Distillation is a liquid purification process using heating and cooling. Real World Application Vapor pressure is used in distillation to purify a compound by separating it from non-volatile material. The lowering of the vapor pressure causes molecular movement along the surface of a liquid and through processes of evaporation and vapor cooling; the compound is separated and distilled into its purer forms. Distillation there are many uses for colligative properties in the real world, and decreasing of vapor pressure is among the many that are implemented into modern techniques and technology today. "Colligative Properties of Solutions."
Distillation is used to purify a compound by separating it from a non-volatile or less-volatile material. When different compounds in a mixture have different boiling points, they separate into individual components when the mixture is carefully distilled. The boiling point is the temperature at which the vapor pressure of the liquid phase of a compound equals the external pressure acting on the surface of the liquid. The external pressure is usually the atmospheric pressure. Different compounds boil at different temperatures because each has a different, characteristic vapor pressure: compounds with higher vapor pressures will boil at lower temperatures.
The study of specific heat falls under the category of Thermochemistry which is further divided into the category of Calorimetry. An instrument called a calorimeter is used to measure specific heat. A piece of metal is placed in a container of water. This is then boiled. The piece of metal is then taken out of the boiling water and placed in a calorimeter which contains room temperature water.
What is the relationship of time to temperature in heat sterilization? Explain. Exercise 2: The autoclave 1. Define the principles of sterilization with an autoclave and with a dry heat oven. 2.
Name: 6.03: Calorimetry Data and Observations: Part I: Insert a complete data table, including appropriate significant figures and units, in the space below. Also include any observations that you made over the course of part I. (4 points) I observed that when the metal is placed inside the calorimeter, it transfers heat to the water making the water increase temperature while the metal will decrease temperature. I also noticed that the system was the metal and the surroundings is the water, this is because the water is taking in the heat from the metal making the water warm.

When an endothermic reaction occurs, heat it taken in making the pack cool down, and in an exothermic reaction occurs heat is released making the pack warm up. This is able to happen because the energy from the environment (surroundings) is either being absorbed or released to help the crystalline substance to dissolve. One will be able to tell if the substance will be a good candidate for a hot pack or cold pack based on change in temperature. If there is a negative change in temperature than an endothermic reaction has occurred, lowing the temperature of the content in the cold pack. Then when an exothermic reaction occurs, the temperature change is positive, making it a good candidate for a hot pack.

I ended up holding the test tube assembly to where the bottom of the test tube was not touching the bottom of the beaker to ensure better readings. Also, when substances recrystallize, I am not sure whether to take a reading when the substance has full crystallized or begun to so results could be fairly inaccurate. Questions: A. Why is it useful
When the fuels combust, oxygen and fuels react, and heat released. The water then absorbed the heat from the combustion. In this experiment the calorimeter of energy is used to measure the temperature of the heat that is released from the cashew. The equation to find the energy produce during
UNCW Honors Chemistry Lab #1- Laboratory Safety and Boiling Water Date Started: 8/26/11__________________ Date Completed __________________ Purpose: To determine the temperature at which water boils. To learn how boiling and melting are physical changes. Background Information/Observations: 1) Explain the most common scenario when you observe water boiling. 2) Explain how you could change the rate at which water boils. 3) Explain how you could change the temperature at which water boils.
Explain how the process of blanching is used in the food industry and why a specific temperature is required. -Blanching is used in the food industry to quickly heat products containing peroxidase to denature the proteins in an attempt to stop peroxidase from producing the foul-tasting hydrogen peroxide molecules. A specific temperature is required because the food needs to be heated, but not so much so that it gets cooked, or not so little so that the peroxidase remains
