  • Misrepresentation Of Wintertime: The Structure Of A Snow

    1281 Words  | 6 Pages

    One common misrepresentation of wintertime is the structure of a snowflake. Snowflakes are most likely depicted and drawn as having eight sides, but in actuality snowflakes have six sides which is something that not many people are aware of. Proving this fact can be as simple as collecting a sample of falling snow and viewing it under a microscope. The basis of a snowflake, and its hexagonal shape, is etched down to what holds it together: ice crystals. The atmosphere contains a plethora of ice crystals

    a thermodynamic property of a chemical substance, a chemical reaction, a physical change or chemical phenomenon. BACKGROUND INFORMATION Standard enthalpy change of solution, ∆Hsolnø, is the enthalpy change when one mole of a substance dissolves in water to form a solution of infinite dilution under standard conditions.1 The standard enthalpy change can either be exothermic or endothermic. An exothermic reaction is a reaction where energy is released as a form of heat or light. This is usually denoted

  • The Mpemba Effect: Hot Water Freezes Faster Than Cold Water

    1149 Words  | 5 Pages

    certain circumstances and experimental parameters, it is observed that hot water freezes faster than cold water which sounds implausible since hot water, with a higher temperature than cold water, has a higher amount of internal energy which has to be lost before it starts to change its state and turn into ice. The effect got its name from Erasto Mpemba who discovered the effect that hot water freezes faster than cold water after he discovered that hot ice-cream freezes first before cold ice-cream

  • The Hydrologic Cycle: The Water Cycle

    745 Words  | 3 Pages

    Water cycle The water cycle, also known as the hydrologic cycle, is the process by which water moves from place to place above, on, and below the Earth 's surface. This is the process by which water moves around the Earth to different places. The total amount of water on the Earth is relatively unchanging, and it has remained about the same since our planet 's formation. As the planet cooled, water vapor present at its formation condensed to fill the oceans and other places, like inland lakes and

  • Boiling Water With Ice Lab Report

    822 Words  | 4 Pages

    Chemistry 24 March 2016 Boiling Water with Ice Lab Purpose: The purpose of this experiment was to demonstrate how the pressure inside and outside the flask was used to make the water boil. Hypothesis: If we heat water inside a container, then place a rubber stopper in the flask then the water will boil if ice is added to the top because the ice will cool down the water molecules and condense the molecules inside the container causing the pressure inside to decrease and the water to boil. Data/observations:

  • Benzoic Acid And O-Toluic Acid Lab Report

    1592 Words  | 7 Pages

    The specific purpose of this experiment is to determine the composition of vapor and liquid phases for different mixtures of a pair of volatile liquids using refractive values and distillation techniques involving the construction of two different types of phase diagrams. Moreover, these different phase diagram might be analyzed and compared individually in order to have a better understanding about the multiple types of phase equilibrium and phase change that occurs. For the procedure, the two components

    separation of a compound that is immiscible with water. Steam distillation utilizes Raoults Law pertaining to vapor pressures and the fact that immiscible liquids will boil at a lower temperature than the boiling points of the pure compounds, as to not decompose the compounds. Excess water is used to increase the vapor pressure of water to reach

    hydrochloric acid was placed in a eudiometer and decanted with deionized water. A piece of magnesium ribbon was trapped in a copper wire cage in the eudiometer in order to keep it in place as the more dense hydrochloric acid diffused downward in the inverted eudiometer. The eudiometer was placed in a water bath and the magnesium ribbon and hydrochloric acid reacted to form hydrogen gas. The rubber stopper was removed in order to balance the water levels in the eudiometer and the bath. The process was repeated

  • Lab Report Determining Unknowns Through Distillation

    767 Words  | 4 Pages

    less time consuming, fractional distillation is more accurate, and is better at separating the components, especially with complex mixtures. When carrying out distillation, boiling a liquid solution allows the vapor to pass through a condenser to cool and then condense. The pure, condensed vapor is now a distillate and is then collected in a receiving flask. The distillate is collected in a flask to isolate it form the rest of the mixture having a different boiling point. By recording the first drop

  • Density Of Balloon Essay

    762 Words  | 4 Pages

    The less dense hot air has enough lifting power to cause the balloon to float and rise into the air. • Cold Water Vapor: What causes a cloud to sink to the earth surface and we call it fog. Tiny droplets of water are present in clouds and fog. If the surrounding warm air is cooled it sinks since it is denser, and at the same time the water as a gas is condensed into tiny droplets of water. Application: Liquid Nitrogen Demonstration the white fog coming from the liquid nitrogen container is having

  • Forms Of Change Lab Report

    happening to the particles in the water as it is being heated? How does this impact the state? When heat is added to a substance, the particles in the water vibrate faster. As the particles started to vibrate faster, the space between atoms increased. The motion and spacing of the particles determines the state of matter of the substance. Since the spacing between the molecules determines its state, the end result was a change of state from liquid (water) to gas (water vapor). What forms of Change of State

  • Fractional Distillation Lab Report

    1098 Words  | 5 Pages

    Aim The purpose of this experiment was to use fractional distillation technique to separate cyclohexane and toluene. Background Information Distillation is a technique which is used for separating two or more volatile products based on differences in their boiling points. Distillation can be used to separate a volatile solvent from a non-volatile product and separate a volatile product from non-volatile impurities. Simple distillation consists of a round-bottom flask, a distilling head, a condenser

  • Effectiveness Of Simple And Simple Distillation

    1938 Words  | 8 Pages

    Abstract The experiment was performed in order to compare the effectiveness of Simple and Fractional distillation in separation of solid impurities from liquid and liquids with difference in boiling point higher than 25⁰C. The distillation curves of both processes were graphed on each case and compared. The main source of possible error was discussed and the way to improve the experimental procedure was proposed. It was concluded that the Fractional distillation is more efficient procedure than

    for the Erlenmeyer flask and by using a pin, a hole was made into the cap to insure that the gas vapors would escape during the heating process, later the Erlenmeyer flask was measured after the heating process when the gas was fully condensed; however, this procedure effected the results collected. With the usage of the aluminum foil it had resulted the presence of excess moisture build up from the water bath which then had increased the mass of the gas that had been condensed due to it being measure

    third trial was much better than that of the first trial. At a value of 7.1% and 3.2% respectively, the error that occurred during the first trial did not persist into the rest of the trials. However, excess water on the lighter attributed to the error across all three trials. The excess water on the lighter gave it a larger mass when measured using the triple beam balance. Due to this, the mass of butane collected was slightly inaccurate, causing errors in the calculation of the molar mass of
