High School Students’ Conceptions about Energy in Chemical Reactions (focusing only in exothermic and endothermic reactions). Aim The aim of this study is to investigate students’ understanding of the energy concept in chemical reactions particularly in endothermic-exothermic reactions. Both qualitative and quantitative methodology was used for this investigation. A twenty-item multiple choice test was developed about the topic to measure the students’ understandings. This concept test was

Chapter 1 Chemical Reactions and Equations Q.1. Why should magnesium ribbon be cleaned before burning in air ? Ans: Magnesium ribbon is a very reactive metal. When stored it reacts with oxygen to form a layer of magnesium oxide on its surface. This layer of magnesium oxide being a stable compound prevents further reaction of magnesium with oxygen. The magnesium is cleaned before burning in air to remove this layer so that the metal can be exposed to air properly. Q.2. Write the balanced

Aldol In this preparative lab‚ an aldol (trans-p-anisalacetophenone) was produced from the reaction between p-anisaldehyde and acetophenone with the presence sodium hydroxide. The reaction also showed the importance of an enolate and the role it played in the mechanism. Sodium hydroxide acts as a catalyst in this experiment and is chosen because of its basic conditions and pH. The acetophenone carries an alpha hydrogen that has a pKa between 18 and 20. This alpha hydrogen is acidic because of its

Substitution Reactions of 3-phenyl-1-phenol‚ 2-pentanol‚ and 2‚4-dimethyl-3-pentanol Samantha Sparks‚ Isi Nosegbe and Sabrina Becker. Department of Chemistry‚ IUPUI‚ 402 N. Blackford St.‚ Indianapolis‚ IN 46202 This project was collaborated on by three different organic chemistry students‚ who individually synthesized and researched each of the three substitution reactions in this experiment.. The first reaction was an Sn2 reaction of 3-phenyl-1-propanol with NaBr and H2SO4 to create1-bromo-3-phenylpropane

Chemical Reactions Chemical reactions happen in almost everything around us. Reactions are very important in everyday life‚ and science. Chemical reactions are the changing of substances to other substances by the breaking of bonds in reactants and the formation of new bonds in products. There are different types of chemical reactions such as combination reaction‚ decomposition reaction‚ single-replacement reaction‚ double-replacement reaction‚ and combustion reaction. Combination

endothermic reaction happened everywhere around us. Basically exothermic and endothermic reaction is transfer energy to the surroundings and take in energy from the surroundings (BBC GCSE bitesize). If the reaction forward ，then is exothermic.If the reaction is the backwards ‚then is endothermic. When a reaction take place‚ the energy started to transfer from different object to the surroundings or take away energy from the surroundings. When temperature started to change.

The hypothesis If a chemical reaction occurs‚ then there will be indicators of a chemical change‚ was supported throughout this experiment. Throughout this experiment there were several reactions that took place‚ and an indicator of such chemical reactions could be seen throughout each one. The first piece of identifiable evidence was present in the first step‚ which was when copper (II) nitrate and sodium hydroxide were combined. When stirred‚ a blue precipitate formed at the bottom of the test

Coursework Rates of Reaction Research The rate of reaction tells us how quickly a chemical reaction takes place. It is important for people in industry to know how fast a reaction goes. They have to know exactly how much of their product they can make each hour‚ day or week. In a shampoo factory‚ the rate might be 100 bottles per minute. We can’t work out the rate of a reaction from its chemical equation. Equations can only tells us how much product we can get. They don’t say how quickly
