Thermochemistry: An Ice Calorimeter Determination of Reaction Enthalpy D. F. Nachman 6/23/2010 Abstract: An ice calorimeter was used to study the reaction of magnesium metal and 1.00M sulfuric acid solution: Mg(s) + H2SO4(aq) →MgSO4(aq) + H2(g). We found the experimental molar enthalpy of reaction to be ΔH = –355 ± 17 kJ/mol at 0°C‚ 24% lower than the textbook value of ΔH° = –466.9 kJ/mol‚ reported at 25°C. Introduction Whether a chemical reaction occurs spontaneously or is driven by an outside force

Concentration vs Rate of reaction Brandon Introduction A reaction rate is the speed at which a chemical reaction will occur. Heat‚ concentration of a chemical‚ Surface area or a catalyst‚ will affect the rate of reaction. The concentration of a chemical will speed up of the reaction because the reactant particles have become more crowded therefore increasing the chance of productive collisions. In this practical the chemicals will be Sodium thiosulphate and Hydrochloric acid which will produce

Alka-Seltzer Reaction Rates Lab What are the different factors the effect the reaction rate of Alka-Seltzer? Matthew Arkfeld Leah Gilligan Jessie Abbott Period 4 June 2nd‚ 2008 Background Research: o The objective of the experiment was to determine if different factors affect the reaction rate of Alka-Seltzer. Alka-Seltzer provides fast relief to acid indigestion‚ upset stomach‚ heartburn‚ headaches‚ body aches and pains. It is an antacid and pain relief medicine used by millions

From the results recorded it was identified that activity A and C had exothermic reactions‚ whilst activity B had an endothermic reaction. Each of the activities had initially begun with 23.4/8/9oC‚ however‚ within one minute of adding the 2nd reactants‚ the results began showing‚ as seen from the graph. Activity A and C had risen in temperature‚ with A gaining 4oC and in total of 2 minutes having the temperature of 27.9oC along with C increasing by 2.2oC and within 2 minutes of the experiment having

seem to be caused by adverse drug reactions to medical drugs‚ according to research. On the contrary‚ Philippines don’t have a high risk of deaths that causes these because here in our country‚ we rely on those alternative medicines or herbal medicines. It is a lot cheaper but actually‚ it doesn’t have those therapeutic claims so it has a minimal assurance of being treated with the sickness. With these‚ we choose to use Western Medicines as well. Adverse Drug Reaction (ADR) is the response of our body

Concentration‚ Along with Varying Temperature and pH-Balanced Environments on the Enzyme-Catalyzed Reaction of pNPP Abstract: Introduction: Many of the chemical reactions‚ which take place in in living things are controlled by enzymes. In such cases‚ the enzyme is a protein in the cell which lowers the activation energy of a catalyzed reaction‚ which serves to increase the rate of the reaction. Alkaline phosphatase is made throughout the body. Its function is to remove phosphate groups

Constant of an Unknown Ester Hydrolysis Reaction Abstract The experiments to follow determined that the equilibrium concentrations of the reaction: ester + water ↔ alcohol + acid‚ are equal to 0.0363 moles of ester‚ 0.2852 moles of water‚ and 0.0268 moles each of alcohol and acid. Using this information the equilibrium constant was determined to be 0.06938. 1. Introduction In this lab the equilibrium constant‚ Kc‚ for the acid catalyzed reaction between an unknown ester and water

On what I have seen‚ the first experiment showed chemical reaction to be more specific‚ combustion. In the experiment the Potassium permanganate (KmnO4) was used as the oxidant‚ and obviously oil as the fuel. As the two were mixed they needed to release energy in form of heat‚ that’s where combustion occurs. I learn that Combustion is the sequence of exothermic chemical reactions between a fuel and an oxidant accompanied by the production of heat and conversion of chemical species. The release of

Purpose: In this experiment I will predict the amount of product produced in a precipitation reaction using stoichiometry by accurately measuring the reactants and products of the reaction. I will also determine the actual yield vs. the theoretical yield by calculating the percent yield.
