Experiment 1 DISTILLATION OF BINARY LIQUIDS OBJECTIVE: To construct a boiling point-composition diagram for a binary liquid system. DISCUSSION: When a mixture of two liquids is distilled, the boiling point will be that temperature at which the sum the sum of the partial vapour pressures of the two liquids is equal to the atmospheric pressures. If the liquids form an ideal solution, then the partial pressures can be calculated with the aid of Raoults law and the total pressure can be expresses by the equation P=N1p1+ N2p2, where P is the total pressure, N1 and N2 are the more fractions of compounds 1 and 2, respectively, and p1 and p2 are the vapour pressures that the pure compounds 1 and 2, respectively, would have at the given temperature. If the attractive forces between unlike molecules are greater than between like molecules, then the total pressure will be less than that predicted by Raoults law; if the attractive forces between unlike molecules are less than between like molecules, then the total pressure will be greater than that predicted by Raoults law. A lower total pressure corresponds to a higher boiling point, and vice versa. A boiling point composition diagram consists of two curves on the same graph. (1) a plot of the composition (usually mole fraction) of a liquid against its boiling point, (2) a plot of the composition of the vapour in equilibrium with the liquid at its boiling point. MATERIALS: 250-ml distilling flask, condenser, adaptor, thermometer, 1225-ml Erlenmeyer flasks, 10-ml graduated cylinder, 5-ml pipets, 100-ml beaker, 600-ml beaker, burette, iron stand, burette clamp, boiling chips, glacial acetic acid, 1M NaOH, phenolphthalein indicator. PROCEDURE: 1. Prepare a simple distillation set-up. 2. Mix 50-ml of glacial acetic acid and 1-ml of distilled water in a 100-ml beaker. 3. Pipet 1 ml of the mixture into each of two 125-ml Erlenmeyer flask and label both flasks L-1 to make two trials. 4. Transfer the rest of the solution in step 2 to the distilling flask in the set-up and add the boiling chips. 5. Slowly distill the mixture collecting the distillate in a clean, dry 10-ml graduated cylinder. Read and record the temperature when 3-ml of the distillate has been collected. Stop the distillation when 6-ml of the distillate has been collected.

6. Pipet 1-ml of the solution remaining in the distilling flask into each of the Erlenmeyer flasks previously labelled L-1 in step 3. 7. Pipet 2-ml of the distillate from step 5 into each of the two Erlenmeyer flasks and label both flasks V-1. 8. Add 5-ml of distilled water to the remaining solution in the distilling flask. Distill over 1-2 ml to wash out the condenser. 9. Stop heating and pipet 1-ml of the solution into each of two 125-ml Erlenmeyer flasks labelled L-2. 10. Repeat steps 5 to 7 labelling the distillate fractions as V-2. 11. Repeat steps 8-10 using 10, 20, and 30 ml of distilled water labelling the flasks L-3 and V-3, L-4 and V-4, and L-5 and V-5, respectively. 12. Titrate the solutions in the flasks with 1 M NaOH using phenolphthalein as indicator. 13. Record the data on the report sheet and calculate the mole% of acetic acid in the solutions. Assume that the density of all solutions is 1.05g/ml. 14. Construct the boiling point-composition diagram of the binary liquid system acetic acid-water by plotting boiling point against composition in mole% acetic acid.

Experiment No. 2 STEAM DISTILLATION OBJECTIVE: To study the process of steam distillation. DISCUSSION: When, in a mixture of two liquids, the attraction between like molecules is greater than that between unlike molecules, the total vapour pressure is greater than that predicted by Raoults law. As this difference in attraction increases, a point will be reached where the two liquids will no longer miscible in all proportions; further increase will decrease the range of miscibility until, as a limiting case, the liquids can be considered to be completely immiscible in each other. The total vapour pressure over these systems will differ more and more from that predicted by Raoults law until, in the limiting case mentioned above, the vapour pressure will be equal to the sum of the vapour pressures of the two pure liquids at the same temperature and will be independent of the mole fraction of each liquid present. In this limiting case, the ratio of the partial pressures of the compounds in the vapour will be equal to the ratio of the vapour pressures of the pure compounds, at a temperature equal to the boiling point of the mixture. Thus,

=
and

where pA and pB are the vapour pressures of the pure compounds, p A and pB are the partial pressures of the compounds in the vapour, P is the total pressure, N A and NB are the mole fractions of the compounds in the vapour (or distillate)m nA and nB are the moles of the compounds in the vapour (or distillate), w A and wB are the weights of the compounds in the vapour (or distillate), and M A and MB are the molecular weights of the compounds. Steam distillation is found to be a useful method of distilling a liquid which is immiscible with water, has an appreciable vapour pressure between 80 and 100C., and would decompose if distilled directly from the mixture at the higher temperature required. Although toluene does not decompose, it fulfils the other requirements and will be used here because of experimental convenience.

