The Calorimetric Determination of Enthalpy and Entropy Changes of the Thermal Decomposition of Sodium Sulphate Decahydrate Abstract Sodium sulphate decahydrate thermally decomposes to anhydrous sodium sulphate at 50⁰ C and cools to form anhydrous sodium sulphate. Using Hess's Law the enthalpy and entropy changes of this process can be determined in order to deduce the spontaneity of the reaction. The transition temperature was determined by melting the hydrated crystals at 50⁰ C and allowing…

reaction that is either endothermic or exothermic. Endothermic is the absorption of heat. This is when the pack gets hotter. Exothermic is the release of heat. This is when the pack gets colder. The enthalpy of dissolution for these salts determines rather they can be used in the hot or cold packs. The enthalpy of dissolution is the measurement of energy released or absorbed when a solute dissolves in a solvent. In this case the measurement of energy released or absorbed when the salt dissolves…

The purpose of this experiment was to determine the thermodynamic properties of the entropy, enthalpy and free energy, as well as the solubility product of borax as a function of temperature from the dissolution of borax in an aqueous solution. Thermodynamics is the study of heat and its transformations. The properties of thermodynamics are entropy, enthalpy and free energy. The properties of thermodynamics can be viewed in terms of spontaneity. Spontaneity is a spontaneous change of a system…

indicate that the adsorption of stearic acid complex is feasible and spontaneous. The enthalpy(ΔH) and entropy(ΔS) 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…

exothermic process as it yielded a heat change of ∆H= -1316.700J. The final reading of the thermometer displayed an increase of temperature from its initial temperature which is an indication of heat being released as in an exothermic process. The molar enthalpy change was calculated to be -65.835Kj/mole while the theoretical calculation is -55.800Kj/mole. The information yielded a percent error of 17.984% which can be explained by a possible inaccurate reading of the thermometer to the tenth…

This law is a manifestation that enthalpy is a state function. (UCDAVIS Chem Wiki 2015). The definition of Hess’s Law is that the heat of any ∆H○f for a specific reaction is equals to the sum the heats of reaction for any set of reactions which in sum are equivalent to the overall reaction. (UCDAVIS Chem Wiki 2015) Hess’s Law is mainly due to enthalpy being a state of function, which can calculate the overall change in enthalpy by adding up the changes for each step of the way until…

characteristic , the governing equations for air and water outlet temperatures must be solved numerically. Calculations start from the bottom of the tower and by doing the same procedure at each section continues toward the end of the tower. Variations in air enthalpy, , and the absolute humidity ratio, , can be obtained using equations (4-5). Therefore, can be calculated from eq (6). The relation for water mass flow rate, which decreases continuously from the top to the bottom of tower due…

chilled water at the inlet of the evaporator. Equation 11 express Qin in terms of enthalpy. Q_in=m ̇_ref (h_4-h_1) (11) h4 is the enthalpy before the evaporator and h1 is the enthalpy after the evaporator. Heat loss and gain from environment: Due to the refrigerant flowing through, the piping from the evaporator to the compressor is at much lower temperature relative…
