Assignment

Review our notes from today and section 10.8 in your textbook to complete questions (79,80,98,99) from pages 479-481 in your textbook.  This includes quantifying enthalpy of vaporization (energy required to break IMFs in changing from a liquid to a gas) from a vapor pressure curve; read pages 461 and 462 very thoroughly to understand how enthalpy of vaporization relates to vapor pressure quantitatively.  It requires you to prepare a second graph (ln Vapor pressure vs 1/Temperature in Kelvins) and calculate the slope of the straight line that forms.  The value you use for "R" in thermodynamics is 8.31 J/mole K; you'll notice this value is on AP formulas and constants page

Assessment today (composition of mater)

Due:

Assignment

Please DO NOT do tonight's homework in your lab notebook
Tonight's homework is more practice determining composition of compounds based on experimental data. It is based on two experiments that we don't have the materials and equipment to carryout in class.  For each experiment, read the introduction and then look at the ASA.  Don't do the ASA as they have written it (it's too convoluted); instead use the data given and your understanding of the work we've done in class to determine the formulas of the unknown compounds.
The answers are as follows:
  • Experiment #4, BaCl2 and BaCO3
  • Experiment #5, compound B is PbCl2 and compound A is PbCl4

Due:

Assignment

For homework tonight, read the Experiment 4a file (attached), and complete the ASA and your Pre-lab (Introduction, materials and methods and results data tables).  For this lab you may write your materials and methods in bullet form instead of paragraph form if you prefer.  Also, you will notice that this time I did not provide data tables as in the first two labs.  You need to consider the data you are gathering and the calculations you will compete to create your own data table(s).

Due:

Assignment

For homework,
  • complete the Formula Review (attached file)
  • and on a separate sheet of paper, Read and summarize/take notes on sections 3.7 through 3.10 and copy the sample exercises 3.16 through 3.19

Assignment

For HW, read and summarize the Appendix A1.5 on pages A10 to A13 near the back of the textbook.  Then complete questions 81 and 83 from chapter 1 page 35-36.  The answers are in the back of the book for you, but you must show your work.  Question 81 is an error analysis question just as we have been learning.  You'll need to calculate the % inherent error for your answer and then convert it to an absolute error.  For practice you should also calculate the maximum and minimum.

Due:

Assignment

  1. The complete write-up for Experiment #1 is due Tuesday.  You have already done the introduction, materials and methods, and results (data and calculations).  To finish things off, determine which known liquid best matches your unknown liquid using a complete error analysis (maximum and minimum, etc.); do the same process to determine the identify of your unknown solid. Reminder that the known liquids are diethyl ether, acetone and isopropanol and the solids are aluminum, lead and zinc.  After that, write your discussion which should indicate how comfortable you feel with the accuracy and precision of your findings.  Look back over the Lab Report Format file
  2. This coming week we will be looking at quantifying the composition of matter.  In preparation for that, read sections 2.2 and 2.3 as well as sections 3.5 and 3.6.
