Overview
Welcome to Virtual ChemLab for Prentice Hall Chemistry, a set of realistic and sophisticated simulations covering topics in general chemistry. In these laboratories, students are put into a virtual environment where they are free to make the choices and decisions that they would confront in an actual laboratory setting and, in turn, experience the resulting consequences. These laboratories include simulations of inorganic qualitative analysis, fundamental experiments in quantum chemistry, gas properties, titration experiments, and calorimetry. This version of Virtual ChemLab is intended to be used in conjunction with the Prentice Hall Chemistry Virtual ChemLab Record Sheets, which contains 30 laboratory assignments covering the topics of stoichiometry, atomic theory, gas properties, thermodynamics, chemical properties, acid-base chemistry, and electrochemistry. Many of these virtual laboratory assignments can also be found as real assignments in the Student Editior or accompanying Laboratory Manual, but there are also a significant number of new assignments, such as Thomsons cathode ray tube experiment and the Millikan oil drop experiment, which will provide students the opportunity to perform experiments not previously available to them. The general features of the inorganic simulation include 26 cations that can be added to test tubes in any combination, 11 reagents that can be added to the test tubes in any sequence and any number of times, necessary laboratory manipulations, a lab book for recording results and observations, and a stockroom for creating test tubes with known mixtures, generating practice unknowns, or retrieving instructor assigned unknowns. The simulation uses over 2,500 actual pictures to show the results of reactions and over 220 videos to show the different flame tests. In all, there are in excess of 1016 possible outcomes for these simulations. The purpose of the quantum laboratory is to allow students to explore and better understand the foundational experiments that led to the development of quantum mechanics. Because of the very sophisticated nature of most of these experiments, the quantum laboratory is the most virtual of the Virtual ChemLab laboratory simulations. In general, the laboratory consists of an optics table where a source, sample, modifier, and detector combination can be placed to perform different experiments. These devices are located in the stockroom and can be taken out of the stockroom and placed in various locations on the optics table. The emphasis here is to teach students to probe a sample (e.g., a gas, metal foil, two-slit screen, etc.) with a source (e.g., a laser, electron gun, alpha-particle source, etc.) and detect the outcome with a specific detector (e.g., a phosphor screen, spectrometer, etc.). Heat, electric fields, or magnetic fields can also be applied to modify an aspect of the experiment. As in all Virtual ChemLab laboratories, the focus is to allow students the ability to explore and discover, in a safe and level-appropriate setting, the concepts that are important in the various areas of chemistry. The gas experiments included in the Virtual ChemLab simulated laboratory allow students to explore and better understand the behavior of ideal gases, real gases, and van der Waals gases (a model real gas). The gases laboratory contains four experiments each of which includes the four variables used to describe a gas: pressure (P), temperature (T), volume (V), and the number of

moles (n). The four experiments differ by allowing one of these variables to be the dependent variable while the others are independent. The four experiments include (1) V as a function of P, T, and n using a balloon to reflect the volume changes; (2) P as a function of V, T, and n using a motor driven piston; (3) T as a function of P, V, and n again using a motor driven piston; and (4) V as a function of P, T, and n but this time using a frictionless, massless piston to reflect volume changes and using weights to apply pressure. The gases that can be used in these experiments include an ideal gas; a van der Waals gas with parameters that can be changed to represent any real gas; real gases including N2, CO2, CH4, H2O, NH3, and He; and eight ideal gases with different molecular weights that can be added to the experiments to form gas mixtures. The virtual titration laboratory allows students to perform precise, quantitative titrations involving acid-base and electrochemical reactions. The available laboratory equipment consists of a 50 mL buret, 5, 10, and 25 mL pipets, graduated cylinders, beakers, a stir plate, a set of 8 acid-base indicators, a pH meter/voltmeter, a conductivity meter, and an analytical balance for weighing out solids. Acid-base titrations can be performed on any combination of mono-, di-, and tri-protic acids and mono-, di-, and tri-basic bases. The pH of these titrations can be monitored using a pH meter, an indicator, and a conductivity meter as a function of volume, and this data can be saved to an electronic lab book for later analysis. A smaller set of potentiometric titrations can also be performed. Systematic and random errors in the mass and volume measurements have been included in the simulation by introducing buoyancy errors in the mass weighings, volumetric errors in the glassware, and characteristic systematic and random errors in the pH/voltmeter and conductivity meter output. These errors can be ignored, which will produce results and errors typically found in high school-level laboratory work, or the buoyancy and volumetric errors can be measured and included in the calculations to produce results better than 0.1% in accuracy and reproducibility. The calorimetry laboratory provides students with three different calorimeters that allow them to measure various thermodynamic processes including heats of combustion, heats of solution, heats of reaction, the heat capacity, and the heat of fusion of ice. The calorimeters provided in the simulations are a classic coffee cup calorimeter, a dewar flask (a better version of a coffee cup), and a bomb calorimeter. The calorimetric method used in each calorimeter is based on measuring the temperature change associated with the different thermodynamic processes. Students can choose from a wide selection of organic materials to measure the heats of combustion; salts to measure the heats of solution; acids, bases, oxidants, and reductants for heats of reaction; metals and alloys for heat capacity measurements; and ice for a melting process. Temperature versus time data can be graphed during the measurements and saved to the electronic lab book for later analysis. Systematic and random errors in the mass and volume measurements have been included in the simulation by introducing buoyancy errors in the mass weighings, volumetric errors in the glassware, and characteristic systematic and random errors in the thermometer measurements.

