so from here we cleared a unit woo now we got 5 more units to cover so now is the time to pick up the pace people! Let's work hard in the future travels in chemistry!

This unit was finished today with a Test so hopes for the people who missed it come to Ms . K right away and ask for that test somehow!


LABS LABS LABS until we get into our heads as scientists we are hah! Better leave that to Ms. Kozoriz while we just do the experiments and the work included. Oh yeah next time let me get a scribe role where it isn't the test day people -_- dude this is like my second Test scribe once for physics now one for chem jeez what a coincidence huh? -_-

Oh well... luck of the draw.. =p

GAMBETE PEOPLE!! (gambete japanese for go for it! or work hard!)

next scribe is AngelaG *clap clap clap* (passes baton to her) "have fun!" ^o^

Where is the Next Blogger?

Okay, so since no one is blogging....

.....Titration Lab.....

Helooooooooo!!!!!

Today, we continue to answer the following questions on the titration lab booklet.

The purpose of this lab is to determine the unknown concentration of substances.

And last but not the least a short video about the titration......lab
CLICK HERE....
i guess i have nothing 2 say.



Well, DON't FORGET 2 answer the booklet it's due TOMORROW.

Titrtation Lab

Animated
Hello...

Okay, so what we did today (and also learned) Animated is the Titration Reaction (Lab. or Experiment...)

Titrations are procedures which are usually used to determine the unknown concentrations of substances . It is a common laboratory method of quantitative/chemical analysis that can be used to determine the unknown concentration of a known reactant. Because volume measurements play a key role in titration, it is also known as volumetric analysis. A reagent, called the titrant, of known concentration (a standard solution) and volume is used to react with a solution of the analyte, whose concentration is not known in advance. Using a calibrated burette to add the titrant, it is possible to determine the exact amount that has been consumed when the endpoint is reached. The endpoint is the point at which the titration is complete, as determined by an indicator.

THE EXPERIMENT Animated
Materials: 1-50mL beaker
3 Micropipettes
Phenolphthalein Indicator
10 mL Graduated Cylinder
Distilled Water
0.1 mol/L NaOH
0.1 mol/L H2SO4

Animated
Procedures:

1.) Using the Graduated Cylinder and a micropipette, count and record the number of dropd required to obtain 1.0 mL of distilled water. REPEAT the process 3 TIMES.

2.) Add 5 mL of Distilled water, and 1 drop of Phenolphthalein Indicator to the 50 mL beaker.

3.) Using a 2nd micropipette, add 20 drops of 0.1 mol/L H2SO4 to the beaker.

4.) Using the 3rd micropipette, add the 0.1 ml/L NaOH drop by drop until the addition of one drop permanently changes the colour of the solution. Recprd the number of drops required to reach the endpoint of tartration.

5.) Rinse the contents of the beaker.

Two Days Befor My Birthday!! a.k.a sep 16th :)

OK SO todayyyy we looked at page 7 in the YELLOW booklet thing.

Page 7:

What volume of a 0.250 ml/L solution of carbonic acid is needed to neutralize 30.0g of sodium hydroxide?
Q1: write the nutralization reaction
A1: H2CO3 (aq) + 2NaOH -> Na2CO3(aq) + 2H2O(s)
Q2: Determine the number of moles of base.
A2: 30g NaOH x (1mol NaOH/40g NaOH) = .75 mol NaOH
Q3: Calculate moles of H2CO3 Needed to neutralize the base.
A3: 1mol acid 2 mol base
.375 mol acid .75 mol base
Q4: Calculate the volume of H2CO3 required
A4: V=n/c = (.375 mol H2CO3)/(.250 mol H2CO3)
V=1.5 H2CO3(aq)

WE ALSO GOT a NEw booklet on Neutralization Reactions and did the questions on the back of the booklet :D

It was overall a productive day andd personally, i don't understand what we covered ... But its not too too bad .

OH!!! AND we had a lock down in effect and ppl were yelling i the halls and so on so that was kinda the most interesting peek of the class :)

scribe post

Hey guys,

ok so today in class we learned how to Write Ionic and Net Ionic Equations.

Q: why is a "total ionic equation"?
A: Because every spieces which breaks down into it's ions when dissolved in water has been written in ionic form.

Q: What is a "net ionic eaquation"?:
A: an equation that includes only those compounds and ions that undergo a chemical change in a reation which occurs in aqueous solution; shows the reaction that occurs, omitting the spectator ions.