MATERIALS: 250-mL distilling flask, 1-L round-bottom flask, condenser, thermometer, glass tubing, 50-mL graduated cylinder, adapter, toluene 1. Prepare a steam distillation set-up as in the figure below. Have the set-up approved by your instructor before proceeding with the experiment.

2. Place 50-mL of toluene in the distilling flask. Heat the steam generator using a large flame. When the water starts boiling lower the flame to a size just enough to continue boiling the water. 3. Discard the first 2-3 mL of distillate. Record the temperature before placing the receiver (50-mL graduated cylinder) under the adapter. 4. Continue the distillation and record the temperature when the total volume of distillate in the receiver has reached 5mL, 10mL, 15mL, 20mL, 25mL, 30mL, 35mL, 40mL, 45mL and 50 mL. Stop the distillation when 50mL of distillate has been collected. 5. Cool the distillate and allow the layers to separate completely. Read and record the volumes of the layers obtained. 6. From a handbook, secure data for the vapor pressure of toluene and water at 40C, 50C, 60C, 70C, 80C, 90C. Determine the vapor pressure of the mixture at given temperatures and plot the vapor pressures of toluene, water and the mixture on the same graphing paper. 7. From the graph obtained in step 6, determine the theoretical boiling point of the mixture. 8. Determine the theoretical composition of the distillate in mole % toluene and weight % toluene using the graph obtained from the previous step. Experiment No. 2

Experiment No. 3 SOLUBILITY DIAGRAM OF A PARTIALLY MISCIBLE LIQUID SYSTEM OBJECTIVE: To be able to prepare the solubility diagram of a partially miscible liquid system. DISCUSSION: In most cases, partially miscible liquids become more soluble in each other with increasing temperature until the critical solution temperature is reached, above which there is complete miscibility. In this experiment mixtures of known composition are heated until they dissolve completely. This is easily recognized by the disappearance of cloudiness due to two phases. A plot of composition vs. temperature shows the critical solution temperature. The phenol-water system readily gives satisfactory data. Since pure phenol is solid at room temperature and is messy to handle, an 80 percent by weight solution is used. This is dispensed from a burette, and

the weight is calculated from the volume and the density. Any solution of phenol is dangerous, so be careful. Avoid spilling and clean up immediately with large amounts of water. Never pipette by mouth. MATERIALS: 50-mL test tube, acid buret, iron stand, buret clamp, copper wire stirrer, thermometer, 600-mL beaker, tripod, burner, melted phenol PROCEDURE: 1. Prepare 80% phenol solution as follows: a. Weigh a clean and dry 100-mL graduated cylinder. b. Place about 20-mL of melted phenol in the cylinder and weigh. Record the weight of the phenol. c. By means of a buret, add distilled water equivalent to the weight of the phenol in the cylinder. (CAUTION: Phenol is corrosive. Avoid contact with your skin.)

2. Transfer all the phenol solution to a clean acid buret. 3. Deliver 10 mL of the phenol in the buret into a 50-mL test tube. Cover with a cork fitted with a thermometer and a copper wire stirrer. 4. By means of another buret, add distilled water to the phenol solution stirring continuously ring addition until the solution turns cloudy. Record the volume of the phenol solution. 5. Immerse the tube in a water bath (use a 600-mL beaker), then heat the water in the bath until the solution turns clear. Note the clearing temperature. (NOTE: The solution in the tube must be continuously stirred while doing this step.) 6. Remove the tube from the water bath and continuously stir the solution until the solution turns cloudy. Record the clouding temperature. 7. Deliver an additional 1.0 mL of water from the buret then repeat steps 5 and 6. 8. Repeat step 7 four (4) times. 9. Deliver 10.0 mL of distilled water from a buret into another ignition tube.

