Abstract This lab is performed in order to determine the total energy in a reaction between zinc and hydrochloric acid. The reaction is done twice‚ once to measure the heat of the reaction and again to determine the work done in the system. This is because Enthalpy equals heat plus work (∆H= ∆E+W). Heat and work can be broken down further into separate components so the equation used in lab is ∆H=mc∆T + PV. Many calculations are used in the lab to find out what cannot be measured directly (ex:

Enthalpy‚ represented by the sign ∆H in kJ/mol‚ is the heat change in a reaction. It shows whether how much heat is released or absorbed during the reaction. If the reaction is endothermic‚ the enthalpy would be positive and if the reaction is exothermic‚ the enthalpy would be negative. During a chemical reaction‚ which consists of breaking and creating bonds‚ heat is either absorbed or released. In this lab‚ the reaction uses the disassociation of an ionic compound ammonium nitrate shown in the

The purpose of this experiment is to find what design of calorimeter captured the most energy from a combusted chip. To find this‚ we tested each design‚ and calculated the amount of energy it captured from a baked potato chip. The two basic forms of energy are kinetic energy and potential energy. Kinetic energy is the energy of motion. A ball has kinetic energy when it flies through the air. The ball has the ability to do work in that it can act upon other objects with when it collides.

Bomb Calorimeter What is a Bomb Calorimeter? In calorimetry‚ a bomb calorimeter is a piece of equipment used to measure the heat fluctuation of a reaction’s system‚ the changes in physical properties and the thermal capacity. How does a Bomb Calorimeter works? A calorimeter is basically used for measuring the heat of fuels as it burns at a specific temperature in order to obtain the heat energy values. The samples of fuel used can either be solid or liquid but not gas. The calorimeters is estimated

enzyme involves monitoring the change in absorbance of the reaction medium at 405 nm. Exergonic (i.e energy producing reactions) exhibit a negative free energy change. Sometimes these reactions occur spontaneously‚ but generally some energy must be supplied to initiate the reaction; in other word an energy barrier exists between the reactants and the products. The “energy barrier” represents the activation energy of a chemical reaction. In this practical the activation energy of hydrolysis
