Lab Report (Solubility)

This experiment aims to determine the solubility of ammonium chloride (NH4Cl) in water at different temperatures and construct a solubility curve. The experiment involves measuring the mass of NH4Cl added to test tubes containing 5 mL of water, heating the solutions to dissolve the solute, and recording the temperature at which crystals start to form. This will provide data on the solubility of NH4Cl at various temperatures, from which a solubility curve can be plotted showing how solubility changes with temperature. The solubility curve can then be used to predict solubility at other temperatures.

SOLUBILITY
INTRODUCTION
A Solution is a homogeneous mixture of two or more
substances. The substance that is present in the greatest amount is
called the solvent and the rest of the other components are called
solutes.
The ability of a substance to dissolve in a solvent is called
solubility. Quantitatively, solubility also indicates the maximum amount
of solute that can dissolve in a given amount of solvent at a given
temperature. If two liquid substances dissolve together, they are said
to be miscible and if they do not, they are immiscible. Different
substances differ in their solubilities in a given solvent.
Solubility of a substance is determined by the nature of
the solute and solvent, temperature, and pressure. For most
substances, increasing the temperature will increase the amount of
solute that will dissolve in the same volume of solvent. The
relationship between temperature and solubility is shown by the
solubility curve of the solute.
OBJECTIVES
To determine the solubility of a solute in water
at different temperatures and construct its
solubility curve.
To predict the amount of solute that will
dissolve in a given amount of solvent at
various temperatures using a solubility curve.
REAGENTS
Ammonium chloride

MATERIALS
Triple beam balance
400mL beaker
wire gauze
thermometer
20mL test tube
test tube rack

Distilled water

Tripod
stirring rod
10mL graduated cylinder
Hot plate
spatula
Test tube holder
test tube brush
PROCEDURE
Prepare water bath by heating a 250mL beaker containing
150mL water

Label four (4) 20mL test tubes 1 through 4

Accurately measure out the following masses of solid


ammonium chloride in the corresponding test tubes.

Test tube 1: 1.8 g NH 4Cl Test tube 3: 2.3 g NH 4Cl


Test tube 2: 2.0 g NH 4Cl Test tube 4: 2.6 g NH 4Cl

Add exactly 5.0mL of water to each of the test tube

Place test tube 1 into the water bath in order to dissolve


the solid NH4Cl. Use stirring rod to help in the dissolving
process.

Remove test tube 1 from the hot water bath once the
NH4Cl has fully dissolved and place a thermometer in the
tube. Watch the solution carefully. Record the temperature
as soon as you can see crystals forming within the test tube.

Repeat
Record the mass, volume and temperature
measurements in the data table.

Convert the mass/volume ratio used for each test


tube into grams 100 mL ratio and record in the
data table.

Plot the solubility vs temperature to construct the


solubility curve for NH4Cl based on the
experimental data.
