PROCEDURE
(1) 0.2 g Fe
filings 0.2 g mothballs
(ground)
0.2 g tables
salt
Mix
Add 2 strips Mg
ribbon and a pinch
of food coloring
Scatter mixture on
a piece of paper
Pass a magnet
underneath
the paper
Save the
separated
components
(2) Place mixture
(from 1) in a 50
ml beaker
Add 30 mL of
water
Heat gently until
solids deposit on the
walls of the funnel Filter
mixture
Put a piece of perforated
filter paper on top of evap.
dish containing the residue;
place inverted funnel w/
cotton in its tip on the filter
paper
Save the filtrate
(mixture in flask);
transfer residue to
evaporating dish
Save deposit on
funnel and residue
on evap. dish
(3) Boil the filtrate then add
pinch of activated
charcoal
Continue boiling
until mixture is
about 20 mL
Filter the mixture and save
filtrate in test tube.
Which substance was
separated?
(4)
Add 1 mL hexane. What is the color of the hexane
layer? The aqueous layer?
To 2 mL filtrate from
#3b, add a crystal of
iodine and shake well
Separate the two layers using
medicine dropper. What method of separation is employed
here? What properties of the mixture must
be considered in this method of
separation?
Evaporate aqueous
layer to dryness Identify the residue.
Evaporate hexane
layer slowly (in a
hood). Identify the
residue.
(1) Place small amounts of Fe,
Mg, iodine and mothballs
(from part A) in separate
test tubes
Observe for evolution of gas. Test the
gas with a glowing splinter.
Which is/are metallic? Nonmetallic?
Add 10 drops of 0.1
M HCl. Cover w/
stopper immediately
(2)
Place the ash in a test
tube, add 5 mL water and
shake the test tube
Heat a piece of Mg
ribbon directly over
blue flame until it
burns
Test for
acidity/alkalinity of
solution using litmus
paper
(3) (to be performed in a hood)
Thrust tip of glass
rod over blue flame
for 1 minute
Shake test tube and
test
alkalinity/acidity of
solution
Add 1 mL
water
Collect the fumes
in a test tube and
stopper with cork
Dip heated tip into
powdered sulfur placed
on watch glass
(1) a b c
Heat test tubes with
low flame and
observe if there are
visible results
Cool test tube
and examine
upper portion of
the walls of test
tube
Place a pinch of Fe,
mothballs, food
coloring and table salt
in separate 20 mL test
tubes
What type of
change has taken
place? What are the
experimental
evidences for this
type of change?
Recall
procedure 2
and 3 of
Part B.
(2)
Record your
observation
What type of
change took
place?
Add 10 drops
of 0.1 M HCl
to each
Place small piece of Fe
and Mg in 2 separate
test tube
(3)
Record your
observation
What type of
change took
place?
Add 10 drops of
FeCl3to each
Place small piece of Fe
and Mg in 2 separate
test tube
(4)
Add a piece of
red litmus
paper.
Evaporate to
dryness
Place all of the
filtrate saved from
experiment A in an
evap. dish
RESULTS
(1) Fe filings were separated from the mixture
-- this is because Fe filings are metallic
(2) The residue filtered were mothballs.
(3) At first, activated charcoal was suspended
in the liquid. It settled at the bottom of the
beaker after a while.
(4)
b. Color of hexane layer was clear pink. The aqueous layer was clear yellow.
c. Solvent-extraction was used to separate the 2 layers. The property of the two liquids to be considered when using this process is that they should be immiscible to each other.
d. Residue:
e. Residue:
1. Bubble formation was observed in Mg and Fe.
Mothballs and iodine were non-metallic while
Fe and Mg were metallic.
2. The Mg ribbon was basic since the red litmus
paper turned blue
3. The heated rod went into fire when contact was
made with sulfur. The flame on the rod, when
placed in the test tube was put out and yellow
fumes were collected. When added with water,
the solution was found to be acidic.
(1) a. After heating:
- iodine was liquefied and turned violet in color.
Small crystals appeared on the walls of test tube.
- mothballs liquefied and turned orange; moisture
and white spots appeared on the test tube wall
-in the test tube with Fe, orange precipitates
formed on the upper walls of the test tube.
- there were no visible reactions in the test tube
containing table salt
b. Spots of the substance formed on the upper
wall of test tube.
Physical reaction occurred.
c. Re part B, procedure 2: Chemical reaction
occurred, one indication is the solution
becoming basic.
Part B, procedure 3: Chemical reaction took
place; mixture became acidic.
(2) Bubbles were formed indicating chemical
change in Fe upon addition of HCl. The
formation of bubbles in Mg were faster,
meaning the reaction rate was faster in Mg.
(3) In Fe, bubbles were formed. In Mg ribbon,
the mixture turned yellow then to and
bubbles formed.
(4) Basic; red litmus paper turned to blue
