CH 204- Intro to Chem Practice Experiment 3-Enthalpy of Chemical Reaction Dana Lucas Robin Brown TA: Chris February 19, 2018 Introduction The purpose of this experiment was to calculate the change in enthalpy of 2 reactions using Hess’ Law by using a coffee calorimeter to measure the temperature changes in the sub reactions for MgO and a neutralization reaction. Germain Hess published this law in 1840, which described the first law of thermodynamics. In Hess’ Law, “the enthalpy change in a chemical reaction is independent of any intermediate reactions; that is, it is the same whether it takes place in one or several stages”1. The change in enthalpy can be described by the equation: The enthalpy, or heat, of reaction is described as products …show more content…
50mL HCl was added to the calorimeter, which was covered with the lid and inserted with a probe. Readings were collected and then 50mL NH4OH was swiftly added to the solution, with the stir bar mixing the reaction constantly. The initial and max temperature temperatures were recorded and the change in temperature was recorded. The data was saved onto the USB. Regarding reaction 4, the duration was changed to 480 seconds. After the Styrofoam cups were restacked, 100mL HCl was added. The lid was added and the probe was instered. A watch glass was weighed, then weighed again after scooping on 1.0g MgO. After 3-4 readings were recorded, the MgO was added with the spatula, which was stirred constantly with the stir bar. The watch glass was weighed again with the remains of the MgO. Reaction 5 did not use the stock solution. It required the diluted 2MHCl. 120mL of this HCl was added to the calorimeter, which got covered by the lid and the probe was inserted. A watch glass was weighed again, first without MgO, then with 1.0g MgO. After 3-4 readings were collected, the MgO was added and stirred constantly. The watch glass was weighed then again. Weight measurements were recorded. The data was then saved onto the
The temperature probe was kept in the calorimeter until the temperature had been stabilized and was calibrated. A beaker was placed on a hot plate with dial turned between three and four. Another 100.00 ml of deionized water was added while the beaker is heating up. Using the temperature probe, the beaker was measured
Students first prepped for the lab by cleaning out the crucible. Three boiling chips were added in the crucible once it was wiped out with a paper towel. The crucible was then placed on a clay triangle two finger widths above the Fischer burner. After 10 minutes of the crucible being directly under the flame, the it was clean and students allowed time for it to cool down. Next, the students from then on used tongs to transport the crucible from weighing it and back to the clay triangle.
This research poses the question: does the temperature actually affect the rate of a chemical reaction? Alka-Seltzer has chemical energy: the potential energy
Modifications of this procedure include the use of hot plates instead of Bunsen burners, and heating t-butyl alcohol to 60-65 ℃ instead of 50 ℃. Other modifications include the use of weighing boats to measure an amount of unknown instead of weighing paper, and completing one run of unknown 2 instead of two runs of unknown 2. Summary of
In reactions, this law says that the mass of the original substance is the same after going through a reaction. This is shown with balanced chemical equations. It is needed so that the mass of the product is equivalent to the mass of the reactants. Mole ratio is the ratio of moles of one substance to the moles of another substance in a balanced equation.
Our objective was to pick the best chemical to be used in a hand warm. This chemical had to be cheap, relatively safe, and must raise the temperature by 20oC and no more. We add 6 different chemicals to water we record the inshell temperature and then add one a the 6 chemicals to the water and record the temperature change of the water. We also add cold water hot water together to find how much heat would escape the calorimeter. We found that the calorimeter absorbed 71.1J/oC. Then this information to calculate the energy that was released by all of the chemical reaction.
Materials: The materials that I will be utilizing during these experimentations are three to four ice cubes, one cup for measuring, six unblemished cups, one stopwatch, one hot water source, three tablets of Alka-Seltzer, one thermometer that measures from negative
Weighed 1 gram of NaC2H3O2 and mixed it with ionized water. Boiled 12 mL of 1.0M Acetic Acid added into a beaker containing the sodium carbonate on a hot plate until all the liquid is evaporated
Then the scientist will observe the different rates of reaction with temperature. The Boltzmann distribution of law, indicates that high temperature makes molecules gain high energy contents (pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/ja). In order to measure the reaction rate, the scientists must use the same volume of water at three different starting temperatures: hot tap
Lab Report Experiment 6 Rates of Chemical Reactions By Nikhola Mirashirova Lab Partner: Dina Abetova Section 3, Saturday October 31, 2015 Introduction Rate reaction is the measure of the change in concentration of the reactants or the change in concentration of the products per unit time.1,2 Rate law for this experiment: Rate = k(I-)m(BrO3-)n(H+)p There are several factors which affect the rate of reaction: catalyst, reactant concentration, and temperature.1,2 A catalyst is a substance that changes, increases or decreases, the rate of a chemical reaction but is not being used up during the reaction.3 It provides an alternative way, so that the rate of reaction changes.4 Catalyst, which is used in this experiment, is (NH4)2MoO (0.5 M).
Once that baseline was created its reaction rate was collected and recorded using a spectrometer. For the experimental variable (boiling enzyme) the measurements were the same as the baseline. Before the two test tubes were combined, both test tubed were placed in a beaker on a hot
But the difference was no bigger than 0.08, and after the values were rounded the same empirical formula was deduced. So the experiment can be concluded as successful. Evaluation: The method used was simple and easy to follow; however, it did not include how much oxygen was needed to react completely. Also it didn 't mention what magnesium oxide looked like after it finished reacting, so it was a guesswork of determining whether the reaction was finished or not.

It is a subcategory of the standard enthalpy of reaction and defined as the energy released with the formation of 1 mole of water (Enthalpy of neutralization, 2018). Standard enthalpy of reaction is the enthalpy change that occurs in a system when matter is transformed by a chemical reaction. All products and reactants must be in their standard state (Standard enthalpy of reaction, 2017). The standard enthalpy change can be found by dividing the heat released during the reaction by the number of moles involved in the reaction (Enthalpy of neutralization,
THE FIRST LAW OF THERMODYNAMICS First Law of Thermodynamics: The change in a system's internal energy is equal to the difference between heat added to the system from its surroundings and work done by the system on its surroundings. Though this may sound complex, it's really a very simple idea. If you add heat to a system, there are only two things that can be done -- change the internal energy of the system or cause the system to do work (or, of course, some combination of the two).
