First hand investigation of the Dissolution of Solutes Background Information Molar heat of solution * The molar heat of solution of a substance is the heat absorbed when one mole of the substance dissolves in a large excess of water. It is expressed in kJ/mol. * The specific heat of water is a constant‚ with a value of 4.18 J/ g*oC. AIM: To determine the molar heat of solution for two different solids Equipment: * A calorimeter (made using 2 Styrofoam cups with a cardboard lid)

Purpose Using a calorimeter‚ the experiment aimed to determine the specific heat of two different metals‚ Lead and Zinc‚ in order to calculate their individual atomic weight. Theory The calorimeter consists of a metal outer cup‚ a removable metal inner cup‚ which is held in place by a rubber ring‚ and an insulating lid with a small opening for a thermometer. It is a closed system as the air between the inner cup and outer cup insulates the water and heated metal‚ so‚ ideally‚ all heat is contained

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

Experiment 1: Calorimetry Nadya Patrica E. Sauza‚ Jelica D. Estacio Institute of Chemistry‚ University of the Philippines‚ Diliman‚ Quezon City 1101 Philippines Results and Discussion Eight Styrofoam ball calorimeters were calibrated. Five milliliters of 1M hydrochloric acid (HCl) was reacted with 10 ml of 1M sodium hydroxide (NaOH) in each calorimeter. The temperature before and after the reaction were recorded; the change in temperature (∆T) was calculated by subtracting the initial temperature

Experiment: Calorimetry Laboratory Experiment – Heat of Solution Aim: The aim was to use calorimetric measurements to calculate the molar heat of solution of NaOH and NH4NO3. Method: 1. 50g of water was poured into a clean polystyrene calorimeter (Styrofoam cup) and the initial temperature was measured. 2. A teaspoon of 2g of the selected salt was measured and added into the water. 3. The solution was stirred and the final temperature was measured when the solution stabilised and the results

Date: 16/01/2013 Title: To investigative the Energy Content of Different Foods. Identifying the problem: The energy content of a food sample‚ of known mass‚ was investigated by using a single calorimeter and the word equation below: Heat energy (J) = Mass (g) x Specific heat capacity of water (4.25/g°C for water) x Change in temperature (°C). Dividing the resulting energy value by grams of food burned gives the energy content (in J/g). I predict that that the Brazil nuts
