Chemistry Internal Assessment: Determining the Enthalpy Change of a Displacement Reaction AIM: To determine the enthalpy change for the reaction between copper(II) sulfate and zinc. BACKGROUND THEORY: Bond breaking is endothermic while bond forming is exothermic. The reaction between copper(ll) sulfate and zinc is exothermic as the energy required to form the bonds of the products is greater than the energy required to break the bonds of the reactants. In an exothermic reaction‚ heat is

Calorimetry: Enthalpy of Neutralization Introduction: The purpose of this lab experiment was to determine the molar concentration of the unknown HCl by using a coffee cup calorimeter. A coffee cup calorimeter is made of Styrofoam cups with a thermometer that is placed from the top and into the calorimeter to measure the temperature as the reaction happens. The Styrofoam cup used for the calorimeter creates an isolated system as it acts as a heat insulator between the cup and the surrounding

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

Introduction: Thermochemistry is the branch of chemistry that studies the 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

insulating substances‚ such as the plastic foam in coffee cups‚ require a large amount of energy to increase their temperatures. Anyways‚ the equation used to figure out energy needed to increase temperature is: Q (Heat Energy) = mass x Specific heat x Change in Temperature To determine the specific heat with the use of a calorimeter ‚ the equation is : QSubstance = -[ Qwater + QCalorimeter] which translates into (mcΔT)Substance = - [(mcΔT)Water + (CΔT)Calorimeter] Materials: Coffee-cup calorimeter

Using colorimetry to find the order of a reaction introduction Coloured solutions absorb some of the wavelengths in the visible region of the electromagnetic spectrum. A colorimeter can be used to measure the amount of light absorbed by a solution (the absorbance) and this is proportional to the concentration of the coloured species present. In this experiment you will use a colorimeter to investigate the reaction between bromine and methanoic acid:- Br2 (aq) + HCOOH (aq) ↓ 2Br-
