Objectives Session 1 Structure of Matter • Chemical elements make up matter, and these chemical elements are made up of atoms. A. To learn about the atomic structure and subatomic particles B. To learn about the trends of the properties of elements in the periodic table (periodic trends) C. To discuss different types of chemical bonding in different substances (precursor to the next lesson topic) Session 2 Bonding and Intermolecular Forces • Chemical and physical properties of substances are due
our daily life, we constantly have interactions of chemical reactions, such as endothermic and exothermic reactions. In general all chemical reactions are important to our society to achieve certain activities. Some examples are smelting iron,making class, burning fuels,brewing beer, making wine and cheese, and etc. Most importantly I will be researching what are exothermic and endothermic reactions and how they can affect our daily life. Chemical reactions is a process when the reactants convert
Determination of enthalpy change of combustion for alcohols Abstract This report will explore the energy release (or enthalpy change) when four different alcohols (methanol, ethanol, propan-1-ol, butan-1-ol) were burned. When these alcohols are burned, the chemical energy in their bonds is transferred into kinetic and thermal energy by heating water in a beaker. The rise in temperature of the water allows us to calculate the enthalpy change when each alcohol is burned in KJ mol-1. Introduction Energy
The diagrams are shown in figure 1. Butanol These three alcohols will be combusted to see which is the most effective fuel for a camp stove. Combustion is the chemical process of a combustion reaction in which a fuel burns with the aid of an oxidiser to yield a particular product. When an alkanol is burned, the product will consist of carbon dioxide, water and heat, as shown in figure 2. Hydrocarbon+Oxygen→Carbon
Neither matter nor energy is created or destroyed in a chemical reaction only changed. This experiment is a decomposition reaction a more complex substance breaks down into its more simple parts. One reactant yields 2 or more products. The presence of oxygen in the decomposition reaction is seen when heat energy
studies heat released or absorbed in a chemical reaction. 1 Reactions releasing heat are referred to as exothermic, while reactions absorbing heat are endothermic. 2 Calorimetry, used in thermochemistry is, “the science associated with determining the changes in energy of a system by measuring the heat exchanged with the surroundings.” 3 Calorimetry is carried out with calorimeters, which measure heat transfer. 3 This experiment uses two types of calorimeters; a homemade, Styrofoam calorimeter
potency source. Just to expand on this idea, copious amounts of objects hinge on the forms of potential energy that fuels provide. Particular objects only function with one specific fuel, as there are many fuels that are only subjected to certain types of machinery as the machinery them self differ from each other. This consists of availing cars, airplanes, stoves, trains and many more machinery to be able to perform the tasks efficiently. The average car is probably the most used machinery and not
1. Bioluminescence/ fluorescence • Bioluminescence is the production of light by living organisms that involve biochemical reactions. Fluorescence is the emission of light through absorbing short wavelengths of light and emitting that light in longer wavelengths. Both processes emit light but do so in different ways. With bioluminescence, light energy is released by the biochemical reaction that happens inside the organism and does not require an external input of energy. In contrast, fluorescence
Father of nuclear science”, n.d.). In 1903, Rutherford saw that a French chemist, Paul Villard, had discovered a new type of radiation coming from radium, upon discerning that this new radiation was different then the ones he had already discovered due to its greater penetrating power, Rutherford named it Gamma radiation (“Ernest Rutherford”, 2017). Using his previously found out types of radiation, he discovered the concept of half-life, how long it takes for a sample of an element to decay to half
certain substances close to nearby ignition sources, one cannot help but wonder how the chemical characteristics of these substances play a role in determining
