Exothermic reaction

Identification of a Liquid Objective This experiment was performed out to determine the identity of an unknown liquid sample by investigating its solubility in water, hexane and ethyl alcohol. Also, its density and boiling point were obtained and compared to the theoretical values. Theory Chemical substances can be identified through investigation of their chemical and physical properties and then comparing the experimental values to the standard values. Physical properties do not change the…

Experiment 15.2 Purpose: To show temperature effects on reactions and Le Chatelier’s principle. Materials: 2 test tubes, 2 eyedroppers, 2 beakers, 2 small cups, Clear ammonia solution, White Vinegar, Flame or stove, Pot, Water, Ice, a few leaves of red cabbage, and safety goggles. Question: How does equilibrium work with respect to temperature and concentration? Hypothesis: Depending on whether the reaction is endo-thermic or exothermic the equilibrium will shift to one side, this is also true…

Research Question: To compare the enthalpy change of reaction of 3 neutralization reactions by using 3 different acids of distinct pH. The same base of NaOH will be used in all three experiments. Introduction: Chemical reactions always have energy change. Energy in the form of heat, if liberated is known as exothermic and if absorbed in the reaction is known as endothermic. When a reaction carried out under standard condition at a of temperature 298K and 1 atm of pressure and 1 mole of water…

insulate better or use a calorimeter. A calorimeter is a device used to measure the amount of heat involved in a chemical or physical process. For example, when an exothermic reaction occurs in solution in a calorimeter, the heat produced by the reaction is absorbed by the solution, which increases its temperature. When an endothermic reaction occurs, the heat required is absorbed from the thermal energy of the solution, which decreases its…

Almost all chemical reactions involve a loss or gain of heat. This change in heat is called enthalpy. The goal of this experiment is to calculate enthalpy for three different reactions. To calculate the enthalpy of a reaction, a calorimeter is used to measure the change in heat energy from mixing different substances. The change of temperature is found by comparing the change in temperature of the system to the temperature of the surroundings. For a calorimeter, a Styrofoam cup place in a beaker…

have increased the risk of fire and caused excessive bubbling. The slow addition of benzophenone allows the solution to gradually dissipate heat to the ice bath and prevented this vigorous bubbling and potential fire hazard by limiting the rate of reaction an thus controlling the amount of heat produced at any given time (Clevenge and Kilway…

The synthesis of ammonia reaction is a quite a remarkable one. It does not occur spontaneously -- at least, not on Earth because of the relatively low temperatures here; it requires a catalyst to commence the reaction, instead. Additionally, the product of this reaction makes it possible for the Earth to sustain its population (that will be discussed later with the date). Ammonia is an extremely important part of people 's lives, and most do not realize that fact. In this paper, the data will…

The temperature in the room may have altered. A dependent variable is a variable you do not change during an experiment. Instead, it changes as a result of other changes you make. The dependent variables in my experiment were: • The rate of reaction. • The volume of sodium thiosulphate. The volume of sodium thiosulphate will remain unaffected throughout the whole experiment, Where as I will be changing the concentrations of hydrochloric acid. The volume of sodium thiosulphate will…

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…

overall goal of this experiment was to learn and observe about kinetic and thermodynamic control of different reactions by noticing which product forms faster or slower and possibly which reaction is more stable than the rest of the reactions. Significance: Organic chemists find using kinetic and thermodynamic control useful because they use the concept of the reactions to figure out reactions that are being used at the same time or experiment, that overcome or trump the set of reactants used…