Installing Virtual ChemLab


Locate and run the program Setup ChemLab (which is located in the appropriate operating system folderMac or Windows) on the CD-ROM drive then follow the prompts. The CD is not needed to run the program.

Important Installation Notes and Issues


1. The graphics used in the simulations require the monitor to be set to 24-bit true color (millions of colors). Lower color resolutions can be used, but the graphics will not be as sharp. 2. In the directory where Virtual ChemLab is installed, the user must always have read/write/erase privileges to that directory and all directories underneath. This condition is initially set by the installer, but this may have to be reset manually if the system crashes hard while running Virtual ChemLab. This is generally only a problem with the OSX operating system if multiple users login to the same OSX machine. This can also be a problem with advanced Windows operating systems if the user is not a Power User or higher. 3. When multiple users access the same installed software on a given computer, file ownership and read/write privileges becomes a serious issue since Virtual ChemLab shares some files among users to a certain degree depending on the installation. (a) In a direct access installation or when multiple users on a network drive share the database, all users must have complete read/write/erase privileges to the directory (and all directories underneath) where the database is stored. (b) In a web connectivity installation, either (i) the same computer login must be used for all ChemLab users (so file ownership is the same for all database files) or (ii) each user who creates a local ChemLab account (or new ChemLab user) must use the same computer login as when the account was created in order to maintain file ownership consistency. This will only be a problem with OSX machines and Windows operating systems using Restricted Users. 4. When using Virtual ChemLab under the Windows 2000 Professional or higher operating systems, users must be, at a minimum, a Power User in order for the program to have sufficient rights to run properly. The program will run as a Restricted User but the fonts will be incorrect along with other minor annoyances. In a server environment where a Restricted User is necessary, we suggest that a separate ChemLab Account be setup, which gives the user Power User Status but only gives the user access to the ChemLab software. This is a Macromedia Director limitation.

5. Occasionally on all Windows platforms, the Virtual ChemLab installer will fail to load and execute. This can be corrected by going to www.javasoft.com and downloading and then installing the most recent version of the java runtime software. The Virtual ChemLab installation software is a java based application. 6. QuickTime 5.0 or later is required for the software to run properly. The most recent version of QuickTime can be obtained at http://www.apple.com/quicktime/ 7. When the simulation software has been installed on a Windows 2000 Professional operating system, there is better performance and better system stability when the Windows 2000 Support Pack 2 has been installed. 8. For unknown reasons, on some machines the QuickTime videos will not play properly if the system QuickTime settings are in their default state. This can be corrected by changing the Video Settings in QuickTime to Normal Mode. 9. Printing in Virtual ChemLab does not work inside the OSX operating system. 10. There are occasional spontaneous shutdowns of the software in OSX. There are no known causes for this, but it appears to be a Macromedia Director issue.

4573_PH_CHEM_FM_ppi-iv 8/11/04 11:58 AM Page ix

Getting Started
Virtual ChemLab is launched by clicking on the VCL icon located on the desktop or in the Start Menu for Windows operating systems or on the Dock for the Macintosh OS X operating system. After the startup, students will be brought to a hallway containing three doors and a workbook sitting on a table. Clicking on the electronic workbook opens and zooms into the workbook pages where students can select preset assignments that correspond to the assignments in the Prentice Hall Chemistry Virtual ChemLab Record Sheets. The Previous and Next buttons are used to page through the set of assignments, and the different assignments can also be accessed by clicking on the section titles located on the left page of the workbook. Clicking on the Enter Laboratory button will allow the students to enter the general chemistry laboratory (see below), and the Exit button is used to leave Virtual ChemLab. From the hallway, students can also enter the general chemistry laboratory by clicking on the General Chemistry door. Once in the laboratory, students will find five different laboratory benches that represent the five different general chemistry laboratories. Rolling the mouse over each of these laboratory benches pops up the name of the selected laboratory. To access a specific laboratory, click on the appropriate laboratory bench. While in the general chemistry laboratory, the full functionality of the simulation is available, and students can explore and perform experiments as dictated by their instructors or by their own curiosity. The Exit signs in the general chemistry laboratory are used to return to the hallway. Detailed instructions on how to use each of the five laboratory simulations can be found in the user guides located in the Virtual ChemLab installation directory. These same user guides can also be accessed inside each laboratory by clicking on the Pull-Down TV and clicking on the Help button.

