Ap Chem Experiment Procedures
Spectrophotometry
-
Beers law
-
Finding the relationship between Absorbance and concentration
-
(A = abc)
Gravimetric Analysis
-
Disolve compound in water
-
Heat to evaporate water, and make sure constant mass
-
Filter and dry to get just mass of the compound
-
Can find percent mass among other things with this
Titrations
-
Place an indicator around the pH of the equivalence point
-
Keep the analyte below the titrant and slowly add the titrant using a burette.
-
Note initial and final volumes
-
-
When color change occurs, stop titrating and note the final volume
-
Since at equivalence point, mols acid = mols base, use (M_{A}V_{A} = M_{B}V_{B}) to find the unknown molarity
Kinetics
-
Using Beers law, find the relationship between concentration and absorbance for the substance
-
Graph concentration vs time and get data points
-
Graph (\lbrack A\rbrack\ vs\ t,\ ln\lbrack A\rbrack\ vs\ t,\ and\ \frac{1}{\lbrack A\rbrack}\text{vs\ t})
-
Whichever is the most linear is the order of the reaction, 0th, 1st, or 2nd, respectively
Calorimetry
-
Measure mass of substance, mass of water, initial and final temperature of water
-
Use (q = mc\Delta T = \Delta H\ \bullet \ mols) to solve
