    Calorimetry is the measurement of the quantity of heat exchanged during chemical reactions or physical changes. For example, if the energy from an exothermic chemical reaction is absorbed in a container of water, the change in temperature of the water provides a measure of the amount of heat added.…

    Calorimetry Lab Report Essay

    Start off by weighing two paracetamol tablets using some accurate scales. Record the mass down (1.15g). This had to be as accurate and precise as we could get it so we had the correct weight to start the experiment. Without this then the results we found at the end would not be accurate. A problem that could be faced with this is that the scales may not have been fully set to zero. Also it takes time for it to fully reach its weight on the reading so you may move them too quick before the right weight has been set.…

    6.03 Calorimetry Lab

    Class average for a 80 and 120 drop count was recorded to be 0.041+/- 0.005 mL/drop. If a graduated cylinder is not available there is another way of adding more of the solution. The disposable pipet can transfer 0.5mL of the solution to the chemical reaction. When comparing a 10mL graduated cylinder, a 100mL beaker, and a 50mL graduated cylinder, the most precision peace of glass wear would be the 10 mL graduated cylinder with the true volume of water (calculated), class average, and uncertainties being 9.7896 +/- 0.05mL. The 50mL graduated cylinder comes in second place with a true volume of water(calculated), class average, and uncertainties being 50.0001 +/- 0.22mL. The third peace of glassware coming in as the least accurate would be the 100 mL beaker with a true volume of water(calculated), class average, and uncertainties being 59.9999 +/- 0.82mL.…

    Thermochemistry

    We rinsed all glassware three times with deionized water then we chilled 200mL of deionized water with ice and heated 200mL of deionized water on a hot plate. We measured out 50.0mL of chilled deionized water into a graduated cylinder. We measured and recorded the mass of the empty calorimeter, and then we added the 50.0mL of chilled deionized water and recorded the mass of the calorimeter with the chilled deionized water. We added the magnetic stirrer to the calorimeter and turned on the stirrer to a slow stirring rate. We placed a temperature probe in the calorimeter and placed the lid on the calorimeter. We then measured out 50.0mL of heated deionized water into a graduated cylinder and placed a temperature probe in the graduated cylinder. We recorded the initial temperatures of the chilled and heated deionized water. We added the heated…

    Your teacher will demonstrate for the class the reaction of metallic copper with concentrated nitric acid, HNO3. This must be done in the fume hood. (Caution: Avoid breathing poisonous gases. Avoid contact of skin with nitric acid. It burns skin and clothing.) One student will be asked to feel the side of the demonstration beaker and report to the group. The products formed are copper(II) nitrate solution, Cu(NO3)2(aq), and nitrogen dioxide gas, NO2(g).…

    Microwave Synthesis of 5,10,15,20- Tetraphenylporphyrin

    In this green chemistry experiment of 5,10,15,20-tetraphenylporphyrin was synthesized from benzaldehyde and pyrrole. using microwave irradiation to heat the reactants., The liquid reactants are absorbed on a solid support, silica gel, which acts as a Lewis acid catalyst to facilitate the reaction. The reaction forms a porphyrinogen, which is then oxidized to the porphyrin product by atmospheric oxygen. Column chromatography is performed for the isolation and purification of tetraphenlyporphin, and the thin layer chromatography for analysis.It was concluded that the renention factor(Rf) of the 5,10,15,20- Tetraphenylporphyrin with a percent yield of 61%…

    Calorimetry And Specific Heat Lab Report

    While waiting on the water to boil, retrieve a piece of unknown metal to be identified and record its ID letter and its mass. Once the mass of the unknown metal is recorded, put the metal into the boiling water. While waiting on the water and the metal to achieve the same thermal equilibrium, get a coffee cup and measure its mass. Then pour about 50mL of water into a coffee cup, measure the mass of the water and the coffee cup and then determine the mass of the water alone (mass of water and coffee cup – mass of coffee cup). Record the temperature of the boiling water on the hot plate with the metal and then record the temperature of the water in the coffee cup before adding the metal. Use the string attached to the metal to transfer the metal from the hot water bath to the calorimeter. Using a piece of cardboard to cover the top of the calorimeter, record the temperature of the water in the calorimeter. Repeat the experimental procedure three more…
