This lab introduced many new tools to us. A lot of them we never used before and we had to be taught to use them in the proper manner. The tools used in this lab are:

Ø Sodium Carbonate (about ½ teaspoon)

Ø Water, Paper Towels, Paper and pencil to record results

There were 3 new items introduced during the process of this lab:

Theoretical Yield is a calculated value for the amount of the substance that should be made after the reaction. We calculate this by using a conversation with mole ratios and molecular mass.

Actual Yield is the amount of substance that is made after a reaction. You measure this amount after the entire reaction/experiment is complete.

Percent Yield is the actual yield divided by the theoretical yield. Then, as in finding any percent, it is multiplied by 100. [(AY / TY) * 100]. This is to determine how accurately the lab w

To make this experiment better the only suggestion I have is to make sure we have enough time to complete it instead of wait over night. This time it just ran a little bit long and we couldn’t complete it in the allotted time. Other than that point I believe everything else was carried out very well and my lab was fairly accurate.

1 105.98g Na2CO3 1 mole Na2CO3 1 mole NaCl

The purpose of this lab was to determine the amount of salt made when sodium carbonate is reacted with hydrochloric acid. It was also a good way to introduce 3 new terms and how to apply them to real life projects.
