Analysis The aim of the extended experimental investigation was to conduct an experiment, and observe whether it would support or oppose the hypothesis of: As the temperature is increased, then the volume of the Alcohol-Water solution will contract accordingly, due to the input of thermal energy in the solution which will cause the hydrogen bonds to break and cause the volume of the alcohol-water solution to contract. The experiments involved increasing the temperature of a 10-ml alcohol (5 ml Ethanol, 5 ml Isopropanol) and water (5ml) solution, and measuring the contraction of the solutions after a period of time. With both experiments, contraction was present with the alcohol (ethanol, isopropanol) and water solution. The first of the tests conducted was the contraction of the Isopropanol-water solution. The 10-ml solution, consisting of 5ml Isopropanol and 5 ml water had total contractions between 0.3 and 0.4 ml during the selected testing time period. Initially, the solutions decreased by a total of 0.4 and 0.6 ml. The general trend with the initial contraction of the solutions is that the higher the temperature of the solution the more contraction occurs within the solutions. Another trend with the isopropanol-water solutions is that the volume contraction over the testing period, of 20 minutes, is that all the solutions at the different temperatures lost the same volume. Discussion and Evaluation With the increased temperature, the isopropanol-water solution contracts faster than the lower temperature due to the fact that molecules move faster with increased temperature. The hydrogen bonding between isopropanol and water is quite strong between the solvents and within themselves. As a result of the compounds’ properties they rearrange to assume a more efficient hydrogen bond between them, as the angles required for efficient hydrogen bonding are not present; the bond angles change due to the repulsive force of free electrons within the compound. The intermolecular forces that cause the molecules of ethanol, isopropanol, and water to rearrange and contract primarily include dipole-dipole interaction and hydrogen bonding. In terms of dipole-dipole interaction, the forces occur when polar molecules are
Of the alcohols tested 1-Butanol was found to contain the strongest intermolecular forces (IMF) of attraction, with Methanol containing the weakest. It was discovered through experimentation that Methanol induced the highest ?T of all alcohols tested, and that conversely 1-Butanol induced the lowest ?T. The atomic structure of all four alcohols is very similar, as starting with 1-Butanol a CH2 group is lost as you move from 1-Butanol to 1-Propanol to Ethanol and then again to Methanol. Each structure is fairly linear and contains an H-bond with Oxygen, so the real change is found in the loss of the CH2 group, this lowers the liquid’s Molecular Mass, thus lowering the London forces as you move from 1-Butanol through
In this experiment the scientists are looking for how gas production is effected when different sized Alka-Seltzer tablets are put into water. The independent variable is the different sizes while the dependent variable is the amount of gas produced. A constant variable includes the same brand of Alka-Seltzer tablets, the volume of water and same starting temperature. Finally the scientist’s control variable is the first trial testing the whole tablet comparing its reaction time to each new piece.
When analyzing the IR spectrum of Ruthenium complex with DMSO, the prominent peak is presented at 1105.54 cm−1. This peak indicates that S=O bonded in DMSO. For DMSO, the frequency is around 1050 cm−1. From our spectra obtained for DMSO where the S=O peak is at 1017.65 cm−1. Since the bond appears at a higher frequency, this shows that the bond is strengthened by the reaction. This indicates that when the copper metal was combined with DMSO, it bonded with the Sulfur atom. Combining ruthenium with sulfur atom caused it to donate a pi electron as a back donation.
The luminous yellow flame is smoky because no air is entering the burner and hydrocarbon is converted into carbon dioxide
C. An unknown, rectangular substance measures 3.6 cm high, 4.21 cm long, and 1.17 cm wide.
The bond between the compounds and the water molecules is weak and therefore easily broken. Typically, these bonds are broken through the heating of the compound.
In this experiment, we investigate the change in temperature caused by adding a chemical substance into the water and dissolving it. The results recorded in the table below show that our hypothesis is correct.
organic compound to dissolve (increase in entropy), a decrease in heat will then allow that
The freezing point is the temperature at which a substance transfers from its liquid phase to a solid. Through comparison of the freezing points of a pure solvent (stearic acid), with those of a dilute solution, the molar mass of unknown solutes may be obtained. Water in its solid and liquid phase obtains a dynamic equilibrium (as their molecules convert between such phases at equal rates). Equilibrium can be disrupted through change in temperature or the addition of a solute. Increasing the temperature causes molecules to accelerate, prompting energy to be shifted to the solid surface and escape to the liquid phase. Increasing the quantity of solute in the liquid phase displaces some solution molecules that would have (if unimpeded) interacted
The main purpose of this lab is to determine whether or not the number of carbon molecules relate to the amount of energy emitted measured through the temperature change over the course of 2 minutes. The main three tested fuels are fuels methanol (CH3OH), ethanol (C2H5OH), propanol (C3H7OH). Based on those formulas, Propanol alcohol has 3 carbons, Ethanol alcohol has 2 carbons and methanol has 1 carbon. Based on the hypothesis mentioned above “If the number of Carbon molecules in the fuel increases, the amount of energy over 2 minutes is going to increase”. Based on the data shown above, propanol fuel had the most temperature change meaning that it burned with the most energy. Following that is ethanol fuel having the second greatest temperature
The experimental setup will be a pH meter placed inside each water bottle of water to check the acidity in each one, and it will be tested with a pH meter. The purpose of the investigation is to see which company of water bottles has the highest pH level. The independent variables are the different companies of water, the dependent variable will be the pH level of the water, and the controlled variable will be the pH meter, the computer and wires, the glass of water, and the distilled water.
In Experiment 1, we tested the hypothesis that one vole alters its alcohol intake to match that of its drinking partner when their drinking levels differ. For this, 81 prairie voles aged 69–100 days at the start of testing, weighing 39.8 ± 0.8 g (mean ± SEM), were tested in the first phase of the experiment. In this first phase, voles were weighed and then moved into individual housing, where they were given continuous access to two 25 mL glass cylinders fitted with a metal sipper tube and rubber stopper. One bottle contained tap water, and the other contained 10% ethanol (diluted volume/volume with tap water from 95% ethanol) for four days. During this time, the volume of fluid was monitored and refilled every 24 hours, and the position of
The purpose of this experiment is to identify an unknown substance by measuring the density and boiling point. I will be able to conclude which substance is my own from a list of known options stating what its real boiling point and density is.
The sand trays and wet bulb wick must be saturated with deionized water using a squirt bottle. There is a possibility for spillage of water, especially when saturating the wick, that can lead to a slipping hazard. Participants in the experiment should be aware of any spills, and if a spill should occur, the water should be cleaned promptly. The pouring of water into the sand trays and onto the wet bulb wick should be done away from all of the electrical components to the tray dryer to prevent possible electrical shock.
A similar effect leads me to my hypothesis. Boiling point elevation is, like freezing point depression, a colligative property. When cooking something on a stove at higher elevations, salt (a solute) is added to the water in order to enable the water to go to higher temperatures without boiling. The more salt is added, the higher the temperature is able to go. Knowing this, it makes sense that the largest amount of solute will lower the temperature of our chosen solvent, tert-butanol, the most.
