PRELAB QUESTIONS

1. What are the chemical formulas of the reagents mixed

in this experiment?
2. Why is it necessary to warm the reaction mixture?
3. Why should more than one trial be run for each
assignment?
4. When is the filter paper weighed?
5. What is meant by the “stoichiometric point” of
reaction?

ANSWERS

2- Warming the reaction mixture, there could be many

reasons for this, but the most important ones are, these
are; for
cleaning, for a clearer measurement and also for drying
process. (we put
filter papers in the oven to dry,After the drying we
measured their mass)
3-I think more than one experiment should be done,
because the more experiments we do, the more accurate
the experimental result will be and also these trials may
minimizes the mistakes during the measurements.
4-After the samples are taken, the filter papers are dried
with the help of an oven and weighed to see the
differences, and each sampled filter paper is individually
weighed and noted one by one.
5-“Soichiometric point” for a reaction is very important In
any reactions, stoichiometric point is the mol ratio which is
necessary to be estrictive for both or more substances.
