For the first part of the experiment, start by donning a lab coat and safety glasses.

Measure out 4 mL of
the sodium carbonate solution using your graduated cylinder. Put this quantity in a test tube. Clearly
mark the test tube. Use soap and water to clean your graduated cylinder. Using a paper towel, dry.
Measure out 1 mL of the calcium chloride solution this time using the graduated cylinder. Add another
test tube to this solution. Accordingly, give your test tube a label. Wash your graduated cylinder once
again in a solution of water and detergent. Using a paper towel, dry. Add 2 mL of diluted sulfuric acid or
1M HCl to a third test tube after giving it a label.

The three test tubes should be put in a 150 mL beaker. Ensure that the test tubes won't leak any of their
contents due to their placement. Place the test tubes in a sturdy, well-balanced configuration. Calculate
the combined mass of the beaker, the three test tubes, and all of their contents using the lab balance.
File the data sheet away. Remove the test tube-filled beaker from the balance.

Pour all of the calcium chloride solution from its test tube into the sodium carbonate solution's test
tube. Re-insert the three test tubes, together with the empty one, into the beaker. The beaker, the test
tubes, and their contents' combined mass should be measured once more. Enter m1 for this mass.

For the second part of the experiment, Remove the setup from the balance first, including the beaker,
test tubes, and their contents. Hold the test tube containing the two combined solutions carefully using
a test tube holder. Add the third test tube's acid content gradually to the test tube containing the
combined solutions. Slowly perform this, then note the outcomes. When the procedure is finished, put
all the test tubes—this time two empty ones—back into the beaker. Calculate the system's overall mass.
Note the mass.