Lab 1: Flame Tests for Metals


Purpose
To observe and identify metallic ions using flame tests.
Flame Tests for Metals

Background
The characteristic yellow of a candle flame comes from the glow of burning carbon fragments. The carbon fragments are produced by the incomplete combustion reaction of the wick and candle wax. When elements, such as carbon, are heated to high temperatures, some of their electrons are excited to higher energy levels. When these excited electrons fall back to lower energy levels, they release excess energy in packages of light called photons, or light quanta. The color of the emitted light depends on its energy. Blue light is more energetic than red light, for example. When heated, each element emits a characteristic pattern of light energies, which is useful for identifying the element. The characteristic colors of light produced when substances are heated in the flame of a gas burner are the basis of flame tests for several elements. In this experiment, you will perform the flame tests used to identify several metallic elements.

Procedure
1. Start Virtual ChemLab and select Flame Tests for Metals from the list of assignments. The lab will open in the Inorganic laboratory.

4. When you return to the lab you should note that you have seven test tubes. You will use two of the buttons across the bottom, Flame and Flame w/ Cobalt (blue glass held in front of the flame.) A test tube must be moved from the blue test tube rack to the metal test tube stand in order to perform the flame test. You can drag a test tube from the blue rack to the metal test tube stand to switch places with a test tube in the metal test tube stand. Just above the periodic table there is a handle. Click on the handle to pull down the TV monitor. With the monitor down you can mouse-over each test tube and it will identify what metal ion the test tube contains. As you mouse over each test tube, you will also see a picture of what it contains in the lower left corner. One of your test tubes is labeled Practice and when you mouse over it, the TV monitor tells you it is an unknown. 5. Select the test tube containing Na and place it on the metal stand. Click the Flame button. Record your observations in the data table below. Click the Flame w/Cobalt button and record your observations in the same table. 6. Drag the K test tube to the metal stand to exchange it with the Na . Flame test K with and without cobalt glass. Record your observations in the table below. 7. For the other four ions, Flame test them only. Do not use cobalt glass. Record your observations in the table below.

Lab 4: Thomson Cathode Ray Tube Experiment


Purpose
To duplicate the Thomson cathode ray tube experiment and calculate from collected data the charge to mass ratio (q/me) of an electron.

Background
As scientists began to examine atoms, their first discovery was that they could extract negatively charged particles from atoms. They called these particles electrons. In order to understand the nature of these particles, they wanted to know how much charge they carried and how much they weighed. In 1897, John J. Thomson showed that if you could measure how much a beam of electrons were bent in an electric field and in a magnetic field, you could determine the charge to mass ratio (q/me) for the particles (electrons). Knowing the charge to mass ratio (q/me) and either the charge on the electron or the mass of the electron would allow you to calculate the other. Thomson could not obtain either in his cathode ray tube experiments and had to be satisfied with just the charge to mass ratio.

Procedure
1. Start Virtual ChemLab and select Thomson Cathode Ray Tube Experiment from the list of assignments. The lab will open in the Quantum laboratory.

Lab 5: Millikan Oil Drop Experiment


Purpose
If you want to know either the charge or the mass of an electron, you need to have a way of measuring one or the other independently. In 1909, Robert Millikan showed that he could make very small oil drops and deposit electrons on these drops (1 to 10 electrons per drop). He would then measure the total charge on the oil drops by deflecting the drops with an electric field. You will get a chance to repeat his experiments, and, using the results from Lab 4, be able to experimentally calculate the mass of an electron.

Millikan Oil Drop Experiment

Procedure
1. Start Virtual ChemLab and select Millikan Oil Drop Experiment from the list of assignments. The lab will open in the Quantum laboratory. 2. What source is used in this experiment? How does this source affect the oil droplets in the oil mist chamber? 3. The detector in this experiment is a video camera with a microscopic eyepiece attached to view the oil droplets. Click the On/Off switch (red/green light) to turn the video camera on. What do you observe on the video camera screen? What force causes the drops to fall? The oil drops fall at their terminal velocity, which is the maximum velocity possible due to frictional forces such as air resistance. The terminal velocity is a function of the radius of the drop. By measuring the terminal velocity (vt) of a droplet, the radius (r) can be calculated. Then the mass (m) of the drop can be calculated from its radius and the density of the oil. Knowing the mass of the oil droplet will allow you to calculate the charge (q) on the droplet. 4. Measure the terminal velocity of a drop. Select a small drop that is falling near the center scale and Click the Slow Motion button on the video camera window when the drop appears at the top of the window. Wait until the drop is at a tick mark and start the timer. Let the drop fall for at least two or more tick marks and stop the timer. Do not let the drop fall off the end of the viewing scope. Each tick mark is 0.125 mm. Record the distance and the time in the data table below.

