25.3: Data and Analysis

( \newcommand{\kernel}{\mathrm{null}\,}\)

Data Collection (25 points) 

Following your detailed protocol, perform all the experiments. Record your observations and take pictures of your key steps in the process. Your observations and images need to be incorporated in your data section and this section should be as detailed as possible as you will use this information to complete your discussion. 

 

Data Processing (25 points) 

  1. Write the balanced chemical reaction for CaCl2 dissolving in water. 

  1. Calculate the concentration of CaCl2 in solution. 

  1. Calculate the concentration of Ca2+ and Cl in solution. 

  1. Calculate the concentration of sodium alginate in solution. 

  1. Fill in the following table using the data and observations from your experiment: 

Assumptions made 

Testing the assumption 

If assumptions are wrong ... 

The distilled water is pure 

Evaporate it and check for residue 

The density would change depending on the density of the contaminant. 

Calcium alginate is insoluble in water 

Check the solubility 

  

 

  

The mass of recovered solid is dramatically less then expected
