told that sodium hydrogencarbonate decomposes on heating to give sodium carbonate‚ water and carbon dioxide as shown in the equation below:- 2NaHCO3(s)--------> Na2CO3 (s) + H2O (l) + CO2 (g) = DeltaH1 This was given as deltaH1 and we had to calculate as part of the experiment. This however cannot be measured directly‚ but can be found using the enthalpy changes from two other reactions. These being that of sodium hydrogencarbonate and hydrochloric acid and also sodium carbonate and hydrochloric

Potassium Hydroxide (KOH) Introduction Potassium hydroxide is an inorganic compound with the formula KOH‚ commonly called caustic potash. Along with sodium hydroxide (NaOH)‚ this colorless solid is a prototypical strong base. It has many industrial and niche applications. Most applications exploit its reactivity toward acids and its corrosive nature. In 2005‚ an estimated 700‚000 to 800‚000 tonnes were produced. Approximately 100 times more NaOH than KOH is produced annually. KOH is noteworthy

Research question : How does the different light intensity affect the rate of photosynthesis in plants? Objective : To investigate the relationship between different light intensity (by having the source of light at different distance to the plant discs which is at; 10cm‚ 15cm‚ 20cm‚ 25cm‚ 30cm‚ and 35cm ) and rate of photosynthesis of plant. Introduction : Photosynthesis is the process where light energy is absorbed by green plants to convert the raw materials (carbon dioxide and water) into

burner. The copper was allowed time to cool and the spatula was used to scrape its surface. Also a strip of Magnesium was heated in the bunsen burner and when it combusted it was held over the ceramic plate. In part 2 of the lab 3 scoops of hydrogen carbonate were heated in a test tube and a lit wooden splint was put in the opening of the test tube. Also in part 2 of the lab the same steps were repeated with copper sulfate. In part 3 of the lab 20 drops of HCl were added to a test tube with a

DISSCUSION: Carbonates are decomposed by heat into the corresponding oxides and carbon dioxide. The temperature of decomposition depends upon the activity of the metal; that is to say‚ the more active the metal‚ the more stable is the carbonate. Thus‚ the carbonates of sodium and potassium are stable at the highest temperature of a Bunsen burner flame‚ whereas the carbonates of silver and copper are easily decomposed. In this experiment copper (ii) carbonate will be decomposed at a high temperature

At this experiment‚ carbon dioxide and water were replaced by ‘Sodium hydrogen carbonate’ because this led to simpler procedures than using carbon dioxide and water separately. During photosynthesis‚ leaves only accept certain wavelength of light. For instance‚ most of leaves reflects radiation and receive blue and red colours
