Thermodynamic Properties Of Exothermic Reaction

1054 Words5 Pages

AIM
Design an experiment to study a thermodynamic property of a chemical substance, a chemical reaction, a physical change or chemical phenomenon.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Standard enthalpy change of solution, ∆Hsolnø, is the enthalpy change when one mole of a substance dissolves in water to form a solution of infinite dilution under standard conditions.1 The standard enthalpy change can either be exothermic or endothermic.
An exothermic reaction is a reaction where energy is released as a form of heat or light. This is usually denoted by a negative enthalpy change. The heat that is released in the reaction causes the surrounding temperatures to increase. Some exothermic reactions include corrosion, combustion, neutralization, decomposition and …show more content…

This is usually denoted by a positive enthalpy change. This indicates a gain in net energy. The heat that is absorbed in the system in the reaction causes the surrounding temperature to decrease. Some endothermic reactions include photosynthesis, melting of ice

A hot plate was placed under the ring stand. 50 mL of 3.0 M NaOH in a 250 mL beaker and a stir bar was placed in the beaker. The beaker with NaOH was placed on the hot plate and 3.75 grams of NaAlO2*5H2O was placed in the beaker. The temperature probe was placed in the beaker with the solution, not touching the bottom of the beaker. The solution was heated and stirred till the solution dissolved.

Our objective was to pick the best chemical to be used in a hand warm. This chemical had to be cheap, relatively safe, and must raise the temperature by 20oC and no more. We add 6 different chemicals to water we record the inshell temperature and then add one a the 6 chemicals to the water and record the temperature change of the water. We also add cold water hot water together to find how much heat would escape the calorimeter. We found that the calorimeter absorbed 71.1J/oC. Then this information to calculate the energy that was released by all of the chemical reaction.

This reaction does not cause a rise in temperature. One other source is triboluminescence which is light produced from friction. Another source is electric discharge which is light produced when an electrical current passes through air or another, like neon, that produces a glow. Another source is light-emitting diode which is light produced when an electrical current passes through a semi-conductor which controls how well is conducts electricity.

Repeat steps 1-10 for two more trials. Conclusion: 1. I chose to compare temperature and amount of reactants in my experiments. I chose these because I thought they would reveal the the most drastic time differences. I also chose these factors because I had prior knowledge of them before I even started chemistry.

After I rinsed the copper I transferred it to a watch glass that had been baked for 20 minutes so it would not contain any liquid so as to not counteract the experiment. After I put the copper on this watch glass I baked the copper in the oven for 20 minutes so there would be no liquid left in that to mess up the mass. After 20 minutes I removed the watch glass with the copper in it and weighed itm making sure to weigh the watch glass

Research question What is the effect of temperature Amylase activity? Word count-1453 Background research Enzymes are biological catalysts that speed up a chemical reactions. They do this by decreasing the activation energy(the energy needed to start the reaction) of a chemical reaction. The enzyme present in our saliva is called Amylase. Amylase increases the rate of reaction by decreasing the activation energy needed to hydrolyse the starch molecules.

DESIGN PSOW Ajit Rajendran 13H   To Determine the Time Taken for a muffin paper cup to reach the ground, while Changing the Height of each experiment Introduction: In this experiment the aim is to determine the time taken for an empty muffin paper cup to reach the ground, by changing the height the empty cup is dropped from. Both variable mentioned are going to measured (height and time taken), when conducting the experiment. In order to have a fair experiment, certain factors will be kept the same throughout the experiment: the same paper cup will be used, the dimensions of the paper cup will be constant (where external factors do not affect the shape), the method in which the paper cup will be dropped.

It is a subcategory of the standard enthalpy of reaction and defined as the energy released with the formation of 1 mole of water (Enthalpy of neutralization, 2018). Standard enthalpy of reaction is the enthalpy change that occurs in a system when matter is transformed by a chemical reaction. All products and reactants must be in their standard state (Standard enthalpy of reaction, 2017). The standard enthalpy change can be found by dividing the heat released during the reaction by the number of moles involved in the reaction (Enthalpy of neutralization,
