Thử Thách Nhận Biết Chất Chưa Biết

Dùng tính chất vật lý và hóa học để nhận biết bột bí ẩn

Qualitative Analysis Intermediate (High School) 75 phút ~$10,00

Mục tiêu

Áp dụng nhiều thử nghiệm định tính để nhận biết các bột trắng chưa biết, phát triển kỹ năng tư duy phân tích có hệ thống.

Bối cảnh

This integrative experiment challenges students to identify unknown white powders from a set of possibilities (NaCl, NaHCO₃, CaCO₃, cornstarch, sugar, baking powder) using a battery of physical and chemical tests. Students must design their own testing sequence, demonstrating understanding of solubility, acid reactivity, flame tests, and indicator tests.

Cảnh báo an toàn

  • Do not taste any unknown samples
  • Wear goggles when heating or adding acid to unknowns
  • Some unknowns may react vigorously with acid

PPE cần thiết

Vật liệu

  • Unknown powders (3–5 samples) (2 g each)
    Labeled A, B, C, etc.
  • Dilute HCl (1M) (10 mL)
    For acid reactivity test
  • Distilled water (100 mL)
    For solubility test
  • Iodine solution (5 mL)
    Starch test
  • Universal indicator (5 mL)
    pH test

    Water of crystallization test

Thiết bị

Test tubes (10) Bunsen burner Nichrome wire loop Spatula Magnifying glass Evaporating dish

Quy trình

1

Observe each unknown's physical appearance under magnifying glass: crystal shape, texture, color. Record observations.

10 phút
2

Solubility test: Add 0.5 g of each unknown to 5 mL distilled water. Stir and observe if it dissolves, partially dissolves, or is insoluble.

10 phút
3

pH test: Add 2 drops of universal indicator to the dissolved/suspended samples. Record the pH.

5 phút
4

Acid reactivity: Add 5 drops of dilute HCl to a small amount of each dry unknown. Record any effervescence (CO₂ evolution).

10 phút
5

Iodine test: Add 2 drops of iodine solution to each unknown dissolved in water. Record color change.

5 phút
6

Flame test: Using a clean nichrome wire, test each unknown in the Bunsen burner flame.

15 phút Keep face away from flame
7

Heat test: Gently heat a small amount of each unknown in an evaporating dish. Observe melting, charring, or gas evolution.

10 phút Use tongs to handle hot dish
8

Compile all results and cross-reference to identify each unknown. Write your reasoning.

10 phút

Kết quả dự kiến

NaCl: soluble, neutral pH, no acid reaction, yellow flame. NaHCO₃: soluble, basic pH, effervesces with acid. CaCO₃: insoluble, effervesces with acid, orange-red flame. Cornstarch: insoluble, positive iodine test. Sugar: soluble, chars on heating.

Dọn dẹp

Dispose of acid-reacted solutions in waste container. Clean all test tubes and glassware. Return unused unknown samples.