10. To the distilled water in the tube, add phenol solution from a buret while stirring constantly until the solution turns cloudy. 11. Treat the solution in the tube as in steps 5-8. 12. Record all data in the table. 13. Calculate the % by weight of pure phenol in all solutions obtained. The density of the 80% phenol solution is 1.05 g/mL.

Experiment No. 4 DISTRIBUTION OBJECTIVE: To determine the values of K and n in the distribution of acetic acid between water and diethyl ether. DISCUSSION: When a solute is added to a mixture of two miscible liquids and the system allowed to come to equilibrium at some given temperature, the following relationship will hold regardless of the quantity of solute added:

Ka= where Ka is the distribution constant, a1 and a2 are the activities of the solute in the two solvents, and n is the ratio of the average molecular weight in solvent 1 to its average molecular weight in solvent 2. Association will increase the average molecular weight, while dissociation will decrease it. It is to be noted that n may vary considerably with concentration due to changes in the degrees of association and dissociation. In order to simplify this experiment, concentrations will be substituted for activities in the above equation, so that the distribution equation becomes Kc= In this equation Kc may vary appreciably due to the change in activity coefficients with concentration. If, for any distribution system, the values of C 1 and C2 are obtained for two different total solute concentrations, both n and K can be calculated by solving the two equations for the two unknowns. In carrying out these calculations it may be convenient to take the logarithm of both sides of the above equation. The values of K and n obtained will be the average values for the two different concentrations in the calculations. MATERIALS: Glacial acetic acid, NaOH pellets, distilled water, phenolphthalein, Erlenmeyer flasks, base burette, iron stand, burette clamp, separatory funnel, iron ring, pipettes.

PROCEDURE: 1. Prepare by serial dilution 60 mL of each of the following starting from glacial acetic acid: 1.0 M, 0.50 M, and 0.25 M. (NOTE: to prepare solutions by serial distillation, prepare 120 mL of the 1.0 M solution from glacial acetic acid which is 17 M. Next, prepare 120mL of the solution from the 1.0 M solution. Finally, prepare 120 mL of the 0.25 M solution from 0.50 M solution.) Calculate the volumes of the acetic acid solution and water needed to prepare the desired solution. ) Prepare from NaOH pellets 0.50 M NaOH solution then prepare by distillation 200mL of 0.10 M NaOH solution.

2.

3. Pipet 25mL of the 1.0 M solution into a separatory funnel. Add 25mL of diethyl ether shake well and let stand for 10 minutes or until the layers are completely separated. 4. Draw the aqueous layer into a clean container then pipet 5.0mL into a clean 125-mL Erlenmeyer flask. Add 10mL of distilled water then titrate with 0.50 M NaOH to the phenolphthalein endpoint. Make 2 trials. 5. Pipet 10mL of the ether layer into 125-mL Erlenmeyer flask and add 10mL of distilled water. Titrate with 0.10 M NaOH to the phenolphthalein end point. Make 2 trials. 6. Repeat steps 3 to 5 using the 0.50 M and 0.25M acetic acid solution. Pipet 10mL of the aqueous solution for titration. 7. Calculate the concentration of the acetic acid in each solution. 8. Determine the values of K and n for the concentration used by the equation: K= Where; = concentration of the solute in the aqueous solution = concentration of the solute in the organic solvent n = ration of the average molecular weight of the solute in the solvent 1 to that in solvent 2 If the solute dissociates in aqueous solution, its average molecular weight in water decreases and n is greater than 1. If the solute associates in water solution, its average molecular weight in water increases and n is less than 1. 9. Record the results in the table.

Figure 1. Phase diagram of a ternary system with two immiscible liquids, A and B.

Above this dome only a single phase, hence complete miscibility exists. At a composition described by a point under this dome, the system will separate into two phases. The a and g positions in Figure 1 indicate that there is slight miscibility between components A and B. If no miscibility existed between components A and B, the a position would coincide with corner A and the g position with corner B. The diagram also indicates that it is the third component, C, that is really miscible with either A or B in all proportions. In such a phase diagram the tie lines have a very important aspect: they connect the concentration of the two phases experimentally found to be in equilibrium with each other. For instance, when a mixture with composition h (Fig. 1) is prepared, it separates into two phases. Phase one (rich in A and C, and poor in B) has the composition designated on the diagram by b. Phase two (rich in B and C, but poor in A) has a composition designated by point f. The quantitative ratio of the two phases is given by, Phase _ one fh Phase _ two bh and, therefore, once a phase diagram is available it can be used to determine the compositions and proportions of the phases that would result when a mixture of specified overall composition is prepared. You may notice that the dome in Figure 1 is not symmetrical and the tie lines are not parallel to each other. This is simply because the solubility of C in the two phases (A and B) is not the same. In whatever direction the tie lines are slanted, they connect points of equilibrium compositions. These equilibrium compositions, b vs. f and c vs. e, become increasingly similar with each subsequent tie line, starting from the base of the dome and proceeding upward. Similarly, the tie lines become shorter and finally converge to a composition. This is called isothermal critical point or the plait point.

