Sodium‚ one of many elements in the periodic table is being used in everyday life‚ it is also an essential element within your body. It is just another element‚ but one of the differences is that this element is something that most people consume every day. Sodium has played an important role in everyday life because of its uses in medicine‚ industry‚ and agriculture(Shriver). Sodium was discovered in 1807 by a man named Sir Humphrey Davy. He was well known for his discoveries of most alkali metals

of Potassium Hydroxide affecting the temperature of water that it is dissolved in. One person stirred in the different concentrations of Potassium Hydroxide while the other measured the temperature as it rose after the pellets dissolved. At times it was difficult to ensure that the pellets were completely dissolved within the solution. Raw Data Table: The temperature of water after dissolving different concentrations of Potassium Hydroxide in it. Concentration of Potassium Hydroxide (g/ml) (±0.01

calculate the enthalpy change of neutralization of the given pairs of acid and base. Theory: When alkali neutralizes an acid‚ a salt and water are formed. Aqueous hydrogen ions‚ H+(aq) from the acid react with the hydroxide ions‚ OH-(aq) from the alkali‚ forming water. Ionic equation: H+ (aq)+OH- (aq) → H2O (l) The identity of the salt will depend on the nature of the acid and alkali used. The combination of H+ and OH- ions in this way releases energy. In this practical‚ the enthalpy changes accompanying

Enthalpy‚ represented by the sign ∆H in kJ/mol‚ is the heat change in a reaction. It shows whether how much heat is released or absorbed during the reaction. If the reaction is endothermic‚ the enthalpy would be positive and if the reaction is exothermic‚ the enthalpy would be negative. During a chemical reaction‚ which consists of breaking and creating bonds‚ heat is either absorbed or released. In this lab‚ the reaction uses the disassociation of an ionic compound ammonium nitrate shown in the

A carboxylic acid is an organic acid characterized by the presence of at least one carboxyl group. The general formula of a carboxylic acid is R-COOH‚ where R is some monovalent functional group. A carboxyl group (or carboxy) is a functional group consisting of a carbonyl (RR’C=O) and a hydroxyl (R-O-H)‚ which has the formula -C(=O)OH‚ usually written as -COOH or -CO2H. Carboxylic acids are Brønsted-Lowry acids because they are proton (H+) donors. They are the most common type of organic acid. Among

LAB 6. ACIDS AND BASES: PH AND BUFFERS PURPOSE: To determine the pH of common acids and bases using a pH meter‚ pH paper‚ and red cabbage indicator. To test the effect of adding an acid or base to a buffer solution. SAFETY CONCERNS: Always wear safety goggles. Wash with soap and water if skin contacts acids or bases. ACIDS: An Acid is a substance that when dissolved in water will produce hydrogen ions‚ H+‚ in the solution. An acid that does not contain carbon is called an inorganic
