Experiment 3: Solution Calorimetry: Thermodynamics of Potassium Nitrate II. Abstract A determination of thermodynamic variables of KNO3 is presented. KNO3 was heated and dissolved in varying volumes of distilled water. Upon dissolution‚ the KNO3 solution was removed from heat and the temperature was recorded once crystals formed. For each solution‚ ∆G the Ksp were found with the temperature and molarity values. ∆H and ∆S were found through the linearization of the data with

The investigation was designed to determine the effect of the addition of increasing concentrations of a miscible liquid (ethanol) on the solubility of KNO3 in water. The results of the investigation support the hypothesis that water‚ which exhibits greater polarity‚ is able to dissolve a greater mass of KNO3 at lower temperatures compared to tested concentrations of Ethanol ranging from 12.5% to 30%. Furthermore‚ the results of the graph 1 show correspondence to the dielectric constant of each solvent

Copper (II) Sulfate Purpose: The purpose of this lab is to find out how many moles of water there are in one mole of Copper Sulfate (CuSO x HO) and the percent by mass of water in the hydrate. This will be accomplished by heating a determined mass of the hydrate to remove the water‚ and by measuring the salt left over. Introduction: This laboratory experiment will be done to find out how many moles of HO are present per one mole in the hydrate CuSO. A hydrate is a compound that has a fixed number

The enthalpy change when one mole of anhydrous copper(II) sulphate is dissolved in water is first determined. Secondly‚ the enthalpy of solution of copper(II) sulphate pentahydrate in water is determined

The purpose of this lab was to find out the reaction of iron nails and CuSO4‚ copper sulfate solution. Before starting the experiment‚ there were two possible outcomes of the reactions. CuSO4 + Fe → FeSO4 + Cu or 3CuSo4 + 2Fe → Fe2(SO4)3 + 3Cu. The ion chart showed that iron can only make two charges‚ +2 and +3. As the liquid evaporated‚ the weight changed because the liquid added to the nail’s weight. In a real world situation‚ scientists can use ratios to determine how much of a substance that

RESEARCH QUESTIONWhat is the number of moles of water of crystallization associated with one mole of copper (II) sulfate‚ in the hydrate CuSO4 * xH2O (s)? The independent variable in this experiment is sample thermal treatment ( heating and cooling) and the dependent variable is the number of moles of water of crystallization. A number of other variables can affect the final result of the
