Answer #1

Ans. NOT closing the pinch clamp properly may have following effects-

I. While flask is cooled, the vapor condensed leading to reduction in the volume of vapor in flask. It creates a negative pressure. If the pinch clamp in NOT closed people, the negative pressure in flask would lead to inward suction of air.

II. Inward suction of air into flask would increase the mass of flask. It would thus give the abnormally high mass of the vapor present in the flask.

III. “Molar mass = Mass of vapor / n” . Since “mass of vapor” is abnormally high, the resultant molar mass of the compound/substance would be higher than the actual value.

A student was assigned the task of determining the identity of an unknown liquid. The student weighed a clean, dry 250-mL Erlenmeyer flask. The student completely filled the flask with water. He then proceeded to weigh the flask containing the water. Mass of 250-mL Erlenmeyer flask: 78.639 g Mass of 250-mL Erlenmeyer flask and water: 327.039 g Assuming the density of water is 1.00 g/mL at ambient temperature, what is the exact volume (in mL) of the 250-mL Erlenmeyer flask?...

A student observes that a 126 mL dry flask with a foil cup weighs 50.162 g. The student then adds 5 mL of an unknown volatile liquid and heats flask in a boiling water bath at 99.2 C Until all liquid disappears. The flask, foil, and unknown after heating that is dry and cool weigh 50.610 g. The barometric pressure in the laboratory is 743.3 mmHg; the laboratory temperature averages 22.3 C; the vapor pressure of the unknown liquid is...

1. A student drops an ice cube into an insulated flask full of water and waits for the ice cube to completely melt. The ice cube initially has a mass of 120 g and a temperature of 0°C. The water (before the ice cube is added) has a mass of 2.00 kg and an initial temperature of 75°C. What is the final temperature (in °C) of the mixture? (Assume no energy is lost to the walls of the flask, or...

Two students vigorously boil water in open flasks, one is a room on campus (flask 1) and one in a room at a ski lodge (flask 2). The flasks are identical but flask 2 contains more water. The rooms have the same temp(20 degree C). Air pressure is 750 mmHg on campus and 500mmHg at ski lodge. After several minutes of boiling, each student removes the flasks from the stove and seals it with a tight-fitting cover. Assume that the...

After a synthesis, a student obtains 1.0 g of crude and impure product. In an attempt to purify the crude material, the student dissolved the aforementioned 3.0 mg into the minimum amount of recrystallization solvent necessary at 25°C.   Next, the student cooled the flash containing the mixture in an ice-water bath for 15min while scraping the inside of the flask with a glass stir rod until no more crystal formation was observed. The solution was filtered, and the crystals were...

Chem Lab 101 Summarize what you observe when you disconnect the stopper from the flask after the flask has cooled. This is one of the questions for my Chem 101 Lab that I somehow missed. The experiment involved placing a rubber stopper over a 150 mL beaker with a pressure sensor fixed to a hole in the stopper. The flask was then placed in a beaker of boiling water and the water's heat source was turned off. After all measurements...

A tube leads from a 0.150 kg calorimeter to a flask in which water is boiling under atmospheric pressure. The calorimeter has specific heat capacity 420 J/(kg?K), and it originally contains 0.340 kg of water at 15.0 ?C. Steam is allowed to condense in the calorimeter at atmospheric pressure until the temperature of the calorimeter and contents reaches 71.0 ?C, at which point the total mass of the calorimeter and its contents is found to be 0.525 kg. Compute the...
