Experiment 4: Preparation of Solutions

Objective: To prepare solutions using mass percent and molarity expressions.
Concepts: Solutions, solute, solvent, mass percent, molarity, weight percent, volume percent, parts per million, normality, parts per billion.
Procedure: Calculating and weighing the correct amount of solute and solvent, mixing until completely dissolved, and calculating the actual mass percent (m/m%) or molarity.

Experiment 7: Standardization of Sodium Thiosulfate Solution

Objective: To recognize oxidation-reduction titration and to prepare and standardize a thiosulfate solution.
Introduction: Titration is used for determining the concentration of an unknown solution through the slow addition of a known solution of the other reactant.
Types of solutions:
- Primary standard solutions maintain an accurate concentration. Ex: KIO₃, Na₂CO₃, KHP
- Secondary standard solutions do not necessarily have accurate initial concentrations. Ex: NaOH
Titration requirements:
- Stoichiometric reaction is crucial to accurately measure unknown solutions.
- Fast reaction with a clear endpoint to accurately find the unknown concentration.
- No side reactions complicate the quantification of the titrant.
Oxidation-reduction reactions: Oxidation/Reduction reactions are the type of reaction used in this redox titration. (OIL RIG)

Experiment 11: Standardization of Sodium Hydroxide Solution

Objective: To standardize a sodium hydroxide (NaOH) solution.
Introduction: Standard solutions have accurately known concentrations, used to determine the concentration of other solutions. This uses titration, a process where a known volume of one reagent is added to another until the reaction is complete.
Properties of appropriate standards:
- High Purity
- Stable
- Not hygroscopic
Acid-base reactions and indicators: These are significant in finding the end point, a clear indication that the reaction is complete.

Experiment 12: Volumetric Analysis of Vinegar

Objective: To determine the concentration of acetic acid in vinegar using molarity and mass percent.
Concepts:
- Vinegar is a solution containing acetic acid (CH₃COOH) in water
- Titration is used to find the unknown concentration of acid(CH₃COOH).
- Using standardized NaOH solution and a precise pH indicator, such as phenolphthalein

Experiment 10: Determining Molecular Mass of Solid from Freezing-point Depression

Objective: To determine the molecular mass of a solid substance using the freezing-point depression method.
Concepts: Colligative properties — properties of solutions that depend on the number of solute particles rather than their identity. This method utilizes the lowering of a solvent's freezing point when adding a solute.
Procedure: The procedure in the video describes a laboratory experiment where the substance being tested is first dissolved in a solvent and then measured. The change in freezing point is measured and used to calculate the molar mass.

Experiment 6: Limiting Reactant

Objective: To determine the limiting reactant in a precipitation reaction.
Introduction: Limiting reactant is the reactant that is completely used and determines how much product is formed. Excess reactants are those left over at the end of the reaction.
Chemical kinetics: The speeds of reactions can heavily influence the accuracy of identifying the limiting reactant, so understanding their kinetics could help determine its exact quantity.
Precipitation reactions: Reactants that create an insoluble product are carried out to determine the limiting reactant.

Experiment 4: Water of Hydration

Objective: To determine the moles of water of hydration in a crystalline compound.
Introduction: Hydrates are substances where water is chemically bound to an ionic compound.

Experiment 4: Determination of CaCO3 in Lime Stones

Objective: To determine the percentage of CaCO3 in limestone samples.
Introduction and Concepts: Limestone and dolomite are carbonate minerals; therefore, when looking for CaCO3, we consider the material as entirely CaCO3.
Back Titration: An indirect titration method involving a known excess of a reagent and its subsequent titration to determine the unknown's quantity. Used here because CaCO3 is a weak base against acid which makes finding the point of reaction very difficult.

Bleach Analysis (Experiment 8)

Objective: To determine the available chlorine concentration in a bleach solution.
Introduction and Concepts: Bleach is an oxidizing agent; therefore, the process of whitening or sterilization depends on the oxidation of agents such as NaOCl.
