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 I could not have made the experiment completely efficient in the heat transfer. However, the results were all similar for each alcohol, without the small number of anomalous results. This means that the experiment was reliable, but the values were

The reaction gives out energy. For example HCL + NaOH reaction form NaCl + H20, there is more bond making than bond breaking in this reaction so the H is negative, which it is more exothermic.
A neutralisation reaction will be an exothermic because it’s making bonds and produces lots of energy. If the HCL is to be concentrated it will contain more hydrogen and chloride ions. As a result of this there will be more bond making and so more heat will be produced as result. When heat is being produced it shows a reaction is take place and reaction between two solutions is when bonds are being made and gives out heat.
The second experiment result is different to the accepted value, as the experiment resulted in accepted value of 57.1kjmol-1 whereas the first experiment value of

In polar covalent electrons are not shared equally because one atom spends more time with the electrons than the atom. Polar covalent create a dipole-dipole intermolecular. The force can create type of bond between polar molecules as well as hydrogen bond. This bond is not as strong as the other types of bond and it can be easily broken. for example water, the electrons are not shared equally between hydrogen and oxygen because oxygen is more electronegative than hydrogen.
ii) Polar dissolve in polar solvents and non-polar dissolve in non-polar solvents. This is because polar can molecules can undergo dipole-dipole force attractions. These electrostatic attraction between slightly positive and negatively charge poles of each molecules. However the non-polar can’t do this because they don’t have poles, instead they attract with other via dispersion force.
Temporary dipoles help dissolve simple covalent molecules in non-polar solvents. They are not very strong and the more electrons in the molecules the stronger the included
Aspirin is 3.3 g/L soluble in water (3). Aspirin can be soluble in ethanol, DMSO, or water (2). Aspirin has polar groups that when put with polar water molecules can form hydrogen bonds. Aspirin is an asymmetrical molecule. When drawing the Lewis Dot Structure, a person can see that the bonds are polar. There are also dipole moments making the molecule polar. Dipole molecules are composed of a higher electronegative atom pulling electrons towards it (11). It is more soluble in basic solutions than water and acidic solutions (4). The Lewis Structure also reveals that there are many double bonds between the carbons and two double bonds between oxygen and carbon.
For a reaction to occur, particles must collide. If the collision causes a chemical change it is referred to as a fruitful collision. (Hutchinson Educational Encyclopaedia, 2000) Enzymes increase the rate of exergonic reactions by decreasing the activation energy of the reaction. Exergonic reactions are those in which the free energy of the concluding state is lower than the free energy of the opening state.
Another way to control the heat is to decrease the distance between the boiling tube. and the container of the. The amount of energy released increases with the number of bonds. present in the chemical substance or fuel. That is because each bond has a certain amount of energy stored in it therefore the more bonds the more energy is stored and more energy is released if these bonds break through the combustion process.
Discussion: The percent of errors is 59.62%. Several errors could have happened during the experiment. Weak techniques may occur.
1-Butanol with intermediate polarity was soluble in both highly polar water and non polar hexane as 1-butanol can be either polar or non polar compound. 1-Butanol was polar based on the general rule of thumb stated that each polar group will allow up to 4 carbons to be soluble in water. Also, 1-butanol can be non polar due to their carbon chains, which are attracted to the non polarity of the hexane.
The data which was collected in Procedure A was able to produce a relatively straight line. Even though this did have few straying points, there was a positive correlation. This lab was able to support Newton’s Law of Heating and Cooling.
This is expressed as Δ +ve (delta positive). If the total energy put in is less than the energy created, then the substance warms up (it is exothermic). This is expressed as Δ -ve (delta negative). I will investigate eight different alcohols using an alcohol or spirit burner, to measure the energy change during burning by measuring the change in temperature of some water held in a container.
During this reaction the solution gained heat. This is what we were monitoring. The reason why the solution gained heat is because the reaction lost heat. Energy is lost when two elements or compounds mix. The energy lost/ gain was heat. Heat is a form of energy as stated above in the previous paragraph. The sign of enthalpy for three out of the four reactions matches what was observed in the lab. For the last reaction, part four, the reaction gained heat not the solution like parts one through three. The negative enthalpy value for part four indicates that the reaction gained
EG, if the water was 23 degrees I would heat the water to 33 degrees. Make sure that the fuel is weighed correctly after experiment, and recorded. By doing these checks, it means that all the experiments will be fun the same. This means the test will all be fair. Prediction I think the more bonds in the alcohol molecule structure means that more heat energy will be produced when the bonds are broken and so less fuel will be used, as the heating temperature will be higher, so it will not take as long to heat.
" 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.
This software enables you to simulate experiments. This means that I am able to quickly carry out experiments to help in planning for my investigation. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Alcohol Temperature Increase (oC) Mass of burner before exp.

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.
This form of chemical reaction is known as a single displacement reaction and is exothermic. The reaction is irreversible and is written as:
Ionic compounds, when in the solid state, can be described as ionic lattices whose shapes are dictated by the need to place oppositely charged ions close to each other and similarly charged ions as far apart as possible. Though there is some structural diversity in ionic compounds, covalent compounds present us with a world of structural possibilities. From simple linear molecules like H2 to complex chains of atoms like butane (CH3CH2CH2CH3), covalent molecules can take on many shapes. To help decide which shape a polyatomic molecule might prefer we will use Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion theory (VSEPR). VSEPR states that electrons like to stay as far away from one another as possible to provide the lowest energy (i.e. most stable) structure for any bonding arrangement. In this way, VSEPR is a powerful tool for predicting the geometries of covalent molecules.
There is also the potential of human error within this experiment for example finding the meniscus is important to get an accurate amount using the graduated pipettes and burettes. There is a possibility that at one point in the experiment a chemical was measured inaccurately affecting the results. To resolve this, the experiment should have been repeated three times.