5. Measure the voltage required to stop the fall of the drop. You now need to stop the fall of the drop by applying an electric field between the two voltage plates. Click on the buttons on the top or bottom of the Electric Field until the voltage is adjusted and the drop stops falling. This should be done while in slow motion. When the drop appears stopped, turn slow motion off and do some final adjustments until the drop has not moved for at least one minute. Record the voltage, V, indicated on the voltage controller.

You will find it easier to use the equation without units for your calculations. 7. Calculate the radius (r) of the drop and record the value.

where Q(n) is the number of electrons on the drop, e is the fundamental electric charge of an electron, m is the mass calculated in #9, and V is the voltage. This answer will provide the total charge on the drop (Qtot). The fundamental electric charge of an electron (e) is 1.6 10 19 C (coulombs).

Lab 6: Atomic Structure: Rutherfords Experiment


Purpose
To discover how the physical properties, such as size and shape, of an object can be measured by indirect means and to duplicate the gold foil experiment of Ernest Rutherford.

Background
A key experiment in understanding the nature of atomic structure was completed by Ernest Rutherford in 1911. He set up an experiment that directed a beam of alpha particles (helium nuclei) through a gold foil and then onto a detector screen. According to the plum pudding atomic model, scientists thought electrons floated around inside a cloud of positive charge. Based on this model, Rutherford expected that almost all the alpha particles should pass through the gold foil and not be deflected. A few of the alpha particles would experience a slight deflection due to the attraction to the negative electrons (alpha particles have a charge of 2). Imagine his surprise when a few alpha particles deflected at all angles, even nearly straight backwards. According to the plum pudding model there was nothing in the atom massive enough to deflect the alpha particles. About this he said . . . almost as incredible as if you fired a 15-inch shell at a piece of tissue paper and it came back and hit you. He suggested the experimental data could only be explained if the majority of the mass of an atom was concentrated in a small, positively charged central nucleus. This experiment provided the evidence needed to prove this nuclear model of the atom. In this experiment, you will make observations similar to those of Professor Rutherford.

Students often ask, Why did Rutherford use gold foil? The most common response is that gold is soft and malleable and can be made into very thin sheets of foil. There is another reason, which you can discover for yourself. 1. Turn off the phosphor detection screen. Double-click the base of the metal foil sample holder. It will move the holder to the stockroom window. Click on the Stockroom to enter. Click on the metal sample box on the top shelf. Click on Na to select sodium. Return to Lab. 2. Move the metal foil sample holder from the stockroom window back to the center spotlight. Turn on the phosphor detection screen. Click Persist. Observe the number of hits with sodium compared to the number of hits with a gold sample. Why would Rutherford choose gold foil instead of sodium foil? Explain.

Lab 8: Photoelectric Effect


Purpose
To duplicate photoelectric effect experiments.

Background
Though Albert Einstein is most famous for E mc2 and his work in describing relativity in mechanics, his Nobel Prize was for understanding a very simple experiment. It was long understood that if you directed light of a certain wavelength at a piece of metal, it would emit electrons. In classical theory, the energy of the light was thought to be based on its intensity and not its frequency. However, the results of the photoelectric effect contradicted classical theory. These inconsistencies led Einstein to suggest that we need to think of light as being comprised of particles (photons) and not just as waves. Each wavelength corresponds to another property of light called frequency. You will use the wavelength ( ) value in the experiment to c calculate the frequency ( ) given that n l where c 2.998 1017 nm/s (2.998 108 m/s). The energy (E) of a quantum of light an atom emits is related to its frequency (n) by E h where h (Plancks constant) 6.63 10 34J-s.

Lab 9: Diffraction Experiments


Background
It has long been known that if you shine light through narrow slits that are spaced at small intervals, the light will form a diffraction pattern. A diffraction pattern is a series of light and dark patterns caused by wave interference. The wave interference can be either constructive (light patterns) or destructive (dark patterns). In this experiment, you will shine a laser through a device with two slits where the spacing can be adjusted and investigate the patterns that will be made at a distance from the slits.

Lab 10: Electronic State Energy Levels


Purpose
To understand the origins of Quantum Theory by using a spectrometer to observe the emission spectrum of several gases.

Background
The classical picture of atoms would allow electrons to be at any energy level. According to this classical model, when electrons are excited and then fall back down to the ground state, they emit light at all wavelengths and the emission spectrum would be continuous. In the 1800s scientists found that when a sample of gas is excited by an alternating electric current, it emits light only at certain discrete wavelengths. This allowed for the development of spectroscopy, which is used in the identification and analysis of elements and compounds. Even though scientists found spectroscopy very useful, they could not explain why the spectrum was not continuous. The explanation of this was left to Niels Bohr, a Danish physicist. Bohr proposed that energy levels of electrons are not continuous but quantized. The electrons only exist in specific energy levels. Because of this quantization of energy, excited electrons can only fall to discrete energy levels. This assignment illustrates the measurements that helped Bohr develop his quantum model, now known as Quantum Theory. It also illustrates some practical uses for this science. Mercury vapor is used in fluorescent lights and sodium vapor in street lighting. You can separate the lines in the full region of an emission spectrum by using an optical prism or a diffraction grating. A spectrometer is an instrument designed to separate the emitted light into its component wavelengths and plots the intensity of the light as a function of wavelength.

