Experiment 3: Enthalpy of Various Reactions Introduction A coffee cup calorimeter is an apparatus that is used to measure the quantity of thermal energy gained or lost in a chemical reaction. This experiment utilizes this apparatus‚ which is made from two styrofoam cups with plastic lids and a thermometer‚ to measure changes in thermal energy of various reactions. When using this type of apparatus‚ it is assumed that no heat is transferred between the calorimeter and the surroundings‚ and that

Heat of Mixing: Ethanol and Water Abstract The temperature change when known amounts of water and ethanol were mixed was determined to see the enthalpy change in an isothermal and isobaric environment. Agreeable data was found compared to similar experiments. As the mole fraction increased of the solution so did the enthalpy until a certain limit of about 0.32. Since water’s structure and unique properties affect many aspects of a solution‚ the solutions enthalpy’s decreased at a certain time

After researching critical‚ triple‚ and melting point properties‚ other constants‚ and enthalpies of sublimation‚ fusion‚ and vaporization‚ many quantities were able to be calculated. The programs used to solve for these quantities were the Peng-Robinson Solver and Excel. These programs allowed for the calculations and comparisons of enthalpy versus temperature‚ specific heat versus temperature‚ the Joule-Thompson Coefficient versus temperature‚ pressure verses temperature

Zn(s) + CuSO4(aq) ------ Cu(s) + ZnSO4 (aq) The enthalpy changees for two different reactions will be determined practically. In the first‚ experiment delta H will be determined directly and account will be taken of heat losses by extrapolation of an appropriate graph. The second experiment involves teh inderect determination of an enthalpy change using Hess’ Law. The temperature can be measured manually but this experiment is ideal for using a data logger. In the first experiment we are trying

Is the enthalpy change‚ g → l‚ exothermic or endothermic? Explain. The enthalpy change is exothermic. Recall that energy is always released when new bonds form. Here‚ the phase change involves the formation of intermolecular attractions releasing energy as the particles adopt lower-energy

Medical Cold Packs- Thermochemistry Experiment 2.1 Purpose: To use calorimetry to determine the enthalpy of solution of an unknown salt‚ and then to use that value to identify the salt in the medical cold pack. Materials: See handout Procedure: 1. Acquire two styrofoam cups‚ and cut the top off one of them. 2. Add 80mL of water and record it’s initial temperature. 3. Place 10g of salt into the water and put second on top‚ creating a seal. 4. Record the temperature

Greek metry meaning to measure‚ is the science of measuring the amount of heat‚ q.1 The amount of heat is absorbed (endothermic where qrxn >0) or released (exothermic where qrxn <0) by the system with respect to its surroundings is the change in enthalpy‚ ΔH. This is quantified in calorimetry by a device called calorimeter. There are two types of calorimeters. The first type is the called the bomb calorimeter. It is ideally suited for measuring the heat evolved in a combustion reaction. Because

Thermochemistry Photo by: Arto Thermochemistry is the study of the heat released or absorbed as a result of chemical reactions. It is a branch of thermodynamics and is utilized by a wide range of scientists and engineers. For example‚ biochemists use thermochemistry to understand bioenergetics‚ whereas chemical engineers apply thermochemistry to design manufacturing plants. Chemical reactions involve the conversion of a set of substances collectively referred to as "reactants"
