Investigating the Ratio Between Poly-Vinyl Alcohol and Sodium Borate to form a Bouncing Ball Timothy English Gen. Chem. 1 Lab Section: 009 Introduction: Poly-Vinyl Alcohol (PVA) is a water-soluble synthetic polymer that will be used as one element to form the well know bouncing ball‚ along with Sodium Borate (borax)‚ which has a variety of uses because of its weak base. PVA is ideal for this experiment because it is odorless‚ nontoxic‚ has high tensile strength and flexibility. The

laboratory was performed to find the temperature change‚ heat of reaction‚ and enthalpy change for neutralization reactions. The temperature change was found by subtracting the initial temperature from the final temperature obtained. Heat of reaction is negative heat of solution. Heat of solution was found by using the formula qsolution = mCsΔT (m= mass; Cs= 4.184 J/g°C; and ΔT = change in temperature). The enthalpy change was found by dividing the heat of reaction by the number of moles of H2O formed. Procedure:

Lab Report Acids and Alkalis: Chemistry of Neutralization and Salt Formation Introduction: An acid is a group of chemicals. Acids are positively charged ions‚ they are liquid and are solutions of pure compounds in water. If you want to know if something is an acid‚ you can test it by using litmus paper. Acids will turn litmus paper red‚ whilst alkalis will turn it blue. Alkalis are negatively charged ions and are usually solid. Aim: To find out how much of different acids is needed to neutralize

the value of the sum for Reaction 1 and Reaction 2’s change in temperature‚ compared to Reaction 3’s change in temperature. Reaction 1 was the dissolution of solid sodium hydroxide in water with a ΔH°rxn of -47047 J/mol‚ Reaction 2 was the neutralization of liquid sodium hydroxide with HCl with a ΔH°rxn of -31289 J/mol and Reaction 3 was the dissolution and neutralization of solid NaOH with HCl with a ΔH°rxn of -91000 J/mol. Consequently‚ the sum of Reaction 1 and Reaction 2 was -78336 J/mol‚ similar

From the experiment‚ it was determined that Sodium chloride had a crystalline structure‚ even after being broken into smaller pieces with a hammer. Even though there was two different types of Sodium chloride‚ coarse and fine‚ they still had a symmetrical‚ three-dimensional shape. All ionic compounds have this structure. It was also found that Sodium chloride had a high melting point and sugar had a low melting point. This is because Sodium chloride is ionic and the bonds holding it together take
