Lab Activity 8:“What’s in a name?” and “How many moles are in a swallow?”

Purpose:

The purpose of this lab investigation is to devise a set of procedures, which will successfully answer the following questions:

1. How many moles and formula units of calcium carbonate in the amount of chalk does it require to write your full name on the chalkboard?

2. How many moles and molecules of water are in a single swallow?

You must determine the materials needed, the procedures you will follow and the type of data you will be recording. Create a table that will contain this data in an organized and well-presented manner. Next time we meet for lab, you will be required to hand in a complete formal lab report created by you.
