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 by

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

molar enthalpy change of a neutralization reaction Principle H2SO4(aq)+2NaOH(aq)=Na2SO4(aq)+2H2O(l) The reaction is a exothermic reaction‚ when the heat released by it is absorbed by water‚ the temperature of the water increases. The heat produced by the reaction can be calculated if it is assumed that all the heat is absorbed by the water. Heat change of reaction=-heat change of water =-mH2O×cH2O×△TH2O As the water has gained the heat produced by the reaction‚ the heat change of reaction is negative

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

the Enthalpy of a Chemical Reaction All chemical reactions involve an exchange of heat energy; therefore‚ it is tempting to plan to follow a reaction by measuring the enthalpy change (∆H). However‚ it is often not possible to directly measure the heat energy change of the reactants and products (the system). We can measure the heat change that occurs in the surroundings by monitoring temperature changes. If we conduct a reaction between two substances in aqueous solution‚ then the enthalpy of

between the end point and the equivalence point is that the end point is just an indicator of when the color changes and titration stops. The equivalence point is when the H+ ions are neutralized by OH- ions‚ which occurs when both are used up in the reaction causing the pH to be 7. The molarity of NaOH from the indicator was exactly .500 M‚ but the molarity for the equivalence point from the second derivative was .688 M. This resulted in a range of roughly 27.3%‚ which is way over the 15% error mark

Introduction Enthalpy change‚ ΔH‚ is defined as the heat output of a system as it goes through a reaction under constant pressure. It is an important aspect of thermochemistry‚ which is the study of energy changes during a chemical or physical reaction . When we calculate enthalpy change‚ we always assume that the pressure is constant. We are able to calculate enthalpy change numerous ways‚ notably by the increase in heat‚ Q‚ given by an exothermic reaction or the heat absorbed by an endothermic

2. a) Andrea’s balance is more precise than Andrew’s. b) Brian’s balance is more accurate than Brenda’s. What important characteristics of the four balances are implied by these statements? Give examples. Andrea will be able to read her balance to a greater number of significant figures than Andrew since her balance is more precise. Her successive measurements will also be less variable than Andrew’s measurements. Ex. If three measurements are taken by Andrea (1.7 mL‚ 1.7 mL and
