Engineering Laboratory Submitted to Prof. David B. Henthorn September 25‚ 2012 Summary The goal of this project was to determine the pre-exponential factor‚ k o ‚ the activation energy‚ E‚ and the reaction rate constants‚ k‚ of the saponification process of ethyl acetate using sodium hydroxide (NaOH) at 5 temperature between 15 and 25 degrees Celsius. Two trails were performed at temperatures 16‚ 18‚ 20‚ 22‚ and 24 degrees Celsius. The main equipment of the project were the jacketed beaker batch reactor

10/19/2011 Akruti Patel Lab Report #4: Determination of a chemical formula: the empirical formula of Magnesium Oxide 1. Purpose: Determine the empirical formula of magnesium oxide from the percent composition (this can found using the Analytical Method and the Synthesis Method). 2. Introduction: In the late eighteenth century‚ combustion has been studied extensively. In fact‚ according to Steven and Susan Zumdahl‚ Antoine Lavoisier‚ a French Chemist‚ performed thousands of combustion experiments

Determination of pKa James McDuffie ABSTRACT: In this lab‚ the pKa of unknown solution #4 was measured Introduction: This lab focused on the equilibrium constant‚ Ka. Ka is associated with chemical properties of acids. The equivalence point will be reached once the moles of OH- equal the moles of HA and once this point is reached‚ the PH changes very quickly. With the results‚ a titration curve should be produced. Experimental Section Materials and Methods: A buret with NaOH solution

Lab: Electrostatic Coulomb Constant Rylee Rose Date: 1/28/13 Abstract: This experiment was done to study electrostatic and Coulomb’s law. Objective: The objective was to demonstrate the veracity of Coulomb’s Law. This was done by observing different equilibrium conditions of two pith balls that were equally charged. They were then constructed into a pendulum using strings. Calculations were done to determine the charge on pith balls‚ calculate the mass of the pith balls and to calculate

Which is more important- talent or determination? In the movie GATTACA‚ Vincent is part of a minority- those whose genes have not been manipulated before birth. He is known as an invalid. He has a heart problem‚ and a short life expectancy. With constant genetic testing in the workplace‚ and genetics playing such a huge role in his life‚ it will be difficult Vincent to get ahead. He dreams of space travel‚ but it seems unlikely for him. His brother Anton‚ however‚ who is a valid‚ or someone whose

Experiment 2 Lab Report: Calculating the Spring Constant and Verifying that Energy is Conserved Within a System Abstract: An experiment was conducted to determine the spring constant of a spring in the cart by measuring the force required to compress a spring as well as the distance the spring compressed relative to the equilibrium position. A cart was placed onto a slanted track and speed and force censors were used to record appropriate data. The spring constant was determined

Tittle: Determination of moisture Objectives: 1. To determine the moisture content of selected food samples using drying oven method 2. To determine the moisture content of selected food samples using moisture analyzer. Introduction: Moisture content is one of the most commonly measured properties of food materials. The choice of an analytical procedure for a particular application depends on the nature of the food being analyzed and the reason the information is needed. In this experiment

E. Reactions of Aldehydes and Ketones with Sodium Hydroxide Objectives: To know the reactions of aldehydes and ketones with sodium hydroxide a) State the function of Sodium Hydroxide in the test. Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) is the oxidizing agent. b) What are the principles involved in the test? What is its purpose? Cannizzaro reaction is a reaction that uses a strong base‚ such as sodium hydroxide‚ which results to the formation of a carboxylic acid (or its corresponding salt) and an alcohol
