INTRODUCTION This experiment was designed to investigate the relationship between work, potential energy, and kinetic energy. Applying equations learned in Physics class, it was possible to compare these to values measured by computer software. Examples used in the experiment were a cart, a spring, and a mass. Preliminary questions: 1. Lift a book from the floor to the table. Did you do work? To answer this question, consider whether you applied a force parallel to the displacement of the book. […]
This report was to study Neutralization Reactions Sample Calculations 1. q = ms∆t – 1M HCl q = (acid mass(g) + base mass(g))(tf-ti)(s) q = -(50.2+26.1)(8.6)(4.184) q = -2.746 kJ 2. x mol of acid & base – 1M HCl mol HCl = (1M HCl x (50mL))/(1000mL) = 0.05 mol HCl mol NaOH = (2M NaOH x (25mL)/(1000mL) = 0.05 mol NaOH 3. mol H2O – 1M HCl mol H2O – .05mol NaOH + .05mol HCl → .05mol […]
Objectives: 1. Measure the electrical potential of a zinc/iron battery cell at differing concentrations. 2. Construct an electrolytic cell. Procedure: Voltaic Cell 1. Prepare a 100mL of 0.1M Iron (II) Sulfate solution in a 150mL beaker and place the iron strip in the solution. 2. Prepare a 100mL of 0.1M Zinc Sulfate solution in a 150mL beaker and place the zinc strip in the solution. 3. Connect the beakers using the plastic bridge, which must be filled with a KCl […]
Heat is the transfer of energy between matter due to differences in temperature. In this experiment, heat transfer was studied by calorimetry. The mixing of warm and cool water was observed, as well as the experimental latent heat of fusion. Data: Mixing Warm and Cold Water Table Mass of Empty Graduated Cylinder 86.9 grams Trial 1 Trial 2 Mass of Graduated Cylinder and Cold Water 136.00 g 136.15 g Mass of Cold Water 49.10 g 49.25 Temperature C, Probe 1 […]
The purpose of this experiment was to develop new laboratory techniques and apply them by purifying and identifying an unknown.

This experiment was designed to model the process in which thermal energy moves from one body to another. Newton observed that the energy transfer between two bodies is proportional to the difference in temperature between the bodies. The cooling of hot water to room temperature will be observed for the model. Data table: Average room temperature (°C) 30.29 Initial Water Temp (°C) 70.3 Analysis: Newton’s cooling law was given above as: T = T0 e–kt + Troom Match the variables […]