Experiment 6 ADSORPTION OBJECTIVES: 1) To determine the saturation value for monomolecular coverage for the adsoprtion of acetic acid by activated charcoal 2) To determine the values of the constant k and n in the Freundlich equation. 3) To determine the values of the constant a and b in Langmuirs equation. DISCUSSION: Adsorption is a surface phenomenon. It consists of an interaction between the moving molecules of a liquid or gas phase and the relatively fixed molecules comprising a surface or interface. (In this discussion the term molecule will be used generically to include atoms and ions as well as molecules). The moving molecules become bound to the surface more or less strongly. Adsorption processes may be classified as physical or chemical. Another classification is reversible and irreversible, referring to the comparative ease of removal, desorption of the bound molecules. Generally, physical adsorption (physisorption) is reversible, while the chemical type (chemisorptions) is irreversible. The adsorbed molecules may come from a gas phase, a liquid or from a solution in a liquid. The adsorbing surface may be either liquid or solid. Adsorption from solution is usually monomolecular (monolayer coverage); i.e. adsorption ceases when the surface is completely covered with a layer of one molecular thick. Adsorbed layers more than one molecular thick have been proved to exist in certain cases as yet rare. The amount of adsorption varies with the concentration of the solution. There are two equations for this relationship for monomolecular adsorption. One is the empirical Freundlich equation: = KCn or log ( ) = log k + n log C

in which x/m is the weight of the absorbed material per gram of adsorbent and C is the concentration of the solution at equilibrium. The term k and n are constants to be evaluated from experimental data in each case.

in which x/m and C have the same significance as above, a is a constant proportional to the heat of adsorption and the temperature, and b is the amount of adsorption when the surface is covered with a monomolecular film. Langmuirs equation is based on the assumption that the solid surface is completely uniform. Deviations from the equation indicate lack of uniformity in the surface.

PROCEDURE: 1) Prepare 100 mL each of the following solutions by serial starting from glacial acetic acid(17 M): 1.0 M, 0.50 M, and 0.0625 M. 2) Measure 50 mL of the 1.0 M solution into a 125 mL Erlenmeyer flask, add 1.0 gram of accurately weighed activated charcoal, shake the mixture and allow to equilibriate for one hour. Agitate the mixture from time during the equilibriation process. 3) While equililbriation is taking place, pipet 5.0 mL of the original solution into a 250 mL Erlenmeyer flask and titrate with standard 1.0 M NaOH to the phenolpthalein end point. Calculate the original concentration of the solution from the titration data. 4) After equilibriation, filter off the activated carbon and titrate 5.0 mL of the filtrate with 0.1 M NaOH to the phenolphthalein end point. 5) Repeat steps 2 to 4 using the other solutions prepared in step 1. For the titration, use 10.0 mL for the last three soultions. 6) Calculate the equilibrium concentration (C2) and the specific adsorption (y) for each concentration.

7) Plot y versus C1 and determine the saturation value for monomolecular coverage. 8) Plot log y versus log C1 to determine the saturation value for monomolecular coverage. 9) Plot (C1/y) versus C1 to determine a and b in Langmuirs Equation.

Experiment 7 CHEMICAL EQUILIBRIUM OBJECTIVE: To be able to determine the equilibrium constant for the system: Fe3+ + CNS Yellow DISCUSSION: The word equilibrium suggests balance or stability. The fact that a chemical reaction occurs means that the system is not in equilibrium. The process will continue until the system reaches equilibrium. At this point, there is no observable change in the concentrations of reactants and products. While the reaction appears to stop, the reality is that reactants are being converted to products at the same rate that products are being converted to reactants. These principles can be illustrated with a generic reaction: aA + bB cC + dD If only A and B are present, the reaction will proceed to the right; if only C and D are present, the reaction will proceed to the left. In both cases, the reaction will apparently stop when equilibrium is reached.This state is characterized by a specific value for the equilibrium constant K, defined for this reaction by the following expression. colorless F eCNS2+ blood-red

