n (3) Solutions of aqueous sodium hydroxide and hydrochloric acid react to form water and aqueous sodium chloride. co NaOH(s) → Na+(aq) + OH–(aq) ∆H1 = ? Chemistry with Vernier py In this experiment, you will use a Styrofoam-cup calorimeter to measure the heat released by three reactions. One of the reactions is the same as the combination of the other two reactions. Therefore, according to Hess’s law, the heat of reaction of the one reaction should be equal to the sum of the heats of reaction for the other two.
Background: A reaction rate is the decrease in concentration of a reactant or the increase in concentration of a product with time. Thus, the units for the reaction rate are usually Molarity per second (M/s) – that is , the change in concentration (measured in molarity) divided by a time interval (seconds in this case) (Chemistry: The Central Science, P. 527). Rate is usually calculated by taking an average of the disappearance or appearance of a compound with respect to time. In this case it is calculated by the absorbance of the light. Reaction rate is affected by any catalysts present (which speed up the reaction usually with an intermediate step), temperature (increases the number of particles collisions), concentration (increases the number of collisions), and surface area (increases the space available for collisions).
If the reaction is first order, its graphical representation is seen as ln[A] (natural log of concentration) vs. time, and the slope of its like is also the negative rate constant. Finally, for a second order reaction the graph is shown as 1/[A] (inverse of concentration) vs. time, and the slope of its given line is the positive rate constant. By understanding the rate law and finding the value of the correct rate constant with respect to the order of the reaction, one can determine the half-life of the crystal violet. This is because the crystal violet undergoes a decay reaction with the sodium hydroxide. According to Beer's Law, the absorbance of crystal violet is proportional to its concentration.
Any increase in the rate of reaction will cause an increase in the pressure of the oxygen. The first line of the graph (top) represents the normal rate of the reaction in a water solution of hydrogen peroxide and catalase. The second line represents the rate of reaction when acid is added to the solution and the third line represents the rate of reaction when a base is added to the solution. 1.

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 heat obtained when a known mass of alcohol or paraffin wax burns will be used to warm a measured volume of water. Enthalpy change can be defined as the amount of heat released or absorbed when a chemical reaction occurs at constant pressure. In an exothermic reaction, such as the case in this experiment, the following reaction takes place: H = H(products) - H(reactants) = negative (-ve) Specific heat is the amount of heat per unit mass required to raise the temperature by one degree Celsius. The relationship between heat and temperature change is usually expressed, where c is the specific heat. The relationship does not apply if a phase change is encountered, because heat added or removed during a phase change does not change the temperature.
The salts will be dissolved in distilled water by small quantities until the reaction reaches When ionic compounds dissolve in water, they either absorb energy from or release energy to the surroundings. If a chemical reaction absorbs heat from the surroundings, it is an endothermic reaction. If a solution releases heat to its surroundings, it is an exothermic reaction. The enthalpy of dissolution is the enthalpy change associated with the dissolution of a substance in a solvent at a constant pressure. The change in enthalpy relies on the concentration of the salt solution, because different concentrations will produce different enthalpies.

Determination of the percentage purity of aspirin Introduction The aim of this experiment is to determine the percentage purity of 2-ethanoyl-hydrobenzoic acid (acetylsalicylic acid) in aspirin tablets. A known amount of standard sodium hydroxide solution is used in excess to hydrolyze a known mass of aspirin tablets: CH3COOC6H4COOH(s) + NaOH(aq) → C9H7O4Na(s) + H2O(l) The unused sodium hydroxide which remains is then titrated with standard nitric acid solution of 1 mol. NaOH(aq) + HCl(aq) → NaNO3(s) + H2O(l) The amount of alkali required for the hydrolysis can now be calculated and from the above equation, the amount of moles of acetylsalicylic acid which has been hydrolyzed can be found.

The purpose of the experiment is to determine whether or not increasing temperature will increase the rate of the reaction. Reaction rate is a way of measuring how fast the reaction takes place. So the higher the reaction rate the faster the reaction takes place and the lower is the reaction time is. Research Question How does reaction rate change with increasing temperature of sodium thiosulphate in a reaction between hydrochloric acid (HCl(l)) and sodium thiosulphate (Na2S2O3(l)) ? Hypothesis With increasing temperature of sodium thiosulphate the reaction rate will increase as well.
