Enthalpy change of magnesium in combustion Rui Shen Chemistry 4U – Ms .Brazier 2/28/2013 Introduction: Hess ’s law is a terminology in chemistry named after Germain Hess‚ a Swiss-born Russian chemist and physician who published it in 1840. The law states that the total enthalpy change during the complete course of a reaction is the same whether the reaction is made in one step or in several steps. Enthalpy cannot be directly measured‚ but rather the change in enthalpy. Enthalpy is described

Mole Ratio of a Chemical Reaction: Copper & Silver Nitrate Lab #4 OBJECTIVE In this experiment‚ you will determine the number of moles of reactants and products present in the reaction of copper and silver nitrate‚ and calculate their mole-to-mole ratio. The mole-to-mole ratio relating to the disappearance of copper and the formation of silver metal will be used to write the balanced equation for the reaction. The reaction of copper metal with silver nitrate solution is a single

a byproduct that causes the notorious “Fizz”. The objective of the lab was to measure the % of NaCO3 in an Alka-Seltzer tablet in different measures of an acidic solution (Vinegar). Through understanding of stoichiometric relationships and limiting reactants‚ quantities of substances yielded or consumed in a reaction can be determined by analyzing the amount of material involved. A vinegar-water solution is employed in this experiment because a fixed amount of NaCO3 can be reacted in pure water

Preparation of Fruit Flavors (Pear) Abstract. In this experiment an assigned Ester is prepared‚ particularly n-Propanol. The Preparation was done via Fischer reaction. In this reaction‚ a reflux set-up is required. The reflux set-up was used in the liquid-liquid extraction. After adding an immiscible solution to the compound containing n-Propanol‚ the mixture now will have two layer: the Organic and Aqueous layer. The organic layer is the extract needed and its % yield is computed resulting to

Chemistry 211 The Formula of Lead (II) Iodide The Analysis of a Chemical Reaction Introduction This experiment is based upon a discovery made through the isolation of PbI2 using a particular scientific method‚ which studies ratios of lead to iodine. Precipitation reactions occur when oppositely charged ions attract and form an insoluble ionic solid. This experiment examines the precipitation reaction between lead (II) nitrate‚ Pb(NO3)2‚ and potassium iodide‚ KI. Both are dissolved in water

solutions that contain soluble salts are combined. Some additional scientific concepts investigated in this lab are insolubility‚ double replacement‚ and limiting reactants. Insolubility occurs when a solute is incapable of dissolving in a solvent. A double replacement occurs when both of the compounds’ cations are exchanged. Lastly‚ limiting reactants are factors that limit and determine the amount of product produced. All of these concepts come together to

temperature range. The procedure performed in our experiment involved chemically reacting salicylic acid and acetic anhydride in order to form acetyl salicylic acid. The limiting reactant in this chemical reaction was salicylic acid‚ with acetic anhydride present in excess in order to react with any water produced during the reaction of the reactants‚ and thus improve the yield of aspirin. The addition of a catalyst‚ 85% phosphoric acid‚ facilitated an increase in the reaction rate during the initial synthesis

This reaction is characterized by the combining of an alcohol and an acid (with an acid catalyst) to yield and ester plus water. In order to accomplish this reaction‚ the reactants were refluxed for 30 minutes at 80 degrees Celsius ‚to yield a mixture‚ the mixture was then mixed with sodium hydrogen carbonate and dried with anhydrous sodium sulfate. The product obtained from this reaction was then weighed and yielded 3.5753g
