CH 143 - Lab for CH 142

• use routine laboratory instruments like analytical balances, pH meters and spectrometers in the performance of chemical experiments;
• use volumetric glassware properly to achieve its possible precision;
• predict whether osmosis, dialysis or both will occur when solutions are separated by semipermeable membranes;
• determine end-points in acid-base titrations;
• determine the concentration of solutes in unknown solutions;
• balance redox reactions and predict spontaneity of replacement reactions;
• recognize and classify organic and biochemical compounds by knowledge of their functional groups;
• determine the pH of aqueous solutions using acid-base indicators and pH meters;
• explain shifts in chemical equilibrium based on LeChatelier’s Principle; and
• calculate % yields for synthesis reactions
