00:00:06
hello my name is Jose Rosales and for
00:00:09
today's experiment we're gonna going to
00:00:11
be measuring measuring the molecular
00:00:13
weights of an unknown by its freezing
00:00:15
point depression so first we have to
00:00:18
define what a solution consists of so a
00:00:21
solution consists of two things it
00:00:23
consists of the solute and a solvent so
00:00:27
an example of a solute in a solvent is
00:00:30
basically salt and water
00:00:32
so sometimes solutions can have
00:00:34
different properties one of the two
00:00:36
properties is for example freezing point
00:00:38
depression another property is the
00:00:40
boiling point elevation
00:00:41
today we're going going to be measuring
00:00:44
the freezing point depression of a
00:00:46
solute to solve for its molecular
00:00:48
weights and taking into account that
00:00:50
we're going to be freezing as a
00:00:53
particular type of compound which is
00:00:54
water and we have to note that the
00:00:58
freezing temperature of water is when
00:01:00
the solid and the liquid are basically
00:01:03
are in equilibrium with each other so
00:01:05
coming from this from the freezing point
00:01:07
of water now you actually you guys are
00:01:10
actually gonna make a graph of how water
00:01:12
is affected through by basically
00:01:14
decreasing the temperature over a
00:01:16
certain amount of time so in this graph
00:01:18
it shows the decrease in temperature
00:01:21
over time and you notice that there is a
00:01:23
dip in the graph which basically
00:01:25
corresponds to its super cooling effect
00:01:28
super cooling effect is basically
00:01:30
tholian water and it depicts that as you
00:01:34
decrease the temperature of your
00:01:36
solution and you go beyond or under it's
00:01:39
freezing points basically still stays as
00:01:42
a liquid however once it starts to
00:01:45
crystallize or return it to a solid
00:01:47
that's when it reaches it's freezing
00:01:49
points notice that the freezing point of
00:01:52
water is exactly zero degrees Celsius as
00:01:55
demonstrated on the chart
00:01:58
the next step is to basically first
00:02:01
solve for the freezing point depression
00:02:03
of your solution so the way to calculate
00:02:07
for that is that first we have to find
00:02:09
the freezing point of pure solvent water
00:02:13
so the way we do that is that uh we're
00:02:16
going to be doing an experiment where we
00:02:18
freeze water up into a points and then
00:02:20
we're going to measure it as freezing
00:02:22
points and then to get the freezing
00:02:25
point depression of the actual solution
00:02:28
we have to subtract that value minus the
00:02:30
freezing point of the actual solution so
00:02:33
after we solve for the freezing point
00:02:35
depression we will basically plug it
00:02:37
into another equation that basically
00:02:40
creates or solves for the freezing point
00:02:43
depression so freezing point depression
00:02:45
is equal to the molality times the
00:02:48
freezing point depression constant of
00:02:50
water times the vant Hoff factor or I
00:02:54
solutes so in order for us to solve for
00:02:58
this we have to define each value that
00:03:00
is inside the equation so to define what
00:03:04
molality is first we have to consider
00:03:07
what molality is so basically molality
00:03:10
is a unit of measurement where it
00:03:13
includes the moles of the solid solute
00:03:15
and the kilograms of the solvents or you
00:03:19
would have to do to solve for molarity
00:03:20
is divide the values of the moles of the
00:03:24
solute by the kilograms of the solvents
00:03:27
for the freezing point depression
00:03:29
constant of water it is it is a constant
00:03:32
and the value of it is one point eight
00:03:35
five three degrees Celsius per Mille L
00:03:38
so now next we had to define the vant
00:03:40
Hoff factor which is I so the vant Hoff
00:03:43
factor or I is basically equal to the
00:03:46
number of ions of found in your solution
00:03:49
say for example you dissolve sodium
00:03:52
chloride in water so sodium chloride
00:03:54
with dissolve in water and produce two
00:03:56
ions one ion of sodium and another ion
00:04:00
of chloride so basically the vant Hoff
00:04:03
factor there would be equal to two
00:04:05
next if we were to put another salt in
00:04:09
there say for example calcium chloride
00:04:11
that would produce three ions in
00:04:14
solution because remember that calcium
00:04:16
chloride dissolves into calcium ions and
00:04:19
two chloride ions calcium has a having a
00:04:22
positive two charge and chloride having
00:04:25
a minus one charge so therefore you
00:04:27
would have to have two chloride ions to
00:04:30
balance out the equation so therefore
00:04:33
you the vant Hoff factor of calcium
00:04:35
chloride would be three in this
00:04:39
