Rock Candy Lab

Introduction: Have you ever noticed on television how clean the


scientist’s labs are? How carefully they work with their solutions, their
little pipettes, or even with their cadavers?

Usually Hollywood hopelessly botches any attempt to portray scientists,


but in this case they got it right. Good science requires pure chemicals.
And to this day one of the best ways to prepare a pure solid sample is
by recyrstallization- the process of isolating pure crystals from a
solid/liquid solution.

In this experiment you will make rock candy at home and bring it in to share with your classmates.
This is an excellent example of recrystallization in action.

Safety Notice: Since no food is allowed in the lab,


this experiment must be performed at home.

Rock Candy
A video can be seen here at http://chemistry.learnhub.com/lesson/9991-rock-candy-video

Prep: 15 min., Cook: 20 min., Stand: 14 days.

Ingredients
1 Pie tin
A clear cup
6 cups of sugar
4 wood skewers
Cardboard to cover cup
Masking tape
Recipe
2. Bring 2 cups of water to a boil, then add 6 cups of sugar and stir until
dissolved. Measure carefully, as our experiments suggest that as little a
measurement off by as little as 5% can make a huge difference in
crystallization time. Add any food-grade additives you like: food coloring,
cinnamon oil, vanilla, etc.
4. Fill a clear plastic cup with the hot sugar solution, cover with the
cardboard, and tape shut. Stick skewers in, not touching the bottom. Let
stand 10 to 14 days.

2. Which of the above sugars is table sugar? Glucose, fructose, of sucrose?

2. It is said that a crystal resembles the structure of the molecule it is formed from. The hexagonal
quartz crystals from SiO2 are an example. Since we started from sugar crystals, dissolved them in
water, then let them reform slowly, the process is known as recrystallization. Based on the chemical
structure of table sugar, draw a prediction of what your crystals will look like.

Talking about Solutions

For some of us, when we think of a chemist we imagine some person in a lab coat mixing chemicals
together. That person is preparing a solution, which is what this unit is all about. Read the paragraphs
below and then use your newfound knowledge to answer the questions that follow.

A solution is a homogeneous mixture, which means that only one thing is visible in the solution. The
substance that is dissolved is the solute, and the substance that does the dissolving is the solvent. On
a molecular scale dissolving involves the solvent surrounding the solute, and if they are salts they are
divided into their ionic components- this process is known as solvation. Solutes that are salts are
known as electrolytes. If the solutes are not ionic, like sugar for example, they are non-electrolytes.
In general if the solute has a
chemical structure similar to the
solvent, it will dissolve. For this
concept (solubility) it is said that
“like dissolves like”. In the organic
world one can identify, for example,
greasy (hydrocarbon chains), watery HO
(OH groups), and brick-like
(alternating double-bonded rings like
benzene) groups. Greasy: will dissolve in
A “brick”: hard to
greasy solvents watery: will dissolve in dissolve in anything.
watery solvents (like
It has often been observed that one can, at least temporarily, add
water)more solute to a solvent than it can
handle. For example, a maximum of 35.9 grams of table salt (NaCl) is soluble in 100 mL of water at 25
O
C: this is a saturated solution; it has all the salt it can handle. But if you add it slowly you can get 40
or even 45 grams of salt to dissolve in water. It is now supersaturated, and the extra salt will
precipitate or “crash out of solution” by doing almost anything- it is ultra-sensitive. It’s almost like
the first molecule of salt needs to crystallize, but none of the molecules are volunteering. That first
watery region
crystal forming from a supersaturated solution is known as nucleation, and there are two ways to get
a volunteer. The classic way is to add a tiny amount of solid salt (known as a seed crystal)…kind of like
adding a volunteer; this is called heterogeneous nucleation. The second way is to just bump the
solution, or keep waiting, and finally a molecule decides to volunteer on its own. This is hard to
replicate because it is so sensitive, and is known as homogeneous nucleation. Finally, when the solute
precipitates slowly this is known as recrystallization, and is a great way to make super-pure crystals.

One can improve the solubility of a substance by changing the pressure or temperature of the
solution. For solid solutes in a liquid solution (like salt in water), solubility usually, but doesn’t always
increase with temperature. For example, more sugar will dissolve in water if you heat it up. Now
consider soda, where heating soda makes it go flat. So for gases dissolved in liquids, solubility
decreases as temperature increases. Globally, since more oxygen will dissolve in cold water than hot,
this explains why the nutrient-rich seas are near the poles. Finally, solubility increases with pressure-
by selling soda in pressurized containers more carbon dioxide can be added to soda, giving it a better
taste. This is known as Henry’s Law, which is our next topic.

