Energy Calculations


Energy Calculations

The energy of absorption or release depends on each equation

Exothermic reactions have the energy on the right hand side and a negative H

Endothermic reactions have the energy on the left hand side and a positive H



H is the energy of charge of a reaction and is expressed in JK per mole of the chemicals

CH4+2O2 à CO2+2H2O+812KJ



-812/1mol CH4

-812/2mol O2 (-406)

-812/1mol CO2

-812/2mol 2H2O (-406)



0.45 mol H2O * -812/2mol 2H2O = -190KJ



2500 energy release

 -2500*1mol CH4 / -812 = 3.1mol of CH4



How many gram of O2 would needed to produce 2500KJ of energy?

-2500* 2mol O2/-812 = 6.2 moles of O2

6.2 moles of O2 * 32g/1 mol = 200 of O2

Objective:

1. To observe a variety of chemical reaction

2. To interpret and explain observations with balanced chemical equations

                3. To classify each reaction as one of the four main types



Reaction 1:

       

Adjust a burner flame to high heat.

Using crucible tongs, hold a 6cm length of bore copper wire in the hottest part of the flame for a few minutes



Changes during: it starts to change color

Changes after: it turns to black

Equation- Cu+O2 à 2CuO (synthesis)



Reaction 2:

       

Clean an iron nail with a piece of steel wool so the surface of the nail is shiny

Place the nail in a test tube and add copper (II) sulfate solution so that one half of the nail is covered

After approximately 15 mins, remove the nail and note any changes in both the nail and the solution



Changes during: liquid starts to turn green and bubbles all over the nail

Changes after: liquid becomes green

Equation- 3CuSO4 +2Fe à Fe2 (SO4) + 3Cu (single replacement)



Reaction 3:



Put some solid copper (II) sulfate pentahydrate in a test tube so that it is 1/3 full

Using the test tube clamp to hold test tube, heat the test tube, moving it back and forth gently over burner flame

        Continue until there’s no further change is observed



Changes during: smoke appear

Changes after: It turns white

Equation- CuSO4 .5H2Oà CuSO4 +5H2O (decomposition)



Reaction 4:



Allow the test tube contents from reaction 3 to cool

Use medicine dropper to add 2 or 3 drops of water

       

Changes during: change color, heated

Changes after: turns black to blue

Equation- CuSO4 +5H2Oà CuSO4 .5H2O (synthesis)



Reaction 5:



Allow the test tube one quarter with calcium chloride solution. Fill a second test tube one quarter full with sodium carbonate solution

Pour the calcium chloride solution into the test tube containing sodium carbonate solution

       

Changes during: smoke it’s a fast reaction, turn white after added together

Changes after: white solid and becomes milky

Equation- CaCl2 (aq) +Na2CO3 (aq)à 2NaCl2aq) +CaCO3(s) (double replacement)



Reaction 6:



Place a piece of mossy zinc in a test tube

Add hydrochloric acid solution to the test tube until the mossy zinc is completely covered

       

Changes during: zinc starts to get less, bumbles starts to appear

Changes after: zinc disappears, liquid turns a little white

Equation- 2HCl+Znà ZnCl2+H2 (single replacement)



Reaction 6:



Half fill as a test tube with hydrogen peroxide solution.

Add a small amount of manganese (IV) oxide

Test the evolved by placing a glowing splint into the mouth of the test tube

       

Changes during: Bubbles occurs

Changes after: the blowing splints burning again

Equation- 2H2Oà(MnO2) 2H2O+ O2 (decomposition)

Endothermic and Exothermic

Every reaction also has an exchange of energy either endothermic or exothermic. Endothermic means the reaction takes in the energy around it. Exothermic means that energy is realeased by the reaction.


This is a graph of an Endothermic reaction.







This is an Exothermic reaction:

There is a very subtle difference between the two, in the endothermic the product has more energy than the reactants and in the exothermic reaction the product has less energy. Aside from the the same thing happens, enough energy is needed to get the reactant to the activated complex ( the activation energy) and then depending if the reaction is endothermic or exothermic energy is left in the product or given off. The difference of the energy in the product and the reactant is the ∆H  and is positive only if the reaction is endothermic and negative when the reaction is exothermic.

Also when writing up chemical reactions enegry can be included to show how the reaction works.
For example:
AB + 125kJ -> A + B