K= Here the brackets signify the equilibrium concentrations (in M) of the various species. Note that the coefficients in the balanced equation appear as exponents in the equilibrium constant and that the products always appear in the numerator and the reactants in the denominator. The value of the equilibrium constant depends on the chemical reaction and on temperature. However, the value of K will not depend on the initial concentrations of reactants and products. Furthermore, the specific mathematical form of the equilibrium constant must correspond to the correct chemical equation for the reaction. If the equation is not correct for example, if the

formula of one or more of the species is wrong the value of K, even if calculated using accurate concentrations and making no numerical errors, will not be constant. 3+ In this experiment you will investigate the reaction of the Fe [iron(III), or ferric] ion with the SCN (thiocyanate) ion. The product of this reaction is a complex ion that imparts a red color to aqueous solution. You are asked to experimentally determine the formula for the complex ion and a numerical value for the equilibrium constant for the reaction in which it is formed. PROCEDURE: 1. Label 5 clean and dry test tube of identical size and make. 2. Prepare solutions of Fe(NO3)3 by serial dilution as follows: a.) Place 20 mL of 0.20 M Fe(NO3)3 in a 25-mL graduated cylinder. b.)

Transfer 8 mL of diluted solution into test tube 2. e.) Repeat procedures c and d until 5 different concentrations of Fe(NO3)3 are obtained.

3. Add 8 mL of 0.002 M KCNS to each diluted solutions from step 2.

4. Wrap each test tube with white paper.

5. By looking down into the solutions in the test tube, compare the color intensities of the solutions in test tubes 1 and 2. (The process may be aided by placing a mirror below the test tubes).

6. Adjust the height of the solution in test tube 1 by removing or adding some solution until the observed color intensities appear to be equal. Transfer the solution in test tube 1 to clean container with the aid of dropper.

Experiment 8 CHEMICAL KINETICS OBJECTIVES: 1. To determine the order of the reaction 2. To determine the activation energy of both uncatalyzed and catalyzed reactions. DISCUSSION: Chemical reactions occur at varying speeds with a vast spectrum of rates, ranging from very slow to extremely fast. For example, the rusting of iron is fairly slow, whereas the decomposition

of TNT proceeds explosively fast. Experiments have shown that the rate of a homogeneous reaction in solution depends upon the nature of the reactants, their concentrations, the temperature of the system, and the use of catalysts. Consider the hypothetical reaction: A+B C+D

The rate of this reaction may be measured by observing the rate of disappearance of the reactants A or B, or the rate of appearance of the products C or D. Which species is observed is a matter of convenience. For example if A, B, and C are colorless and D is colored, the rate of appearance of D can be conveniently measured by observing an increase in the intensity of the color of the solution as a function of time. Mathematically, the rate of reaction may be expressed as follows

Rate of disappearance of A =

=-

Rate of appearance of D =

In general, the rate of the reaction depends upon the concentration of one or more of the reactants. Thus, the rate of the hypothetical reaction above may be expressed as: Rate = k[A]x [B]y where [A] and [B] are the molar concentrations of A and B, x and y are the powers to which the respective concentrations must be raised to describe the rate, and k is the specific rate constant. The values of x and y must be determined experimentally. For example, if x = 2 and y = 1, then the rate law is: Rate = k[A]2 [B] The rate of reaction depends on concentration, temperatures, catalysts and inhibitors. MATERIALS: Zn metal, concentrated HCl, 1M Cu(NO3)2 solution, 30-mL test tubes, stopper fitted with rightangle delivery tube, water bath. PROCEDURE: A. Effect of Concentration

1. Prepare by serial dilution from concentrated HCl, 5M, 4M, 3M, 2M and 1M solutions. 2. Place 10-mL of 1M HCl in a clean and dry 30-mL ignition tube, add a piece of Zn metal and close with a stopper fitted with a right-angle and delivery tube. 3. Dip the tip of the delivery tube in a beaker of water and measure the time required for 30 bubbles to emerge from the tip of the delivery tube. 4. Change the ignition tube with a clean and dry one, place 10-mL of 2M HCl and add Zn. (You may use the unreacted Zn from the previous step after rinsing it well.). Repeat steps 2 and 3. 5. Do steps 2 and 3 using 3M, 4M and 5M HCl. 6. Formulate the rate law. Determine the values of k and n in the rate law. B. Effect of Temperature 1. Place 10-mL of 2M HCl in a clean, dry ignition tube and warm in a water bath until the temperature of the HCl solution reaches 40C. Remove the tube from the water bath, add a piece of Zn and fit the tube with the delivery tube. 2. Determine the time required for 30 bubbles to emerge from the tip of the delivery tube. 3.

