Station One: Boyle

B1. “Pneumatical engine”

Carefully slide the glass dome off the stage. Put a “Peep” onto the stage (but not
over the hole) and put the dome back over it. Turn on the pump and observe.
When finished, release pressure by removing the stopper in the glass dome and
throw your Peep away.

B2. Vinegar & ground coral

Take a small pea-sized scoop of ground coral and place in test tube; pipette out
5.00 mL of vinegar and release into test tube with ground coral; observe

L2. Breakdown metal oxide

Place a pea-sized scoop of lead(IV) oxide carefully into a test tube (wash hands
if you get it on them); light Bunsen burner as demonstrated by your instructor;
heat test tube as demonstrated by your instructor until you observe changes;
place hot test tube in glass beaker.

(This is actually a video of
iron making a change.) X = some heavy
metal ions
The crystal lattice of some heavy metal
oxides will become unstable, reducing the
heavy metal ion and oxidizing the oxide ion
into molecules of oxygen gas.

D5. Discovering iodine: sublimation

Place a few iodine crystals in the warm beaker; place watch glass over beaker
and put a few pieces of ice in it; observe; remove beaker from hot plate and set
aside; place another beaker on hot plate for next group.

S3. Distillation

Observe - do not touch. Distillation is a method of separating mixtures based

on differences in their volatilities in a boiling liquid mixture.
