Stoichiometry and Measurements Lab

Introduction to Lab Problem Astronauts in the space station need to produce 0.200 mol of calcium carbonate for a certain experiment they are performing. To do this, they combine sodium carbonate and calcium nitrate in a double replacement reaction. This means 0.200 mole of Na 2CO3 is needed. t is then !eighed out and dissol"ed in !ater to form a solution of sodium carbonate.

1) Calculate the require theoretical yield in order to obtain the required actual yield. 2) Calculate the required mass of the reactants based off of step 1 3) Find a medium flask, small beaker, a funnel, stirring rod and filter paper. 4) eight the filter paper and label your beaker. !) "easure out required reactants and put into a collecti#e beaker. $) %dd an e&cess amount of 'ater into the beaker 'ith mi&ture () )tir the contents of the beaker thoroughly and set aside *) Fit a filter into a funnel and insert funnel into a flask. +) )lo'ly pour the solution in the beaker into the funnel 'ith the filter. 1,) ait for solution to filter through 11) -ry the filter by lea#ing out o#ernight. 12) eight the filter 'ith the residue then subtract the original 'eight of the filter paper ./o' the 'eight of the product is obtained.
