Satii Chemistry Official Thread

<p>we went over this before. the reagent is what you're titrating with and you measure that volume with a buret. (i.e. ur titrating weak acid and strong base, need to know volume of base to neutralize acid, use the buret - also has more sig figs)</p>

<p>I think I also put water for that one question, just because water vapor's always present in air . . . .</p>

<p>The answer to the titration question was a buret.</p>

<p>A buret has VOLUME MARKINGS on it. Reagent is what you titrate with.</p>

<p>You can conceretely say that the reagent, which is what you titrate with, is sitting inside a buret that has volume markings on it. And you would rather have us take the time to take it all out, measure it pre-titration, put it in, then take it back out and measure it post-titration?</p>

<p>The answer is buret. Argue if you will, but it doesn't make your answer any less wrong.</p>

<p>ok, nice ebonytear. the test said ''normal atmospheric conditions'', so the answer is H2.</p>

<p>Reactions are more favored to be disorderly (chaos theory, frikin awesome!). so that was a false one</p>

<p>If you did titration experimentally, you have your strong base (or whatever ) in the buret, and an acid in the flask. You then proceed to add base by twisting the knob, which adds a small amount of base each time you rotate the knob.</p>

<p>The lab work problem -</p>

<p>answer is "slowly add water to dilute concentrated acid"</p>

<p>This is highly exothermic, so its incorrect.</p>

<p>The acid is always added to the water, not the other way around.</p>

<p>pudding girl: that's bio...is it the same for chem?</p>

<p>variance, u never came online...this is my sn: theguju4lyfe, if u get this IM me, thanx</p>

i'm sorry, i mean to say that this is the curve for previous real sat ii chem</p>

<p>is that the curve in the real sat ii book? if so, that means you can miss 20 and still get a 700, yay! lol</p>

<p>I just realized that I said I put water for that question because there's always water in the atmosphere, lol. I meant to say that I marked H2, because ....</p>

<p>didnt i say adding water to acid was wrong?</p>

<p>for one of the questions I said fire sharpening glass was unsafe... the other choice was adding water to acid...</p>

<p>which one is right?</p>

<p>Why would you want sharp glassware?</p>

<p>its fire polishing glass is the unsafe laboratory practice... everything else seemed fine to do in a laboratory. </p>

<p>also, im pretty sure that adding water to acid is safe. it dilutes it, so why would it be unsafe?</p>

<p>adding water into solid acid highly unsafe...</p>

<p>it will create a very exothermic reaction and u will burn yourself</p>

<p>^^ Because it releases a lot of heat. Try it in a lab sometime. I did it in a lab and using just foam cups, 50mL of 1M HCl + 50mL of 1M NaOH released enough heat to bring the water up 10 degrees. Therefore, the rule of thumb is adding acid to water.</p>

<p>The correct answer is adding water to acid.</p>

<p>the safe way to do is:
add acid very slowly to a large quantity of water..</p>

<p>yup i was really confused on that question too, but i remember in a lab we did that the teacher made us dilute the acid by pouring the acid into the water, not vice versa</p>

<p>so approximately how many can you miss for an 800?</p>

<p>what was the asnwer to the question about what releases the most eat (it had to do with NaOH and another acid i believe) and why> I think i put H2SO4, but i totally guessed.</p>
