...Experiment 13: Calcium Carbonate Analysis; Molar Volume of Carbon Dioxide Abstract: The goal of this experiment was to determine the percent calcium carbonate in a heterogeneous mixture and to determine the molar volume of carbon dioxide gas at 273 K and 760 torr. This is done by constructing a gas generator to collect the CO2 gas evolved from the reaction. The masses of the sample in the gas generator before and after the reaction are measured. The volume of CO2 gas is also collected and measured. As a result, we found that 25L of CO2 was collected, and after further calculations the molar volume turned out to be 13.28L which is very close to the estimated 22.4 L at STP. Introduction: In order to fully grasp the goal of this experiment certain terms need to be understood. Molar volume is the volume occupied by one mole of gas at a defined temperature and pressure condition. In this experiment the percent calcium carbonate in a heterogeneous mixture will be determined. A heterogeneous mixture is a non uniform mix of two or more substances often times in different phases. In this experiment the element Calcium carbonate is used, it is the most prevalent simple inorganic compound in the Earth’s crust. Its common name is limestone and is used for chalk, marble, shells of shellfish and caliche. Another term that is prevalent in this experiment is STP. STP is standard temperature and pressure which is 273K (0 C) and 1atm (760torr). At STP the molar volume of CO2 is 22.4L a...

...of the group project was to calculate the percent calcium in a natural calcium tablet from Prime Eastern Pharmaceuticals in order to compare it with the reported amount of 800 mg of calcium per tablet to determine the validity of complaints regarding a reduced amount of mineral in the multivitamin. The quantitative determination of the analyte was accomplished through three experiments: complexometric titrimetry, flame atomic absorption analysis, and potentiometry using an Ion Selective Electrode. The complexometric titrimetry involved titrating the unknown calcium solution made from the calcium tablet with standardized EDTA. Quantitative determination of the analyte calcium was possible due to the stable and quick formation of the metal-EDTA complex with a 1:1 reaction stoichiometry. Flame atomic absorption analysis is useful in determining the amount of analyte in an unknown because the measure absorbances of standard solutions can be used to plot a calibration curve that can be used to determine the concentration of the metal in an unknown solution. Potentiometry is useful for determination of analyte when an ion sensitive electrode is used to find the amount of ion in standard solutions. Week 1: Introduction and Background The first test for calcium in the multivitamin was complexometric titrimetry, a titration of a solution of calcium tablet with a standardized solution of EDTA. EDTA forms a stable complex with calcium metal with a reaction stoichiometry of 1:1, so an...

...CHAPTER 3 MASS RELATIONSHIPS IN CHEMICAL REACTIONS This chapter reviews the mole concept, balancing chemical equations, and stoichiometry. The topics covered in this chapter are: • Atomic mass and average atomic mass • A vogadro’ s number, mole, and molar mass • Percent composition calculations • Empirical and molecular formula determinations • Chemical equations, amount of reactant and product calculations • Limiting reagents and reaction yield calculations Take Note: It is absolutely essential that you master the mole concept to do well on the quantitative aspects of AP Chemistry!! When solving quantitative problems on the Free Response section of the AP exam, supporting work must be shown to receive credit. Using dimensional analysis is a very powerful technique in solving problems. Be sure to report your answer to the correct number of significant figures (see Chapter 1 in this review book). Atomic mass and average atomic mass Atomic mass is the mass of an atom in atomic mass units (amu). One amu is defined as 1/12 of one C-12 atom. The C-12 isotope has a mass of exactly 12.000 amu. The C-12 isotope provides the relative scale for the masses of the other elements. Average atomic mass is the value reported on the periodic table, which takes into account the various isotopes of an element and their respective frequencies. To calculate the average atomic mass of an element, add up the different masses of the isotopes (using amu) multiplied by each isotope’s abundance...

... Chapter 5—Gases 5.1: Substances That Exist as Gases Air: 78% N2, 21% O2, 1% Other (such as CO2) Ionic compounds do not exist as gases at 25 degrees Celsius as well as 1 atm (due to strong electrostatic forces holding cations/anions together in an ionic solid). The stronger the attractions (intermolecular forces), the less likely the compound can exist as a gas at ordinary temperatures. The characteristics of gases include: assuming the volume/shape of their containers, most compressible of the states of matter, will mix evenly/completely when confined in the same container, lower densities than liquids and solids. 5.2: Pressure of A Gas Gas molecules are constantly in motion, causing them to exert pressure with the surfaces they come in contact with. Pressure is known as the most readily measurable properties of a gas. SI Units of Pressure • Velocity is the change in distance with elapsed time. It uses the unit m/s or cm/s • Velocity = distance moved/elapsed time • Acceleration is the change in velocity with time. It uses the measurements of m/s2 or cm/s2 • Acceleration = change in velocity/elapsed time • Second law of motion is formulated by Newton and this law defines force as mass times acceleration. The SI unit for force is newton (N): 1 N equals 1 kg m/s2 • Pressure is the force applied per unit area. The SI unit for pressure is pascal (Pa): 1 Pa equals 1 N/m2 • Pressure = force/area Atmospheric Pressure • Air’s density decreases rapidly...

P. 3900 Kigali, Rwanda, E-mail: aparawira@yahoo.co.uk. Tel: +250785561670. Accepted 2 July, 2010 Biodiesel has attracted considerable attention during the past decade as a renewable, biodegradable and non-toxic fuel alternative to fossil fuels. Biodiesel can be obtained from vegetable oils (both edible and non-edible) and from animal fat. Jatropha curcas Linnaeus, a multipurpose plant, contains high amount of oil in its seeds which can be converted to biodiesel. J. curcas is probably the most highly promoted oilseed crop at present in the world. The availability and sustainability of sufficient supplies of less expensive feedstock in the form of vegetable oils, particularly J. curcas and efficient processing technology to biodiesel will be crucial determinants of delivering a competitive biodiesel. Oil contents, physicochemical properties, fatty acid composition of J. curcas reported in literature are provided in this review. The fuel properties of Jatropha biodiesel are comparable to those of fossil diesel and confirm to the American and European standards. The objective of this review is to give an update on the J. curcas...

...Answers to Conceptual Integrated Science End-of-Chapter Questions Chapter 1: About Science Answers to Chapter 1 Review Questions 1 The era of modern science in the 16th century was launched when Galileo Galilei revived the Copernican view of the heliocentric universe, using experiments to study nature’s behavior. 2 In Conceptual Integrated Science, we believe that focusing on math too early is a poor substitute forconcepts. 3 We mean that it must be capable of being proved wrong. 4 Nonscientific hypotheses may be perfectly reasonable; they are nonscientific only because they are not falsifiable—there is no test for possible wrongness. 5 Galileo showed the falseness of Aristotle’s claim with a single experiment—dropping heavy and lightobjects from the Leaning Tower of Pisa. 6 A scientific fact is something that competent observers can observe and agree to be true; a hypothesis is an explanation or answer that is capable of being proved wrong; a law is a hypothesis that has been tested over and over and not contradicted; a theory is a synthesis of facts and well-tested hypotheses. 7 In everyday speech, a theory is the same as a hypothesis—a statement that hasn’t been tested. 8 Theories grow stronger and more precise as they evolve to include new information. 9 The term supernatural literally means “above nature.” Science works within nature, not above it. 10 They rely on subjective personal experience and do not lead to testable hypotheses. They lie outside...
