    Materials
    • 10 - 24 hole well plates
    • Plastic beral pipets – 8mL
    • Toothpicks
    • Two hotplates, set up in each hood with 800 mL beakers on them

     

    Chemicals

    Prepare 5 sets and place part one and two on one end of bench and part three on the other end. 

    Part I

    • 1 L 0.1 M NaHSO4 sodium hydrogen sulfate 
    • 1 L 0.1 M Na2SO4 ­­ sodium sulfate 
    • 20 g Solid NaHSO4 sodium hydrogen sulfate 
    • 200 mL Thymol blue indicator solution 

    Part II

    • 1 L 1.0 M MgCl2 magnesium chloride 
    • 500 mL 0.5 M NaOH sodium hydroxide 
    • 500 mL 0.5M Na4EDTA sodium EDTA 
    • 200 mL Phenolphtlalein indicator solution 

    Part III

    • 500 mL 0.15 M CoCl2 in methanol - (the CoCl2 must be placed in the oven for at least 24 hours before making up the solution. It must not be in the hydrated form.) – Leftovers are in the flammable cabinet
    • 20 g CaCl2 solid 
    • 500 mL 0.1 M AgNO3 

     

    Place in two bottles, one in each hood. 

    200 mL Concentrated hydrochloric acid

     

    Waste bottles needed for part III only. Please label with those chemicals.
