The purpose of this lab was to use a calorimeter to learn when energy is being released or absorbed in a chemical reaction. My lab partner and I had to determine the heat exchanged when solid magnesium hydroxide is mixed with solid citric acid‚ using a coffee cup calorimeter. Given that citric acid is soluble in water is the property that makes this reaction possible. The first law of thermodynamics and Hess’s law are also present within this experiment. Knowing the difference between endothermic

Chapter 13‚ “Chemical Reactions”‚ was also of great interest to me. “A change that alters the chemical composition of a substance and hence forms one or more new substances is called a chemical change‚ or more often‚ a chemical reaction (James T. Shipman 342).” In this summary paper‚ I will discuss some of the highlights of the chapter. An awesome example of a chemical reaction is that of photosynthesis‚ found in green plants. In photosynthesis‚ plants absorb carbon dioxide gas from the air

THE CLASSIFICATION OF CHEMICAL REACTIONS Danny Bhatt SCH3U0-G Mr. Gandhi Wednesday‚ April 1st‚ 2014 INTRODUCTION The purpose of this lab is to determine the different types of chemical reactions and differentiate between them based on similar characteristics of each set category. In this lab it is hypothesized that every chemical reaction which was observed would fall under already set categories (that are: synthesis‚ decomposition‚ single displacement‚ double displacement‚ combustion and

Observing the and determining the reaction rate of photosynthesis in Ivy disks Background: All plants are autotrophs meaning they create their own food from inorganic chemicals in their surrounding. In the case of food‚ plants use CO2 to create glucose. In addition to the inorganic chemicals‚ plants use sunlight to create their glucose because the photosynthesis reaction is endothermic. The rate of this reaction‚ in turn‚ can be measures. And this lab uses oxygen which is created

Purpose: The purpose of the ‘Rates of Reactions’ lab is to learn how to plan an investigative lab without outside help and to learn about the ‘Rates of Reactions’. This lab will require students to take responsibility for their own learning and use their prior knowledge to aid in the completion of this lab. In the lab prepared below‚ students will be learning about Rates of Reaction with varying concentrations of Alka-Seltzer with water. Hypothesis: I believe that the more water added to the canister

In this lab‚ theoretical chemical equations of ionic compounds were balanced by the group to determine ratios of reactants and products. The products were determined by the group through switching the cation with their anion partner. Using this information‚ it was determined by the group‚ whether the reaction should result in a solid‚ gas‚ or water based on theoretical solubility. Then several experiments testing the reaction of these ionic compounds were performed by the partners. Two ionic compounds

The purpose of this experiment was to determine the speed at which a reaction took place between an iodine and hydrogen peroxide solution. In addition to a change in concentration‚ a change in temperature and a catalyst variable was also introduced to conclude whether or not their presence affected the overall speed of the reaction. In order to determine the effects of these variables‚ several iodine and hydrogen peroxide reactions were prepared‚ (all at varying temperatures‚ volumes‚ and concentrations)

Grignard reaction Abstract: In this laboratory‚ triphenylmethanol was synthesised from reacting benzophenone and bromobenzene using Grignard reaction. As the reaction was to set up to produce a Grignard reagent and then recrystallize it to obtain pure sample. The percentage yield obtained was 55% and its melting point was 161 co which is within the literature value 160-163 co. In addition to that the IR spectroscopy confirmed the molecule structure to be triphenylmethanol. Introduction: The Grignard
