Discussion Based on the results of the lab it can be seen that the metal in the lab can be identified as lead. The identity of the metal was determined by the heat energy calculations. The heat capacity that was found matched closely to that of the lead. There were several possible sources of error that could be found throughout the lab. Some of the main errors as seen in question 7 that could have affected the results of the lab were the amount of water transferred with the hot metal‚ the

By measuring the reaction rate between bleach and the dye‚ the order of the reaction was determined to be first order. Introduction The study of kinetics is important for studying the amount of time it takes for a particular reaction to reach

Heat of Neutralization Lab Objective: The objective of this lab was to measure‚ using a calorimeter‚ the energy changes accompanying neutralization reactions. Background: Chemical changes are always accompanied by a change in energy‚ typically as heat. If the reaction releases heat (ΔH < 0) then the reaction is exothermic. If the reaction absorbs heat (ΔH > 0) then the reaction is endothermic. The quantity of heat is measured experimentally by having the reaction take place in an insulated container called a

Purpose: In this lab‚ a mixture of naphthalene (C10H8)‚ common table salt (NaCl)‚ and sea sand (SiO2) will be separated using the separation techniques in order to demonstrate the properties of mixtures and their ability to be separated by physical means. INTRODUCTION: This lab was based on the separation of the components of a mixture. A mixture can be defined as a physical combination of two or more pure substances. Separation techniques are used to separate components that are not chemically

Ten Minutes of Specific Heat Remi Adams East Rowan High School AP Environmental Science Abstract Specific heat and climate were the primary focus of this lab. Specific heat is defined as “the measure of the ability of a substance to change temperature”. The purpose for carrying out this lab was to determine the specific heat/rates of both soil and water‚ and then comparing them. Students also were to relate specific heat to climate. Students were to determine which substance expressed

Specific Heat Lab Objective: Find the specific heat of the unknown metal given using calorimetry. Background Theory: In every reaction‚ energy is transferred between a system and its environment. A system encompasses the substances that are involved in a reaction‚ and everything else in the universe other than the system is called the environment. The standard SI unit of energy is Joules (J). Temperature is the level of excitement of the atoms in a substance. In most cases‚ energy is

Specific heat is the property of the material that an object is made of. The greater the material’s specific heat and the mass‚ the more energy must be added to change its temperature. The goals of this lab were to calculate the specific heat of water and compare to the known value of 4.19J/°Cg. Another goal was to calculate the efficiency of the hot pot used for the experiment and to estimate the cost to heat water for a cup of tea and to bath in a bathtub. The thermal energy E= cm Δ T‚ required

For this experiment me and my lab partner didn’t finish the experiment. We only end up to adding the magnesium sulfate. We added so much magnesium sulfate‚ and ended up drying the whole product without any liquid left. We were trying to do the procedure all over again but‚ we will ended up to not finishing the experiment still due to time constrain. I will try to explain the possibility what will happen up to the end of the experiment. After measuring the 10ml graduated cylinder‚ which is 27.27g
