To begin the experiment, the unknown needs to be determined as an acid or a base by using litmus paper or a pH strip. For the rest of the experiment, if the substance is being handled, gloves and goggles must be worn. Use a clean and dry Erlenmeyer flask and weigh it. Then, some of the unknown will be measured and poured into the flask. Also way the flask and the unknown.…
Objective - I should identify the density of both water and copper, then calculate my percent error based on the actual measurements. Hypothesis - If I use the formula for density (Density = Mass / Volume) then I can find the density of water and and a sample of copper. Procedure - See procedure paper. Data & Observations - Material Sample Size Mass…
I. Objective: The objective of this experiment is to determine the mass percent of iron in an iron compound using a spectrophotometer. From there, determine which iron compounds are in the stock room bottles based off of the experimental mass percent results.…

3.4007g of potassium phosphate was weighed and placed in 300 mL beaker. Then, 125 mL of water was added into the beaker that contained potassium phosphate. The mixture was dissolved using the stirring rod, and then the magnetic stirring bar was placed in the beaker for further dissolve when measuring the pH. The pH meter was used to measure the solution, and the data was documented at pH 4.6. This was the starting point. Next, 1M NaOH was slowly added into the buffer to make it to pH 6. Then, the buffer was transferred to a 1000 mL graduated cylinder, and 125mL of distill water was added to the buffer.…
Introduction: Discovered in the early 1500s by an alchemist by the name of Paracelsus, then observed and recorded by Robert Boyle and later Henry Cavendish, hydrogen is the most abundant element on earth and is an essential element for life. This element makes up about 90% of all atoms, the most popular being water. Today, it is seen as the clean fuel of the future, is used in products such as fertilizer, and it helps aid in the production of plastics, pharmaceuticals, and even margarine. Also, hydrogen’s low density makes it a natural choice for filling balloons and airships (Robertson 6-10).…
Combustion Background For this science experiment, we will be looking at the differences in calorie count between a food label and and the amount we measure in a lab. For this lab, we will be experimentally measuring how many calories are in different types of food. Before we begin the lab however, we need to investigate the science behind it. Firstly, we need to figure out if this project is even possible.…
where ΔHwater is the enthalpy change of water. This is equal to -55.81 kJ/mol. nLR is the number of moles of the limiting reactant, and ΔT is the change in temperature associated with the reaction.…
Nest two similar foam cups into a calorimeter. Make sure they are clean and dry Using a paper punch, make two small holes in a plastic lid that fits tightly over the foam cups. Make one hole in the center and one off to the side. Retrieve the stirring wire and thermometer. With a 50mL graduated cylinder, measure out 50mL of distilled water into a clean, dry 150mL beaker and heat on a hot plate to 70°C-80°C by slowly raising the temperature. Stir with a glass rod occasionally to make sure the heating is uniform. Measure 50mL of cold distilled water and place in the calorimeter setup. As the water is heating, also monitor the temperature of the cold water to find when it reaches equilibrium. Record the temperature of the cold water to the nearest 0.2°C. When the water being heated reaches 70°C-80°C, remove from the heat and let it sit on the lab bench, stirring occasionally. Record the temperature of the hot water to the nearest 0.2°C. Quickly, remove the lid from the calorimeter and pour in the hot water. Replace the lid. Stir for 30 seconds, then begin monitoring the temperature of the combined water. Record the highest temperature reached in the calorimeter to the nearest 0.2°C. Calculate the calorimeter constant for your calorimeter. Repeat the experiment twice more and use the mean value of the three determinations.…
The aim was to use calorimetric measurements to calculate the molar heat of solution of NaOH and NH4NO3.…
Both are isolated—it does not permit any exchange of matter and energy—and adiabatic—there is no heat transfer between the system and its surroundings (qsystem=0). Thus, this equation occurs.…
On the first part of the experiment which is the determination of specific heat of metals. The obtained value of experimental specific heat of metal of aluminum and copper are 0.2152 calg-℃ and 0.0958 cal g-℃ , respectively. It is a must to work faster in performing this experiment because working in an air-conditioned room greatly affects the result of the temperature. For the temperature values, the final temperature of mixture should not increase more than 1 ℃ compare to its initial temperature of water/calorimeter for it will give you a high percentage error. Based on the data gathered it is observed that the higher the temperature that a metal will absorb, will lead to a lesser value of the specific heat of metal.…
The reaction of HCl and NaOH for calorimeter calibration brought about a 1°C change in temperature (from 29.5 °C to 30.5 °C). The results of the other groups’ calibration are found in TABLE A of the data sheet.…
Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) was carried out to investigate the thermodynamic properties of CXB, different carriers, PMs and SD preparations. Their thermograms are represented in Figures (9-14).…
