energy and heat associated with chemical reactions and/or physical transformations. A reaction may release or absorb energy‚ and a phase may change‚ such as in melting and boiling. Thermochemistry focuses on these energy changes‚ particularly on the system ’s energy exchange with its surroundings. In combination with entropy determinations‚ it is used to predict whether a reaction is spontaneous or non-spontaneous‚ favourable or unfavourable. Chemical reactions can be divided into two based on the

Abstract. This report is about how to standardize a Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH) solution by titrating it with pure sample of Potassium acid Phthalate (KHC8H4O4). This experiment has two sections. The first section is to standardize the Sodium Hydroxide by titration. Three sample of 0.7 – 0.9 g of solid KHP are place into each of the three numbered Erlenmeyer flasks. 50 ml of distilled water are added to each three of it from graduated cylinder and constantly shake it until the KHP solution are completely

Thermochemistry: An Ice Calorimeter Determination of Reaction Enthalpy Shannon Wedepohl 9/17/13 Abstract: During this experiment‚ an ice calorimeter was used to measure the change in volume in milliliters of magnesium metal and 1.00 M of sulfuric acid. We found the experimental molar enthalpy of the reaction to be ∆H = -370 ± 1 kJ/mol at 0˚C. This compares with an expected value of -466.9 kJ/mol at 25 ˚C‚ a 20.75% difference. Introduction: Many chemical reactions truly only encompass changes

CHEMISTRY DETERMINATION OF ENTHALPY CHANGE OF NEUTRALIZATION IA Criteria Assessed: DCP CE MS Introduction When an 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 alkali‚ forming water. The identity of salt will depend on the nature of the acid and alkali used. H+(aq) + OH- (aq) → H2O(L) The combination of H+ and OH- ions in this way releases energy. In this practical‚ the

materials and soap making Soap making requires two major raw materials: * Fats and oils Fats and oils are esters of fatty acids and glycerol. These are obtained from natural substances which are classified into three: a. Nut oils Cold process soap making is the most suitable for this type of oil which is also characterized by large proportion of fatty acids. Nut oils saponify easily with strong alkali soulution. Example: coconut oil‚ palm kernel oil b. Hard fats Slow-lathering soaps

AIM:- To investigate how heat is given out in neutralizing sodium hydroxide (NaOH) using different concentrations of Hydrochloric Acid. Background Information:- Substances that neutralize acids are called alkalis. An acid is a substance that forms hydrogen ions (H+ ) when placed in water. It can also be described as a proton donor as it provides H+ ions. An example of an acid is hydrochloric acid (HCl)‚ Sulphuric acid (H2SO4) etc. An alkali is a soluble base and forms hydroxyl

Thermochemistry: An Ice Calorimeter Determination of Reaction Enthalpy Curtis M. Franklin Thursday‚ February 14‚ 2013 ABSTRACT An ice calorimetric measurement was used to determine that a reaction involving solid magnesium metal and 1.00M sulfuric acid produces an experimental a value of ∆H = -226 ± 28 kJ/mol at 0°C. This is about 48.4% lower than the expected value reported at 25°C. Introduction Many chemical reactions exhibit themselves by exchanging heat energy‚ either be absorbing

Chemistry Internal Assessment 2011 Candy Au Introduction The reaction between zinc and copper (II) sulphate is endothermic. If an excess of zinc powder is added to a measured amount of aqueous copper (II) sulphate in a calorimeter and the temperature change is recorded over a period of time‚ the enthalpy change of the reaction can be experimentally determined. Assumption 1. Mass of H2O in 100cm3 of CuSO4 solution is 100g 2. Specific heat of solution is 4.18 kJ kg-1 K-1 which is the

An Ice Calorimeter Determination of Reaction Enthalpy 9/11/2014 Introduction: A chemical reaction often indicated by a transfer of energy measured in heat. By measuring this heat transfer in a constant pressurized environment‚ the enthalpy of the reaction can be used to infer certain information about a specific reactions reactants and products. The transfer of heat from outside sources in would be described as an endothermic reaction. Contrary‚ when a reaction releases heat out

Standardisation of a Solution of Sodium Hydroxide: Introduction: In a lot of cases it isn’t possible to prepare a solution by accurate weighing of the solute‚ dissolving in water and diluting to volume. There are many possible reasons for this‚ but in the case of sodium hydroxide‚ the solid absorbs moisture from the air‚ and also reacts with carbon dioxide from the air. In that case‚ it cannot be accurately weighed in air. In an experiment like this‚ a solution of the approximate required concentration
