Study Notes
Laboratory Equipment and Procedures
- An analytical balance is used to obtain precise amounts of substances.
- Glassware is used for quantitative transfer and solution preparation.
Volumetric Flask
- A standard piece of glassware in a chemistry lab.
- Used for creating solutions with high accuracy of concentration.
- Has a single calibration mark and a stopper for sealing.
Mass and Moles Conversions
- The relationship between mass and amount in moles is governed by molar mass.
- Molar mass is defined as the mass of 1 mole of a pure substance expressed in grams.
- Symbols and units: mass [g] = m, amount [mol] = n, molar mass [g/mol] = M.
Examples of Mass and Moles Conversions
- NaCl (table salt) has a molar mass of 58.44 g/mol.
- H₂O (water) has a molar mass of 18.02 g/mol.
Molar Concentration
- Concentration of a chemical substance or compound in a solution is often given in moles per liter, or mol/L.
- Molarity is represented by the symbol M and is calculated by dividing the amount in moles (n) by the volume in liters (V): M = n/V.
Other Laboratory Equipment
- Beaker: used for temporarily storing solutions or solvents.
- Blue-capped bottle: used for storing liquid solvents or solutions.
- Bulb pipette: used for transferring very precise volumes from one container to another.
- Measuring cylinder: used for transferring small amounts of liquids.
Micropipette
- Used for transferring small amounts (< 1 ml) of liquids.
- Identified by the number near the display window.
- Steps to follow when using the micropipette: select the volume, set the tip, and use appropriate tips.
Sample Questions and Exercises
- Examples of converting between mass and moles, and calculating molarity.
- Remember to always select the smallest size pipette and use appropriate tips.
Solution Preparation
- Involves preparing an aqueous solution of a given molarity from a water-soluble salt.
- Steps include determining the exact amount of salt needed, using an analytical balance, and preparing the solution using a volumetric flask.
