Observations | Reaction Type | Complete and Balance | 1. When heated in oxygen‚ magnesium gives off a bright white flame. | combination reaction | 2Mg + O2-----> 2MgO | 2. Bubbling and fizzing occurs; the zinc appears to “dissolve” and what appears to be “steam” comes off out of container. | single-displacement reaction | Zn + 2 HCl (aq) --> ZnCl2(aq) + H2(g) | 3. Black smoke occurs | decomposition reactions | 2 (H2O2)(aq) MnO2 2 (H2O) + (O2) | 4. reddish-brown deposit

Endothermic and Exothermic reactions A chemical reaction is a process in which one or more substances are chemically changed into one or more new substances. A chemical reaction may involve the motion of electrons in the forming and breaking of chemical bonds. Therefore when a chemical reaction takes place‚ energy is transferred to‚ or from‚ the environment. A Chemical reaction can either be exothermic or endothermic. Exothermic Reactions During an Exothermic Reaction a transfer of energy to the

In the lab testing the heat of a reaction to understand changes in enthalpy in an exothermic reaction‚ the group hypothesized that if the amount of reactant is changed then the amount of heat produced (exothermic) will increase. This hypothesis was supported through the data as each of the six trials produced heat and the larger the piece of magnesium the larger the change in heat was. In the first trial the group had .085 grams of Mg and after being placed in 3 ml of 21.8℃ HCl the temperature of

ON THE RATE OF REACTION Aim To study the effect that temperature and concentration of iodide ion solution have on the rate of iodide ion I⁻ oxidation by peroxodisulphate ion S₂O₈⁻‚ creating an iodine clock reaction. Introduction I decided to choose as the topic for my investigation the rate of reaction for its vital importance in the human body. Indeed I am really interested in Biology and especially physiology and I would like to study medicine. The rate at which different reactions happens in the

for the organisms by catalyzing various biochemical reactions. Most of these chemical reactions would not take place in the conditions available if the enzymes were not a present. Therefore‚ we can say that being involved as catalysts is the main and most important role of an enzyme in any organism. Furthermore‚ many reactions that are thermodynamically favored do not occur quickly because there is not enough energy necessary to start the reaction (1). This energy is called the activation energy and

This lab focused on three factors affecting reaction rates‚ temperature‚ surface area‚ and concentration. Our first experiment (table 1) looked mainly into the effects of temperature on the reaction rate. To see how different temperatures would change the reaction rates we had three flasks all containing varying temperatures of water(H20). One with cold water (4°C)‚ one room temperature (21°C)‚ and one with hot water (44°C). In each flask‚ we dropped one tablet of Alka-Seltzer‚ all within 0.008 grams
Premium Chemistry Chemical reaction Temperature
objective: In this experiment‚ I decided to find out how temperature would affect endothermic reactions compared to exothermic reactions. An endothermic reaction absorbs energy in the form of heat. This reaction feels cold because it is taking heat away from its surroundings. It also releases gases. An exothermic reaction is a reaction that releases energy as heat. Since the energy is released‚ the exothermic reactions feel hot. Methods/Materials I did three experiments. I mixed lemon juice and baking

Hamad IS1‚ B4 Endothermic and exothermic reactions Background information: An endothermic reaction is a product or a substance accompanied by the absorption of heat. An exothermic reaction is a chemical reaction that releases heat. Design: Research question- Which reaction occurs‚ exothermic or endothermic‚ when Epson salt‚ Borax‚ Laundry detergent‚ and baking soda are added‚ separately‚ with water? Hypothesis- If Epson salt is mixed with water then the reaction will be endothermic because salt is used

Purpose: The purpose of the ‘Rates of Reactions’ lab is to learn how to plan an investigative lab without outside help and to learn about the ‘Rates of Reactions’. This lab will require students to take responsibility for their own learning and use their prior knowledge to aid in the completion of this lab. In the lab prepared below‚ students will be learning about Rates of Reaction with varying concentrations of Alka-Seltzer with water. Hypothesis: I believe that the more water added to the canister

The Sequence of Chemical Reactions Drew Selfridge Dave Allen‚ Lab partner Instructor Yang February 11‚ 1997 INTRODUCTION This experiment was to recover the most amount of copper after it is subjected to a sequence of reactions. The copper is originally in solid form‚ but the reactions will turn it into free Cu+2 ions floating in solution. The ions will then be regrouped to form solid copper once again. During this process‚ however‚ some of the Cu+2 ions may be lost. The copper will subjected
