To determine the Van’t Hoff factor‚ the difference of temperatures of freezing water and a solution of magnesium chloride was determined. A Van’t Hoff factor average of 2.88 was found‚ which is close to the ideal Van’t Hoff factor value of 3. The enthalpy of dissolution was found using calorimetry. Various amounts

from 15 mL 1 M CuSO4 went up to 31.5 °C upon addition of a 0.05-gram Zinc dust. Therefore‚ it is an exothermic process. All other neutralizations and reactions in the experiment have negative enthalpy values‚ so they are also exothermic. It is therefore concluded that the factors that determine the enthalpy values of reactions are the kinds of reaction that have occurred and the nature of reactants involved.

Experiment I: Thermochemistry Background: Thermochemistry is the branch of chemistry that focuses on the studies of chemical reactions or physical changes and heat associated with chemical reactions. According to the first law of thermodynamics‚ energy cannot be created or destroyed but it can be converted from one form into another and/or transferred between different atoms‚ molecules‚ or substances. In general‚ energy can be classified into two categories: kinetic and potential. Kinetic energy

including enthalpy of reaction‚ heat of formation‚ Hess’s Law‚ and calorimetry. The enthalpy of reaction‚ ΔHrxn is the heat or enthalpy change for a chemical reaction. The energy change is equal to the amount of heat transferred at a constant pressure in the reaction. The change represents the difference in enthalpy of the products and the reactants and is independent of the steps in going from reactants from products. The heat of formation (ΔH°f)‚ which is also known as standard enthalpy of formation

endothermic change. For example‚ cold packs used to relieve swelling joints or muscles often use chemicals that absorb heat when mixed‚ so the packs feel cold. When a reaction is carried out under constant pressure‚ the heat of a reaction is defined as the enthalpy change for the reaction (ΔH). Since most reactions occur under constant atmospheric pressure‚ the heat of a reaction is equal to ΔH‚ which is generally reported in units of kilojoules (kJ) per mole of the reactants and products as shown in the balanced

Is the enthalpy change‚ g → l‚ exothermic or endothermic? Explain. The enthalpy change is exothermic. Recall that energy is always released when new bonds form. Here‚ the phase change involves the formation of intermolecular attractions releasing energy as the particles adopt lower-energy

The Calorimeters Calorimeters are a device that can measure the heat that comes from burning an item. Simple Calorimeter A simple calorimeter is used to detect the enthalpy change when a fuel is burned. The fuel is burnt to heat a specific mass of water and then measure its rise in temperature. The word calorimeter comes from the Latin phrase calor which means heat. A simple calorimeter just consists of a thermometer attached to a metal container full of water suspended above a combustion chamber

5.2.2 Enthalpy and Entropy For 2013-2014 S for melting vs. boiling Discuss How do chemists work out whether a reaction will happen or not? There are various ways including equilibrium constants‚ standard electrode potentials and enthalpy values. But how are these related? There is a more fundamental concept which links all these together. Remember? Enthalpy is a measure of heat energy and ΔH is the enthalpy change which we studied at AS. Questions 1. Which sign for ΔH would

absorbs heat. Enthalpy of reaction : The change in internal energy (H) through a reaction is △H. 6.1.3 △H will be negative for exothermic reactions (because internal heat is being lost) and positive for endothermic reactions (because internal energy is being gained). 6.1.4 The most stable state is where all energy has been released. Therefore when going to a more stable state‚ energy will be released‚ and when going to a less stable state‚ energy will be gained. On an enthalpy level diagram‚
