INTRODUCTION: The purpose of this experiment is to measure the formation constant of the tetraamminecopper(II) ion by colorimetry. Anhydrous copper sulfate (CuSO4) is white‚ which means that it does not absorb light in the visible region of the spectrum. The hydrated copper sulfate (CuSO4 - 5H2O) is blue. The structure of the compound can be represented more accurately as Cu(H2O)4 SO4 - H2O where four water molecules are bound to the copper ion and the fifth is a water of crystallization. The

The Rate of a Reaction The area of chemistry that deals with the rate or speed of chemical reactions is known a chemical kinetics. The word “kinetic” is derived from the Greek name kinitikos that means movement or motion. In the present context‚ the kinetic means the reaction rate or rate of a reaction that is defined as the change in concentration of a reactant or a product with time (M/s). Chemical reaction can be represented by the following general equation. Reactants Products It is very important

reaction rates and concentration (research paper) By katie prestage what are reaction rates? The rate of reaction is the speed in which a reaction takes place. This can be measured by the rate in which a reactant is used up‚ or the rate a product is created. If a reaction has a low rate‚ it means that the particles are combining at a slow speed. If the rate is high‚ it means that the particles are coming together at a fast speed. For example‚ the rusting of iron through oxidation has a slow

October 13‚ 2012 Needle through a Balloon Pre-Lab Preparations: Purpose: The purpose of this experiment is to see if the balloon pops when pierced with a wooden skewer or a sharp pin. Hypothesis: If we lubricate the skewer with petroleum jelly‚ then it should go through the balloon without popping. Hypothesis for the 2nd part of the Lab: If we cover the side of the balloon with cellophane tape‚ then it will not pop when pierced with the pin. Materials: • Balloons • Long wooden

Calculations/Analysis Through this lab‚ we are now able to calculate the molar heat of combustion for paraffin‚ since we have the difference of the mass in candle before/after and the periodic table of elements (for converting g to moles of paraffin). Molar heat of combustion = (kJ of heat)/(mole of fuel) However‚ we do not know how much heat was released nor the mole of fuel (paraffin). In order to find the amount of heat released‚ we use the formula: g=mcΔT. Here‚ g represents the heat‚ m represents the mass

Heat engine lab Intro: when an engine runs‚ it pumps pistons that move up and down and provide energy to the engine to it to go. These pistons move because of pressure and heat. This work done on the system is not only mechanical but its also thermodynamic. When a piston undergoes one full cycle its displacement is zero because it comes back to its resting place. This means that its net thermodynamic work to be done should also be zero‚ as well as its total internal energy. In order to test this

Enthalpy change of magnesium in combustion Rui Shen Chemistry 4U – Ms .Brazier 2/28/2013 Introduction: Hess ’s law is a terminology in chemistry named after Germain Hess‚ a Swiss-born Russian chemist and physician who published it in 1840. The law states that the total enthalpy change during the complete course of a reaction is the same whether the reaction is made in one step or in several steps. Enthalpy cannot be directly measured‚ but rather the change in enthalpy. Enthalpy is described
