    1661 Words  | 4 Pages

    Through the experimentation of reactions between iron (III) nitrate and potassium thiocyanate, as well as cobalt (II) chloride hexahydrate in water, equilibrium systems disturbed by stress (changing the amount of reagents and temperature) will shift in order to minimize the stress. Therefore, if the concentration of reactant increases, the rate of the forward reaction will increase and equilibrium will reestablish when the concentration of products increase (vice versa). This can be observed through

    Alcohols Aim Combustion of alcohols is exothermic; energy is given out. Salter's Chemical storylines says, " Different fuels have different enthalpy changes". I will investigate how the carbon chain length of the alcohol affects its enthalpy of combustion. Preliminary Work ---------------- Chemistry for you page 184 says, "breaking bonds requires energy, it is endothermic ". It also says " making new bonds gives out energy it is exothermic". The difference between the two determines

    The second experiment is exothermic reactions because it gives out heat energy to the surrounding and energy is released more than it absorbed. It also has a negative energy change. In terms of bonds breaking or forming, the first experiment its forming new bonds, because when alcohols are burnt, the reaction is always overall exothermic. Because more energy is released when new bonds are form than is being consumed. If I compared my result to the literature values, are by no means accurate. But

    The difference between endothermic and exothermic reactions is that endothermic absorbs heat and exothermic releases heat. For example, an endothermic reaction was performed in reaction four. Reaction four is where we recorded the temperature of the acetic acid before the reaction took place. We left the thermometer in the solution and poured sodium bicarbonate into the acetic acid. The result was the product dropped 6°C, this was an endothermic reaction because it lost heat, or had the cooling

    calculated using Hess's Law (see later), or worked out in other ways. Exothermic and Endothermic Reactions When chemical reactions take place they are often accompanied by heat changes. The system (the reactants which form products) may give out heat to the surroundings, causing them to warm up. In this case the reactants have more stored energy (greater total enthalpy) than the products. Such chemical reactions are said to be exothermic. The system may take heat from the surroundings, causing them to

    that iron is more reactive than copper. The iron replaces the copper and becomes iron sulphate: Iron + Copper Iron + Copper Sulphate Sulphate Fe + CuSO4 FeSO4 + Cu This will result in an exothermic reaction, which will give us the rise in temperature of the solution. An exothermic reaction is one, which gives out energy to the surroundings usually in the form of heat and is shown by a rise in temperature. This is because, during a chemical reaction old bonds are broken and new

    954 Words  | 2 Pages

    An investigation to determine which of four alcohols is the most exothermic Prediction I predict that the most heat given out per mole burned would be by Propanol because the size of the alcohol molecules might increase with heat. Alcohols produce heat when they burn in oxygen or air. The amount of heat produced per mole of alcohol will be proportional to the amount of air present. Full combustion should generate two products only: carbon dioxide and water vapour. Hypothesis Within a molecule

    solution to rise as the neutralisation takes place. This is because when energy in the form of heat is given out of a reaction it is an exothermic reaction. Exothermic reactions usually need activation energy, the energy to break the bonds in the chemicals and to start the reaction. Once the bonds are broken new stronger bonds are formed. In an exothermic reaction energy in the form of heat is given out to the surrounding when the products are formed. Therefore there is an average rise in
