Study Notes
Liquid Separation Techniques
- Decantation separates a liquid from solids or another liquid by carefully pouring off the top layer.
- Use the meniscus, the curve at the surface of a liquid, for accurate volume readings; the upper meniscus is ideal for dark-colored liquids.
- Visual references for test tubes aid in estimating volumes: 2 mL fills approx. 1/5, 5 mL half, and 10 mL nearly full.
Operating a Bunsen Burner
- Essential apparatus includes a Bunsen burner and torch lighter.
- Ensure all components (gas outlet, adjustment knob, air holes) are closed before ignition.
- Ignite the burner after opening the gas valve and adjusting the gas knob halfway.
Precipitation Reactions
- Ferric hydroxide forms a precipitate when reacted with sodium hydroxide, while sodium chloride remains dissolved.
- The chemical reaction equation for ferric hydroxide formation: FeCl3 + 3NaOH → Fe(OH)3 + 3NaCl.
- Adding sodium hydroxide dropwise helps identify when no more precipitate forms.
Filtering Techniques
- Filter paper is folded to form a cone and moistened for better adherence in the funnel.
- Observations indicate completion of precipitation when additional sodium hydroxide yields no further solid.
- Decantation allows solid residue to settle for easy pouring off of the clear liquid.
Evaporation Methods
- Slowly evaporate liquid from a mixture to obtain solid residue; avoid overheating to prevent decomposition.
- Ensure complete evaporation by monitoring the absence of visible steam and observing the dry residue.
Solution Properties
- Polar substances have an uneven electrical charge due to differences in electronegativity.
- pOH can be calculated using the formula: pOH = -log[OH-].
Molarity Calculations
- Molarity after dilution can be found using: M2 = M1V1 / V2.
- Examples demonstrate how to find the new molarity of a sodium hydroxide solution after dilution.
pH and pOH Relationships
- Use the relation pH + pOH = 14 to find pH levels from known pOH values.
- Litmus paper can help determine whether a solution is acidic or basic, while indicators like methyl orange and alizarin yellow further assist in identifying concentrations.
