DATE PERFORMED: JULY 20‚ 2007 SPECTROPHOTOMETRIC DETERMINATION OF EQUILIBRIUM CONSTANT FOR A REACTION ABSTRACT UV-VIS spectrophotometry is one of the most widely-used methods for determining and identifying many inorganic species. During this experiment‚ this spectrophotometry was used to determine the equilibrium constant‚ Keq‚ of the Fe3+(aq)+SCN-(aq)↔ FeSCN2+(aq) reaction. By determining the amount of light absorbed‚ the concentration of the colored FeSCN2+ solution was also quantitatively

The purpose of this experiment is to find what design of calorimeter captured the most energy from a combusted chip. To find this‚ we tested each design‚ and calculated the amount of energy it captured from a baked potato chip. The two basic forms of energy are kinetic energy and potential energy. Kinetic energy is the energy of motion. A ball has kinetic energy when it flies through the air. The ball has the ability to do work in that it can act upon other objects with when it collides. Potential

formation (∆H°F) of MgO‚ using a calorimeter and determining the enthalpy of two reactions. Applying Hess’ law we were able to determine the standard heat formation of MgO. Introduction Energy exchanged in a chemical reaction can either be in the form of heat or light. If light is involved a glow is seen‚ if heat is involved the temperature of the system will change(lab manual page 35). The amount of heat exchanged under constant pressure is called the enthalpy change‚ this can either be endothermic

Measuring the Enthalpy change of combustion Abstract This simple experiment is carried out to show the difference in the enthalpy change of combustion between two fuels‚ hexane and methanol. These fuels are individually weighed before and after used as heat source to heat water in a calorimeter. The result is used to find out amount of heat transferred by the fuel‚ amount of fuel used and the enthalpy change of combustion. Introduction Enthalpy change of combustion is the enthalpy change when

Determination of the heat of Combustion of Biodiesel Using Bomb Calorimetry Abstract: In this experiment‚ biodiesel fuel was synthesized from vegetable oil. Biodiesel is considered “green” and better for the environment because it is biodegradable. The heat of combustion was then determined using a bomb calorimeter. Introduction: Petroleum is the largest single source of energy consumed by the world’s population‚ exceeding coal‚ natural gas‚ nuclear‚ hydro‚ and renewables (3). It is predicted that
