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

Investigating the rate of reaction between Marble Chips (Calcium Carbonate) and hydrochloric acid Aim. In the investigation I am going to find out how the surface area affects the rate of reaction by measuring the amount of gas produced and weight loss in a reaction between small/large pieces of Marble Chips (Calcium Carbonate) and Hydrochloric acid per minute. Hypothesis. The rate of reaction increases when the surface area of a solid reactant is increased. This happens because by

Investigating How Concentration of Acid Affects the Reaction Between Calcium Carbonate and Hydrochloric Acid Introduction ============ According to the collision theory temperature‚ concentration‚ surface area and catalysts all affect rates of reaction as shown in the diagrams below. Increasing any of these should increase the number of collisions and so increase the reaction rate up to an optimum point. Increasing the temperature causes the particles to collide with more

Oxygen (O) Human beings obtain this element from the air. It enters a person’s bloodstream through the lungs. The blood carries oxygen to the cells of the body. In the cells‚ oxygen combines with chemicals obtained from food. Energy produced during this process makes it possible for each cell to perform its function in the body. Also‚ oxygen atoms are present in water and water is essential to all life. It is present in many organic compounds. While oxygen is necessary for life‚ oxygen as ozone

determine the quantity of zinc chloride that is produced in a chemical change from a given amount of zinc. Background: We used two important laws of chemistry in this lab. Firstly‚ the Law of Conservation of Mass states that matter is neither created nor destroyed during a chemical reaction and the mass of a system should therefore remain constant during any chemical process. In other words‚ the mass of any one

Abstract This lab is performed in order to determine the total energy in a reaction between zinc and hydrochloric acid. The reaction is done twice‚ once to measure the heat of the reaction and again to determine the work done in the system. This is because Enthalpy equals heat plus work (∆H= ∆E+W). Heat and work can be broken down further into separate components so the equation used in lab is ∆H=mc∆T + PV. Many calculations are used in the lab to find out what cannot be measured directly (ex:
