Calorimetry To determine the specific heat of a metal and its approximate atomic mass. To determine the heat of neutralization for a strong acid-strong base reaction. To determine the quantity and direction of heat flow for the dissolution of salt. Post Lab Questions and Answers: 1. In parts A and B in‚ the calorimeter‚ although a good insulator‚ absorbs some heat when the system is above room temperature. Is the reported value for the specific heat of the metal too high or too low? Explain

Eric Bryan Period 4 Calorimetry Lab Theory: To most people heat and temperature are generally the same thing. But really in a scientific sense there is still a similarity between them but they are different concepts. Temperature is the measure of the average energy of molecular motion in a substance. Heat is the total energy of molecular motion in a substance. Temperature is not energy like heat is‚ it is just measure of it. Now there is also a difference between heat and thermal

1. Clean‚ rinse‚ and fill a buret with NaOH solution just as you did in last week’s experiment. Record the molarity of the NaOH and the initial NaOH volume reading from the buret (+0.02 mL). 2. Weigh an antacid table in a weighing boat and record the mass (+0.01 g). Transfer the tablet to a clean mortar and crush the tablet into a fine powder using the pestle. 3. Weigh about 0.2 grams (+0.01 g) of the ground up tablet powder and transfer it to a clean 250 mL Erlenmeyer flask. 4. Transfer

Calorimetry and Specific Heat Tessa Williams Chemistry 111 11/13/13 Abstract: In this experiment‚ the specific heat and the density of an unknown metal was determined in order to identify the unknown metal. The average specific heat of the unknown metal was 0.197˚C and was determined using a calorimeter. The density of the unknown metal was 6.57 g/mL and was determined using a cylinder and displacement. Using the specific heat value of the unknown metal and its density‚ it

06.03 Calorimetry: Lab Report Before You Begin: You may either copy and paste this document into a word processing program of your choice or print this page. Part I The Dissolving of Solid Sodium Hydroxide in Water Procedure: 1. Measure out approximately 200 mL of distilled water and pour it into the calorimeter. Stir carefully with a thermometer until a constant temperature is reached. Record the volume of water and the constant initial temperature of the water on your data table.

To begin the experiment‚ the unknown needs to be determined as an acid or a base by using litmus paper or a pH strip. For the rest of the experiment‚ if the substance is being handled‚ gloves and goggles must be worn. Use a clean and dry Erlenmeyer flask and weigh it. Then‚ some of the unknown will be measured and poured into the flask. Also way the flask and the unknown. Add distilled water and phenol saline to the flask. Set that aside to prepare the biuret. Choose the substance that will be used

In this experiment‚ we used acquired observational data to develop an activity series describing the relative reactivity of the metals being tested. The elements within a periodic table often show different trends in physical and chemical properties depending on the period or group they are apart of. In a periodic table‚ elements are arranged by increasing atomic number in horizontal rows called periods. The atomic numbers represent the number of protons in each element. The periodic table is also

The = for the reaction of sulfuric acid and magnesium metal. Introduction This report demonstrates calorimetry‚ or the technique of measuring heat effects in the surroundings. In order to make sure that there is no temperature change‚ or that it is an isothermal heat transfer‚ it is kept at a similar temperature in an ice bath. By knowing the change

1. Start off by weighing two paracetamol tablets using some accurate scales. Record the mass down (1.15g). This had to be as accurate and precise as we could get it so we had the correct weight to start the experiment. Without this then the results we found at the end would not be accurate. A problem that could be faced with this is that the scales may not have been fully set to zero. Also it takes time for it to fully reach its weight on the reading so you may move them too quick before the right

NH3 H2O - NH4OH can be a very useful to the society because by keeping an eye out for this synthesis reaction‚ chemical technicians are able to identify ammonium hydroxide in water accessed by people and prevent people from being in contact with toxic water. Ammonia takes the form of gas at room temperature. It is a colourless gas with an irritating odour. Ammonias melting point is at -77 degrees Celsius and its boiling point is at -33.35 degrees Celsius. This covalent compound is corrosive to
