Thermodynamics of water

+

Property of water: Thermodynamics
Bond enthalphy :
ΔH OH= 463,5 kJ/mol
Hydrogen bond ΔHH---OH = 10-40 kJ/,mol
Ice: hydrogen bond intact, low density
(floats)
0oC: 12% Hydrogen bond broken
4oC: hydrogen bond broken, density higher
4-100oC: Hydrogen bond broken until 20% but greater kinetic energy causing thermal expansion thus density decrease.

    Objectives: 1. To examine a variety of reactions including precipitation, acid-base, gas forming, and oxidation-reduction reactions. 2. To identify the products formed in these reactions and summarize the chemical changes in terms of balanced chemical equations and net ionic equations. 3. To identify the species being oxidized and reduced in oxidation-reduction reactions and determine which species is the oxidizing agent and the reducing agent. Chemical equations represent what occurs in a chemical reaction. For example, the equation HCl (aq) + NaOH (aq) → NaCl (aq) + H2O (l) describes an acid-base reaction, a type of exchange reaction in which the driving force is the formation of water. In an exchange reaction, the…

    Silent Spring is a book that Rachel Carson wrote in 1960 and was only the beginning of the environmental movement. During the same time there were many several major environmental events that were occurring. These environmental events include oil spills along southern California’s and Massachusetts coasts. Extinctions of many species were also taking place, for animals such as whales, song-birds, and elephants. James Lovelock was also an important individual in the 1960s. Lovelock came up with the Gia hypothesis. The Gia hypothesis proposes that the environment at the global level has been profoundly changed by life over the history of life on Earth and the changes tend to improve the chances for the continuation of life. Life of all shapes and sizes affects the environment at a global level, and the environment of our planet differs from a lifeless one.…

    Why Stuff Expands

    This process of expansion by cooling starts when the water temperature nears 4° C. The hydrogen atoms begin to line up into neat rows of six molecules, but the water retains the same density, except for the slight drop that is common with most matter just before solidification. Once the water temperature has dropped to 0° C, the rows of molecules connect at the ends to form an open-ended hexagon. Because of the empty spaces into the middle of these hexagons, the ice takes up more space than the same amount of liquid water. The net result is approximately 9% more volume.…

    The goal for this experiment is to determine which out of the four balanced chemical equations best represent the thermal decomposition of sodium bicarbonate. The guiding question will be answered with the outcome of the sodium bicarbonates thermal decomposition and it being plugged in into the four balanced chemical equations. John Dalton atomic theory explains two fundamental laws of chemistry which are the law of conservation of mass and the law of definite proportions. The atomic theory states that a chemical reaction is simply a rearrangement of atoms and no atoms will be destroyed or any new atoms will be produced during the process. By doing the correct procedures I identified the II balanced chemical equation to have the correct thermal decomposition of sodium bicarbonate. The II balanced chemical equation was 2NaHCO3(S) > Na2CO3(s) + CO2(g) + H2O(g).…

    Water is a liquid that is odorless, colorless, and tasteless. Water freezes and melts at 32*F (0*C). As water freezes it expands by one-eleventh. The amount of pressure on the water when it is freezing changes the melting point. Water that reaches 40*F it is at its maximum density. The molecules in water are always rapidly moving, until it gets cold and then they start slowing down. Water can be in three different forms: liquid,…
