Endothermic Reaction Lab Report

The Effect Ammonium Nitrate has on the Temperature of Water

During this lab students are going to mix water and ammonium nitrate one gram at a time and observe the change in temperature that is occurring. The students are then going to record the data on a table and later will be able to make a graph of the results. A hypothesis for this lab could be if ammonium nitrate is added to water then the water temperature will decrease. .

Hypothesis: If ammonium nitrate is added to water then the water temperature will decrease

Materials
Goggles
Gloves
250 ml beaker
150 ml beaker
Chemical scoop
Petri dish
Petri Dish
Accurate Scale
12 grams of Ammonium Nitrate
Preciously 200 ml of water
Beaker Brush (If beaker is not clean) TI CBL system and Thermometer
Electric Stirrer or Stirring stick

Methods

Construct a chart that ranges from 0-10 grams of Ammonium Nitrate and measures the temperature for each gram added
Clean out containers if needed
Use a scale to measure the out 12 grams of ammonium nitrate
Empty the ammonium nitrate in the 150 ml beaker
Fill the 250 ml beaker with 200 ml of water
Measure the temperature of the water record the data
Then add one gram of ammonium nitrate and record the data like before, continue to do this for 10 grams
Despose of the ammonium nitrate mixture down the drain while running water

Results and Discussion

As you can tell by the graph for every gram of ammonium nitrate added to the water the temperature of the water went down. This can be expressed by the equation Y= -.2x+19.2. This means that for every gram added the temperature of the water went down .2 degrease.

    All chemical reactions are processed through energy exchanges. Chemical reactions either absorb energy or release energy into their surroundings. In thermodynamics, endothermic reactions absorb energy where exothermic reactions release energy. In this experiment, we will be observing the chemical reactions that occur when a specific liquid is combined with a specific solid. We will measure the temperature of the liquid before the solid is added. Then we will measure the temperature of the liquid after the solid is added. We, then, will record the results, graph the temperature changes if any, and draw a conclusion whether the reaction is endothermic or exothermic reaction.…

    Endothermic Reactions of Cold Packs An instant cold pack is a device that is made up of two bags; one containing water, and an inside bag containing ammonium nitrate. Have you ever wondered how people use hot packs to warm up their hands in the winter or use cold packs on a real terrible injury? How can this package produce heat or cold by only shaking or crushing those packs? Ammonium nitrate is a chemical compound that is a white crystalline solid used as fertilizer and as a part of explosives.…

    Endothermic reactions are accompanied by the absorption of heat. The dissolving of ammonium nitrate in water is an example of an endothermic reaction. The solution resulting from this mixture is colder than either the ammonium nitrate or the water. This is the simple explanation of what happens in an instant ice pack. The more detailed information will be discussed in the following paragraphs.…

    Exothermic Reactions

    Energy, during a chemical reaction, transfers from one substance, to another to cause a change in the chemical formulas and surrounding area. Endothermic reactions absorb the surrounding heat when the chemical bonds are broken, resulting in the surrounding air and the chemical substance lack heat and appear cold. Exothermic reactions release heat when chemical bonds are formed, causing the chemical substance to heat up and the surrounding air to be considerably warmer. Water, ice, and gas are great examples of both endothermic and exothermic reactions. When water turns from ice to water, then water to gas, that is endothermic reactions because it is absorbing the heat from the surroundings. When it goes the opposite direction, it is exothermic…
