CP Chemistry Lab Manual
Below are links to the pages that are found in the lab manual haded out at the beginning of each semestar.First Quarter LabsHow to graph in ExcelLab SafetyLab TechniquesScientific Method - learn about/record observationsPreparing and reading a graph- learn/practice how to make a graph by hand and in ExcelChemical and Physical Changes - Discuss purpose and learn/practice how to summarize a procedureDetermination of Density - practice lab techniques and observations skills when determining density and learn how to write a conclusionSecond Quarter LabsSpecific Heat - learn/practice writing a conclusion and creating a finished lab report with all of the learned parts includedSample of a Density lab (it is missing a summarized procedure)Household Chemicals Lab - use quantitative observations to identify unknownsFormulas and Oxidation Numbers - practice balancing formulas using a visual deviceConservation of Matter - practice lab skills to verify the law of conservation of matterChemical Changes and Equations - use chemicals to predict and verify reaction typesDensity Lab Midterm - utilize all of the skills learned to date in lab class and present them in a written lab report for submission as the midterm lab projectChemical Reactions - use chemicals to predict and verify reaction typesThe Rice Experiment - use rice to perform mole calculationsHydrated Crystals Lab- practice developing a procedure and implementing changes to improve % errorThird Quarter LabsNuts and Bolts - use common items to simulate empirical compoundsMole Relationship in a Chemical Reaction - use chemical reactions to verify mole relationshipsStoichiometry of a Chemical Reaction - verify stoichiometric relationships utilizing chemical reactions in labStoichiometry of a chemical reaction directionsFlame Test - learn to use qualitative observations to identify uknownsPeriodic Trends - create visuals and graphs and use to predict and explain periodic trendsPolarity Lab- Use models to visualize VSEPR theoryIonic or Covalent? Utilize qualitative and quantitative techniques to determine the type of bonding in an unknown compoundFourth Quarter LabsMolecules and Energy - use Stearic Acid to collect data, graph results and use the graph to predict the melting and freezing temperatures.Heat of Fusion Lab Final - using all of the techniques learned to date, collect data, make improvements and graph results to verify the heat of fusion for water.Charles Law Lab - learn to extrapolate data to predict a value not collected in labMolar Volume of a gas - use chemical reactions to predict the molar volume of a gasRelative Solubility and Temperature lab - use data collected in lab to create solubility curves that can predict the solubility of certain salts at different temperatures.Ice Cream Lab - use the concepts of freezing point depression when making icecreamConcentration activity - use equipment and chemicals to create different types of solutionsHousehold Acids and bases - learn about indicators
