Purpose: To use the mole concept in the lab Materials: Small beakers, eye droppers, teaspoon, graduated cylinder, and the balance. Chemicals: Sulfur powder, aluminum foil of various sizes, copper wire, magnesium wire, powdered carbon, sodium chloride, sucrose For the following problems: A. Write a brief description of your procedure B. Collect data, keeping in mind your use of significant digits in measurement C. Use conversion factors to solve the problems
PROBLEMS: 1. Determine the number of atoms present in a level teaspoon of aluminum powder A. 1) Measure grams of aluminum powder (measure beaker, measure beaker and aluminum, subtract beaker) 2) Convert to moles 3) Convert to atoms
Beaker and powder (g): 36.932 g Powder (g): 4.782 g C. To find grams of aluminium powder: 36.932g - 32.150g = 4.782g To find atoms from grams:
Concluding Statement: There are 1.067x10^23 atoms of aluminium in 4.782 grams of aluminium. 2. Determine how many level teaspoons of iron are needed to find 1.00 mol of iron powder A. 1) Find grams in one mole of iron 2) Measure the mass of one teaspoon of iron powder 3) Divide grams of one mole of iron by mass of one teaspoon (to find teaspoons in one mole)
B.
Mass of beaker: 29.082 g Mass of beaker and 1 teaspoon of powder: 39.463g (calculation below) Mass of powder: 10.381g/teaspoon
Concluding Statement: There are 5.3797 teaspoons of iron (Fe) is equal to 1.00 mol of iron powder.
