value of the molecular weight you calculated be too high, too low, or unaffected? Explain fully. 2. What would be the effect on the experimentally determined molecular weight if your sample contained a soluble impurity of higher molecular weight than the pure sample? Explain. 3. What would be the effect on the observed molecular weight if your unknown sample contained a insoluble impurity of lower molecular weigh than the pure sample? Explain.
Laboratory Questions (edited) Put answers on a separate piece of paper and provide enough room for instructor comments. 1. Based on the procedure of this experiment, explain the effect of the following actions on the assessed masses of the components indicated. Where indicated, also address the effect on the percent recovery (Part D of the experiment). The choices include: lower, higher, no effect or could be higher or lower. If the answer could be higher or lower, provide a detailed explanation. a) Sublimation of NH4CI was not complete. How does this situation affect the calculated mass of NH4CI and the percent recovery? b) While decanting, some of the salty water was spilled onto the lab bench. How does this situation affect the calculated mass of NaCl and the percent recovery? c) While decanting, some of the sand was inadvertently transferred to the second evaporating dish. How does this situation affect the masses of NaCl and sand (SiO2) and the percent recovery? d) While weighing…
Select all of the following experimental errors that would have affected the percent recovery of solid copper through the series of 5 reactions in the cycle of copper experiment. Group of answer choices The copper product was wet when recording the final mass. Excess water was used to during the heating process in reaction 3 in order to clean the sides of your beaker. Your final product contained grey black solid particles The solution remained a slight tint of blue in the final reaction step (when adding zinc). Excess HNO3 was added into the reaction mixture in the first reaction step. Excess NaOH was added into the second reaction step. Excess H2SO4 was added into the fourth reaction step. Some solid was removed during the decant process.
Specify whether the calculated mass percent of water would be too high, too low, or unchanged as a result of each of the following experimental conditions. Justify your answers. a. The heating was insufficient to remove all of the water from the hydrated salt. b. Some of the sample spattered out of the crucible onto the laboratory bench during the heating.
Choose all that apply. In Experiment 4, we use a mixture of 50% water and 50% isopropyl alcohol as the solvent. Why do we use this mixture rather than using pure water as the solvent? O The isopropyl alcohol is needed to act as a catalyst for the reaction to occur. There would be too much of a reactant that it would distort the reaction rate. t-butyl chloride is has low solubility in pure water. The hydrolysis reaction would occur too quickly in pure water to have good measurements for analysis. The isopropyl alcohol is necessary for the reaction to occur.
