The first step that I did to find the number of grams water can be produced when 11.7 moles of ethane that reacts with the excess oxygen gas was to balance the equation like this 2 C2H6 + 7 O2 ----> 4 CO2 + 6 H20. The second step that I did to find the number of grams water can be produced when 11.7 moles of ethane that reacts with the excess oxygen gas was to find the mole ratio which is 2 moles of C2H6 : 6 moles of H20. The third step that I did to find the number of grams water can be produced when 11.7 moles of ethane that reacts with the excess oxygen gas was to multiply this by the mole ratio like this 6 moles of water / 2 moles of ethane * 11.7 moles of ethane = 35.1 moles of water. The fourth step that I did to find the number of grams
The purpose of this lab was to calculate the specific heat of a metal cylinder
This study observed the standard and routine metabolic rates and swimming activities of nurse sharks. Nurse sharks use buccal pumping to rest on the sea floor. This sedentary behavior had not yet been studied in relation to metabolic rates before this study. This study also is one of few that observed the effcts of temperature on metabolism in sharks. By assessing the relationship between routine metabolism and ecology, a more precise understanding of the nurse sharks daily energy requirements could be obtained.
The purpose of a homeostatic system is to maintain steady/stable internal environment at a set point. Glucose is used as a major energy source by most cells in the human body. Cells break down glucose in order to produce ATP (energy), to carry out their cellular processes. Blood glucose concentration is maintained between 3.9-5.6 mmol/L-1. The reason behind this range is due to the fact that people of different ages and genders require different amounts of glucose in their blood to carry out different metabolic processes. For example, a growing teenage boy would require a higher blood glucose concentration in comparison to a middle aged women. Blood glucose concentration must be maintained between this set point range because anything above or below this can cause severe problems. If blood glucose concentration becomes too low the tissues in the body that solely rely on glucose as an energy source are greatly affected, as they need a constant supply of glucose in order to function adequately. These
The purpose of the lab is to understand how to calculate the calorimeter constant by using a calorimeter. This allows us to analyze the heat reaction of different substances. Calorimetry is a word that comes from both Latin and Greek. The prefix “Calor” in Latin signifies heat and the suffix “metry” in Greek means measuring. Therefore the word itself translates to measuring heat. Joseph Black, was the first scientist to recognize the difference between heat and temperature. Energy is always present in chemical and physical changes. The change of energy that occurs when there is a chemical change at constant pressure is called enthalpy. Enthalpy changes , as well as physical and chemical changes, can be measured by a calorimeter. The energy that is released or absorbed by the reaction can be either absorbed or released by the insulating walls of the instrument.
Investigating Heat Loss From a Container Planning We are investigating heat loss from a container and how it is affected. We could change: Room temperature Surface area Amount of water Use a lid Insulate around it Colour of tin We could measure / observe: Amount of time Temperature We will change: Surface area We will measure / observe: Temperature (every minute for 5 minutes) Our question is: Does surface area effect the rate of heat loss? We will keep these the same: Colour of tin Room temperature Amount of water Use a lid Insulate around it Preliminary investigation = == ==
Reaction 2: H = 50 x 4.18 x -10.3" H = -2152.7 This value is for 1.37g of calcium oxide, not 56.1g, which is its relative molecular mass. Therefore: H =
The porpoise of these is to determine the Specific Heat. Also known as Heat Capacity, the specific heat is the amount of the Heat Per Unit mass required to raise the temperature by one degree Celsius. The relationship between heat and temperature changed is usually expected in the form shown. The relationship does not apply if a phase change is encountered because the heat added or removed during a phase change does not change the temperature.
After the water, has been boiling for 10 minutes, and the temperature inside the test tube has been stable for 5 minutes, record the temperature and remove the thermometer.

From the above, I would find out how much energy is released. To find it I would use this formula: total energy involved to break bond – total energy involved to form bonds.

I shall be measuring how much gas is given off. This will be done by measuring the amount of froth on the surface of the liquid. The oxygen released is collected in the form of these bubbles. The equation for the reaction is: (catalase) [IMAGE] H2O2 2H2O + O2 (hydrogen peroxide) (2 part water) (oxygen) I will change the concentration of H2O2 and O2 (making sure the volume stay the same, when one part of a H2O2 particle is taken, an O2 particle is added.

Introduction: A phase change is a result from the kinetic energy (heat) either decreasing or increasing to change the state of matter (i.e. water, liquid, or gas.) Thus saying, freezing is the phase change from a liquid to a solid which results from less kinetic energy/heat. Also, melting is the phase change from a solid to a liquid which results from adding kinetic energy/heat. So, the freezing and melting point of something is the temperature at which these phase changes occur. Therefore, a phase change will occur when a vial of 10 mL of water is placed into a cup of crushed ice mixed with four spoonfuls with 5 mL of sodium chloride for 30 minutes. If 10 mL of water is placed in an ice bath, it will then freeze at 5 degrees Celsius because the kinetic energy will leave quicker with the ice involved. The purpose of this lab is to observe what temperature the water must be to undergo a phase change.
The purpose of the experiment is to identify and understand reactions under kinetic and thermodynamic control. A reaction under kinetic and thermodynamic control can form two different types of products. A reaction under kinetic control is known to be irreversible and the product is formed quickly. A reaction under thermodynamic control is known to require rigorous conditions. It is also reversible. The final product is more stable than the product made by kinetic control. The chart below shows the two types of reaction coordinates:
