Introduction The primary objective of this lab is to be able to determine the specific heat of a reaction by using a calorimeter. A calorimeter is a device used to determine the specific heat of chemical reaction or a physical change. The specific heat a reactions is used to refer to the amount of heat that is lost or gained when one gram of a particular substance increases or decreases by one degree Celsius. When a chemical reaction occurs in an open container most of the energy gained or lost

Aim: To determine a value for the spring’s force constant‚ k. Introduction: Hooke’s Law indicates the relationship between the amount of extension‚ e‚ of a spring to the size of the force‚ F‚ acing on it. This relationship may be written as :- F = ke F = ke where k is a constant for which particular spring you are using. It is the force constant of the spring. * The force applying on the spring‚ F‚ is denoted by Newton in SI Units. (N) * The amount of extension of the spring

This law states: at constant pressure‚ the volume of a particular sample of gas is directly proportional to the absolute temperature. Charles’ law may be expressed mathematically: V ". T (constant pressure) V = kT o‚ : T = k (constant pressure) (1) (2) where V is volume‚ T is Kelvin temperature‚ and k is a proportionality constant

Title: PROP0332 Evaluation of the Gas Law Constant Abstract: The result of the change in volume was approximately 22 CC or 0.00084 mol. This translates into the average for the R constant being 83.8L*atm/K*mol. The four determinations ensured that the results were accurate because more than one trial helps somewhat prevent error. Approximately 0.20g of the Mg ribbon was used for these determinations. Introduction: 1. Theory If the temperature of a gas sample was held constant‚ its volume

typically bring about rotary motion. The Laws of Motion form the foundation of dynamics. First Law of Motion An object will remain at rest or continue to move at a constant velocity unless acted upon by an external force. F = net force If F = 0 ⇒ v = constant Third Law of Motion For every action there is an equal but opposite reaction. These two forces (action & reaction) act on different bodies. Freaction Faction = − Freaction Faction Second Law of Motion When a net external force acts on

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

Newton’s Second Law (Predicting Accelerations) Abstract: The purpose of this experiment is to study the Newton’s second law and the behavior of objects for which all forces are not balanced. In this experiment‚ a small mass m will be connected to the dynamics cart by a string. The string will pass over a pulley at the table’s edge so that as the mass falls the cart will be accelerated over the table’s force. The cart will be released from rest and allowed to accelerate over a distance. Using a

Determination of a Rate Law Megan Gilleland 10.11.2012 Dr. Charles J. Horn Abstract: This two part experiment is designed to determine the rate law of the following reaction‚ 2I-(aq) + H2O2(aq) + 2H+I2(aq) + 2H2O(L)‚ and to then determine if a change in temperature has an effect on that rate of this reaction. It was found that the reaction rate=k[I-]^1[H2O2+]^1‚ and the experimental activation energy is 60.62 KJ/mol. Introduction The rate of a chemical reaction often

has relevance and meaning in the world today. Many people know the term describes the segregation laws that took place in the 1900’s‚ however that much is not the entire story. The term Jim Crow has roots in the deep south‚ and became so popular it was later used as a nickname to describe laws that dehumanized African Americans and striped them of their rights. “Jim Crow” has its roots in the 1830’s when a white minstrel performer‚ Thomas “Daddy” Rice‚ darkened his face with burnt cork and danced