Vocbaulary:

Spectator: ions found in solutions both before and after a chemical reaction; they "watch" the reaction occur.
Salt: a compound composed of the negative ion of an acid and the positive ion of the bases.

so off the sheet Ms. Kozoriz gave us today titled:

"Summary of Writing Total Ionic and Net Ionic Equations"

it shows the 7 steps in writing these equations. These steps are:

STEP 1: identify type of reaction and possible products.

STEP 2: look up solubility of both products.

STEP 3: Indicate states of reactants and products.

STEP 4: Write chemical equations for reaction.

STEP 5: balance the equation.

STEP 6: Write total ionic equation.

STEP 7: Write Net Ionic Equation.
(on that sheet we are given two different examples which follow these steps.)


WHAT IS NEUTRALIZATION?
Neutralization: a neutralization reaction is one whose products are a salt and a water.

aN equation such as:
ACID + BASE -----> SALT + WATER

CALCULATING AN UNKNOWN CONCENTRATION:
We would follow the 4 steps:

1) write the balanced neutralization reaction

2) calculate the number of moles of the solution. (stoichiometry)

3) calculate the moles of acid/base used.

4) calculate the concentration of the acid/base.

Using the formula:

concentration = n / v (moles / volume)

We can solve questions to determine the amount of acid of base needed to neutralize the solution:

** calculate the concentration of hydrochloric acid, if 25.00 mL is just neutralized by 40.00 mL of a 0.150 mol/L sodium hydroxide solution.



1) HCl(aq) + NaOH -----> H2O(l) + NaCL(aq)

2) (moles = c x v)
= 0.150 mol/L x 0.040L
= 0.006 mol NaOH

3) moles of HCl = moles of NaOH

4) (c = n / V)
= 25 mL x (1 L / 1000 mL) = 0.025 L
= 0.006 mol HCl / 0.025 L = 0.24 mol/L HCL


ok that's about it. i was working on the lab during class so i'm still reading over todays notes. so for anyone whose having problems if you don't get it try reading the notes it can be found in the yellow booklet (pages 4 - 6) and i believe i recall Ms. Kozoriz assigning page 7 for homework so just incase might wanna work on that!

the next scribe will be

SORRY

Well Hello Fellow Classmates.

SORRY for the late blog, something was wrong with my computer and my dad just fixed it =/
SOO thanks for waiting =)

First thing we did was we went over one of the homework pages.
Which was Reactions In Aqueous Solutions


Well on friday we did a lab called The Aqueous Lab
we had to make equations inorder to find out 4 solutions.
We also could try to find it out by mixing solutions together.

ANYWAYS, i dont know what else to write, but im pretty sure thats all we did on friday..
sorry once again for the late post! =)

Labs Are Fun.. When Something Happens

Hello everyone, my name's Nelsa, and I'm apologizing for the late/early post. I could sit here for fifteen or so minutes telling you all about the happenings of yesterday that prevented me from blogging.. but I won't because that's just not cool, and you guys probably don't care anyways.. SO. Moving on.

Yesterday, we had a lab where we had a whole bunch of chemicals that we mixed together. The point was to figure out which ones formed a precipitate. Most of them did not form a precipitate, sadly, but me and Angela were hopeful all the way, hahaha.

That was basically the whole class. We received some.. solubilty charts/tables/lists, whatever floats your boat, and I believe she told us that we'll be using them today. Hmm. Oh and also, buy your periodic tables for $0.50! They're so nice and colourful. =)

So that's it. I swear I make better posts than this, it's usually more thought out, but I'm rushing right now. NEXT TIME. Oh btw, *quick look at scribe list* next scribe shall be Christine. Hopefully you see this? =/

chem. 09/08/08

Today in chem. class we learned something new, aqueous reactions.
Most of today's lesson consists of precipitation reactions.
Ms. K showed us how ionic compounds when put into water, dissolve.
When you have a solution that involves a chemical change in color, heat, odor and gas forming are usually called precipitating reactions. ( double displacement reaction, when two aqueous solutions are mixed ) Chemical reactions are occurring
I think we went over a little bit on net ionic equations and spectator ions.
She also showed how the certain chemicals moving together.
I think it was lead and nitrate ions moving around in the beaker and when the iodide and potassium was added with the lead and nitrate ions, it first moved randomly all around. Then iodide and lead started to form a big cluster of ions. Once it got big enough, the particles started to sink to the bottom. This was the part where you can notice substances floating on the bottom.
Tomorrow we're all going to start on a lab assignment on developing solubility rules. It to see if certain chemicals create a precipitation reaction or not.
I think i can remember certain things being said in today's lesson. I know for sure that my last year chemistry teacher went over this because i have already did this lab before. ( if its the same one I'm thinking about)
Well that's all i can remember from today's class.
