The reaction between the sugar in the gummy bear and the melted potassium chlorate in this experiment is an example of an exothermic reaction. An exothermic reaction is a chemical reaction that releases energy as heat or light. When potassium chlorate is melted, it produces potassium chloride and oxygen. When the sugar and oxygen react, energy accumulated in the chemical bonds of the sugar molecules is released. This is a combustion reaction, an exothermic process in which a substance reacts specifically with oxygen to produce heat, water, and carbon dioxide. During the process of combusting the sugar in the gummy bear with oxygen, the products formed are heat, a purple flame (light), carbon dioxide, and water. Second, when the sugar and molten
potassium chlorate react, a purple flame can be seen. During the presence of energy, electrons in the potassium ion become excited, which causes them to emit photons of light energy. Different ions require varying amounts of energy to produce photons of light. After being excited temporarily, the electrons return to their ground (low energy) state. A shorter wavelength and higher color frequency is created when the electrons give off more energy. The potassium ion creates a purple (high frequency color) flame due to the high amount of energy given off by the electrons when returning to their ground state. When more energy is given off, higher frequency colors are emitted, like purple in this reaction. Lastly, the high pitched sound released from the reaction is created by vibrations in the test tube when the sugar is being rapidly oxidized. High pitched noises are created by small waves of quick vibrations, whereas low pitched noises are created by longer waves of vibrations. Shorter, less dense items such as the test tube create shorter sound waves that translate into higher pitched sounds. In contrast, longer, more dense items make more low sounds and longer waves. Because the reaction between the highly reactive sugar and molten potassium chlorate is so violent and rapid, the vibrations in the test tube move very quickly, creating a high pitched “scream.”
Abstract: Marshmallows have more Calories per gram. Marshmallows have .2079 J/g℃ and cheese puffs have 1.08x103 J/g℃. My hypothesis was that marshmallows have more Calories per gram and my results confirmed my hypothesis because there is a .2068 J/g℃ difference.
If you put the gummy bear in Vinegar it will not get bigger also if you buy it in the baking soda it will also not get bigger. The water will make the gummy bear get bigger because of the material that it made by the gummy bear.
== = Hess’s law of heat summation states that the value of DH for a reaction is the same whether it occurs directly or as a series of steps. This principle was used to determine the change in enthalpy for a highly exothermic reaction, the combustion of magnesium metal. Enthalpy changes for the reactions of Mg in HCl (aq) and MgO (s) in HCl (aq) were determined experimentally, then added to that for the combustion of hydrogen gas to arrive at a value of –587 kJ/mol Mg.
Many people don't understand the effects on peppermint candy to the brain's reaction time. The experiment is telling if peppermint candy has an effect on reaction time. Reaction time can be affected by many things such as their normal reaction time, eating peppermints, a volunteers nervous system, a person's defects, or their genetics.
Have you ever wondered who invented bubble gum, or why it’s pink? How do you go about getting the answers to these questions? Easy. Think way, way back, not to prehistoric times but close, 1928.
In this lab, I determined the amount of heat exchanged in four different chemical reactions only using two different compounds and water. The two compounds used were Magnesium Hydroxide and Citric Acid. Both compounds were in there solid states in powder form. Magnesium Hydroxide was mixed with water and the change in heat was measured using a thermometer. The next reaction combined citric acid and magnesium hydroxide in water. The change in heat was measured as well. For the third reaction citric acid was placed in water to measure the change in heat. In the last reaction, citric acid was combined with water. The heat exchanged was again measured. It is obvious we were studying the calorimetry of each reaction. We used a calorimeter
When energy in the form of heat is given out of a reaction it is an
" This means that therefore the enthalpy change of a reaction can be measured by the calculation of 2 other reactions which relate directly to the reactants used in the first reaction and provided the same reaction conditions are used, the results will not be affected. We have the problem set by the experiment to determine the enthalpy change of the thermal decomposition of calcium carbonate. This is difficult because we cannot accurately measure how much thermal energy is taken from the surroundings and provided via thermal energy from a Bunsen flame into the reactants, due to its endothermic nature. Therefore, using the enthalpy changes obtained in reaction 1 and reaction 2 we can set up a Hess cycle.
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:
The hydrogen and the hydroxide ions react to form water. As bonds are made this is an exothermic reaction so heat will be given out and this will be shown as an increase in temperature. The chemical energy will be negative ( H is minus). APPRATUS/MATERIALS:- 1. Polystyrene cup [IMAGE] 2.
Peppermint Candy, a film by Yi Ch’ang-Dong (Lee Chang-Dong) is an interesting movie that is full of dramatic events. It emphasizes the great effects of the Korean dictatorship on the society. It left a huge impact on the Korean society and history. It is a film that relates recent Korean history through the protagonist’s personal history. It tells us about the life of Korean society for the past twenty years through the adventure of a protagonist, Young-ho. Throughout this film, we can understand why the main character Young-ho, has a twisted personality and how the choice of technique can influence the story of the film.
This form of chemical reaction is known as a single displacement reaction and is exothermic. The reaction is irreversible and is written as:
The movie Food Inc. was very engrossing. I honestly believed that all foods in the grocery store came from different places. It made me very sad to see how the major food companies would deport illegal immigrants even though, they were the ones who provided transportation and ways for the immigrants to come to America illegally. 95% of my family are all immigrants. My family comes from Belize which is not very from Mexico; So that part of the movie struck me the hardest. I imagined about what would’ve happened if they decided to take one of my family members. The movie opened my eyes to many evil things I did not know about.
...sen burner, the oxygen gives more energy to the electrons in the flame, causing the flame to heat up more and more. Therefore, the chemical reaction of methane gas reacting with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water vapor is given off by the Bunsen burner. We can now understand that the yellow flame contains heat as a cause of the oxygen that was a part of the reaction, but to make the flame hotter, the percentage of oxygen being fed to the Bunsen burner must increase.
Mischievous-maliciously or playfully annoying, that is the definition of mischievous according to dictionary.com, that is the word that defines Kathy, my sister perfectly. You do not know how much trouble a 5-year old can cause! From ruining a campout to destroying a birthday, Kathy does it all! She likes sneaking away things, thinks everything is for her, and cries until she gets what she wants.