The emitted light is not very bright for just the mercury vapor, but when scientists examined the full spectrum for mercury they saw what you observed and recorded. There is an enormous emission in the ultraviolet range (UV). This light is sometimes called black light. You may have seen it with glow-in-the-dark displays. Scientists coat the inside of the glass tube of fluorescent light tubes with a compound that will absorb UV and emit the energy as visible light with all the colors of the rainbow. All colors together create white light which is why fluorescent light tubes emit very white light. 3. Load the spectrum for sodium. What distinct feature do you see in the sodium spectrum? Astronomers are excited about cities changing from normal street lights to sodium vapor street lights because astronomers can easily filter out the peak at 589 nm and minimize light pollution.

Lab 11: Pressure-Volume Relationship for Gases


Purpose
Investigate the relationship between the pressure and volume of a gas.

Background
Robert Boyle studied the properties of gases in the 17th century. He noticed that gases behave similarly to springs; when compressed or expanded, they tend to spring back to their original volume. You will make observations similar to those of Robert Boyle. The purpose of this experiment is to learn about the relationship between pressure and volume of an ideal gas. In order to do this, you will change the pressure or volume while the other is kept constant, and then you will observe what happens.

Procedure
1. Start Virtual ChemLab and select Pressure-Volume Relationship for Gases from the list of assignments. The lab will open in the Gases laboratory. 2. Note that the cylinder contains an ideal gas with a molecular weight of 4 g/mol. There is 0.3 mol of gas at a temperature of 298 K, a pressure of 1 atm, and a volume of 7.336 L. To the left of the pressure meter is a lever that will decrease and increase the pressure as it is moved up or down; the digit is changed depending on how far the lever is moved. Digits may also be clicked directly to reach the desired number. You may want to practice adjusting the lever so that you can decrease and increase the pressure accurately. Make sure the moles, temperature, and pressure are returned to their original values before proceeding. 3. Click on the Lab Book to open it. If data from a previous student appears, delete it. Once back in the lab, click the Save button to start recording your data. Increase the pressure from 1 atm to 10 atm one atmosphere at a time. Click Stop. A blue data link will appear in the lab book. To keep track of your data links, enter Ideal Gas 1 next to the link. Reset the lab. 4. Zoom Out by clicking the green arrow next to the Save button. Click Return Tank on the gas cylinder. Click switch to change from Real Gases to Ideal Gases. Choose Ideal 8 (Ideal 8 MW 222 g/mol). Click on the balloon chamber to Zoom In. Set parameters to 0.3 mol of gas at a temperature of 298 K and a pressure of 1 atm (the volume should be 7.336 L). Repeat the experiment with this gas labeling the data link as Ideal Gas 8.

Lab 12: Temperature-Volume Relationship for Gases


Purpose
Investigate the relationship between the temperature and volume of a gas.

Background
Charles Law was discovered by Joseph Louis Gay-Lussac in 1802, based on unpublished work done by Jacques Charles in about 1787. Charles had found that a number of gases expand to the same extent over the same 80 degree temperature interval. You will be observing properties similar to those that Charles studied. The purpose of this experiment is to learn about the relationship between temperature and volume of an ideal gas. You will do this by keeping all variables constant except temperature and volume to observe what happens. According to the kinetic theory of gases, the average kinetic energy of the gas increases with the temperature. When gas is in a rigid container, the pressure (exerted by the gas on the walls of the container) increases as the temperature increases.

Procedure
1. Start Virtual ChemLab and select Temperature-Volume Relationship for Gases from the list of assignments. The lab will open in the Gases laboratory. 2. Note that you are using an Ideal gas with a molecular weight of 4 g/mol. There is 0.05 mol of gas at a temperature of 100C, a pressure of 1 atm, and a volume of 1.531 L. To the left of the temperature meter is a lever that will decrease and increase the temperature as it is moved up or down; the digit is changed depending on how far the lever is moved. Digits may also be clicked directly to type in the desired number, or they can be rounded by clicking on the R button. You may want to practice adjusting the lever so that you can decrease and increase the temperature accurately. Make sure the moles, temperature, and pressure are returned to their original values before proceeding. 3. Click on the Lab Book to open it. If data from a previous student appears, delete it. Once back in the lab, click the Save button to start recording your data. Increase the temperature from 100C to 1000C 100 degrees at a time. Click Stop. A blue data link will appear in the lab book. To help keep track of your data links, enter Ideal Gas 1 next to the link.

Lab 13: Derivation of the Ideal Gas Law


Purpose
Derivation of Ideal Gas Law

Derive the Ideal Gas Law from experimental procedures and determine the value of the Universal Gas Constant (R).

