Volumetric Determination of Impure Sodium Carbonate (Na2CO3) Introduction: To determine the total amount of carbonate in unrefined sodium carbonate‚ soda ash‚ a titration is done using a standardized solution of HCl. Aqueous HCl is a strong acid and therefore almost completely disassociates into H+ and CL-. Therefore‚ when HCl is used in a titration‚ the H+ is the titrant. Carbonate in aqueous solution is able to accept a proton‚ i.e. it acts as a base. When carbonate accepts the H+ a bicarbonate ion

The Enthalpy of Formation of Magnesium Carbonate By: Jessica Miller T.A: Thomas Lab Partner: Rebekah Melanson Thursday Lab Room 106 Chemistry 1001-A Due Date: Thursday February 3rd 2011 Abstract The purpose of this experiment was to determine the enthalpy of formation of magnesium carbonate in a lab setting. This was done using a calorimeter‚ which was calibrated by adding a known amount of both hot and cold water. Following the calibration of the calorimeter‚ HCl was placed into the empty calorimeter

Standardization of hydrochloric acid by sodium carbonate Concentrated hydrochloric acid is roughly 11 M. Pour out into a measuring cylinder about 2 cm3 of concentrated hydrochloric acid. Transfer it to a 250 cm3 flask and make up to the mark with water. Shake well. Put some pure sodium hydrogen carbonate or anhydrous sodium carbonate into an evaporating dish and heat gently over a low flame for about fifteen minutes‚ stirring continuously. Take care not to heat the mass too strongly or fusion

transformations. A reaction may release or absorb energy‚ and a phase may change‚ such as in melting and boiling. Thermochemistry focuses on these energy changes‚ particularly on the system ’s energy exchange with its surroundings. In combination with entropy determinations‚ it is used to predict whether a reaction is spontaneous or non-spontaneous‚ favourable or unfavourable. Chemical reactions can be divided into two based on the energy changes that occur during the reaction which are endothermic and exothermic

Determination of the Enthalpy for Decomposition of Hydrogen Peroxide Objective: To construct a coffee cup calorimeter‚ measure its calorimeter constant‚ and determine the enthalpy of decomposition and formation of hydrogen peroxide. Background: This experiment is a classic thermodynamics lab. In it‚ we attempt to measure the enthalpy (H) of a chemical reaction. The main obstacle is that this is a quantity that cannot be measured directly. It instead is observed as heat from one substance is transferred
