Thermochemistry Lab #2 - Heat of Reaction - Hess’s Law Return The foundation of the study of thermochemistry was laid by the chemist Germain Hess‚ who investigated heat in chemical reactions during the last century. One statement of the law that bears Hess’s name says: The enthalpy change for any reaction depends on the products and reactants and is independent of the pathway or the number of steps between the reactant and product. In this experiment‚ you will measure and compare

The purpose of this investigation was to determine which type of alcohol (ethanol‚ butan-1-ol‚ or propan-2-ol) contains the most energy per gram. It was expected that if we burn three alcohols (ethanol‚ propan-2-ol‚ and butan-1-ol) for 2 minutes‚ then butan-1-ol will release the most energy per gram (J/g) because butan-1-ol contains more carbon atoms than other alcohols which means more energy is required to break its chemical bonds and more energy will be released when new chemical bonds are formed

Modern methods of food production have altered radically from processes used in the past. Many food producing companies have invented their own improved techniques of cooking. Most of these procedures contain numerous different forms of chemical additives and one of the newest chemical substances that will enhance food flavor is monosodium glutamate (MSG). Even though it has no taste of its own‚ it intensifies considerably the taste of a wide variety of food as well as revealing flavors that could

These materials are widely used to treat raw water supplies that contain dissolved salts. Today‚ the most commonly used material is an ion exchange resin. Resins are plastic beads to which a favorable

KNES 470 Dr Rubin 4-18-12 Sodium Bicarbonate and Boxing Performance Boxing is a sport which relies on anaerobic power since it contains short-duration and high intensity work. A typical boxing match today consists of 3 minute rounds with a 1 minute seated recovery rest. When an athlete performs exercise at maximal level for more than 30 seconds‚ most of the energy comes from anaerobic glycolysis. During this process‚ lactic acid is produced which causes a decrease in pH levels within the muscle

Measuring Reaction Rate using Volume of Gas Produced By John Doe 23th October 2012 Introduction An essential element of chemistry is finding reaction rates. This is because chemists need to know how long a reaction should take. In addition to needing to know the rate of a reaction at any point in time to monitor how the reaction is proceeding. Many factors effect reaction rates‚ two shown above include temperature and concentration. Concentration affects the rate of reactions because the

Enzyme Reaction Rates Under Different Conditions Introduction In this lab you will observe how the rate of a reaction is changed as certain factors are changed. You will observe how changing factors like temperature‚ pH‚ substrate concentration‚ and enzyme concentration changes the rate of an enzymatic reaction. In this experiment you will act as an enzyme by breaking toothpicks witch act as substrates. After observing the results of this experiment you will be able to determine what causes the
