The experimental data suggest that calcium chloride (CaCl2) is the best salt to include in a hot pack because it was the most exothermic out of the tested salts. The average heat of reaction (q_(rxn,p)) of CaCl2 was calculated to be -460J. Additionally, the low cost of CaCl2 makes it an ideal choice for the widespread use of hot packs. Although the value for MgSO4 (average qrxn -443), the cost is over six times higher. Another issue to consider is the safety and toxicity of the product. According to the PubChem Open Chemistry Database calcium chloride can cause cough, sore throat and a burning sensation when inhaled (1). It can also cause redness, dry skin, and skin burns when it comes into contact with the skin. If ingested, CaCl2 can cause
The question I was trying to answer is Which balanced chemical equation best represents the thermal decomposition of sodium bicarbonate. Using that question to guide us we were trying to determine which of the four chemical equations show how atoms are rearranged during thermal decomposition. We concluded it was the second chemical equation, we know that because:
In our experiment we utilized the hydrate cobaltous chloride. Hydrates are crystalline compounds in which one or more molecules of water are combined with each unit of a salt. Cobalt (II) chloride hexahydrate is an inorganic compound which is a deep rose color in its hydrated form. As an inducer of

Investigate the effect of changing the concentration of hydrochloric acid and the volume of carbon dioxide produced by a reaction between hydrochloric acid and marble chips (calcium carbonate). Chemistry Coursework To investigate the effect of changing the concentration of hydrochloric acid and the volume of carbon dioxide produced by a reaction between hydrochloric acid and marble chips (calcium carbonate) Planning experimental procedures Aim In this coursework I will be investigating to see how the concentration of acid affects the rate of reaction with marble chips. Hypothesis Part 1 I predict that the rate of reaction between the acid and the marble chips (calcium carbonate) will increase as the acid concentration increases. This is because in an acid solution with a greater concentration there are more particles present in the same volume of acid.
The experiment should be carried out AWAY from the sunlight. Before beginning the experiment, we need to make sure that the benzene used in the experiment is free of toluene and water. To do this, we must put anhydrous calcium chloride into a flask o...
Solubility of Potassium Chlorate Solubility is the maximum amount of solid that will dissolve in 100g of solvent. The solubility of a substance depends on the type of ionic particles in it. So the solubility of each substance is different. The formula of solubility is: SOLUBILITY(g/100g)= (SOLUTE / SOLVENT) * 100 I did an experiment to prove this and find the solubility of potassium chlorate, an ionic solid.
Conclusion This experiment was set out to find the effect of different temperatures of hydrochloric acid on the rate of reaction with magnesium. The information recorded was then interpreted and compared to the hypothesis. From this information, a conclusion can be made to show that the rate of reaction relates to temperature in the reaction between hydrochloric acid and magnesium. In conclusion, as proven in this experiment, the higher the temperature of hydrochloric acid, the faster the reaction it has with magnesium.
The original self-contained refrigerators used sulfur dioxide as a coolant. Sulfur dioxide, being highly toxic, resulted in the occasional death due to refrigerator malfunction. Subsequently, the search for a cheap and non-toxic replacement began. General Motors sought out Thomas Midgley Jr., a world-renowned chemist at the time, and requested that he pursue research into possible alternative coolants. Midgley’s research led him to consider carbon tetrafluoride and dichlorodifluoromethane.2 Both possessed stability, a non-reactive nature, and fire extinguishing characteristics, but dichlorodifluoromethane was nominated as the preferable option because its boiling point was better suited to the mechanics of refrigerators. This new co...
Ulbig et al. [14] and [15] carried out precise measurements of heat generated when propylene glycol (PG), ethylene glycol (EG) and ethanol (ET) were diluted with water, respectively. Hubert et al. [16] showed heat absorption by infinite dilution of NaCl solution with water, and Khrenova et al. [17] showed heat absorption by infinite dilution of NaNO3 solution. Using these results, heat from mixing or dilution at 25 °C for each solution was approximated using a least squares method as follows, respectively:
