Objectives
1. 2. 3. 4. to observe the reaction between solutions of sodium carbonate and calcium chloride to discern the limiting and excess reactant to determine the theoretical mass of precipitate that should form to compare the actual mass with the theoretical mass of the precipitate and calculate the percent yield

var supplies = new Array( {name: Equipment, values: [ o 1 centigram balance, o 2 graduated cylinders (26 mL), o 1 beaker (250 mL), o 1 wash bottle, o 1 filtering apparatus (ring with stand, Erlenmeyer flask (250 mL), funnel), o Filter paper, o Lab apron, o Safety goggles]} {name: Chemical Reagents, values: [ o 0.70M sodium carbonate solution, Na2CO3, o 0.50M calcium chloride solution, CaCl2]});

Procedure
Part I: The Precipitation Reaction
1. Gather materials and prepare safety procedures. 2. Measure 25 mL of the Na2CO3 and CaCl2 solutions in separate graduated cylinders, and record these volumes in a copy of Experimental Results. 3. Pour the contents of both cylinders into the 250 mL beaker. Record the qualitative observations and allow the beaker to sit undisturbed for 5 minutes. 4. Weigh and record the mass of your filter paper, and set up a filter apparatus as shown in figure 6D-1 in Essential Experiments for Chemistry. 5. Using the wash bottle, lightly wet the filter paper in the funnel, swirl the beaker and pour it carefully through the filter. 6. Use the wash bottle to rinse the precipitate from the beaker and filter paper 7. After filtering is complete, remove the filter paper containing CaCO3 precipitate and place it on a folded paper towel. Put your filter paper in the assigned location to dry. 8. Clean up.

Part II: Weighing the Dried Precipitate

1. Weigh and record the mass of the dry filter paper containing the CaCO3 precipitate.

Part I: The Precipitation Reaction

Qualitative Observations Quantitative Observations Volume of 0.70M Na2CO3 Volume of 0.50M CaCl2

Part II: Weighing the Dried Precipitate

Mass of filter paper + dry solid CaCO3 Mass of filter paper Mass of dry solid CaCO3

Analysis
1. Copy the chemical equation for the reaction from the introduction and balance it. 2. From your Part I Results, calculate the moles of Na2CO3 that were added to the beaker. 3. From your Part I Results, calculate the moles of CaCl2 that were added to the beaker. 4. Use your answers from Analysis 1-3 above and stoichiometric principles to determine which chemical is the limiting reactant. 5. Use stoichiometric calculations to determine the theoretical mass of CaCO3 precipitate that should have formed. 6. From your Part II Results, calculate the actual mass of CaCO3(s) precipitate that formed. 7. Calculate the percent yield of CaCO3(s).
