So in wood combustion we observe solid wood disappear and be converted to gas products‚ leaving only some ashes. These are formed by minor components of wood that cannot burn and remain solid. 1. Explain what happens to the mass of a tree when it catches fire and burns until only ashes remain. You must include a chemical equation; discuss the chemical reactions taking place‚ and the law of conservation of mass in your answer. The wood from the tree has undergone a chemical change. When you burn

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

Lab Report 3: Combustion of Magnesium and Specific Heat of a Metal C4C Jeffrey Silvin Fall 2017 Major Kittle Chem 100 T1 Introduction The purpose of this lab was to determine an experimental value for the heat of formation of MgO with Hess’s Law and then use the result to find percent error. To do so‚ approximately 50 mL of 1.0 M HCl was added to a calorimeter. Initial temperature was measured and then 0.25 g of Mg was added. After the reaction is completed the maximum temperature was recorded.

Measuring the enthalpy change of vaporisation of water You should attempt this part of the activity even if you have not seen the demonstration of the practical. 1. Calculate a value for ∆Hvap for water in KJ mol-1 using the data from the demonstration. Also‚ calculate ∆Hvap from the following data gathered by a student; 8100 J were needed to distil 2.95g of water. a) Explain why the boiling tube was surrounded with expanded polystyrene (or other similar insulation)‚ but the condenser was left

Aim To investigate the effect of molar mass on the molar heat of combustion of adjacent members of a homologous alcohol series. Introduction Chemists refer to the energy stored in a substance as the heat content or enthalpy of the substance. The heat of reaction is determined by the difference in the enthalpy between the reactants and products. The molar heat of combustion of a substance is the quantity of heat liberated when one mole of that substance is burnt completely in air. In the case

Determination of the Enthalpy for Decomposition of Hydrogen Peroxide Objective: To construct a coffee cup calorimeter‚ measure its calorimeter constant‚ and determine the enthalpy of decomposition and formation of hydrogen peroxide. Background: This experiment is a classic thermodynamics lab. In it‚ we attempt to measure the enthalpy (H) of a chemical reaction. The main obstacle is that this is a quantity that cannot be measured directly. It instead is observed as heat from one substance is transferred
