Compare The Molar Heat Of Vaporization Of N-Heptane

Improved Essays
The molar heat of vaporization of n-heptane for the rising T and falling T sets of data was 26.10 kJ/mol . This is the energy required to transform a given amount of n-heptane from a liquid into a gas at a certain pressure. In both table 1 and 2, the vapor pressure was gradually increased as the temperature increased. Also, the vapor pressure was decreased as the temperature decreased. This means that the data values that obtained from this experiment were true values. The isoteniscope method was used to measure the variation of vapor pressure with temperature and determine the molar heat of vaporization of n-heptane.
There are differences between the rising T and falling T sets of data. In the rising T set of data, the temperature was increased

    Experiment 2: The Size of Molecules & Avogadro’s Number Name: Julia Bland Lab Section: Tuesday A.M. (11:30) TA’s Name: Yuogi Date: October 15th Course: CHEM 1001 Abstract: Avogadro’s number is one of the vital constants in the chemistry world, used in a multitude of experimental and theoretical calculations. This lab endeavours to experimentally measure Avogadro’s number by adding drops of stearic acid into a known area of distilled water, and using this data, calculate the molecules in the monolayer. The experimental value of Avogadro’s number using stearic acid was found to be 8.689 x 1022 with a 0.144 value of range (0.1-10) being within the literature value order of magnitude. Through this experiment an understanding of the complex…

    Abstract The goal of this experiment is to understand the theory behind bomb calorimetry and use it to determine the enthalpy of combustion of naphthalene. First, the bomb calorimeter was standardized using benzoic acid and the average heat capacity of the bomb calorimeter was calculated to be 10.60.3205 kJ/K. From that, the average m, and f were found to be -526615.66kJ/mol, with a percent difference of 3.31%, -52600.0015kJ/mol with a percent difference of 1.99%, and -185.50.0013kJ/mol with a percent difference of 129.9%, respectively. Overall, the experiment showed that heats of combustions of substances can be determined via bomb calorimetry. Introduction…

    When comparing the same substance under different conditions, the combined gas law can be mathematically written as (P"1" V"1" )/T"1" = (P"2" V"2" )/T"2" . Since the conditions of the experiment were not at standard temperature and pressure, the combined gas law is required in order to calculate the corresponding volume of hydrogen gas at STP. Single displacement reactions were also…

    NTRODUCTION In this experiment the validity of Gas Laws were observed and the relationship of two variables, temperature and volume, against pressure was tested. Gas Laws are encompassed by the Ideal Gas Law in which PV=nRT observes the general behavior of a gas under ideal conditions in terms of pressure(P), volume(V), moles of gas(n), gas constant(R), and temperature(T). The Ideal Gas Law is a combination of Boyle 's Law, Charles ' Law and Avogadro 's Law and was first introduced in 1834 by Emile Clapeyron.…

    Formal Lab Report: Molar Volume of a Gas at STP Abstract: The purpose of this experiment is to find out how to experimentally determine what the volume of a mole of H₂(g) is at STP by using gas laws. The hypothesis for the experiment is that if H₂(g) is produced at RT and STP, Avogadro’s law can be used to experimentally determine the amount of H₂(g) because equal gases at the same pressure and temperature have the same amount of particles. In order to find the molar volume, hydrogen gas was produced in a eudiometer tube by reacting magnesium and hydrogen chloride.…

    Purpose: The objective is to separate the heterogeneous mixture of salt, iron filings, and salt into each pure form using filtration, evaporation, and magnetism. Background: When separating a mixture, preferably to separate a mixture that includes a soluble liquid and a insoluble solid, filtration is the best because solid molecules are bigger than liquid molecules. A filter contains pores that are small enough to let small partials though the pores while holding back the larger particles. Magnetism is ideal for separating mixtures of two solids with one part having magnetic properties.…

    Everything is made of atoms, which are the smallest representative parts of each of the ninety-two elements that occur in nature. Elements are either metals, such as iron, copper or calcium or non-metals such as carbon, oxygen or nitrogen. Chemistry is concerned with the way atoms link together to form molecules, which are the natural chemical units of matter. Molecules represent the smallest particle of a chemical compound which retains the characteristics and chemical properties of the compound. With the rare exception of certain single atom molecules, almost all molecules consist of two or more atoms linked together.…

    Solids, Liquids, and Gases Solid, Liquids, and Gases are very interesting types of states of matter; however, they are distinct from one another. As already mentioned in class before, matter is everything that takes up space and its right to say that the space that is taken by matter is or a solid or a liquid or a gas. That can prove to us that this three states of matter are essential in this world we know. A solid is a sample of matter that retains its shape and density when not confined.…

    6. Based on these curves elucidate the weight loss of all the samples may be divided into three stages. In the first stage (30-180°C) weight loss of about 7% attributed to the removal of absorbed water of hydration and other volatile compounds [38]. In the second stage (180- 350°C) about 14% of weight loss was observed. This weight loss can be associated with removal of EDTA and nitrate/organic compounds [39].…
