Lab assessment Flashcards
(24 cards)
addition and subtraction sig figs
the decimal places have to be the same as the smallest dp
multiplication and division sig figs
the answer has to be in the amount with the least amount of sig figs
log sig figs
the significant figures are after the decimal
constant volume calorimeter
bomb calorimeter
constant pressure calorimeter
nested styrofoam cups
system in the nested coffee cups
the reaction
surroundings in the coffee cups calorimeter
solution, insulator and stir bar
the y-intercept of the temperature vs time graph represents
the final temperature of the reaction if it were to occur instantaneously
how to calculate experimental enthalpy
delta H = -q sol / n
(n = moles of limiting reactant)
(q sol is enthalpy change of solution)
how to calculate expected enthalpy
to products minus reactants with the sum of the enthalpies of formation
more concentrated solutions have
lower freezing points (harder to freeze)
steps to solve for molar mass
- plug in what you have
- if you don’t have molality, plug in everything else and solve for it
- set moles of solute = kg solvent x molality
- then divide grams of solute by the moles
- molar mass
non electrolytes vant hoff factor
i = 1
electrolytes vant hoff factors
i = number of ions
color spectrum values
- violet is the lowest (380-450)
-red is the highest (620-750)
ROYGBV
r- 130
o- 30
y-20
g-75
b-45
v-70
when you see a color what is happening
it’s reflecting the opposite region (draw color wheel the counter clockwise way)
we see what?
we see the complimentary color of what’s being absorbed. example If blue is being absorbed, we see orange. example if green is being absorbed we see red
lambda max
max absorbance
we used the calibration curve to solve for
molar absorbtivity (eb)
how to use M1V1=M2V2
m1= concentration of original solution
v1= volume of solution that’s taken out
m2= new concentration
v2= new volume after added (total volume)
calibration curve
a model that shows how a dependent variable varies across a range of standard solution.
never force trend line through
0,0
Absorbance corrected =
absorbance (max)- 750
