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.
Reactants are substances that take part in and undergo change during a reaction. Products are substances that is formed as the result of a chemical reaction. Another concept that was introduced with this lab was stoichiometric ratio which is concerned with, involving, or having the exact proportions for a particular chemical reaction. Exothermic was also a concept introduced in the lab which is a reaction or process accompanied by the release of heat. And limiting reagent which is the reactant that is completely consumed when a reaction is run to completion.
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
Both of these types of reactions can create either a hot or a cold pack, depending on whether heat is absorbed or released. An endothermic reaction is known to generate a cold pack because the heat and energy are absorbed from the environment while an exothermic reaction is known to produce a hot pack as a result of heat and energy being released to the atmosphere. This experiment is comprised of testing four different salts in order to see which ones will work the best for producing these hot and cold packs. These salts are ammonium nitrate, calcium chloride, lithium chloride, and potassium chloride. Not only will we determine which one is the most resourceful for creating these packs, but we will also consider how much it will cost to actually produce them for the Dystan Medical Supply Company.
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. Metal Name Mass of Metal Volume of water Initial temp.

A thermostat is a device that regulates the temperature inside a building. 1. What does a thermostat do if it gets too cool? ____blows out hot air_________ 2.
Fossil fuels like the substance sulfur dioxide products are burnt to heat water under pressure , making them steam. This high pressure steam is used to spin the turbine generators which make electricity although this method is not really used anymore now. 5.) What are the potential hazards for using this resource? The potential hazards for using sulfur dioxide is it can affect our environment, plants, animals, the air that we breathe, our water resources and our planet.
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."
As you would already know that exothermic reactions tend to release quite a large amount of heat, so when the reaction mixture gets very warm, a very hot exothermic reaction begins.

When the gas comes out of the ground, it comes out wet. The first stage of the refining process involves on-site heating of the gas to 212 degrees to evaporate any non-methane hydrocarbons and fluids that are mixed into the gas. (Arthur, 2008) The condensate that is generated from this process is then vented into the atmosphere. The condensate often contains the same chemical additives that are added to the well during the fracking process, as well as volatile organic compounds that are naturally occurring in the ground where the gas is stored (Witter,
