Exothermic

Introduction The reaction of Hydro Chloric Acid with Aluminum is exothermic and very dynamic. The Hydrogen produced at such temperatures can easily explode by combining with the oxygen of the atmosphere. This reaction is known as a single displacement reaction because aluminum switches with the hydrogen. When aluminum is placed in a beaker of hydrochloric acid, the reaction produces hydrogen gas and aqueous aluminum chloride. The balanced chemical equation for the reaction is 2Al + 6HCl =…

were found negative and positive values respectively. The negative value of enthalpy confirmed that the adsorption of stearic acid complex is an exothermic process. This can be due to energy released after the adsorption process being higher than that need to the solvent molecules. The negative value of enthalpy indicates that the process is exothermic and the physisorption behavior may be physical in nature and it can be easily reversed by supplying the heat equal to the adsorption system. The…

In part C, the enthalpy of formation of magnesium oxide was found by adding together three reactions, as shown in the table below. Experiments were performed to obtain the ΔHrxn value of the first two reactions in the table, which were reactions 4 and 5 respectively in the experimental section, while the ΔHrxn for the third reaction in the table was provided. Using the ΔT obtained experimentally, heat energy (q) was determined using the equation q = mCΔT + CΔT where q was the heat, m was the…

The TG and DTA curves obtained for the compounds (C1-C5) are shown in Figure 9. Table 4 lists the results of the thermal studies of these compounds with the initial and final temperatures (ºC), assignments of each decomposition stage based on mass calculation and DTA peaks. These assignments (Δm - Calcd.) are based on the structural fragments from the theoretical formulae of the compounds (C1–C5). This implies that the groups proposed in the right column of Table 4 are not necessarily the…

2000). When the temperature is decreased the position of equilibrium is moved to the right, which also results in more ammonia with a higher yield, as heat is released in this equation this is a exothermic reaction (AUS-e-TUTE, 2014) this change of heat in a system is known as enthalpy. The reaction is exothermic as the reaction favors the low temperature. More ammonia gas is produced because the reduction of temperature minuses the effect of change, and will produce more heat as it is the…

Hello I am Marcus Gonzalez a chemistry student at Texas State University and my lab partner, Colten and I where instructed to see if the combination and specific concentrations of sodium thiosulfate plus sodium hypochlorite are able to produce second degree burns on a person within 10 seconds. In order for a second degree burn to be possible we must reach a temperature of at least 56°C (133°F) in order to create burns up to third degree for the time the chemical stayed on the worker. Now the…

WHAT IS FORMALIN? Formalin is the trade name for an organic compound made by formaldehyde and water. It has the chemical formula CH2O and its chemical structure is as shown in figure.1. Uses: Formaldehyde is used mainly in the production of plastics (such as urea-formaldehyde plastics which is used in many manufacturing processes due to its useful properties such as flexural modulus, and a high heat distortion temperature, high surface hardness, low water absorption, high tensile strength, mold…

The values calculated through experimentally extrapolated values compare to the the expected theoretical values of these heats with a degree of error. In most cases the values found through experiment were higher than the expected value by one or two kilojoules. This discrepancy causes a 2-5% error in the values calculated. The causes of this degree of error could be sources of errors due to the equipment and set up of the experiment. The experiment is not a perfectly isolated system which could…

This demonstration is called Elephant’s Toothpaste because the chemical reaction produces a large foamy mess that looks like toothpaste squirting out of a tube. We want to do this project because we want to show how this science experiment works and tell the reactions of it. How It Works: This large demonstration uses hydrogen peroxide, sodium iodide and soap. First, we pour in the hydrogen peroxide, then the soap and finally the sodium iodide. The yeast contains an enzyme called Catalase…
