Determining an enthalpy change of a displacement reaction Aim: To determine the enthalpy change for the displacement reaction between zinc powder and copper (II) sulphate solution. Zn (s) + Cu2+ (aq) → Cu2+ (s) + Zn2+ (aq) Theory: For the displacement reaction‚ an excess amount of zinc powder is added to the measured amount of aqueous copper (II) sulphate. The temperature change over a period of time has to be measured and thus‚ the enthalpy change for the reaction can be measured. The equation

Determining an Enthalapy Change of Reaction Purpose of Experiment The purpose of this experiment is to determine the enthalapy change for the displacement reaction: Zn(s) + CuSO4(aq) Cu(s) + ZnSO4(aq) Hypothesis With this experiment I can also not make a hypothesis‚ because we did actually not do the experiment‚ but we were told that the temperature would make a sudden drop ‚ but we can measure the ΔT of the surrounding. The reaction is endothermic because the system will take in energy

Firstly I will measure 20ml of Copper Sulphate solution (CuSO4) in a measuring cylinder‚ for precise accuracy‚ and then pour the solution into test tube. I will place the test tube into a beaker and insulate the test tube‚ for minimum heat loss. (As shown in the diagram above.) 2.Secondly I will measure the required amount of Zinc (Zn) on a weighing scale‚ again for precise accuracy. I will then measure the starting temperature using a thermometer. Next I will pour the Zinc into the test tube containing

with chemical reactions and/or physical transformations. A reaction may release or absorb energy‚ and a phase may change‚ such as in melting and boiling. Thermochemistry focuses on these energy changes‚ particularly on the system ’s energy exchange with its surroundings. In combination with entropy determinations‚ it is used to predict whether a reaction is spontaneous or non-spontaneous‚ favourable or unfavourable. Chemical reactions can be divided into two based on the energy changes that occur

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

Copper Sulphate Calibration Aim The objective of this experiment is to determine the unknown concentrations of solutions. Introduction With the use of absorption of light a spectrophotometer sends UV wavelengths through solutions to determine their concentrations. The light absorbed is measured as the atoms‚ molecules and ions absorb the wavelengths of light that the spectrophotometer gives off (Meah‚2013). The level of light transmitted defines the amount of light absorbed‚ for instance‚ the lower
