Determination of Reaction Enthalpy Shannon Wedepohl 9/17/13 Abstract: During this experiment‚ an ice calorimeter was used to measure the change in volume in milliliters of magnesium metal and 1.00 M of sulfuric acid. We found the experimental molar enthalpy of the reaction to be ∆H = -370 ± 1 kJ/mol at 0˚C. This compares with an expected value of -466.9 kJ/mol at 25 ˚C‚ a 20.75% difference. Introduction: Many chemical reactions truly only encompass changes by exchanging heat

end points and with the readings from the pH meter; we can get the equivalence points. In part I of the lab‚ the primary standard was the potassium hydrogen phthalate and the secondary standard was the sodium hydroxide solution. The differences between the two standards is that the primary standard‚ potassium hydrogen phthalate is a weak acid that reacts with NaOH compared to the secondary standard‚ sodium hydroxide that is basic and hygroscopic‚ meaning it absorbs moisture from the air. It was

Introduction Enthalpy change‚ ΔH‚ is defined as the heat output of a system as it goes through a reaction under constant pressure. It is an important aspect of thermochemistry‚ which is the study of energy changes during a chemical or physical reaction . When we calculate enthalpy change‚ we always assume that the pressure is constant. We are able to calculate enthalpy change numerous ways‚ notably by the increase in heat‚ Q‚ given by an exothermic reaction or the heat absorbed by an endothermic

Round-Trip Copper Reactions Lab The purpose of this lab was to evaluate our skills of decanting a supernatant liquid without losing the solid and successful completion of a series of reactions. This was done through five chemical reactions involving copper. In this lab‚ elemental copper was put through five different chemical reactions in order to convert it into different compounds. By the end of the fifth reaction‚ the copper was back to its elemental state. In the first reaction‚ 0.95 g of

Plan: Aim: The enthalpy change of combustion of a fuel is a measure of the energy transferred when one mole of fuel burns completely. A value for the enthalpy change can be obtained by using the burning fuel to heat water and using fact that 4.2j of energy are required to raise the temperature of 1g of water by 1oC. In this investigation my aim is to find the enthalpy change of combustion of a number of alcohols so that I can investigate how and why the enthalpy change is affected by the molecular

calculate the enthalpy change of neutralization of the given pairs of acid and base. Theory: When alkali neutralizes an acid‚ a salt and water are formed. Aqueous hydrogen ions‚ H+(aq) from the acid react with the hydroxide ions‚ OH-(aq) from the alkali‚ forming water. Ionic equation: H+ (aq)+OH- (aq) → H2O (l) The identity of the salt will depend on the nature of the acid and alkali used. The combination of H+ and OH- ions in this way releases energy. In this practical‚ the enthalpy changes accompanying