Experiment 9 GALVANIC CELLS

OBJECTIVES: 1. To be able to assemble galvanic cells. 2. To be able to measure the potentials to test electrodes. 3. To be able to measure the potential of a galvanic cells.

DISCUSSION*: Oxidation and reduction reaction occur simultaneously side by side. A reduction reaction occurs only if an oxidation reaction occurs and vise versa. Electrons are given in oxidation while in reduction electrons are gained. Oxidizing agent is a chemical substance which has a large tendency to gain electrons, while reducing agent is a chemical substance causes other substances to be reduced and itself oxidized. Example for an oxidation-reduction reaction: 2Ag+(aq) + Cu(s) 2Ag(s) + Cu2+(aq)

We can see that Cu(s) converts to Cu2+ (Oxidation). While Ag+(aq) changes to Ag(s) (reduction). The oxidation-reduction reaction can be divided into two half reactions, one for oxidation and the other is reduction reaction: Cu(s) 2Ag+(aq) + 2eCu2+(aq) + 2e2Ag(s) (Oxidation) (Reduction)

The reduction equation is multiplied by 2 because the number of electrons given in the oxidation reaction must be equal to the number of electrons gained in the reduction reaction.

Notice, that pure silver is formed out of the solution of silver salt. Therefore, this process can be used to produce solid metals out of salts of the same metal. The above reaction is a general process of replacement. When an element, which is more reactive electrochemically, reacts with aqueous solution of salt of metal, which is more reactive electrochemically, displacement reaction will occur. Another Example: Zinc reacts with copper sulphate, because zinc is more reactive electrochemically than copper. Therefore, when a strip on zinc in placed in a copper sulphate solution, the strip is "solvated" in to solution according to the equation: CuSO4(aq) + Zn(s) Cu(s) + ZnSO4(aq) Also we can write this reaction into two half reactions Cu2+(aq) + 2e- Cu (s) Zn(s) Zn2+(aq) + 2e(reduction). (oxidation).

Other application of redox reactions is constructing electrochemical cells, which have two types: Galvanic cells: electrochemical cells in which redox reaction occurs spontaneously and in which chemical energy converts to electrical energy. Electrolytic cells: electrochemical cells which uses energy from other source to induce redox reactions and in which electrical energy converts into chemical energy.

Electrochemical cell composed of two electrodes each of them immersed in a certain electrolytic solution. Electricity can pass through the cell if 1. 2. Electrodes connected by a conductor (metal wire) Both electrolytic solutions must be connected by a way through which certain ions are allowed to pass from one solution to another.

The following figure shows a Galvanic cell in which a total redox reaction occurs.

In this system, an oxidation reaction occurs in beaker 1 where atoms of Zn moving out of the zinc electrode, leaving behind two electrons who travels along the metal wire towards the copper electrode. Therefore the anode becomes smaller as the redox reaction proceeds. In beaker 2, a reduction reaction occurs where ions of copper are attracted to the cathode, receive two electrons and precipitate on the electrode as copper atoms. Therefore the cathode becomes bigger as the redox reaction proceeds. The salt bridge enables SO42-(aq) to travel between the beakers and close the electric circuit and retain equilibrium of electric charges in the system. The redox reaction continues until the system reaches chemical equilibrium.

An electrochemical cell is written in the following way: Zn(s) | Zn2+(aq) || Cu2+ (aq) | Cu(s)
Anode is always written on the left side Cathode is always written on the right side

Represents the salt bridge

* http://www.sep.alquds.edu/ MATERIALS: Cu wire, Zn metal, Pb wire, graphite rod, Zn2+ solution, Pb2+ solution, SO42- solution, Fe2+ solution, Fe3+ solution, Cu2+ solution, KCl or KNO3, KmnO4, concentrated H2SO4.

