  1. TOOLS FOR THE LABORATORY

  2. SAFETY IN THE LABORATORY Working in a chemical laboratory requires that the individual be primarily responsible for his or her own safety. If you are not sure — ask for help. College of Charleston laboratory safety policy page http://www.cofc.edu/~chem/safety/safety.html

  3. LABORATORY NOTEBOOKS  Use a book with permanently bound pages. Spiral or comb bound books are not suitable for use in court. Make all entries with ink.  Write a brief outline of your lab procedure before you come to lab to increase your working efficiency, especially equations. Record notes from the pre-lab lecture, especially procedure modifications and sample calculations.  Record all observations in the notebook. Do not write numbers on loose paper. Take your notebook into the balance room.  All charts or computer printouts pertinent to the project should be permanently put in the notebook with your initials and date.  Make tables of the test data if possible.  Don't erase. Cross out errors and make a new entry. Entries should not be changed at a later date. Make a new entry, pointing out any change.  More information: http://www.snco.com/instruction.htm http://www.darbylaw.com/note.html http://chemlabs.uoregon.edu/Classes/Exton/Misc/reports.html

  4. LABORATORY BALANCES analytical balances ± 0.1 mg top-loading balances ± 0.01 to ± 0.001 g

  5. MASS SUBSTITUTION WEIGHING

  6. BOUYANCY CORRECTION Learn about this in p-chem

  7. BURETS Capacity Subdivision Tolerance Read mL mL ±mL ±mL 10 0.05 0.02 0.005 25 0.1 0.03 0.01 50 0.1 0.05 0.01 100 0.2 0.10 0.02 Class A read the bottom of the meniscus consistently at the top and bottom of the buret — measure volume by difference

  8. VOLUMETRIC PIPETS Capacity Tolerance ± mL ± mL 1 0.006 5 0.01 10 0.02 25 0.03 50 0.05 100 0.08 Class A always use a pipet bulb — never your mouth! try this tutorial http://antoine.fsu.umd.edu/cgi-bin/senese/tutorials/sigfig/IC.cgi TD means to deliver

  13. FILTRATION photomicrograph of glass fiber filter photomicrograph of controlled pore size track etched filter

  14. GLASSWARE CALIBRATION An empty weighing bottle had a mass of 10.283 g. After adding water from a 25 mL pipet, the mass was 35.225 g. If the lab temperature was 23 °C, what was the volume of water delivered by the pipet? TABLE 2-4 T °C mL/g 15 1.0020 16 1.0021 17 1.0023 18 1.0025 19 1.0027 20 1.0029 21 1.0031 22 1.0033 23 1.0035 24 1.0038 25 1.0040 value from Table 2-4

  15. GLASSWARE CALIBRATION What mass of water is required to be delivered at 15 °C from a 10 mL pipet so that the volume of the pipet is exactly 10.00 mL? value from Table 2-4

  16. SAMPLE DISSOLUTION  Increase surface area to increase reaction rate  Heat solution to increase reaction rate  Active metals dissolve in strong mineral acids: HCl, HNO3, HF, H3PO4, H2SO4 M(s) + n H+(aq) Mn+ (aq) + n/2 H2(g)  Form volatile products in dissolution CO32-(aq) + 2 H+(aq) H2CO3(aq) H2O(l) + CO2(g)  Form complex ions in dissolution Fe(s) Fe3+ (aq) + 6 CN- (aq) Fe(CN)63+ (aq)

  17. SAMPLE DISSOLUTION Fuse in muffle furnace to form a solid solution (flux) with eutectic electrolytes: LiCl, K2CO3, NaOH, Li2B4O7 Dissolve residue in dilute HNO3

  18. MICROWAVE DISSOLUTION chemical dissolution microwave oven vessel must have pressure relief capability inert microwave vessel assembly
