Dem. 706-Emulsion

Alcohol

+ Rosin + Hz0

Materials: Ethanol, rosin, H-3, stoppers. Procedure: Project two culture tubes containing 10 ml ethanol. Into tube 2 put a pinch of rosin, then shake to dissolve. Now add 10 ml H 2 0 to each tube, stopper, and shake both together for 10 sec. Let stand. Exhibit macro. Observations: I n tube I the alcohol and water are completely miscible. The solution in tube 2 is opaque, as a permanent emulsion of rosin-coated alcohol suspended in water.

Dem. 707-FfOH

+ H20+ Phenolphiholein

Formation of a water-alcohol emulsion.

Materials: C-3, dil. NaOH-aq, 1%phenolphthalein in EtOH. Procedure: Project C-3 with cells one-quarter full of water. Add drops of NaOH to cells 1 and 2. Now pour half a test-tubeful of the phenolphthalein-alcohol solution into cells 2 and 5, and 1 drop into cell 1. Obseruations: Cell I remains clear red; cells B and 5 turn opaque as emulsions form; The phenolphthalein covers the droplets of alcohol holding them suspended in the water.

Dem. 708-Oil

Emulsion formation.

Materials: Oleic acid, kerosene, 1.5 M NHpOH, two culture tubes, C-3.

T o show: An alcohol-in-water emulsion with rosin as the emulsifying agent.

T o show:

+ Kerosene + NH40H

+ Woier + Soap

Procedure: ( a ) Project tubes, containing 2 ml oleic acid 12 ml kerosene. Shake; let stand. (b) Add 2 ml dil NH40H to one. Shake. Exhibit macro.

+

Observations: ( a ) Two clear layers. (b) The ammonia-oleic acid emulsifies the mixture, coating the drops of kerosene suspended in the water; on the screen the emulsion appears opaque. 2. SURFACE ENERGY EFFECTS Dem. 710--Camphor

+ Alcohol + Oil

Experiment developed by Alphonse Palermo T o show: Surface tension effects in the formation of a n oil-in water emulsion. Materials: Soln A : 5 ml soap aq, 25 ml ethanol, 0.1 g camphor, 3 ml linseed oil. Soln B: same as A without the soap. Methylene blue-aq, C-2. Procedure: Project C-2 with the two cells threequarters full of methylene blue-aq. ( a ) Fill a medicine dropper with solution A, hold its tip below the solution in cell 1 of C-2 and let s o h A flow out. (b) Repeat but this time use S o h B (no soap) in cell 2. Stir. Observations: ( a ) An oil-in-water emulsion forms at the tip of the dropper with turbulence because the camphor and the alcohol lower the surface tension of the oil. (b) Without the soap a similar event occurs but the emulsion is unstable; soap is the emulsifying agent in ( a ) and the oil soon breaks into large globules and floats. Dem. 7 1 1-Alcohol

+ Wafer + Rosin

Experiment developed by A l p h m s e Palermo.

Experiment developed by Charlotte Frick.

T o show: Formation of an oil-in-water emulsion with soap as the emulsifying agent.

T o show: Surface tension effects in the formation of an emulsion.

Materials: Linseed or mineral oil, soap-aq, H-3, stoppers.

0.2 g rosin Materials: Soln A : 50 ml ethanol 0.3 g camphor 1 ml soap-aq. Soln B: Same as A but omittin4 the soap. Methylene blue-aq, C-2.

Procedure: Project two culture tubes containing 10 ml Hz0 10 ml oil. To tube 2 add 1 ml soap-aq. Stopper, then shake both tubes, together, for 10 sec. Let stand.

+

Observations: Two layers, oil and water, separate in tube I. In tube 2 a permanent emulsion forms, with oil coated with soap suspended in water.

+

Procedure: Project C-2 with the two cells threequarters full of methylene blue-aq. ( a ) In cell 1 immerse a dropper holding Soln A , and let Soln A flow down into cell 1. Stir (b) Repeat using Soln B in cell 2. Obseruations: An alcohol-in-water emulsion forms, with rosin as the emulsifying agent. With soap the Volume 47, Number I , January 1970

emulsion is stable; without the soap it is not stable, the alcohol dissolving in the water. J. R., J . Chem. Educ., 12,444 Reference: CALDWELL, (1935).

Materials: NHIOH, conc. HC1, C-3; cotton-tipped swab; dil. NaOH-aq, solid NHrsalt.

Procedure: Put 5 ml water in cell 1 and 5 ml conc. NHIOH in cell 3, leaving cell 2 empty. Proceed to lower swab soaked in conc. HCI into the cells 1, then S. Dem. 712-Acetate

Gel

Experiment developed by Carl J. Mancuso.

+

CaTo show: Formation of a gel from ethanol (0.4~)~. Materials: 95% ethanol, saturated Ca(OAc)?, H-3, 5 X 5-in square of asbestos. Procedure: (a) Project three culture tubes in H-3, tube 1 containing 3 ml sat. calcium acetate, tube 2 empty, and tube 3 containing 30 ml 95% ethanol (absolute ethanol does not work, dilute it). Now pour the two solutions simultaneously into tube B. Wait a moment, then invert tube 2 in H-3. (b) Macro: scoop a bit of the gel out of tube 2, squeeze excess alcohol out of it, and place the gel on a square of asbestos; set fire to it. (c) Darken room, wipe excess alcohol off the hands (CARE: if wet will burn the hands), pick up bits of burning gel. Observations: (a) Acetate-alcohol gel forms. (b) The gel burns, and can (c) be picked up while burning moderately hot. Dem. 713-Silicate

Garden with FeC18

Experiment developed by Alphonse Palermo. To show:

The rapid growth of a ferric silicate garden.

Materials: Commercial sodium silicate, FeCl3.6Hz0, C-2.

+

Procedure: Project 15 ml HzO 5 ml sodium silicate in the two cells of C-2; stir thoroughly. Now drop a few small crystals of FeCls.HzO into each cell. Observations: Shoots of ferric silicate grow with fascinating rapidity on the screen. Call attention to the growth pattern: the tube of silicate ruptures, and a t that point a new bulbous growth begins.

To show:

Formation of smoke.

Observation: Nothing occurs in 1, but in S white NH4C1 smoke curls up from the swab. This is a test for an ammoNH&+. Confirm by mixing NaOH-aq. nium salt in cell 9,and testing with the HC1 swab.
