Chem 1151 Section 3
The purpose of this experiment is study the energy associated with two
chemical reactions. By measuring the increase or decrease of the
temperature of the reaction solution, it was determined that one chemical
reaction absorbed heat (endothermic) and the other released heat
(exothermic). A handheld Palm unit and temperature probe were used to
measure and record the temperature change of the reaction solution. Other
changes associated with the chemical reactions were observed.
10% of the lab report is assigned to the Pre-Lab Assignment which must be
completed before the experiment is started. The Pre-Lab assignment
consists of the Pre-Lab Assignment published in the lab manual and
preparing your lab notebook with the title, date and purpose of the
experiment, and tables for data entry. This assignment should be completed
in your lab notebook and you need not submit it in your lab report. When
you arrive in lab, your TA will check your lab notebook and record whether
the Pre-Lab is done.
I. DATA (Present your raw data in prepared tables; each table needs a
number, title and units. Any graphs and computer printouts you
printed in lab should be included in this section.)
Part I Part II
Citric Acid + HCl + Mg
Baking Soda
Final 13.40 oC 25.05 oC
temperature, t2
Initial 18.55 oC 21.12 oC
temperature, t1
Temperature -5.15 oC +3.93oC
change, t
Part I: Bubbles were given off showing that a gas was produced when
reactants were mixed. The baking soda disappeared. The reaction container
cooled down.
Part II: Mg metal dissolved. Bubbles were given off. The reaction
container warmed up.
Two graphs (one for each reaction) should be included in this section.
A reaction that is taking place may give off a gas, warm up or cool down,
dissolve a solid, change color, form a solid.
