Conclusions The purpose of this experiment was to find the relationship between a substance’s specific heat and its atomic weight. In the lab‚ the substances with the higher atomic weights had less specific heat. From this‚ we can conclude that specific heat and atomic weight have an inverse relationship‚ meaning as one decreases the other increases. The reason for this is because if atoms are small‚ or light‚ they have the ability to pack tightly together‚ leaving almost no space between them

Cooling Drinks 1. A value for the specific latent heat of fusion for water Specific latent heat is the amount of heat energy that is needed to change the state of one kilogram of a specific substance‚ whether it’s boiling or melting‚ without increasing or decreasing the temperature of the substance. Specific latent heat of fusion is the amount of heat energy that is needed to change a specific substance from solid to liquid. The specific latent heat of fusion for water is 334 KJ/ KG. Each

Calorimetry and Specific Heat Tessa Williams Chemistry 111 11/13/13 Abstract: In this experiment‚ the specific heat and the density of an unknown metal was determined in order to identify the unknown metal. The average specific heat of the unknown metal was 0.197˚C and was determined using a calorimeter. The density of the unknown metal was 6.57 g/mL and was determined using a cylinder and displacement. Using the specific heat value of the unknown metal and its density‚ it

Heat of Combustion Questions 1. When bonds are broken‚ energy is required. When bond are formed‚ energy is released. All combustion reactions are exothermic. Suggest a reason for this in terms of the bonds broken and bonds formed. The energy required to break the bonds is greater than the energy required to form. 2. Explain why the heat of combustion of alkanols increases as the length of the carbon chain increases. The heat of combustion of alkanol increases as the length of carbon chain

ANALYSIS On the first part of the experiment which is the determination of specific heat of metals. The obtained value of experimental specific heat of metal of aluminum and copper are 0.2152 calg-℃ and 0.0958 cal g-℃ ‚ respectively. It is a must to work faster in performing this experiment because working in an air-conditioned room greatly affects the result of the temperature. For the temperature values‚ the final temperature of mixture should not increase more than 1 ℃ compare

6 report Anita Dey Thursday 8am Abstract: We recently performed a liquid nitrogen experiment in finding the Latent heat of the substance. We isolated two parts of the experiment in order to find out how much evaporation of the liquid nitrogen was from the surroundings B and how much evaporation from the electricity G. 1. When a substance is undergoing a phase transition‚ more heat (energy) is being added to the Substance but its temperature (a way of measuring its energy) is not changing. Where

Molar Heat of Combustion Aim: To find the molar heat of combustion for four different alkanols: 1. Methanol 2. Ethanol 3. 1-Propanol 4. 1-Butanol - And to compare the experimental value with the theoretical. Background: The Molar Heat of Combustion of a substance is the heat liberated when 1 mole of the substance undergoes complete combustion with oxygen at standard atmospheric pressure‚ with the final products being carbon dioxide gas and liquid water.

Experiment to measure the latent heat of vaporisation of water Theory Latent heat of vaporisation is when a liquid is heated enough to start boiling‚ at this point‚ even if the source of heat keeps heating the liquid‚ the liquid’s temperature will not rise any further until all of the liquid is converted to gas. For example‚ if water is boiling in a kettle‚ and the kettle is left on whist the water is boiling‚ the water’s temperature will not exceed 100°C because all the heat energy from the kettle is
