2. a) Andrea’s balance is more precise than Andrew’s. b) Brian’s balance is more accurate than Brenda’s. What important characteristics of the four balances are implied by these statements? Give examples. Andrea will be able to read her balance to a greater number of significant figures than Andrew since her balance is more precise. Her successive measurements will also be less variable than Andrew’s measurements. Ex. If three measurements are taken by Andrea (1.7 mL‚ 1.7 mL and

Enthalpy of Neutralization Introduction Energy changes always accompany chemical reactions. If energy‚ in the form of heat‚ is liberated the reaction is exothermic and if energy is absorbed the reaction is endothermic. Thermochemistry is concerned with the measurement of the amount of heat evolved or absorbed. The heat (or enthalpy) of neutralization (∆H) is the heat evolved when an acid and a base react to form a salt plus water. Eq. 1 HNO2(aq) + NAOH(aq) → NaNO2(aq) + H2O(l) + Q Q in the

Calorimeter Determination of Reaction Enthalpy 9/11/2014 Introduction: A chemical reaction often indicated by a transfer of energy measured in heat. By measuring this heat transfer in a constant pressurized environment‚ the enthalpy of the reaction can be used to infer certain information about a specific reactions reactants and products. The transfer of heat from outside sources in would be described as an endothermic reaction. Contrary‚ when a reaction releases heat out to its surroundings
