Lab Activity 3 Properties of Liquids

This laboratory activity involves investigating the properties of water, ethyl alcohol, and kerosene through three experiments. Students will observe how a charged comb interacts with liquid streams from burets. They will also place drops of each liquid on wax paper and observe their appearance. Finally, students will place blades on the surface of the liquids in containers to see if they float. The goal is to compare and record the behaviors and interactions of the three different liquids in each experiment.

GENERAL CHEMISTRY 2

LABORATORY ACTIVITY

Materials Needed:
 Liquid sample: water, ethyl alcohol, kerosene
 Three burets
 Beakers or glass jars with wide mouth
 Three pieces blade
 Small piece of wax paper or plastic sheet
 Three droppers
 Plastic comb, cloth to rub comb
 Glass rod
 Some newspapers to catch drips and spills

Procedure:
Liquid and charged object:
1. Place a liquid sample in each of the buret.
2. Rub the comb on a piece of cloth.
3. Open the buret stopcock and allow a thin steady stream of liquid to flow.
4. Place the rubbed part of the comb close to the stream of liquid. Make sure to rub
the comb with the cloth before using it with the next liquid.
5. Observe and record how the rubbed comb affected the stream of liquid.

Liquid and drops on wax paper


1. Lay a piece of wax paper flat on the surface of the table.
2. Using a dropper, place a drop of liquid sample on the wax paper. Do the same
for the two other liquids. Make sure a different dropper is used for each of the
liquid samples to avoid contamination.
3. Observe and record the appearance of the drops of the liquid samples on wax
paper.

Liquid and blade on the surface


1. Place some of the liquid samples in a beaker or a wide mouth glass jar.
2. Carefully place a blade on the surface.
3. Did the blade float on the surface of the liquids? Record your observations.
