PRE-LAB DISCUSSION

In many redox reactions, there is a complete transfer of electrons from the substance (being oxidised) to the substance (being reduced). If the electrons can be made to travel through an external conductor, during this transfer an electric current will be established in the conductor. In electrochemical cells, the two half reactions, oxidation and reduction reactions, are carried out in separate vessels, called

half cells. The two half cells are connected externally by metal wire attached to the two electrodes. In order to have a complete electrical circuit, electrons must be free to flow from one half cell to the other. This is made possible by connecting the solutions in the two half cells with a salt bridge. The complete system is called an electrochemical cell or simply a chemical cell.

PROCEDURE

Set up

Clean the Cu and Zn electrodes with emery paper to get shinning surface.

PRE-LAB DISCUSSION

Metals are coated with another metals to secure improved appearance or greater resistance to corrosion. This is called electroplating. According to this method, a metal object which serves as the cathode in a salt solution is covered

with another metal coating in the course of an electrolysis. The advantage of the method is that a permanent coating can be obtained.

PROCEDURE

Set-up

Figure

 

Clean the iron and copper electrodes with emery paper until they have continuous shining surface.

Wet a piece of cotton with benzene, then the electrodes with benzene.

Note: From now on, only touch the electrodes with the tweezers.

Put the iron electrode in the petri dish and add hydrochloric acid until the electrode is just covered.

After about one minute, turn the electrode around with the help of tweezers.

Note: Be sure that the surface of the iron electrode is completely treated by hydrochloric acid about one minute.

Hold the iron electrode with tweezers and put it onto the filter paper and let it to dry .

Place two spatulas of copper(II) sulphate into the 250 mL beaker. Add 50 mL distilled water and then add 50mL sulphuric acid.

Caution: Handle the acids with great care. They are corrosive.

Take the iron electrode with tweezers and rinse it with distilled water.

Assemble the apparatus as seen in the Figure.

Note: Connect the iron electrode to the negative pole of the power supply.

Procedure

1.Arrange the power supply to the 6 V then switch on it for ten minutes. Record your observations in “Observations and Data Tables”.

2.Switch off the power supply. Disconnect the iron electrode and rinse it with distilled water. Dry it with filter paper.

Organic compounds are compounds of carbon that contain either carbon-carbon bonds or carbon-hydrogen bonds or both. Thousands of carbon compounds are found in living organisms or have been produced by chemists, and about five million organic compounds have been characterised.

Organic compounds generally contain carbon, nitrogen and hydrogen in combination with a few other types of atoms, such as oxygen, sulphur, phosphorus and halogens.

Place another three test tubes in the test tube rack and number them from 1 to 3.

Put a half spatula of copper(II) oxide into each numbered test tube.

Then put

A half spatula of sugar in the Test tube 1

A half spatula of wood shavings in the Test tube 2

A half spatula of starch in the Test tube 3

Then put another a half spatula of copper(II) oxide on top of the organic material in the each numbered test tube.

Insert the short arm of the right-angled glass tube into the hole of the stopper.

Note: Lubricate the glass tube with glycerol before connecting with rubber stopper.

PRE-LAB DISCUSSION

Many organic compounds contain (basic) nitrogen. Nitrogen can be detected as ammonia when such substances are decomposed by strong bases. The ammonia can be recog-

nised by its smell and also by the colouration of an indicator such as litmus and the reaction with hydrochoric acid vapour.

PROCEDURE

Place three test tubes in the test tube rack and number them from 1 to 3.

Put a half spatula of urea in Test tube 1

Put a small tuft of hair in Test tube 2

Put a few dry bread crumbs in Test tube 3

Note: Substance should be well dried.

— Wear protective glasses.

Procedure

1.Add 5-6 drops of sodium hydroxide solution onto urea in the test tube 1. Then clamp the test tube on the support rod as seen in the Figure-2.

2.Moisten a red litmus paper with distilled water.

3.Heat the test tube 1 in the burner flame and hold the wet litmus paper at the mouth of the test tube as seen in the Figure-2. Record your observations in the Table in “Observations and Data Tables”.

Note: Do not inhale any evolved gas.

PRE-LAB DISCUSSION

Alkanes contain only single covalent bonds. All of the carbon atoms in an alkane have “sp3” hybridisation and are bonded to four other carbon or hydrogen atoms. The two most important natural sources of alkanes are petroleum and natural gas.

The simplest alkane is methane, (CH4). Methane molecule

has four equivalent carbon-hydrogen bonds arranged as tetrahedral. The carbon atom is joined to each hydrogen atom by a sigma ( ) bond. In methane, the “sp3” hybrid orbitals of carbon atom and “s” orbital of hydrogen atoms overlap to form four (sp3-s) CH sigma bonds.

PROCEDURE

Set up

Put an erlenmeyer flask on the wire gauze on the tripod as in the Figure.

Fill the two third of the crystallising dish with tap water.

Fill a test tube (or graduated cylinder) with tap water. Close the mouth of the tube with your thumb (or a piece of paper), then sink into the water in the crystallising dish. Open the mouth of the tube. Proceed the same process for another test tube. Clamp them on the support rod as in the Figure.

Connect the long arm of the right-angled glass tube to the delivery tube with tip by a piece of rubber tubing.

Note: Lubricate glass-rubber connections with glycerol before connection.

Weigh about 2 g of powdered sodium acetate and 4 g of soda lime. Put them in the erlenmeyer flask and mix well.

Note: If soda lime is not available, weigh 2 g sodium hydroxide and 2 g of dry calcium oxide.

Assemble the apparatus as in the Figure.

Wear protective glasses.

Procedure

1.Heat the erlenmeyer flask carefully until a gas evolution is seen. Then manage the flame of the burner as low as possible.

Caution: Do not heat the flask vigorously because the evolved gas is explosive.

2.Allow air to escape from apparatus first about 20 seconds, then slide the tip of the delivery tube under the mouth of the gas collecting test tube.

3.As soon as the gas collecting test tube is full of gas, slide the tip of the delivery tube to the mouth of other inverted tube.

4.Close the test tube containing gas with a rubber stopper and place it in the test tube rack.

Experiment – 63 How can methane be produced in laboratory?

5. When the second gas collecting test tube is full

of gas, close it with rubber stopper and place

 

 

it in the test tube rack.

 

6.Take the tip of the delivery tube out of the water, then immediately extinguish the flame of the burner.

7.Examine the collected gas and record your observations in “Observations and Data Tables”.

8.Hold the one of the test tubes containing gas then invert it. Remove the stopper and hold the mouth of the test tube at the burner flame. Record your observations in “Observations and Data Tables”.

9.Open the mouth of the second test tube and add 2-3 drops of dilute potassium permanganate solution, then close immediately. Record your observations in “Observations and Data Tables”.

Note: Air the room after experiment.
