Specific Heat Lab Objective: Find the specific heat of the unknown metal given using calorimetry. Background Theory: In every reaction‚ energy is transferred between a system and its environment. A system encompasses the substances that are involved in a reaction‚ and everything else in the universe other than the system is called the environment. The standard SI unit of energy is Joules (J). Temperature is the level of excitement of the atoms in a substance. In most cases‚ energy is

Calculations/Analysis Through this lab‚ we are now able to calculate the molar heat of combustion for paraffin‚ since we have the difference of the mass in candle before/after and the periodic table of elements (for converting g to moles of paraffin). Molar heat of combustion = (kJ of heat)/(mole of fuel) However‚ we do not know how much heat was released nor the mole of fuel (paraffin). In order to find the amount of heat released‚ we use the formula: g=mcΔT. Here‚ g represents the heat‚ m represents the mass

Heat engine lab Intro: when an engine runs‚ it pumps pistons that move up and down and provide energy to the engine to it to go. These pistons move because of pressure and heat. This work done on the system is not only mechanical but its also thermodynamic. When a piston undergoes one full cycle its displacement is zero because it comes back to its resting place. This means that its net thermodynamic work to be done should also be zero‚ as well as its total internal energy. In order to test this

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 reaction. To

about the how‚ why‚ and the belief system to get a better understanding of what offenders are thinking. There have been many critics of rational choice theory in relation to neutralizations; however‚ neutralizations are strategies that are typically used by criminals to justify their actions. There has been five main neutralization techniques that I believe truly give us a better look into an offenders thoughts and decision in regards to crime (Maruna & Copes‚ 2005). First‚ to mention the five techniques

Enthalpy of Neutralization Introduction Energy changes always accompany chemical reactions. If energy‚ in the form of heat‚ is liberated the reaction is exothermic and if energy is absorbed the reaction is endothermic. Thermochemistry is concerned with the measurement of the amount of heat evolved or absorbed. The heat (or enthalpy) of neutralization (∆H) is the heat evolved when an acid and a base react to form a salt plus water. Eq. 1 HNO2(aq) + NAOH(aq) → NaNO2(aq) + H2O(l) + Q Q in the

___________________ Date ___________________ NEUTRALIZATION TITRATIONS INTRODUCTION The neutralization of hydronium or hydroxide ion to form water is widely used as the basis for volumetric determinations of acids‚ bases and salts of weak acids. The reaction is characterized by a rapid change in pH near the equivalence point‚ a change that is readily detected by an acid-base indicator or that can be followed electrically by use of a pH meter. Neutralization titrations are performed with standard

Determining the enthalpy of neutralization by calorimetry Anam Iqbal Partner’s name: Danielle Hodgson TA’s name: Karinna Section # 003 Due date: November 24‚ 2009 Introduction The purpose of the experiment is to determine the enthalpy of neutralization reactions by calorimetry. Calorimetry‚ is the science of measuring the amount of heat. All calorimetric techniques are therefore based on the measurement of heat that may be generated (exothermic process) or consumed (endothermic process). The