experiment we're going to be measuring
00:04:41
the vant Hoff factor or the freezing
00:04:43
point suppression of us of a non
00:04:46
ionizable salt solutes which is for
00:04:49
example glucose since glucose dissolves
00:04:52
in water but does not produce ions the
00:04:55
vant Hoff factor that will be equal to
00:04:57
what and in the midst of all that once
00:05:01
you solve for each one of the components
00:05:03
of the equation you have to rearrange
00:05:05
the equation to basically solve for
00:05:08
molarity first because to measure or to
00:05:11
figure out or to determine the molecular
00:05:14
weight of an unknown compound you will
00:05:16
first have to figure out how many moles
00:05:19
are in solution and then figure out how
00:05:22
many grams of the solvent that you have
00:05:25
so basically we go back to the finding
00:05:28
well molality is remember that molality
00:05:30
is the moles of the solute divided by
00:05:32
the kilograms of the solvent so if we
00:05:35
rearrange the equation we can basically
00:05:37
define moles of the solute as to be
00:05:41
equal to the molarity times the
00:05:44
kilograms of the solvent once we figure
00:05:47
out the moles of the solutes
00:05:50
we can then plug it in to the molecular
00:05:52
weights equation so before we start the
00:05:56
experiments make sure to wear your
00:05:58
safety equipment at all times
00:06:00
for example safety gloves a lab coat
00:06:03
safety glasses and remember to always
00:06:06
wear closed toed shoes and cover up your
00:06:10
ankles wearing long pants and for people
00:06:13
who have long hair
00:06:14
please remember to tie your hair back
00:06:17
so these are the materials that we're
00:06:19
going to use for today's experiment
00:06:20
we're going to be using the micro lab
00:06:22
hardware we're also going to be using
00:06:24
the thermistor to measure the
00:06:25
temperature we're going to be using the
00:06:28
Styrofoam cup to conceal the temperature
00:06:30
inside with the ice and water we're also
00:06:33
gonna be using these propylene tubes to
00:06:35
measure the temperature of the water
00:06:36
inside the test tube to see the change
00:06:39
in temperature also gonna be using the
00:06:42
unknown which you have it always caps
00:06:45
before you use it we're also going to be
00:06:47
using the salts to keep the freezing
00:06:49
points of the solution below zero so we
00:06:52
can measure it afterwards to create the
00:06:54
super cooling graph so to start the
00:06:58
experiments of first we have to get a
00:07:00
batch of ice with water so after we get
00:07:03
the batch of ice with water we're going
00:07:05
to dump it into this Styrofoam cup after
00:07:11
adding the ice to the Styrofoam cup
00:07:13
we're going to be adding salts
00:07:19
and remember the salt is to keep the
00:07:21
freezing points of water or to reach the
00:07:24
freezing point of water and below it as
00:07:27
well so make sure to mix the solution
00:07:31
very well so once you've done your salts
00:07:38
of an ice water solution you would have
00:07:41
to first fill a test tube of up to 12 mo
00:07:46
litres of water and that's to put inside
00:07:49
your Styrofoam cup because after that
00:07:52
we're going to be measuring the
00:07:54
temperature change of the water inside
00:07:58
them too and how it drops according to
00:08:02
how much ice and water with the salt was
00:08:07
in it so basically we're gonna be doing
00:08:10
that and then afterwards to basically bc
00:08:14
or it gets the molecular weights of your
00:08:16
known first you have to measure how much
00:08:18
of your known you placed inside your
00:08:22
test tube before before hands you have
00:08:27
to get a weighing scale look at the
00:08:30
Wayne Skylar basically have to tear the
00:08:34
weighing scale with the test tube inside
00:08:36
and then afterwards you would have to
00:08:39
place about 0.5 grams or 500 milligrams
00:08:45
unknown solid
00:08:49
we'll add you place it inside this tomb
00:08:56
and then you measure approximately 500
00:09:00
milligrams and now you're ready for the
00:09:02
next step of experiments so this part of
00:09:06
experiments is going to consist of
00:09:08
setting up here of micro lab software
00:09:10
system and as well as measuring that
00:09:12
cool experiment itself so first off in
00:09:15
the computer you have to open up the
00:09:17
micro level icon after up you the open
00:09:22
up the micro lab icon you have to click
00:09:24
on micro lab experiments so after that
00:09:29
of this graph shows two data sources so
00:09:33
basically you have to add two sensors in
00:09:36
order to depict the transition of
00:09:39
lowering the temperature over time
00:09:41
basically first you have to input your
00:09:47
thermistor in the micro lab components
00:09:50
so basically you can choose any ports
