The purpose of this lab was to use a calorimeter to learn when energy is being released or absorbed in a chemical reaction. My lab partner and I had to determine the heat exchanged when solid magnesium hydroxide is mixed with solid citric acid‚ using a coffee cup calorimeter. Given that citric acid is soluble in water is the property that makes this reaction possible. The first law of thermodynamics and Hess’s law are also present within this experiment. Knowing the difference between endothermic

1. Introduction In the study of Thermochemistry‚ reactions are quantitatively analyzed to determine the amount of heat that has been transferred‚ whether released or absorbed‚ between the system and its surroundings. Such data is important in realizing the properties of different types of reactions along with the elements and compounds of which they are comprised. However‚ it can be difficult to derive the exact enthalpy in a reaction when multiple processes occur simultaneously. A method

The purpose of this lab was to see which solutions are soluble and which are not. We were able to see this by mixing certain solutions together and observing changes that occurred. The procedure for this experiment included a few different steps. The first steps were to add the nitrate solutions into the lettered parts of the 96-well plate. Once you were done with that‚ you were supposed to add the sodium solutions to the numbered parts of the 96-well plate‚ so that the solutions were added together

Heat of Neutralization Lab Objective: The objective of this lab was to measure‚ using a calorimeter‚ the energy changes accompanying neutralization reactions. Background: Chemical changes are always accompanied by a change in energy‚ typically as heat. If the reaction releases heat (ΔH < 0) then the reaction is exothermic. If the reaction absorbs heat (ΔH > 0) then the reaction is endothermic. The quantity of heat is measured experimentally by having the reaction take place in an insulated container called a

Indirect determination of ∆H via Hess’s law Conclusion & Evaluation Research question: What is the ∆H/mol of hydration of CuSO4 (anh)? The ∆H/mol of hydration of CuSO4 (anh) is -70.2‚ according to the experiment done in class. It was determined by applying the Hess’s law‚ using two reactions 1) CuSO4-5H2O ----> CuSO4 (aq) + 5H2O 2) CuSO4 (anh) -----> CuSO4 (aq) According to the Hess’s Law‚ which states that the total enthalpy change for a chemical reaction is the same disregarding the

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
