energy and heat associated 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

comparing the average amount of NaOH and HCl needed for Neutralization in each Condition 4. HCl + NaOH H2O + NaOH Already Balanced Conclusion: In Conclusion‚ the effect of increasing the volume of HCl‚ is that the amount of NaOH needed to neutralize HCl is the almost the initial volume of HCl. In Condition 2 Trial 2 the initial volume of HCl was 8.0 mL‚ the substance stayed pink at 16.0 mL‚ so the amount of NaOH needed for neutralization was 8.0 mL. In the other conditions and trials the

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

Calorimeter and of the Enthalpy of an Acid-Base Reaction Abstract The purpose of this lab was to first‚ determine the specific heat capacity of a homemade calorimeter‚ and second‚ to calculate the enthalpy of reaction for an acid-base reaction between 6M KOH and 6M HNO3. To determine the specific heat capacity of the calorimeter‚ two differing temperatures of water were measured and volume was measured and mixed within the calorimeter. The enthalpy of reaction for an acid-base reaction was found by

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

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:
Premium Thermodynamics Energy Temperature
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

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
