LAB OF ENTHALPY CHANGE IN COMBUSTION Objective: Determine the Enthalpy change of combustion ΔHc of three different alcohols. Methanol‚ Ethanol and Isopropilic acid. Procedure: 1. Fill the spirit micro burner with Ethanol and weight it 2. Pour 100 cm3 of water into the aluminum cup 3. Arrange the cup a short distance over the micro burner 4. Measure the temperature of water 5. When the temperature of the water has risen by 10°C‚ record the temperature. 6. Reweight

Introduction Chemical kinetics is the study of reaction rates. A reaction rate is the speed of the change in either reactants or products over a period of time. General kinetic rate equation is: Where [A] and [B] are the concentration of the species in the reaction. The variable k is the rate constant‚ which is a function of time and catalyst presence. The variables m and n are the order of reaction for their respective species concentration. The higher the value of the reaction order the

Abstract This lab’s purpose was to test the patterns of percolation in various places. This lab tested how soil would absorb water based on different places. Distance from a group of trees‚ distance from a swamp‚ and different types of soil were tested. From the results collected‚ you can not prove‚ but you can infer that the ability to absorb increases as you go farther away from a swamp‚ and a group of trees. The ability to absorb also increases based on how much silt is in soil. Introduction

4‚ April‚ 2013 Introduction Engineers study the properties of materials to help choose the right kind of materials for a specific application. After material is chosen‚ one way to improve upon its properties is to apply heat treatment processes. A heat treatment involves rapid heating or cooling of a metal or alloy at extreme temperatures. For decades‚ engineers obtain desirable strength and hardness by austenitizing the steel and then quenching it to form martensitic structure. After

Pre-Lab Work Sheet Which type of compound usually has higher melting points: ionic compounds or covalent compounds? What is the reason for this difference in melting points? (3 points) Ionic compounds have higher melting and boiling points than covalent compounds. The electrostatic attraction in an ionic bond is very strong hence a lot of heat energy is required to break it down‚ ionic bonds have high melting and boiling points. In covalent bonds‚ the intermolecular forces are very weak and

Laboratory safety is an integral part of any lab experience. If the participants are unkempt or precarious‚ they can easily cause a huge accident or even tragedy. When working in the lab‚ so many different hazards are faced. The rules of the laboratory are in place to ensure that one does not hurt themselves‚ let alone everyone else in the room or even the whole building. Each person needs to be responsible for themselves‚ while also watching for potential dangers others may not notice. The first

Chapter 28: Nursing Management: Lower Respiratory Problems Test Bank MULTIPLE CHOICE 1. Following assessment of a patient with pneumonia‚ the nurse identifies a nursing diagnosis of ineffective airway clearance. Which assessment data best supports this diagnosis? a. Weak‚ nonproductive cough effort b. Large amounts of greenish sputum c. Respiratory rate of 28 breaths/minute d. Resting pulse oximetry (SpO2) of 85% ANS: A The weak‚ nonproductive cough indicates that the patient is unable to clear

sunlight to heat energy and retaining the heat for cooking. To make the process work‚ you cover as much of the box as possible with reflective material in order to catch as much sunlight as possible. In this case‚ you are using tin foil. The cooking surface is black construction paper because it retains heat very well. If you’ve ever worn a black shirt on a sunny day‚ or sat down on the black seat of a car in the summer‚ you know that black surfaces absorb and retain a lot of heat. Ouch! As heat is retained

working with the lab equipment‚ specifically heating and measuring‚ and to be able to create some of the apparatus that future experiments will require. Heating methods used were an aluminum block‚ a sand bath‚ and a water bath. The aluminum block heated most quickly while the others were more stable. Regarding the measurement of water‚ the less volume of water that was being transferred‚ the less accurate the measurement turned out to be. Heating Methods: Aluminum block: Heat setting Temperature