Background
An ideal gas is a hypothetical gas whose pressure, volume, and temperature follow the relationship PV nRT. No ideal gases actually exist, although all real gases behave similarly to ideal gases near room temperature and pressure. All gases can be described to some extent using the Ideal Gas Law, which is important in our understanding of how all gases behave. You will be deriving the Ideal Gas Law. The state of any gas can be described using the four variables: pressure (P), volume (V), temperature (T), and the number of moles of gas (n). Each experiment in the Gases Simulation allows three of these variables (the independent variables) to be manipulated or changed and then shows the effect on the remaining variable (the dependent variable).

Procedure
1. Start Virtual ChemLab and select Derivation of the Ideal Gas Law from the list of assignments. The lab will open in the Gases laboratory. 2. Use the balloon experiment to describe the relationship between pressure (P) and volume (V). Increase and decrease the pressure using the lever to the left of the pressure to determine the effect on volume. What can you conclude about the effect of pressure on volume? Write a mathematical relationship. 3. Use this same experiment to describe the relationship between temperature (T) and volume, by increasing and decreasing the temperature. What can you conclude about the effect of temperature on volume? Write a mathematical relationship. 4. Use this same experiment to describe the relationship between moles of gas and volume, by increasing and decreasing the number of moles (n). What can you conclude about the effect of moles on volume? Write a mathematical relationship.

5. Since volume is proportional to inverse pressure, temperature and moles we can combine these three proportions into one proportion showing V proportional to 1/P, T, and n. Write one combined proportion to show the relationship of volume to pressure, temperature and moles. 6. This proportional relationship can be converted into a mathematical equation by inserting a proportionality constant (R) into the numerator on the right side. Write this mathematical equation and rearrange with P on the left side with V. 7. This equation is known as the Ideal Gas Law. Using data for volume, temperature, pressure and moles from one gas apparatus experiment, L# calculate the value for R with the units K # atm . (Show all work and mol round to three significant digits). 8. Using the relationship between atmospheres and mm Hg of 1 atm 760 mm Hg, calculate the value for R with the units L # atm K # mol.

Lab 14: Ideal vs Real Gases


Purpose
Investigate how temperature and pressure changes affect ideal and real gases.

Background
In the Ideal Gas Law lab previously completed, you learned how to derive the Ideal Gas Law (PV nRT) from observations about the relationships between volume, temperature, pressure and moles. You calculated the value for the Universal Gas Constant (R) for an ideal gas. In this experiment you will also calculate the Universal Gas Constant (R), but with both ideal and real gases and at high and low temperatures and pressures.

Procedure
Ideal vs Real Gases

1. Start Virtual ChemLab and select Ideal vs Real Gases from the list of assignments. The lab will open in the Gases laboratory with Ideal Gas 1. 2. Click on the Units buttons to change the units to L or mL for volume, atm for pressure, and K for temperature. To change the value of pressure, temperature or moles, the lever to the left of each number can be used. The value will decrease and increase as the lever is moved up or down; the digit is changed depending on how far the lever is moved. Digits may also be clicked directly to reach the desired number. Clicking to the left of the farthest left digit will add the next place; for example, if you have 1.7 atm you can click left of the 1 and enter 2 to make it 21.7 atm or click left of the 2 and enter 5 to make it 521.7 atm. The small R button in the upper left corner rounds the number. Clicking several times will round from ones to tens to hundreds. The green arrow to the left of the Save button will Zoom Out. Clicking Return Tank on the gas cylinder will return the tank to the rack and allow you to select a different gas. Clicking the gas chamber will Zoom In to allow you to change parameters. Be careful not to make the balloon so large that it bursts. If it does, click the red Reset button in the top right and then reset your units and values for each parameter. Remember that volume must be in L. If mL appears, you must convert to L in your calculations.

Lab 15: Investigation of Gas Pressure and Mass


Purpose
Investigate the relationship between the internal pressure of a gas and the applied external pressure by placing weights on a frictionless, massless piston.

Background
An understanding of pressure is an integral part of our understanding of the behavior of gases. Pressure is defined as the force per unit area exerted by a gas or other medium. The pressure of a gas is affected by many variables, such as temperature, external pressure, volume, number of moles of a gas, and other factors. This experiment will help you to become more familiar with pressure.

Procedure
1. Start Virtual ChemLab and select Investigation of Gas Pressure and Mass from the list of assignments. The lab will open in the Gases laboratory. 2. To investigate the relationship between mass added to the piston to apply an external pressure, note that in this experiment Pint Pmass Pext, where Pint is the internal pressure or the pressure of the gas in the cylinder, Pmass is the pressure being exerted on the gas by adding weights to the piston, and Pext is the pressure being exerted on the piston by the gas in the chamber. 3. Click the green Piston button to move the piston into position. Record the force (in tons) and the internal pressure (in psi) in the Data Table. 4. Click on the tenths place for force and add 0.5 tons of force to the piston. Record the force and internal pressure in the table. Repeat this for 2.5 tons (the weight of a small car).

