    In the introduction, Jose Rosales explains the purpose of the experiment, which is to determine the molecular weight of an unknown solute by measuring its freezing point depression. A solution consists of a solute and solvent, exemplified by salt and water. Important properties, such as freezing point depression and boiling point elevation, are introduced. The freezing point of pure water is established at 0°C, and its cooling graph is presented, illustrating a supercooling effect where water remains liquid below its freezing point until crystallization occurs. The next steps involve calculating the freezing point depression using an equation that factors in the molality, freezing point depression constant of water, and the van 't Hoff factor.

    The discussion moves to defining the components for calculating freezing point depression. Molality is defined as the moles of solute divided by the kilograms of solvent. The freezing point depression constant for water is given as 1.853 °C/m. The van 't Hoff factor (i) is introduced, determining the number of ions produced from a solute. For example, sodium chloride has a van 't Hoff factor of 2, while calcium chloride is 3. The focus is on an experiment measuring a non-ionizable solute like glucose, which has a van 't Hoff factor of 1. Understanding these factors is crucial for calculating molecular weight in the subsequent experimental steps.

    The experimentation phase is detailed, emphasizing safety precautions, including wearing gloves and goggles. Various materials, such as a thermistor, Styrofoam cup, and salts to depress freezing points, are listed. The process begins with preparing an ice-water solution mixed with salts, followed by measuring the temperature changes in a test tube containing the unknown solute. The micro lab system setup for measuring temperature over time is outlined, and data collection is discussed, eventually leading to deriving the molecular weight of the unknown solute by analyzing the freezing point depression measured during the experiment.

  • 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
