) Lab 1: Salt Production and Mole Ratios Purpose: React baking soda (NaHCO3) with hydrochloric acid (HCl(aq)) to produce salt (NaCl), water (H2O), and carbon dioxide (CO2). Calculate the experimental and known mole ratios. Materials: Sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) Three test tubes Hydrochloric acid (3 mol/L) Electronic Balance Procedure: ! 1. Label three test tubes #1,2 &3. ! 2. Measure and record in the data table the masses of each of the labeled, empty test tubes. ! 3. Add just enough baking soda to fill the curved bottom of each test tube. ! 4. Measure and record in the data table the masses of each tube with baking soda. ! 5. CALCULATE: What is the mass of the baking soda? If necessary, adjust the mass of baking soda so that it is greater than 0.25 g, but not more than 0.50 g. ! 6. Add HCl to test tube #1 one drop at a time, allowing the drop to run down the inside wall of the test tube, listen and watch the reaction. Gently shake the tube after each drop until the reaction stops. Continue to add drops until there is no evidence of any further reaction. Describe the test tube contents and save it. ! 7. Repeat step #6 with test tube #2 and #3. [DRYING STEP] ! 8. Leave test tubes overnight to dry. What do you think we are trying to dry off? ! 9. After the reaction is dry, measure the mass again. Describe the test tube contents. ! 10. Measure and record the mass for each test tube. Clean up around your lab bench.