Lab 16: The Specific Heat of a Metal


Purpose
Determine the specific heat of a metal using a calorimeter.

Background
On a sunny day, the water in a swimming pool may warm up a degree or two while the concrete around the pool may become too hot to walk on with bare feet. This may seem strange since the water and concrete are being heated by the same sourcethe sun. This evidence suggests it takes more heat to raise the temperature of some substances than others, which is true. The amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 g of a substance by 1 degree K is called the specific heat capacity, or specific heat, of that substance. Water, for instance, has a specific heat of 4.18 J/K # g. This value is high in comparison with the specific heats for other materials, such as concrete or metals. In this experiment, you will use a simple calorimeter and your knowledge of the specific heat of water to determine the specific heat of several metals.

Procedure
1. Start Virtual ChemLab and select The Specific Heat of a Metal from the list of assignments. The lab will open in the Calorimetry laboratory. 2. Click on the Lab Book to open it. Record the mass of Pb on the balance. If it is too small to read click on the Balance area to zoom in, record the mass of Pb in the Data Table, and return to the laboratory. 3. Pick up the Pb sample from the balance pan and place the sample in the oven. Click the oven door to close. The oven is set to heat to 200C. 4. The calorimeter has been filled with 100 mL water. The density of water at 25C is 0.998 g/mL. Use the density of the water to determine the mass from the volume and record the volume and mass in the Data Table. Make certain the stirrer is On (you should be able to see the shaft rotating). Click the thermometer window to bring it to the front and click Save to begin recording data. Allow 2030 seconds to obtain a baseline temperature of the water. 5. Click on the Oven to open it. Drag the hot lead sample from the oven until it snaps into place above the calorimeter and drop it in. Click the thermometer and graph windows to bring them to the front again and observe the change in temperature in the graph window until it reaches a constant value and then wait an additional 2030 seconds. Click Stop in the temperature window. You can click on the Accelerate button on the clock to accelerate the time in the laboratory. A blue data link will appear in the lab book. Click the blue data link and record in the Data Table the temperature before adding the Pb and the highest temperature after adding the Pb.

Measure the heats of reaction for three related exothermic reactions and to verify Hesss law.

Background
Energy changes occur in all chemical reactions; energy is either absorbed or released. If energy is released in the form of heat, the reaction is called exothermic. If energy is absorbed, the reaction is called endothermic. In this experiment, you will measure the amount of heat released in these three related exothermic reactions: NaOH (s) S Na (aq) NaOH (s)

Lab 23: Identification of Cations in Solution


Purpose
Identify the ions in an unknown solution through the application of chemical tests.

Background
The process of determining the composition of a sample of matter by conducting a chemical test is called qualitative analysis. Solutions of unknown ions can be subjected to chemical tests and the results can be compared to the results given by known ions. By conducting the appropriate tests and applying logic, the identities of the ions present in an unknown solution can be determined. In this experiment, you will observe several types of chemical reactions commonly used as tests in qualitative analysis. These reactions include the color of a flame as the chemical is placed in the flame and the formation of a precipitate (solid).

Procedure
1. Start Virtual ChemLab and select Identification of Cations in Solution from the list of assignments. The lab will open in the Inorganic laboratory. 2. Enter the stockroom by clicking inside the Stockroom window. Once inside the stockroom, drag a test tube from the box and place it on the metal test tube stand. You can then click on a bottle of metal ion solution on the shelf to add it to the test tube. When you have added one metal ion, click Done to send the test tube back to the lab. Repeat this process with a new metal ion. Continue doing this until you have sent one test tube for each of the following metal ions to the lab: Na , K , and a Na /K mixture. Fill one test tube with just water by clicking on the bottle of distilled water. Now click on the Return to Lab arrow. 3. When you return to the lab you should note that you have four test tubes. Just above the periodic table there is a handle. Click on the handle to pull down the TV monitor. With the monitor down you can drag your cursor over each test tube to identify what metal ion the test tube contains, and you will see a picture of what it looks like in the lower left corner.

Lab 24: Qualitative Analysis


Purpose
Develop a systematic panel of chemical tests to identify an unknown solution of eight metal cations.

Background
In the Identification of Cations in Solution experiment, you learned how to identify eight metal cations in three groups. In this experiment you will complete a qualitative analysis scheme using the information learned in the previous experiment with an unknown solution containing one to eight of the ions.

