Thermochemistry: An Ice Calorimeter Determination of Reaction Enthalpy Shannon Wedepohl 9/17/13 Abstract: During this experiment‚ an ice calorimeter was used to measure the change in volume in milliliters of magnesium metal and 1.00 M of sulfuric acid. We found the experimental molar enthalpy of the reaction to be ∆H = -370 ± 1 kJ/mol at 0˚C. This compares with an expected value of -466.9 kJ/mol at 25 ˚C‚ a 20.75% difference. Introduction: Many chemical reactions truly only

Experiment: Calorimetry Laboratory Experiment – Heat of Solution Aim: The aim was to use calorimetric measurements to calculate the molar heat of solution of NaOH and NH4NO3. Method: 1. 50g of water was poured into a clean polystyrene calorimeter (Styrofoam cup) and the initial temperature was measured. 2. A teaspoon of 2g of the selected salt was measured and added into the water. 3. The solution was stirred and the final temperature was measured when the solution stabilised and the results

Abstract The aim of my research was to study automatic processes by replicating the previously carried out Stroop effect. The participants‚ 20 Richmond College students (10 boys and 10 girls) chosen by an opportunistic sample were taken into a quiet room separately‚ were presented with 6 lists of words‚ out of which 3 were congruent and the other 3 incongruent and the time taken for each participant to name the colour that the words were written in was measured and recorded.

Paper Towel Lab Report AP Biology 15 September 2011 Which Towel is The Quicker-Picker Upper! To determine which of the most popular paper towel brands such as Bounty and Marcal would be the Quicker-Picker-Upper I conducted the following experiment during which I dipped 6in X 6in squares of paper towels into 100mL and measured the amount of water absorbed by the towels in 20 seconds. After averaging all 3 trials for the paper towel brands that I tested I arrived to the conclusion that the

The results of 7 mL water from the front camera in the experiment type 1 is shown in Figure 17. These results were also analyzed with the three different points on the time scale in the same way as the case of 5.5 mL water: that is‚ the first point (A)‚ the second one (B) and the third one (C). According to the three points‚ the graphs from PIV analysis are as well listed with the averaged velocities for 60 frames (30 seconds) and the black vector for only one pair of the frames.

works. In our experiment we tested termite “handedness” – if termites prefer to turn left or right. We did this by placing a termite in an ink path with a fork in it which would cause the termite to choose between going left or right. The ink used in the experiment attracts termites insuring they will not run randomly in any direction. The data suggests that termites will prefer to turn left when given a choice even when the right path is identical to the left. Overall‚ this lab experiment lays the groundwork

SEEDLING GROWTH EXPERIMENT GEOS170C1 Fall 2014 Workshop 1 09/10/2014 Hypothesis: Electric energy can speed up the growth rate of plants. The access of an electric current can modifies the physic-chemical properties of the seed. It can charge the mitochondria‚ and intensifies other metabolic processes of the seed. This can achieve the purpose of sterilization‚ and enhanced the ability of absorbing water and oxygen. Prediction: The seeds that have been energized will sprout early than the control

Chem 17 ▪ General Chemistry Laboratory II Experiment 1 Calorimetry INTRODUCTION Chemical reactions are usually accompanied by the evolution (exothermic reaction) or absorption (endothermic reaction) of heat energy. When measured at constant pressure‚ the heat evolved (qp < 0) or absorbed (qp > 0) is equal to the enthalpy change‚ symbolized by ΔH. ΔH is positive for an endothermic process and negative for an exothermic one. If H f is the enthalpy of the final state and Hi of the initial state
