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

Section Assignment 3.4 Part F – The Reaction of Iron Nails with a Copper Solution Introduction: The experiment in this activity involves the reaction between a copper (II) chloride solution with iron nails and the mole ratios involved in the reaction. Measurements are taken to determine the moles of each reactant involved in the reaction and thus the number of atoms or molecules involved. Apparatus and Materials: Refer to the reaction of iron nails with a copper solution assignment in Module 3

end points and with the readings from the pH meter; we can get the equivalence points. In part I of the lab‚ the primary standard was the potassium hydrogen phthalate and the secondary standard was the sodium hydroxide solution. The differences between the two standards is that the primary standard‚ potassium hydrogen phthalate is a weak acid that reacts with NaOH compared to the secondary standard‚ sodium hydroxide that is basic and hygroscopic‚ meaning it absorbs moisture from the air. It was

Lab: STOICHIOMETRY The reaction of Iron with Copper(II) Sulfate Purpose: In this experiment we will use stoichiometric principles to deduce the appropriate equation for the reaction between metallic iron and a solution of copper (II) sulfate. This reaction produces metallic copper‚ which is seen precipitating as a finely divided red power. Materials: Flask beaker Copper solution Balance Hot plate •150 ml beaker •1 gram of iron power

Plan: Aim: The enthalpy change of combustion of a fuel is a measure of the energy transferred when one mole of fuel burns completely. A value for the enthalpy change can be obtained by using the burning fuel to heat water and using fact that 4.2j of energy are required to raise the temperature of 1g of water by 1oC. In this investigation my aim is to find the enthalpy change of combustion of a number of alcohols so that I can investigate how and why the enthalpy change is affected by the molecular

Impacts of Ammonia Ammonia impacts both the environment and human health. * Environmental Impacts * Human Health Impacts Environmental Impacts When in gaseous form‚ ammonia has a short atmospheric lifetime of about 24 hours and usually deposits near its source . In particulate form ammonia can travel much further impacting a larger area. Both gaseous and particulate ammonia contribute to eutrophication of surface waters‚ soil acidification‚ fertilization of vegetation‚ changes in ecosystems

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

I am going to investigate the enthalpy change of combustion for the alcohol homologous series. I will investigate how alcohols with increasing number of carbons affect the enthalpy change when an alcohol goes under combustion. The energy that alcohols release when being used is called the enthalpy change of combustion. This is defined as "Standard enthalpy change of combustion‚ is the enthalpy change when one mole of a substance burns completely in oxygen under standard conditions (298K‚ 100 KPa
