I. Introduction:

a) Title: The Establishment of a Chemical Equation Using the Method of Continuous Variation.

b) Purpose: the continuous variation method is used to establish a chemical equation by displaying on a line graph the change/difference in temperature caused by the composition of acids and bases in the solution.

II. Apparatus and Materials:

A) Goggles
B) Acid
C) Base
D) Digital Thermometer
E) Pipet (10ml and 100 ml)
F) Buret
G) Plastic foam cup
H) Beaker

III. Outline of Procedure: For each system, measure the quantities of the reactants with a buret. Measure the reactant having the smaller volume into a plastic- foam cup; measure the other into a smaller beaker. Measure the temperature of each solution and record the average of the two temperatures to the nearest 0.01˚C. Pour the solution contained in the beaker into the foam cup and stir with the thermometer. Continue stirring for one or two minutes, then record the maximum temperature obtained to the nearest 0.01˚C. Rinse the foam cup and beaker. Wipe, dry, and make another run. When all the runs are finished, plot a graph showing delta t versus volume of reactants. From the molarity of each reactant and the volume used, find the number of moles of each used to produce the maximum temperature.

nMOH+ H(11)X = .

A) Find the number of moles of base used per mole of acid.

B) find the heat of reaction (Delta H) in kilocalories (kcal) per mole of bas used, assuming the specific heat of the solution to be 1.00 Cal/degree-gram and the density of the solution to be 1.00 g/ml. use the delta t for the run nearest to that producing a maximum temperature in which there is an excess of acid used, or the value at the maximum of your curve.

C) Write a completely balanced equation for your

    From the results recorded it was identified that activity A and C had exothermic reactions, whilst activity B had an endothermic reaction. Each of the activities had initially begun with 23.4/8/9oC, however, within one minute of adding the 2nd reactants, the results began showing, as seen from the graph. Activity A and C had risen in temperature, with A gaining 4oC and in total of 2 minutes having the temperature of 27.9oC along with C increasing by 2.2oC and within 2 minutes of the experiment having the temperature of 26oC. Activity B however was the anomaly in the test, as the temperature went lower, by 1.9oC as within 2 minutes, the Ammonium Chloride and water had the temperature of 21oC. Furthermore the line graph shows Activity A and C rising to its highest peak, although it eventually reduces. Activity A for example, was rising until it reached 27.9oC and it continuously decreased, until the 10 minute mark had reached having the final temperature similar to the initial temperature. A similar thing occurred to Activity C however, as its highest peak was 26oC (2 minutes in the test), and the final temperature having a 0.1oC difference from the initial temperature.…

    We dispensed each fluid into the small test tubes by using the correct amounts on the given chart. The test tubes were tested for temperature by placing it in hot water baths at various temperatures. Test tubes 2 & 3 were placed in a beaker at room temperature, 22°C. The rest of the test tubes were placed in hot bathes with a waiting period of ten minute interval. We placed test tubes 4 & 5 in 50°C, 6 & 7 at 40°C, 10 & 11 in 60°C, 12 & 13 in 70°C, and 14 & 15 in 80°C. We placed a thermometer on the test tubes…

    Application of linear algebraic equation for chemical engineering problem The chemical engineering system models often outcome of set of linear algebraic equations. These problems may range in complexity from a set of two simultaneous linear algebraic equations to a set involving 1000 or even 10,000 equations. The solution of a set two or three linear algebraic equations can be obtained easily by the algebraic elimination of variables or by the application of cramer’s rule. However for systems involving five or more equations the algebraic elimination method becomes too complex. In this section, we give several examples of systems drawn from chemical engineering applications which yield sets of simultaneous linear algebraic equations. In the following sections of this unit we discuss few methods for the numerical solution of such problems and demonstrate the application of these methods on the personal computer. Material and energy balances are the primary tools of chemical engineers. Such balances applied to multistage or multicomponent processes result in sets of equations. The general form of conserved quantity (Φ) in the chemical engineering system is given below…
