Hess’s Law and the Molar Enthalpy of Combustion for Magnesium Purpose: The purpose of the lab ultimately is to find the molar enthalpy of magnesium. This is done by finding the enthalpy changes of reactions (2) and (3). The enthalpy changes of reactions (2) and (3) along with the enthalpy change given for reaction (4) can be used to arrive at a value of the molar enthalpy of combustion of magnesium by using Hess’s Law. Hypothesis: By using Hess’s law to calculate the molar enthalpy of combustion

Title: Studying SN1 and SN2 Reactions: Nucleophilic Substitutions at the saturated carbon Lab Partner: Jeszie Geronimo Objective and purpose: the purpose of this experiment is to convert a primary alcohol to an alkyl bromide using a Sn2 Reaction. Investigate some factors that influence the rate of Sn1 reactions. The second part of this lab will focus more on how unlike factors influence the rate of reactions in anSN1 reactions. The factors that we will be inspecting are the leaving groups‚ Cl-

Experiments described were performed by me and/or my lab group and this write-up is entirely my own creative work.” X________________________________________ Introduction Enzymes are protein molecules that speed up the rate of reactions by reducing the activation energy of a reaction. They act as catalysts in reactions‚ increasing the rate at which a normally

The purpose of this lab was to determine how different conditions could affect one’s heart rate. In the life of a human‚ the heart beats approximately forty-five million times per year varying based off of factors like age‚ gender‚ physical activity level (1). Furthermore‚ throughout the course of a day‚ the heart can vary in its heart rate from a number of different environmental changes such as prolonged standing‚ altered breathing (inhale vs. exhale)‚ and jolts of excitement such as being startled

In the Law and Order episode‚ “The Harvest” the decision that is made in court‚ is my decision as well. Both Dr. Cosgrove and Elias are completely guilty. In the beginning‚ Nancy O’Neal is riding home with her husband‚ Marty‚ in the car on the passenger’s side. Not intended as the target‚ Nancy is shot by an unknown shooter. This wound ultimately puts her in the hospital unresponsive. Detectives Briscoe and Curtis easily track down the shooter known as Elias Camacho. Elias stated that he just intended

LCT and UCT causes the endotherm’s metabolic rate to increase. We can hypothesize that when the temperature falls below the LCT or above the UCT‚ the percent O2 consumption will increase‚ and thus‚ the metabolic rate. The hypothesis was supported by the result received in this lab. The thermal neutral zone (TNZ) of an endotherm is its temperature tolerance range. For the mouse‚ this is about room temperature. It is seen that in the TNZ‚ the metabolic rate decreases from about 1.75 to 1 (Fig 1). During

Gas Laws Lab Introduction: The four basic physical properties of a gas sample are pressure‚ volume‚ temperature‚ and number of moles. The volume simply indicates the volume of the container since a gas will take up all space available to it. The temperature indicates the average kinetic energy of the gas particles. For gases‚ the temperature must be converted to the Kelvin unit. The pressure of the gas indicates the number of collisions with each other and the wall of the container. The number

How much is it? How does reaction time change with practice? THEORETICAL The reaction time is the amount of time required to sense astimulus‚ analyze its meaning‚ and respond. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity. Velocity is speed with direction. Displacement is

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 as the change in kinetic and thermal energy. Hess’s law states that the enthalpy change of a reaction will result
