COMMON LABORATORY OPERATIONS AND TECHNIQUES

Objectives:

After completing the activity, the students should be able to

1.) Do an actual demonstration on the proper techniques in transferring
liquid reagents, separating a solid from liquid, manipulation of Bunsen
burner, heating and determining taste and odor of substances.
2.) Appreciate the need to observe proper laboratory techniques to avoid
accident and achieve maximum efficiency.
3.) Work with coordination of ideas from each members of the group.
4.) Give more ideas/suggestions as to the proper processes used in
separating solid from liquid.
5.) Apply the rules on proper waste disposal.

Apparatus:

Reagent bottles beaker Erlenmeyer’s Flask

Glass rod funnel test tube holder
Test tube alcohol lamp watch glass
Graduated cylinder evaporating dish tripod

Materials:

Ferric chloride sodium hydroxide filter paper

Table salt ethyl alcohol starch
Ammonia glucose water

Procedure:

1. Transferring Liquid
To transfer a liquid reagent to another container, you may do the
following techniques:

a.) When pouring a liquid into a wide mouth container, have the
neck of the reagent bottle touch the rim of the receiving vessel.
b.) Use a glass rod or funnel when transferring a liquid into a
narrow-
mouthed container. The glass rod or funnel directs the flow of liquid
and prevents it from spilling down the sides of the container.
Perform the technique of transferring a liquid from a reagent bottle
to a beaker, a graduated cylinder and a test tube.

2. Heating Liquids

When heating a small amount of liquid in a test tube, use a test tube
holder. Hold the test tube at 40 degrees and heat its content by
passing it back and forth over the flame in such a manner that the tip
of the flame is near the top of the liquid but does not touch the empty
part of the test tube. Never point it towards anyone. Do not cover the
test tube with a cork or rubber stopper while heating. The test tube
might break due to the build up of pressure.

3. Precipitation

Using a graduated cylinder, take 5 mL of calcium chloride solution

and transfer it to a test tube. Again, take a 4 mL of sodium hydroxide
and add slowly to the test tube containing the calcium chloride. Note
the solid calcium hydroxide which is formed by the reaction. It is
sometimes necessary to separate a solid from a liquid. The commonly
used separation methods are the following:

A.) Filtration
is the process of separating solid particles from a liquid by pouring
the mixture through filter paper.
Get a piece of filter paper and fold into halves. Then fold this into
quarters. Cut to form a cone. Open the filter paper such that you
have one fold on one side and three on the other side. Moisten the
filter paper so that it fits snugly into the funnel. The liquid that passes
through the filter paper is called the filtrate. The solid deposited on the
filter paper is called the precipitate.

17
B.) Decantation
is the process of allowing the solid particles to settle, then
carefully pouring off the liquid.
When the solid is heavy and has a tendency to settle, the
separation is accomplished by decantation.
Transfer the precipitate from the filter paper reserved in
procedure A.) to a test tube. Add about 5 mL of water to the
precipitate and shake very well. Allow the precipitate to settle to
the bottom of the test tube. Slowly pour off the supernatant liquid
(the liquid product of decantation), being careful to reserve the
precipitate in the test tube.

C.) Evaporation
gradual change of a liquid into gas.
Transfer the filtrate from procedure A.) to an evaporating dish.
Prepare an alcohol lamp and light it. Over the lighted alcohol
lamp, place the tripod and on top of the tripod, place a wire
gauze or clay triangle. Evaporate the liquid slowly being careful
not to overheat the white crystals formed. Cover the evaporating
dish with watch glass and allow the contents to cool. The solid
resulting from such evaporation was called the residue. The
residue is sodium chloride and is one of the products of the
reaction between sodium hydroxide and calcium chloride.

D.) Determining odor and taste

Determining odor and taste involves some danger since

many substances are poisonous.

a.) Odor : Open the reagent bottle and hold it about 12 cm

from your face. Fan very gently the air above the reagent
bottle towards you and inhale the air. Smell cautiously, do
not breath in heavily. Many substances with characteristic
odors, some will have agreeable, others disagreeable or
irritating odors.

b.) Taste : If the substance is soluble in water, dissolve a

pinch in 5 mL of water. Dip the end of a glass rod in the
solution and touch it to the tip of your tongue. If the
substance is insoluble in water, moisten the tip of your
little finger, then touch the substance with it and apply
to the tip of your tongue. In all cases, do not swallow
but spits out the substance instead.