00:09:52
but in my preference put it in part a
00:09:55
because with the thermistor you're going
00:09:57
to be measuring the change in
00:09:59
temperature inside the little test tube
00:10:02
there so after you placed your
00:10:07
thermistor in the apparatus you would
00:10:10
have to add that sensor to the breath so
00:10:14
you click on add sensor on the left-hand
00:10:18
side and then this window pops up so
00:10:22
first you have to choose your sensor so
00:10:25
remember that we're measuring
00:10:27
temperatures so are you gonna click on
00:10:29
is the thermistor and then you're going
00:10:33
to choose an input since I put it in
00:10:36
slot a I would select a and then uh
00:10:40
reports or reports the value of the
00:10:43
temperature and that slots
00:10:46
and then you're gonna click on use
00:10:48
factory calibration because these
00:10:50
machines already come calibrated so once
00:10:54
we already put in the thermistor sensor
00:10:57
or the temperature sensor the next thing
00:10:58
we have to add is the time sensitive so
00:11:01
click on add sensor one more time and
00:11:05
then this time you're going to use a
00:11:08
different sensor time center and then it
00:11:13
shows these three little slots you don't
00:11:15
have to have put anything there all you
00:11:17
all you would have to do is just click
00:11:19
on one of them perfectly it was one and
00:11:23
then you're going to set and options so
00:11:27
in here you can do an automatic
00:11:29
operation or a program control with the
00:11:32
keyboard or we're just going to use the
00:11:35
automatic operation and then the units
00:11:38
or the timer is going to be set in
00:11:40
seconds so then you click on finish and
00:11:44
now you have your temperature sensor as
00:11:47
well as your time sensor so after that
00:11:51
happy after you added the sensors you
00:11:53
would have to click and drag to the
00:11:55
chart so they can display the values a
00:11:58
record the values as time goes on so
00:12:02
this is the chart that's going to be
00:12:05
demonstrating the change of temperature
00:12:08
over time and as well you can click and
00:12:11
drag the sensors down to the lower lower
00:12:15
left-hand side of the screen so you can
00:12:19
report the numerical values of each one
00:12:22
of them
00:12:23
now we have to put in the thermistor
00:12:26
inside the test tube so after you place
00:12:31
the thermistor inside has to you would
00:12:36
quickly place on start so that it can
00:12:40
start reporting the values for time so
00:12:44
notice that that is our speed decreasing
00:12:47
over time but you can actually shape the
00:12:51
swirl the ice water solution so that it
00:13:00
can go down
00:13:01
remember--the so as you can see
00:13:06
throughout time it's recording the
00:13:09
values of the temperature over certain
00:13:12
amount of time so after you place the
00:13:16
pope inside the test tube and it started
00:13:18
to measure the temperature decrease over
00:13:20
time you're basically going to get a
00:13:22
breath like this
00:13:23
Jovian so notice that there is in fact
00:13:26
the dip in the graph which is really
00:13:30
demonstrates two super cooling effect of
00:13:32
water and then it starts to rise once it
00:13:35
crystallizes in solution so that's where
00:13:38
you can determine that the freezing
00:13:41
point is in fact zero degree Celsius
00:13:43
because if you go across to that toe you
00:13:47
see in fact that it is two degrees
00:13:49
Celsius which is the freezing point of
00:13:52
water so for the next step of
00:13:55
experiments you're going to do the same
00:13:57
procedure as we did with the pure
00:13:58
solvents now the solute that you
00:14:01
introduce it to this test tube so in the
00:14:04
situs test tube a at about 12
00:14:05
milliliters of water and I shook it to
00:14:08
fully dissolve so that we can go on and
00:14:11
measure the same way as we did with the
00:14:13
pure solvents but this is unknown
00:14:17
so once you have gathered all the data
00:14:19
from your experiments by gathering the
00:14:22
data from the freezing point of water as
00:14:24
well as the freezing points of your
00:14:26
unknown you're going to subtract the
00:14:28
values to figure out the freezing point
00:14:30
depression of your compound once you
00:14:33
have a preset for depression you can
00:14:35
plug it into the formula we saw earlier
00:14:37
this software the molality of the
00:14:40
unknown solutes once you have your
00:14:43
molality we're going to solve for moles
00:14:45
and then from there you're going to
00:14:47
divide the mass that you put in the in
00:14:51
the flask in v2 and then divide that
00:14:54
through the moles that you get from the
00:14:56
molality of the inversion and that
00:14:59
concludes this experiment thank you
