Chemical Equilibrium- Determination of Keq CHEM 10 Lab Name: Melanie Pon TA: Joshua Baker Lab Partner: Karla

Gomez Purpose/ Overall question: By finding the difference in concentrations between I2 and KI that is present through calculations, the equilibrium constant can be calculated for the different solutions. Also the calculated average should be compared to the given value for comparison. The influence that temperature has on the equilibrium constant is also tested and through Beers law the different concentrations are found. Chemical Alert : Name of Compound 1. Potassium Iodide 2. Iodine 3. Sodium Thiosulfate

Chemical Formula KI I2 Na2S2O3

Chemical Alert Irritant to eye, skin, throat Irritant, burn on contact Irritant, hazardous on contact

Procedure: Part A: 1. Turn on the computer and let the spectrometer warm up for 30 minutes Part B: 1. Use a 5mL volumetric pipet and transfer 0.0001M aqueous iodine, and 10.0mL of 0.5M potassium iodide into an Erlenmeyer flask 2. Take down the absorbance at the decided maximum, and use that to find with the help of equation 2 Part C: 1. Clean a 50mL buret as directed in the lab manual 2. Get 1mL and 2mL volumetric pipets and use them to obtain 0.002M potassium iodide, and 0.0001M iodine into different cuvettes 3. Create the different solutions and use the spectrometer to measure the absorbency. Use a lollipop thermometer to measure the temperature and record it in lab notebook. 4. Clean the pipets for each of the different concentrations, using the same volume Part D: 1. Prepare an ice bath in a 250mL beaker 2. eat a m bea er with m of water to 3. a ing one of the concentration from part and immerse the cu ette in the ice bath nce the temperature has dropped to below ta e the cu ette out and measure the absorbenc with the spectrometer. 4. Take the same cuvette and place it in a hot water bath and measure the absorbance of the cu ette once the temperature has reached Be sure to record the absorbance for calculations later 5. When done take all of the siltions and add 5% sodium thiosulfate to the waste beaker until the color of the solution is colorless. Then dispose of in the fume hoods where there should be two brown jugs.

But there seem to be an error in the data in since in our graph there is this one dot that is separate from all of the other points in the graph he that I had calculated was somewhat close to the given of - 7 j/mol but m s was off by a large amount. Possible sources of error was during heating and reading of the absorbances, the solution cooled beyond the desired temperature, causing the data to be disorted and giving inaccurate absorbance for an undesired temperature. The average equilibrium constant was a bit lower than the given value of 698. This may be dues to not mixing the solutions well enough before putting it into the spectrometer. Overall, the concentrations that were calculated and the equilibrium constant could be found from those numbers. When comparing my results with other group I found that my values were a bit higher than theirs were and shows that there may have been some source of error when performing the experiment. Thus causing there to be difference among the results
