1. ACID/BASE EQUILIBRIA
1. Step 1: Set up 3 test tubes, 0.5M K2CrO4, Concentrated, 6M NaOH. Label each tube with the number.
2. Step 2: Fill each tube with 10 drops of 0.5M K2CrO4. Then observe the color of tube #1.
3. Step 3: In tubes #2 and #3, add 5 drops of concentrated HCl. Observe the
color of them and compare with tube #1.
4. Step 4: Next, put 10 drops of 6M NaOH into tube #3. Observe and compare
the color of tube #3 with tube #2.
2. EQUILIBRIA OF ACID/BASE INDICATORS
1. Step 1: Prepare a test tube with 2 drops of methyl violet.
2. Step 2: Fill this tube with 20mL of distilled water.
3. Step 3: Then divide it equally into 2 test tubes. Observe the color of tube #1.
4. Step 4: Carefully add 6M HCl to tube #2 until there is no noticeable change. Observe how the color changes.
5. Step 5: Next, continue adding 6M NaOH to tube #2 wisely until there is no
significant change. Observe the shift in color.
6. Step 6: After then, add 6M HCl wisely to tube #2 until there is no discernible
change. Observe the shift in color.
3. COMPLEX ION FORMATION (Skip)
4. EQUILIBRIA OF PRECIPITATION REACTIONS
1. Step 1: Prepare 2 test tubes with 0.1M CaCl2, 0.1M Na2C2O4, 0.1M H2C2O4, 6M HCl, and 6M NH40H.
2. Step 2: Drop 5mL 0.1M CaCl2 into each tube.
3. Step 3: Add 1mL 0.1M Na2C2O4 to tube #1. Then, observe the color of tube #1.
4. Step 4: Add 1mL 0.1M H2C2O4 to tube #2. Then, observe the color and compare it with tube #1.

International University, Vietnam National University - HCMC 3 CHEMISTRY LABORATORY
5. Step 5: Add 10 drops 6M HCl to tube #2. Then, observe the color change of tube #2.
6. Step 6: Then, add 10 drops 6M NH4OH to tube #2. Observe the color change.
5. TEMPERATURE EFFECTS ON EQUILIBRIA
1. Step 1: Fill a test tube with 3mL of 0.1M CoCl2.
2. Step 2: Add conc. HCl drop-by-drop. STOP when the solution turns purple
violet. DO AGAIN if deep blue appears.
3. Step 3: Divide the solution into 3 test tubes. − Tube #1:
• Observe the color change at room temperature condition. − Tube #2:
• At warm (hot water) condition. Observe the color and compare it with tube #1.
• At cool (ice bath) condition. Observe the color and compare it with tube #1. − Tube #3:
• At cool (ice bath) condition. Observe the color and compare it with tube #1
• At warm (hot water) condition. Observe the color and compare it with tube #1. III. Results and discussion