20. What is Henry’s Law?

14
Name: ______________________________ Period_________ WS11.2

Henry’s Law

A sure-fire way to increase the solubility of any solute is to pressurize the solution. You see this in
action every time you open a can or bottle of soda: as soon as you open it the pressure in the
container goes down, so the solubility of the carbon dioxide in water goes down, and it precipitates as
bubbles. Put another way, soda makers can dissolve more carbon dioxide in their soda by pressurizing
the solution. Henry’s Law states this fact -that solubility is proportional to temperature -
mathematically. The formula is:
S1 S2

P1 P2
Where S1 and S2 are the initial and final solubilities, and the P’s are for pressure. Since the units
cancel and are always positive, any consistent units can be used.

Example: I’d like to make some super-carbonated soda. The solubility of CO2 in water at room
temperature is 3.3 g CO2 per liter of solution at STP (273K, 1 atm). I’d like to triple that. How
much pressure should I apply?
Solution: This one you might be able to do in your head. To triple the solubility we need to triple
the pressure- from 1 atmosphere to 3 atmospheres:
S1 S2 3.3 g /L 9.9 g/L (1 atm)(9.9 g/L)
 ;  ; x=  3 atm
P1 P2 1 atm x (3.3 g/L)

1. 0.85 g of a gas at 4.0 atm of pressure dissolves in 1.0 L of water at 298 K, how much will dissolve in
1.0 L of water at 1.0 atm of pressure at the same temperature?

2. 1.8 g of a gas at 2.5 atm of pressure dissolves in 2.0 L of Carbon Tetrachloride at 420 K. What
pressure would the solution have to be at if 4.7 g of the same gas is dissolved at the same volume and
temperature?

3. 4.28 g of a gas at 1.7 atm of pressure dissolves in 2.3 L of water at 527 K, how much will dissolve in
1.0 L of water at 1.0 atm of pressure at the same temperature?

How to ace the solutions unit.

Solutions are ground zero in the chemical world- that’s where most of the action is. Gases are
difficult to contain, or even see. Solids don’t react well because of surface area issues. Solutions,
on the other hand, are easy to see, react, store, and work with. It’s no surprise, then, that
solutions are all around us. In the grocery store, at the gas station, in our bodies- solutions abound.

This has been predominantly a hands-on unit. Once we familiarized ourselves with the vocabulary,
we learned how to prepare solutions of different concentrations, and how to change their
concentration. We also learned how solutes affect the melting point and boiling point of solutions.

To help you ace this unit, we begin with a story to sharpen your language skills in this unit. Then we
present some situations where solutions need to be prepared and their concentrations adjusted.
And we finish with a road salt example of colligative properties in action.

Don’t forget to review your worksheets, PowerPoint’s, and labs before you take the solutions test.

Read the story below and fill in the blanks and answer the questions as you go. The story is
designed to include all of the new vocabulary and techniques you have learned.

1. Fill in the blanks to review the vocabulary used in this unit:

Today I decided to make rock candy. I mixed sugar with water, so my solute is ________ and the
solvent is _________, and since the resulting mixture was clear and colorless it was
______________. It took a while for the sugar to dissolve, probably because the big chunks of
sugar made the molecular process of ___________ slow. I was surprised to see that this solution did
not conduct electricity; apparently sugar is a _________________. I was also surprised to see how
much sugar dissolved in water, sugar is highly _________________ in water. In fact I put so much
sugar in that when I shook the solution it spontaneously crystallized; apparently the solution was
__________________. Since I didn’t add a seed crystal to the solution, this is specifically known as
_______________ _______________. It was cool watching the first crystal form, that moment
known as ___________________.

I took one of my recrystallized sugar crystals and placed it under an atomic force microscope. I could
see numerous O-H groups, which reminded me of water. I can see why the saying “__________
___________ __________” is used to predict solute-solvent solubilities. I would predict sugar to
be ___________ in hexane (CH3CH2CH2CH2CH2CH3), and ____________ in ethanol (CH3CH2OH).
To increase that solubility, I could _____________, _____________, or add more
_____________, although one of these doesn’t always work (__________________). I know that in
the cases of gases, dissolved in liquids, solubility increases when the solution is _______________.
And pressurizing a solution to dissolve more solute is an example of __________ __________ in
action.

2. Henry’s Law: Solubility is proportional to _____________.


If the solubility of a solute in water is 2.8 g/L at 1 atmosphere pressure, and the pressure is
increased to 3 atmospheres, the solubility will increase to ________ g/L.

3. Concentration and dilution

For all of these questions you have 29 grams of table salt in 500 mL of solution.

a. Describe how to prepare this solution

b. Calculate the percent salt by mass (water has a density of 1 g/mL)

c. Calculate the percent mass by volume (table salt has a density of 2.16 g/mL)

d. Calculate the molarity of the solution (table salt has a molar mass of about 58 g/mol)

e. This solution will have a (higher/lower) boiling point than pure water, and a (higher/lower)
freezing point than pure water.

f. Calculate the molality of the solution (L1 only; assume 950 g water).

g. Calculate the freezing point of this solution (L1 only; Kf H2O = 1.86 OC/m; use data above
for molality).

h. Calculate the boiling point elevation of this solution (L1 only; Kb H2O = 0.512 OC/m; use data
above for molality).
