Department of Chemistry Observations of Chemical Changes Submitted by Date Submitted: 5/30/2012 Date Performed: 5/30/2012 Lab Section: Chem-181DL1 Course Instructor: Purpose The purpose of the experiment Observation of Chemical Changes is to examine the properties of chemical reaction and relate those reactions to products commonly found in a home environment. Through this experiment someone can macroscopically analyze whether a solution

Introduction: A balanced chemical equation has reactants and product that has to represent a formulae. The amount of each element‚ number needs to be the same in either side of the equation. (E.g.‚ HCl(aq)+NaHCO3(s) reacts to produce NaCl(aq)+H2O(I)+CO2(g)‚ this is the equation given for this lab). This help us view the study of Law of Conservation of Mass‚ when either side of equation is equally balanced. The calculation for formula mass helps determine if you need to convert grams to a particular

predict if a chemical reaction will occur spontaneously or non-spontaneously is an important aspect of thermodynamics. Spontaneity is determined from free energy‚ or Gibbs free energy. The equation (1) gives the relationship of how entropy (∆S) and enthalpy (∆H) along with temperature affects the amount of free energy‚ and henceforth the spontaneity. A spontaneous process may be quick or slow‚ and it is only affected by temperature and energy‚ therefore it is not related to kinetics or reaction rate. equation

Classes of Chemical Reactions Whenever a reaction takes place‚ energy is changed as well when the substances react chemically. Scientists have taken these changes in energy and generalized them. Scientists can take these generalizations and discover more about the nature and tendencies of matter. In this lab‚ the purpose was to perform seven reactions‚ write down their equations‚ and identify the type of reaction. In this lab report‚ several methods of displaying this information will be applied

objective: In this experiment‚ I decided to find out how temperature would affect endothermic reactions compared to exothermic reactions. An endothermic reaction absorbs energy in the form of heat. This reaction feels cold because it is taking heat away from its surroundings. It also releases gases. An exothermic reaction is a reaction that releases energy as heat. Since the energy is released‚ the exothermic reactions feel hot. Methods/Materials I did three experiments. I mixed lemon juice and baking

Chemical Reactions Lab Synthesis Reactions: Synthesis reactions occur when two elements or compounds combine to create one single compound. The general equation of synthesis reactions is: A+B→AB. The following are the complete balanced equations for the five synthesis reactions performed in the lab. Reaction 1: Reaction 2: Reaction 3: Reaction 4: Reaction 5: The reaction of CO2 and water is a prime example of a synthesis reaction. This is a synthesis reaction because it follows the general

THE MOLE A mole (symbol Mol) is the base unit of quantity of a substance in the metric system. A mole is the quantity of a substance that contains 6.02 x 1023 units. A "unit" is the smallest measurable entity in the substance‚ generally either an atom or a molecule. The number of units in a mole was determined by Italian chemist (a scientist specializing in the composition‚ structure‚ properties‚ and reactions of matter) Amedeo Avogadro (1776-1856)‚ one of the founders of modern physical chemistry

Determining an enthalpy change of a displacement reaction Aim: To determine the enthalpy change for the displacement reaction between zinc powder and copper (II) sulphate solution. Zn (s) + Cu2+ (aq) → Cu2+ (s) + Zn2+ (aq) Theory: For the displacement reaction‚ an excess amount of zinc powder is added to the measured amount of aqueous copper (II) sulphate. The temperature change over a period of time has to be measured and thus‚ the enthalpy change for the reaction can be measured. The equation

Determining the Ratio of Circumference to Diameter of a Circle In determining the ratio of the circumference to the diameter I began by measuring the diameter of one of the si objects which contained circles‚ then using a string‚ I wrapped the string around the circle and compared the length of the string‚ which measured the circumference‚ to a meter stick. With this method I measured all of the six circles. After I had this data‚ I went back and rechecked the circumference with a tape measure
