2 Gram Lab Final

1. The purpose of the lab was to produce 2 grams of barium sulfate. 2. The hypothesis was that if 2.34 grams of barium nitrate reacts with 3.13 grams of sodium sulfate, 2 grams of barium sulfate would be produced. 3. The results showed a color change upon mixing, a temperature increase of 2 degrees C, and the production of 2 grams of barium sulfate, matching the hypothesis.

2 Gram Lab
Purpose: The purpose of this lab is to produce 2 grams Barium Sulfate.
Background:
Balanced Equation:

Safety hazards
Barium Nitrate
-Extremely hazardous if ingested
-Irritation to eye or skin contact
Magnesium Nitrate
-Irritation to eye or skin contact
-Prolonged exposure may result in burns to skin
Barium Sulfate
-Hazardous to eye or skin contact
Magnesium Sulfate
-Hazardous if ingested
-Hazardous to eye or skin contact

Hypothesis:
If 2.34 grams of Barium Nitrate reacts with 3.13 grams of Sodium Sulfate the
product produced will be 2 grams of Barium Sulfate

Procedure:

Materials:
Funnel
100 ml beaker (2)
250 ml Erlenmeyer flask
Stirring stick
Filter paper
Scrap paper
Balance
Barium Nitrate
Sodium Sulfate
Googles
Thermometer
Scoopula

Stoichiometry
Do on other computer

Figure out what chemicals are needed for this experiment


Calculate how many grams of each are chemicals needed for this experiment.
Place a scrap paper on the balance and zero the balance out.
Using the scoopula, scoop out how many grams of each substance needed.
Repeat steps 3-4 for other substance.
Barium NitrateSodium Sulfate 18 degrees
C18 degrees C

Poor the substances in separate 100 ml beakers.


Add distilled water until the substance(s) dissolves.
Stirring and heating may be needed to dissolve the substances
Once the substances are dissolved, use the thermometer to calculate the initial
tempeture of each of the substances.
10.
After recording the initial temperature, mix the two substances together.
11.
Use the thermometer right away to calculate the temperature.
12.
Subtract the initial temperature from the new temperature to get the temperature
change.
13.
Record any observations ( Color change, ect.).
14.
Weigh the filter paper.
15.
Fold the filter paper and put it in the funnel. Add water if needed.

16.
Place the funnel in an Erlenmeyer flask.
17.
At a constant pace, add the new substance into the filter.
18.
Once the substance is all filtered, leave it out for 24 hours.
19.
Weigh the filter paper with substance. Subtract the weight of the substance from
the filter paper.
20.
Clean up material(s) when experiment is completed.

Results:
Qualitative Data:
While doing the experiment, I noticed the substances changed in color. Both original
substances started out clear and after being mixed together they changed to a white
color. After the substances were mixed, I noticed there were chunks at the bottom of the
beaker, which is a result of a chemical change. Also there was a tempeture change of 2
degrees C.
Quantitative Data:
Initial tempeture:
Tempeture change:
20 degrees C final temperature
2 degrees C temperature change
Filter paper:
.07 grams
Filtered Substance:
2.07 grams with filter paper
2.07-.07= 2 grams

2 grams of Barium Sulfate

Calculation of % yield:
% yield= 2 g Barium Sulfate/ 2 g x 100 = 100%

Conclusion:
If 2.34 grams of Barium Nitrate reacts with 3.13 grams of Sodium Sulfate it will produce
2 grams of Barium Sulfate. This hypothesis was accepted in this experiment because
the product was 2 grams of Barium Sulfate. Sources of error in this experiment would be
if spilling were to occur or if the filtered substance were not to fully dry out.
