Experimental Procedure

1. Disconnect the large test tube (190x20) from the apparatus. Add distilled water through the funnel until the water level is just below the 0.0mL mark in the burette.
2. Raise and lower the funnel to help expel any air bubbles. (No air can be in the tubing or funnel stem at the beginning of the experiment). You might have to adjest the hight of the funnel relative to the rest of the apparatus. Don't let water flow through the rubber tubing used to connect the large test tube to the burette.
3. Tare another large test tube in a 150mL beaker. Use a spatula to add between .90g-.100g of zinc powder into the large test tube. Record the mass of the zinc to three decimal places in the data table.
4. Add about 2.0mL of 6.0M HCl into a small test tube (70mmx10mm). Using forceps, gently slide the small test tube and contents into the larger test tube containing the zinc powder. The small test tube should be in the vertical position (mouth pointing upwards). Don't let any HCl contact the zinc. '*If any does, the experiment has to be restarted.'
5. Reconnect the large test tube to the apparatus so the small tube containing the HCl remains in the vertical position. Move the funnel either up for down so the water in the funnel and burette are at the same level.
6. Record the volume of water in the burette as your initial burette reading.
7. Measure the temperature of the water in the funnel using a thermometer and record it on the data sheet. Record the barometric pressure provided by instructor.

Read the rest before performing

The reaction between 6M HCl and zinc occurs rapidly after mixing. One student will mix the reagents in the test tubes and the other will lower the fullel so that the level of the water in the funnel is at the same height as the level of water in the burette during the time hydrogen gas is generated.

1. With one student ready to lower the funnel, the other one gently inclines the large test tube so that all the HCl in the small tube will run out of the small tube and come in contact with the zinc powder in the large tube. Do not allow any HCl to flow through the rubber tubing connecting the large test tube and the burette.
2. The funnel-lowering student lowrs the funnel, after the zinc and HCl have been mixed, making the lvel of water in the funnel the same as in the burette. Record the final burette reading. The volume of hydrogen gas gas produced is the difference between the final and initial burette readings.
3. Remove the small test tube; pour the contents of the large test tube into a labeled waste container. Wash the large and small test tube with soap and water followed by rinsing with distilled water. Exchange your wet test tubes for a clean, dry set from your instructor. Repeat this experiemnt on two additional samples of zinc and record. Use results to calculate the percent purity of zinc.
