Heat of Formation of Magnesium Oxide Objetive: To determine the heat formation of MgO (Magnesium Oxide) using Hess’s Law‚ which states the heat within a chemical reaction is independent of the pathway between the initial and final states. Introduction: Chemical reactions require heat energy to complete‚ called an endothermic reaction‚ or produce heat energy‚ and thus called an exothermic reaction. The heat energy produced by such reactions can be measured using a calorimeter‚ a piece

other polar molecules will be. The next two alcohols were ethanol and propanol which followed the predicted pattern at 13.2 ºC and 5.3 ºC respectively. Butanol had the smallest change in temperature‚ 2.5 ºC which indicates much less evaporation. This leads to believe that butanol has the strongest intermolecular forces of the 4 alcohols tested. This is supported by the fact that butanol is the largest of the four‚ and has the most electrons‚ and therefore is the most polarizable. Interestingly‚ water

The independent variable will be the mass of magnesium ribbon as different measurements will be taken and used for each trial. The dependant variable will be the mass of Magnesium Oxide‚ this is a measured variable as the mass of oxygen can be calculated and will enable us to determine the formula for Magnesium Oxide. The controlled variable is that the Magnesium used is possibly from the same ribbon and after being cut into lengths was stored in the same way in plastic containers. Preliminary -

COMBUSTION OF MAGNESIUM OXIDE DESIGN Aim/Purpose: To calculate the number of moles and the empirical formula of magnesium oxide. Safety precautions: 1) Wear lab coat 2) Wear gogles. 3)Make sure the bunsen burner is working properly and their is no leakage. 4) Wear gloves. Hypothesis: The weight of the magnesium ribbon increases after burning‚ so this indicated that their was a change in mass. This change happened because of the magnesium ribbon inside the crucible which reacted with Oxygen

The Effect of the Concentration of Sulphuric Acid on the Reaction Rate with Magnesium Sarah Cain SCH 4UB Mr. Lankin April 1‚ 2009 Introduction The nature of the problem is to design an investigation that examines a variable affecting the reaction rate. In this experiment‚ magnesium will be reacted with different concentrations of sulphuric acid. The reaction is shown by the following chemical equation: H2SO4 (l) + Mg (s) → MgSO4 (aq) + H2

Experiment: DNA damage and mutations in human cells when exposed to nitric oxide Aim: To examine mutations after in vitro exposure of nitric oxide to human cells. Abstract: Nitric oxide (NO) is a anatomical carrier formed by various cell types. In this experiment nitric oxide is made to react with undamaged human cells and solutions of DNA‚ RNA ‚ guanine or adenine in aerobic conditions. TK6 human lymphoblastoid cells were altered. It has been observed that deamination of purines‚ pyrimidines

Acid Base Titration bre’ana March 1‚ 2013 Purpose: The purpose of this experiment is to determine the concentration of a solution of NaOH by titration with a standard solution of HCl. It was also the purpose to determine the concentration of a sample of white vinegar by titration with a standard solution of NaOH. Introduction: Using the method of titration is how the experiment gets to the conclusion of the concentration of a solution. When doing this experiment‚ measurement is very important

The purpose of the experiment was to perform an electrophilic addition reaction by the bromination of cinnamic acid. The product of this reaction is 3-Phenyl-2‚3-dibromo propionic acid‚ which is purified by recrystallization. Cinnamic acid (3-phenylprop-2-enoic acid) is an unsaturated carboxylic acid. The electron rich π cloud (see Figure 1) in the double bond of this structure is nucleophilic and can be considered a Lewis base. It can therefore be saturated by the addition of a halogen to the double

Ammonia and Hydrochloric Acid Lab Chemistry 1 Abstract The straw should be cut shorter to 8 cm in order to make the solid ring appear in the center of the straw. We achieved our goal‚ cutting the straw caused the gases to not have to go as far‚ and meet in the middle. Background The particles in a gas are very loose and tend to move around a lot very quickly. The particles in a solid are very compact and vibrate but don’t really move very much. The particles in a liquid however are more