PROCEDURE: A. Preparation of Cu/Cu2+ Reference electrode

1. Secure a 4-to 5-cm long glass pipet or dropper. Plug the tapered end of the pipet with a small ball of cotton pushed down the pipet with a stif wire. Make sure that the cotton is tightly packed and that it reaches up to the opening of the pipet. 2. Immerse the tip of the pipet in a beaker containing a saturated solution of KCL or KNO3 until the cotton is fully soaked. 3. Fill the pipet with 0.1 M CuSO4 solution using another pipet with a rubber bulb. 4. Get a metal rod with a ciameter smaller than the inner diameter of the pipet. Coil a copper wire around the rod leaving some portion uncoiled for the voltmeter leads. 5. Insert the coiled wire into the pipet. Plug the open portion of the pipet with modeling clay to fix theposition of the wire. This will also seal the tube and prevent the leakage of the copper sulfate solution.

Alternative Procedure A.

1. Secure a 4-to 5- inch long copper wire and dip into a beaker containing 0.1 M CuSO4 solution. Prepare a salt bridge as follows: Cut a piece of filter paper into a 1- cm wide, 8-to 10- cm long strip and dip into a saturated solution of KCl or KNO3. Use a fresh strip for a new solution. DO NOT USE THE STRIP WITH TWO DIFFERENT SOLUTIONS.

B. Determination of Electrode Potentials 1. Assemble the following test half-cells: a. Zn/Zn2+ electrode: Dip a piece of Zn metal strip (approximately 5 cm long, 1 cm wide) in a 50mL beaker containing 25 mL of 0.1 M ZnSO4. b. Pb/Pb2+ electrode: Dip a 10-cm long Pb wire in a 50-mL beaker containing 0.1 M Pb(NO3)2. c. C/Fe2+, Fe3+ electrode: Dip a graphite rod in a 50-mL beaker which contains 12.5 mL of 0.2 M Fe(NH4)2(SO4)2 and 12.5 mL of 0.2 M FeNH4(SO4)2. d. Pb/PbSO4(S), SO42- electrode: Dip a lead wire coated with PbSO 4 in a 50 mL beaker which contains 25 mL of 0.1 M k2SO4. ( To prepare the wire, dip a Pb wire in a solution of 6 M H 2SO4 until the wire becomes coated with PbSO4, a white powdery substance). 2. Set up a cell by coupling a Cu/Cu 2+ electrode with one of the assembled half-cells. If the reference electrode is that prepared by the first procedure, simply dip the electrode into the electrolyte of the test electrode. If the second type of Cu/Cu2+ electrode is used, connect the two solutions by dipping one end of the filter paper stip in the CuSO 4 solution and the other end in the electrolyt of the test electrode. 3. Measure the voltage of the cell by connecting the Cu/ Cu 2+ reference electrode to the positive (red) terminal of a digital voltmeter and the metal strip or wire or carbon rod of the test electode to the negative (black) terminal. 4. For the Cu/Cu2+ reference electrode (cathode), the reduction half-reaction and the corresponding potential is: Cu2+ + 2 eCu(S) = 0.34 volt

The measure potential of the cell is the difference in reduction potentials of the cathode (reference electrode) and the anode (test electrode). 5. Record your data on the table provided in the data sheet.

C. Electromotive Force of Galvanic Cells

1. Assemble the following cells by coupling two test electrodes. Connect the two test electrodes by dipping the ends of a salt bridge (filter paper stip soakeed with saturated KCl or KNO3) into solutions. Cell A: Zn/Zn2+ and Pb/Pb2+ electrodes Cell B: Zn/Zn2+ and C/Fe2+, Fe 3+ electrodes Cell C: Pb/Pb2+ and C/Fe2+, Fe3+ electrodes Cell D: Zn/Zn2+ and Pb/PbSO4(S), SO42-electrodes 2. Connect each electrode to the input terminals of the voltmeter and read the voltage. If a negative voltage is observed, interchange the terminal connections. Note the polarity of the electrodes. The cathode is the half-cell connected to the positive (red) terminal of the meter, and the anode is the half-cell connected to the negative (black) terminal. 3. Record the observed cell potentials: 4. Write the cell reactions and determine the theoretical electromotive force of each galvanic cell using values of electrode potentials from tables.

