Place the following experiment 5 procedure steps in the correct order.
Question 4 options:
Pour each trial into a clean, dry, and labeled 100 mL beaker. Cover each beaker with a watch glass and set them on a hot plate set to 180 degrees for 10 minutes. Be sure the beakers are covered as the solution can bump.
Prepare 18 mL of 2M sulfuric acid from 6M sulfuric acid. Remember, always add acid to water, never water to acid. Add 6 mL of the 2M sulfuric acid to each trial. Calculate the yield of magnesium sulfate.
Mass three filter papers. Place the massed filter paper into a Buchner funnel. Place the Buchner funnel into a rubber vacuum gasket in a 250 mL filter flask. Make sure the filter flask is attached to a ring stand with a clamp. Filter the samples one at a time. Wash the samples with water, then a small (under 5 mL) portion of acetone. Place the filter on a watch glass and add the next filter paper to filter the next sample. Repeat until all 3 samples are filtered. Place the samples under the heat lamp to dry for 15 minutes and mass again. Determine the mass and percent yield of magnesium carbonate for each sample.
Add 3.5 mL of 5M NaOH to each trial. Calculate the theoretical yield of magnesium hydroxide for each trial. You should see a milky white suspension.
In a single 25 mL Erlenmeyer flask, prepare 20 mL of 3M HCl by adding 8.00 mL of water and slowly adding 12.0 mL of 5M HCl. Always add acid to water, never water to acid. Then add 6 mL of the 3M HCl to each 125 mL Erlenmeyer flask with magnesium. Calculate theoretical yield of magnesium chloride for each trial. You should see a clear solution when all of the magnesium has reacted.
Mass approximately 0.1 g of magnesium metal three times into clean, dry, and labeled 125 mL Erlenmeyer flasks. Be sure each of the three flasks is labeled as they will contain a slightly different mass of magnesium.
