Determining the enthalpy of neutralization by calorimetry Anam Iqbal Partner’s name: Danielle Hodgson TA’s name: Karinna Section # 003 Due date: November 24‚ 2009 Introduction The purpose of the experiment is to determine the enthalpy of neutralization reactions by calorimetry. Calorimetry‚ is the science of measuring the amount of heat. All calorimetric techniques are therefore based on the measurement of heat that may be generated (exothermic process) or consumed (endothermic process). The

This lab is performed in order to determine the total energy in a reaction between zinc and hydrochloric acid. The reaction is done twice‚ once to measure the heat of the reaction and again to determine the work done in the system. This is because Enthalpy equals heat plus work (∆H= ∆E+W). Heat and work can be broken down further into separate components so the equation used in lab is ∆H=mc∆T + PV. Many calculations are used in the lab to find out what cannot be measured directly (ex: volume). After
Premium Thermodynamics Energy Temperature
Enthalpy‚ represented by the sign ∆H in kJ/mol‚ is the heat change in a reaction. It shows whether how much heat is released or absorbed during the reaction. If the reaction is endothermic‚ the enthalpy would be positive and if the reaction is exothermic‚ the enthalpy would be negative. During a chemical reaction‚ which consists of breaking and creating bonds‚ heat is either absorbed or released. In this lab‚ the reaction uses the disassociation of an ionic compound ammonium nitrate shown in the

Calorimetry: Enthalpy of Neutralization Introduction: The purpose of this lab experiment was to determine the molar concentration of the unknown HCl by using a coffee cup calorimeter. A coffee cup calorimeter is made of Styrofoam cups with a thermometer that is placed from the top and into the calorimeter to measure the temperature as the reaction happens. The Styrofoam cup used for the calorimeter creates an isolated system as it acts as a heat insulator between the cup and the surrounding

cover the different approaches of entrepreneurship. The displacement school of thought is part of the major views. This school explains how the social surrounding can influence or restrict an individual to become an entrepreneur. In other words there is always certain factors that push or restrain an individual to become an entrepreneur. There are three major types of displacement that illustrate this theory. The first is Political displacement; it states that in some situation an individual is restrains

Relative Reactivity of Alkyl Halides Introduction Nucleophilic substitution of alkyl halides can proceed by two different mechanisms – the SN2 and the SN1. The purpose of the experiment was to identify the effects that the alkyl group and the halide-leaving group have on the rates of SN1 reactions‚ and the effect that the solvent has on the rates of SN1 and SN2 reactions. The SN1 mechanism is a two-step nucleophilic substitution‚ or unimolecular displacement. In the first step of the mechanism

Evaluating An Enthalpy Change That Cannot Be Measured Directly. Dr. Watson. Introduction. We were told that sodium hydrogencarbonate decomposes on heating to give sodium carbonate‚ water and carbon dioxide as shown in the equation below:- 2NaHCO3(s)--------> Na2CO3 (s) + H2O (l) + CO2 (g) = DeltaH1 This was given as deltaH1 and we had to calculate as part of the experiment. This however cannot be measured directly‚ but can be found using the enthalpy changes from two other reactions. These

A decomposition reaction happens when a compound breaks into two or more elements or compounds. Generally‚ for decomposition reactions heat‚ energy‚ light or electricity is needed to separate the compound. In a single displacement reaction‚ a single element replaces an element in a compound only if it is higher on the activity series. A mental can only replace another mental

Black’s Law Dictionary defines ‘displacement’ as ‘a forced removal of a person from the person’s home or country‚ especially because of war.’ Dictionary of Sociology defines ecological displacement as the process in which a stronger or more advanced group takes over an area (without military conquest- by economic pressure or sheer numbers) formerly occupied by a less advanced or weaker group. The Guiding Principles on Internal Displacement were formulated by a team of international legal scholars