D. Variation of Electrode Potential with Electrolyte Concentration 1. Prepare several solutions containing varying concentrations of MnO4- and Mn2+ ions. By using a pipet, measure the following volumes of 0.02 M KmnO4 and 0.05 M Na2C2O4 solution into a 100-mL beaker and mix the resulting solution well. Mixture 1 2 3 4 mL of KmnO4 30 35 20 25 mL of Na2C2O4 5 10 15 20

2. Measure the reduction potential of each mixture using a Cu/Cu2+ reference electrode. 3. Determine the concentration of MnO4- and Mn2+ ions in each mixture. 4. Record the data in the table. 5. Plot cell versus log ([MnO4-]/Mn2+]). Determine the slope of the best straight line.

CONDUCTIMETRY

OBJECTIVES: 1. To be able to determine the relative mobilities of some ions in solution. 2. To be able to determine the variation of conductance with concentration of electrolytes. 3. To be able to determine the concentration of an electrolyte by conductance measurement.

DISCUSSION: As its name implies, conductimetry is concerned with the electrical conductivity of electrolytes. Measurements are made indirectly across the resistance of the solution with alternating current, since direct current would alter the composition of the sample solution by electrolysis. Experience has shown that for reasons related to the measuring technique (polarization phenomena) better results are obtained when the measuring frequency is adapted to the range of measurement. The conductivity of a solution depends on: The quantity of ions. The more ions a solution contains, the higher will be its conductivity. The kind of ions. The smaller and more mobile an ion, the better will be its electrical conductivity. Thus H3O+, OH-, K+ and Cl- ions all conduct very well. The solvent. The more polar the solvent, the better the ionisation of the solutes it contains. In relation to this, water is an ideal solvent, while methyl alcohol is also good. The temperature. Ionic mobility increases with rising temperature. According to the type of ion, the conductivity increases by 1-3% / C. In conductimetric titrations, the cell constant does not usually need to be known, since only the change in conductance during the titration is tracked. MATERIALS: Conductance apparatus (two graphite rods connected in series with a 9-V cell and a digital multimeter), buret, 0.1M HCl, 0.1 M NaOH, 0.1 M NaCl, 0.1M NH4C2H3O2.

PROCEDURE:

A. Determination of Relative Ionic Mobility 1. Place 20 mL of the following solutions in 50-mL beakers: a. 0.1 M HCl solution b. 0.1 M NaOH solution c. 0.1 M NaCl solution d. 0.1 M NH4Cl solution e. 0.1 M NaC2H3O2 solution

2. Measure the conductance of each solution by dipping the probes in the solution and reading from the multimeter the current flowing through the solution. (NOTE: Wash the probe with distilled water and dry with tissue paper before immersing it into the solution. 3. Tabulate in incrasing order of magnitude the current observed for the solutions containing the chloride ion. Determine from the results the relative mobility of the cations in the solutions. 4. Tabulate in increasing order of magnitude the current observed for the solutions containing the sodium ion. Determine from the results the relative mobility of the anions in the solutions.

B. Variation of conductance with Concentration

1. Prepare different concentrations of hydro chloric acid by measuring with a pipet the following volumes of liquid into 50-mL beakers:

Mixture 1 2 3 4 5

mL of 1 M HCl 5 10 15 10 25

mL of distilled water 20 15 10 15 0

2. Measure the conductance of each mixture. Calculate the concentration of HCl in the mixture and record the data in the table. 3. In the absence of extraneous effects, it is expected that the conductance of the electrolyte is directly proportional to the concentration of the electrolyte (that is, if the electrolyte concentration is doubled, the conductance of the solution should be doubled). Based on this premise and on the measured conductance of the most dilute solution, calculate the expected conductance of each mixture preapared in step 1. 4. Plot the concentration of HCl against the (a)measured conductance and (b) calculated conductance from step 3 on the same graphing paper. 5. Compare the curves obtained in step 4 and explain the difference between the observed and expected behavior.

C. Conductimetric Titration

1. Transfer 25.0 mL of the analyte into a 100-mL beaker, dip the probe in the solution and take the multimeter reading. 2. Slowly add 1 mL increments of the titrant from a buret mixing the reaction mixture well and recording the multimeter reading after each addition. Stop adding the titrant when the multimeter reading no longer shows appreciable change in slope. ( This would be when appoximately 35 mL of titrant has been added.) 3. Tabulate the meter readings and the total volume of titrant added.

4. Plot the meter reading against the total volume of titrant added. 5. Determine from the titration curve the volume of the titrant needed to reach the equivalence point. 6. Calculate the concentration of the analyte.
