    Add MgO ( white powder) to
    a test tube containing water
    and test it with litmus paper.

    Reaction: (i) 2Mg(s) + O2(g)  2MgO(s)

    Silver colour

    (ii) MgO(s) + H2O(l) Mg(OH)2 (aq)

    3. Zinc wiith dilute sulphuric acid.

    4. Handle the acids and alkalis carefully.

    Experiment-5 Law of conservation of mass

    Aim:

    To verify the law of conservation of mass in a chemical reaction.

    Materials Required:

    Two watch glasses, beakers, weighing balance and glass rod.

    Chemicals Required:

    Distilled water ,Barium chloride (x) and Sodium sulphate (y) solutions.

    Procedure:

    1. Prepare a 5% solution of X and Y given.


    2. Take a little amount of solution of Y in a conical flask and some solution of X in a ignition
    tube.
    3. Hang the ignition tube in the flask carefully .The solution from the test tube should not spill
    in the flask.
    4. Put a cork on the flask.
    5. Weigh the flask with its contents carefully.
    6. Now tilt and swirl the flask gently, so that the solution X and Y get mixed.
    7. Weigh the conical flask again.
    8. Record your observation.
    9. Note the mass of the conical flask before reaction and after reaction
    10. Draw the conclusion from your observation.

    Chemical Reaction:

    BaCl2 + Na2SO4  BaSO4 + 2NaCl

    (Barium chloride) (Sodium sulphate) (white ppt.Barium sulphate) (Sodium chloride)

    Precaution:

    1. Be careful while using the weighing machine.


    2. Prepare the solution in distilled water only.
    3. Do not taste any chemical.
    4. Fix a cork when solution X and Y are mixed.
    5. Subtract the mass of conical flask + cork to get the resultant mass of product.
    6. Cork should be used when the chemicals (reactants) are mixed, so that the gas, vapours
    formed will not be allowed to escape.
    7. The law is verified only in closed system.
    8. Do not allow the chemical to spill from the ignition tube whle recording the inital masss.

    Result:

    Within the reasonable experimental limits:-

    Initial mass of reactants=final mass of the products (reactant mixture)

    Left side in pencil

    Calculation :

    Weight of the apparatus with reaction mixture - 197.40 g

    Weight of the apparatus - 178.30 g

    Weight of the reaction mixture(before chemical change ) – 19.10g

    Weight of the reaction mixture(after chemical change ) – 19.10g

    Thus the law of conservation of mass is verified.
