Q & A

What is the purpose of using test tubes in this experiment?
-Test tubes are used to mix substances and to heat them during experiments. They can be conveniently held in a test tube rack when not in use.
How do you safely light a Bunsen burner?
-To light a Bunsen burner, you must first check that all gas connections are secure. Turn the gas knob slightly, use a lighter to ignite the flame, and adjust the air vent to produce a stable blue flame.
Why is a blue flame preferred over a yellow flame when heating substances?
-A blue flame is preferred because it produces a higher temperature and avoids soot formation on the glassware, which can happen with a yellow flame.
What safety precautions should be taken when heating liquids in a test tube?
-Always tilt the test tube away from yourself and others while heating, as boiling liquids may splash or produce steam that can cause burns.
What is demi-water and why is it used in experiments?
-Demi-water, or demineralized water, is extremely pure water with all minerals removed. It is used in experiments to ensure no impurities affect the results.
What are evaporating dishes used for in this experiment?
-Evaporating dishes are used to evaporate solvents from solutions, leaving behind the solid substances.
How should you extinguish a Bunsen burner safely after use?
-To safely extinguish a Bunsen burner, first turn the flame back to a yellow safety flame, then turn off the gas supply completely to ensure no residual gas escapes.
What is the function of a pipette in the experiment?
-A pipette is used to accurately measure and transfer small amounts of liquid. It allows precise control over the volume of liquid being dispensed.
What is the purpose of a burette and how is it used?
-A burette is used for titrations, where precise amounts of liquid are added to another solution to determine its concentration. The valve at the bottom controls the flow of liquid.
Why are different sizes of measuring cylinders used in the lab?
-Different sizes of measuring cylinders are used based on the required precision. Larger cylinders are used for rough volume estimates, while smaller ones provide more accurate measurements.
