Exercise No. 1
Introduction: Safety Precautions and the Chemical Laboratory

I. OBJECTIVES

To familiarize the laboratory operation and to be aware of the safety precautions in the laboratory.

Results Inference
1. Measuring Volume The volume of liquid inside the pipette and graduated
cylinder was weighed and was aligned at the bottom of
a. Using Pipet ___7.5 ml__ the Meniscus. The Meniscus should be proper set in
order to get accurate measurements.
b. Using graduated cylinder ___200 ml___
2. Measuring Weight To find the Net Weight, the Tare Weight was
subtracted to the Gross weight. It was proved that 10
a. Tare weight (wt. of container) ___2.2461g___ grams was the weight of the sand.

b. Gross weight (wt. of container w/ sand) __12.2461g__

c. Net weight (wt. of sand) ____10g_____

3. Precipitation The Ferric chloride has the color of orange to tan and
when the Precipitation happened by adding the sodium
a. Color of ferric chloride (FeCl3) solution Yellowish-orange hydroxide, the color changed to maroon to dark brown.

b. Color of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) solution Clear .

c. Color precipitate __Maroon _

4. Decantation
a. Color of supernatant liquid
5. Filtration
a. Weight of filter paper
b. Wt. of filter and precipitate (after drying)
The liquid settled at the top as the precipitate settled at
the bottom. The experiment was left to settle.
_Light Brown_
The paper was weighed before the filtration happened.
In order to find the weight of the precipitate, the filter
_ 1.2519g _ paper was left to dry out and weighed again. The actual
weight of the paper was subtracted the dried paper with
__ 2.3091g __ substance. Then we got 1.0572g.

c. Weight of precipitate __ 1.0572g __

d. Color of filtrate ___Clear ___

6. Evaporation The weight of the residue was calculated by subtracting
the actual weight of the dish to the dish with the
a. Weight of evaporating dish _ 58.8255g _ residue. There determined that the weight of the
residue was 1.9899 grams that has powdery rough
b. Wt. of evap. dish and residue (after drying) __60.7243g__ appearance.
c. Weight of residue __1.9899g__

d. Color of residue __ White __

e. Texture of residue __ Rough __
