Task 1: Assessment criterion 2.1 Determine the enthalpy change for the reaction (ΔHfθ) between zinc and copper sulphate solution‚ giving full practical details. Aim To determine the enthalpy change for the reaction between zinc and copper sulphate. Zn (s) + CuSO4 (aq) ZnSO4 (aq) + Cu (s) Introduction In the study of energy (thermodynamics) the system refers to the reacting chemicals (zinc and copper sulphate solution) and the surroundings is everything else (atmosphere

A double displacement reaction is a type of chemical reaction in which two compounds react in order to create two new chemicals. The two cations and anions switch places with each other which forms two new compounds. As an example AB+CC can switch to AD+CB. Both sides of these equations must balance out in order to be neutral. So any pairs of compounds (such as A+B) must have a total balanced charge. In this example A could have a charge of positive 2 (+2) and B could have a charge of negative

Copper sulphate experiment Introduction There are a number of different methods of making salts‚ such as the reaction of a metal with an acid. Copper metal‚ however‚ does not react with sulphuric acid and so another method must be used. In this experiment a basic copper compound (copper(II) oxide) will be reacted with sulphuric acid giving copper(II) sulphate as one of the products. Method 1. Wear goggles and keep your face away from the beaker during the reaction 2. Place 20 cmm3 sulphuric

molar enthalpy change of a neutralization reaction Principle H2SO4(aq)+2NaOH(aq)=Na2SO4(aq)+2H2O(l) The reaction is a exothermic reaction‚ when the heat released by it is absorbed by water‚ the temperature of the water increases. The heat produced by the reaction can be calculated if it is assumed that all the heat is absorbed by the water. Heat change of reaction=-heat change of water =-mH2O×cH2O×△TH2O As the water has gained the heat produced by the reaction‚ the heat change of reaction is negative

Thermodynamics – Enthalpy of Reaction and Hess’s Law I. Purpose The purpose of this lab is to verify Hess’s Law through the three reactions of NaOH and HCl‚ NH4Cl and NaOH‚ and NH3 and HCl. The sum of the enthalpies of the first two reactions should equal the enthalpy of the third reaction. II. Background Hess’s Law is used to determine the enthalpy of a reaction from adding two or more preceding reactions. To determine the enthalpies of certain chemical reactions‚ the change in must

In Reaction 1‚ the mass of the pre-cut copper wire was measured with watch glass on the analytical balance‚ the mass was recorded using as many significant figures as possible on Table 2. The copper wire was bended into a circle and laid flat on the bottom of the 250 mL beaker. Inside the fume hood‚ 4mL 16M of HNO3 was added into the 250mL beaker that contained the copper wire. The copper wire was completely dissolved by swirling the beaker. The observation was recorded in Table 3. For Reaction 2

mass of copper wire was 1.250g but the recovered copper was only 0.120 subtracting the mass of the recovered copper with beaker from the tare beaker mass. So the percentage yield resulted only to 9.6% it is very little‚ and it may be due to many possible sources from doing the steps. Adding too much or too little of a compound to the copper solution‚or the loss of copper during transport or by being left on the stirring rod. Another situation which was a source of error is when the copper solution

1. For Part 2: Single-Displacement Reactions: For each of the four single-displacement reactions‚ describe what happened in each well. If a chemical reaction occurred‚ write a balanced equation for it. Then using the A‚ B symbols‚ write a general equation for a single-displacement reaction. Here are the chemical formulas of the reactants for each reaction: • zinc – Zn copper sulfate – CuSO4 • aluminum – Al copper sulfate – CuSO4 • zinc – Zn silver nitrate