Procedure
1. Start Virtual ChemLab and select Qualitative Analysis from the list of assignments. The lab will open in the Inorganic laboratory. 2. Click to enter the Stockroom. Create an unknown with Na , K , Ag , Hg22 , Pb2 , Co2 , Cr3 , and Cu2 . Set minimum 0 and maximum 8. This means that you could have only water or any number of the ions up to all eight. Click Save. Move the Practice Unknown to the metal stand and Return to Lab. 3. Move the test tube to the metal stand and click the Divide button three times. Move the three new test tubes to the right end of the blue rack. These three tubes are duplicates of your unknown. If you make a mistake and need to begin again, you can use one of these. Before you use the last one make additional duplicates. 4. From your experience in the previous lab, you know how to analyze the three different groups: flame tests, insoluble chlorides, and selected transition metals. Now that all three groups are combined you will still analyze the unknown as three separate groups. First, flame test for Na and/or K . Remember, neither may be present and one of the other six ions will have a unique flame test that you have not seen before. Second, test for the insoluble chlorides. If you obtain a precipitate when adding NaCl then Centrifuge and Decant. The decant will contain the third group. Third, complete the analysis on the transition metals. 5. Report your results in the Lab Book and check to see if you correctly identified the presence or absence of each of the eight cations.

Lab 25: Study of Acid-Base Titrations


Purpose
Study of Acid-Base Titrations

Observe the changes that occur during the titration of a strong acid and strong base.

Background
Titrations provide a method of quantitatively measuring the concentration of an unknown solution. In an acid-base titration, this is done by delivering a titrant of known concentration to an analyte of known volume. (The concentration of an unknown titrant can also be determined by titration with an analyte of known concentration and volume.) Titration curves (graphs of volume vs. pH) have characteristic shapes. By comparison, the graph can be used to determine the strength or weakness of an acid or base. The equivalence point of the titration, or the point where the analyte has been completely consumed by the titrant, is identified by the point where the pH changes rapidly over a small volume of titrant delivery. There is a steep incline or decline at this point of the titration curve. In this assignment, you will observe this titration curve by titrating the strong acid HCl with the strong base NaOH.

Procedure
1. Start Virtual ChemLab and select Study of Acid-Base Titrations from the list of assignments. The lab will open in the Titration laboratory. 2. Click the Lab Book to open it; if other students have left data links highlight and delete them. 3. The buret will be filled with NaOH. The horizontal position of the orange handle is off for the stopcock. Click the Save button in the Buret Zoom View window. Open the stopcock by pulling down on the orange handle. The vertical position delivers solution the fastest with three intermediate rates in between. Turn the stopcock to one of the fastest positions. Observe the titration curve. When the volume reaches 35 mL, double-click the stopcock to stop the titration. Click Stop in the Buret Zoom View. A blue data link will be created in the lab book, click on it to view the data.

Lab 26: Acid-Base Titrations


Purpose
Standardize a NaOH solution and measure the molarity of an unknown acetic acid solution by titration with standardized NaOH.

Background
Titrations provide a method of quantitatively measuring the concentration of an unknown solution. In an acid-base titration, this is done by delivering a titrant of known concentration to an analyte of known volume. (The concentration of an unknown titrant can also be determined by titration with an analyte of known concentration and volume.) Titration curves (graphs of volume vs. pH) have characteristic shapes. By comparison, the graph can be used to determine the strength or weakness of an acid or base. The equivalence point of the titration, or where the analyte has been completely consumed by the titrant, is identified as the point where the pH changes rapidly over a small volume of titrant delivery. There is a steep incline or decline at this point of the titration curve. In this assignment, you will determine the molarity of an unknown solution of NaOH by using a primary standard, potassium hydrogen phthalate (KHP). You will then use a standardized solution of NaOH to determine the molarity of an unknown solution of acetic acid.

Molecular Weight Determination by AcidBase Titration

Purpose
Determine the molecular weight of a solid acid by titration methods.

Background
Titrations provide a method of measuring the concentration of an unknown solution. In an acid-base titration, a titrant of known concentration is added to an analyte of known volume. (The concentration of an unknown titrant can also be determined by titration with an analyte of known concentration and volume.) Titration curves (graphs of volume vs. pH) have characteristic shapes. The graph can be used to determine the strength or weakness of an acid or base. The equivalence point of the titration, where the analyte has been completely consumed by the titrant, is identified as the point where the pH changes rapidly over a small volume of titrant delivery. There is a steep incline or decline in the titration curve at this point of the titration curve. In this assignment, you will determine the molecular weight of an unknown acid powder by weighing the solid to determine the mass and titrating to determine the moles of acid.

Lab 30: Redox Titrations: Determination of Iron


Purpose
Determine the percent composition of iron in a sample using an oxidationreduction titration with potassium permanganate.

Background
Titrations provide a method of quantitatively measuring the concentration of an unknown solution. In an acid-base titration, this is done by delivering a titrant of known concentration to an analyte of known volume. (The concentration of an unknown titrant can also be determined by titration with an analyte of known concentration and volume.) Reduction-oxidation (redox) titrations can also be used to measure concentrations. In redox titrations, voltages of the mixture of an oxidant and reductant can also be measured as the titration proceeds. All titration curves have characteristic shapes. The equivalence point of the titration, or the point where the analyte has been completely consumed by the titrant, is identified by the point where the voltage changes rapidly over a small volume of titrant delivered. There is a steep incline or decline at this point of the titration curve. In this assignment, you will observe this titration curve by titrating KMnO4 with FeCl2.
