Lesson 3 Lab: Pipetting and Self-Inflating Hydrogen Balloons

PART 1 Begin by viewing the following Thinkwell video 27.1.4 CIA Demonstration: Pipetting After you watch the above video, answer the questions below in sufficient detail: (a) (1 pts) What is a pipette and for what is it used? Answer:

(b) (1 pts) What is the difference between a graduated pipette and a volumetric pipette, and what is the specific function of each? Answer: (c) (2 pts) What is the proper technique for using each of these instruments? What is the importance of the "meniscus" in this technique? Answer: (d) (1 pts) Give a specific example of how you could use a pipette (if one were available), in your own daily life, and explain which type of pipette you should use in your situation and why. Answer:

PART 2 Please watch the following Thinkwell video: 3.3.4 CIA Demonstration: Self-Inflating Hydrogen Balloons

After you watch the above video, answer the questions below in sufficient detail: (a) (3 pts) First, the instructor violated several safety rules in this video. List and explain/discuss at least (3) safety rules he violated. Answer: (b) (2 pts) Why did these balloons inflate? Write and discuss a balanced chemical equation for this reaction and use it to help explain your answer. Answer: (c) (2 pts) What remained in the last (4th) flask (the one with the green balloon) at the end of the reaction? Why? What does this demonstrate with regard to limiting reactant? Answer: (d) (2 pts) Why was the same amount of HCl kept in every flask? Why didnt the instructor vary those amounts as well? Answer:

(e) (2 pts) Why did the 3rd flask balloon (the red one) inflate more than the 1st flask balloon (the purple one)? Incorporate the concept of limiting reagent in your answer. Answer: (f) (4 pts) Suppose you ran this same reaction (using the balloon setup as seen in the video) on your own with two different flasks. In Flask A, you reacted 1.65 g Mg with 0.136 mol HCl. In Flask B, you reacted 2.21 g Mg with 0.098 mol HCl. Which ballon will inflate the most? Explain (in detail) why. Answer:
