Thermochemistry: An Ice Calorimeter Determination of Reaction Enthalpy D. F. Nachman 6/23/2010 Abstract: An ice calorimeter was used to study the reaction of magnesium metal and 1.00M sulfuric acid solution: Mg(s) + H2SO4(aq) →MgSO4(aq) + H2(g). We found the experimental molar enthalpy of reaction to be ΔH = –355 ± 17 kJ/mol at 0°C‚ 24% lower than the textbook value of ΔH° = –466.9 kJ/mol‚ reported at 25°C. Introduction Whether a chemical reaction occurs spontaneously or is driven by an outside

From the experimental data and through its analysis‚ the enthalpy of combustion for the five alcohols were determined; methanol‚ ethanol‚ propanol‚ butanol‚ and pentanol. As the line of best fit in the graph suggests‚ the enthalpy of combustion increased as the sizes of the molecules increased. This was predicted in the hypothesis and proves it to be correct. As seen on the graph‚ the enthalpy of combustion increases from 140kJ/mol for methanol‚ which has the smallest molecular mass‚ to 530kJ/mol

[pic] Fourier Series: Basic Results [pic] Recall that the mathematical expression [pic] is called a Fourier series. Since this expression deals with convergence‚ we start by defining a similar expression when the sum is finite. Definition. A Fourier polynomial is an expression of the form [pic] which may rewritten as [pic] The constants a0‚ ai and bi‚ [pic]‚ are called the coefficients of Fn(x). The Fourier polynomials are [pic]-periodic functions. Using the trigonometric

Experiment 1: Preparation of 1-Bromobutane and Reactivity of Alkyl Halides Objective: The purpose of this lab is to prepare 1-bromobutane from 1-butanol in an acid-catalyzed substitution reaction. While the reaction would be expected to occur as SN2 due to the primary nature of the substrate‚ because H2SO4 is used as a solvent‚ the conditions are very polar and the reaction can proceed via an SN1 reaction. The main objective is to obtain test results to determine the mechanism of the reaction

Determination of the Enthalpy for Decomposition of Hydrogen Peroxide Objective: To construct a coffee cup calorimeter‚ measure its calorimeter constant‚ and determine the enthalpy of decomposition and formation of hydrogen peroxide. Background: This experiment is a classic thermodynamics lab. In it‚ we attempt to measure the enthalpy (H) of a chemical reaction. The main obstacle is that this is a quantity that cannot be measured directly. It instead is observed as heat from one substance is transferred
