Combustion Lab Report

Cadet Eric Wiggins Date: 18 September 2014 Course Name: Chem 100 Instructor: Captain Zuniga Section: M3A Identification of a Copper Mineral Intro Minerals are elements or compounds that are created in the Earth by geological processes. The method of isolating metals in a compound mineral is normally conducted through two processes.

The temperature probe was then quickly cooled to room temperature. When this was achieved, the hot water was immediately transferred into the calorimeter. This method of keeping the temperature probe cooled before measuring a new temperature was repeated throughout the entire experiment. Temperature data was collected for 180 s while swirling the temperature inside the calorimeter. The calorimeter still contained the warm water.

When the students placed the wire containing the sample in the flame it burned a orange/ red color. when this result was compared with the previous flame tests it could have resulted from either CaCl2 or NaCl. Both of these compounds produced an orange flame. After the flame test was conducted, the students performed a litmus test to identify whether the unknown was neutral or a base. When exposed to the red and blue litmus paper, no reaction occurred.

In a Beacon School, located in NYC, two-tenth - graders were seriously injured, leaving a boy with critical burns and another student with fewer server burns from her neck, head, and arm. Anna Peole, chemistry teacher was showing a “demonstration of rainbow flames” which will result burning of 4 different kinds of nitrates in separate crucibles in the classroom. However, the unstable amount of methyl alcohol hazes around the chemistry lab and explodes across the lab table surrounding Alonzo Yanes, a sophomore at the Beacon School. Alonzo Yanes was standing a few feet away from the lab table, where the crucibles were.

Characteristic Property- Test 3- Flame Test Materials: tongs, unknown 6, matches Procedure: at the sink, we held a small piece of towel that was soaked with the liquid fraction 6 and held it with the tongs for the lit match to light it on fire. Data: We found that the unknown is flammable after it automatically lit on fire and burned during the burn test.

The molar heat of combustion of a compound is 1250 kJ/mole. If 0.115 moles of this compound in a bomb calorimeter with 2.50 L of water, what would the temperature increase be? If change in heat is positive it is an _______ reaction If change in heat is negative it is an_______ reaction

Here are several examples of chemical properties4: Heat of combustion is the energy released when a compound undergoes complete combustion (burning) with oxygen. The symbol for the heat of combustion is ΔHc. Chemical stability refers to whether a compound will react with water or air (chemically stable substances will not react). Hydrolysis and oxidation are two such reactions and are both chemical changes. Flammability refers to whether a compound will burn when exposed to flame.

Oxygen and fuel combustion produces approximately 75% less flue gas than air fuel combustion and produces exhaust consisting primarily of CO2 and H2O. The justification for using oxy-fuel is to produce a CO2 rich flue gas ready for "The process of removing carbon from the atmosphere and depositing it in a reservoir. " This has significant advantages over traditional air-fuel combustion. The mass and volume of the flue gas is reduced, less heat is lost in the flue gas. The size of the flue gas treatment equipment can be reduced.

The students and faculty of Colorado State University’s College of Business and Engineering have developed a new product called the ‘Starlight Stove’ and are extremely excited for its launch. The Starlight Stove has been produced to make life easier for the less fortunate and also improve their standard of living. Their target market was for poor people in Nepal. Only around 11% of the population uses electricity, while the rest use wood, fire, coal as a source of energy. This leads to major air pollution which causes various diseases in women and often leading to the death of young children.

Chemical compounds that are available to determine are CaCO3, CaCl2, Ca(NO3)2, mgCl2, MgSO4, KCl, HCl, HC2H3O2, KNO3, K2SO4, NaC2H3O2, Na2CO3, NaCl, Na2SO4, HNO3, H2SO4, HNO3, H2SO4, NH4Cl, (NH4)2SO4, K2CO3, 0.1 M AgNO3, 0.2 M BaCl, Mg(s), NaOH, and KOH. To start this experiment, start with the flame test by gathering a Bunsen burner and a Nichrome wire. Connect the Bunsen burner with a rubber tube to a laboratory gas. To prepare solutions for the flame test, weigh out 0.205 gram of Unknown Compound using an analytical balance and mixed it into a 140 mL beaker filled with 20 mL ionized water. Ensure that solid is completely dissolved using a stirring rod.

Then the scientist will observe the different rates of reaction with temperature. The Boltzmann distribution of law, indicates that high temperature makes molecules gain high energy contents (pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/ja). In order to measure the reaction rate, the scientists must use the same volume of water at three different starting temperatures: hot tap

Carbonic acid, then decomposes and creates water plus carbon dioxide. The water and carbon dioxide are incorporated because of temperature. Temperature is the measure of the average heat or thermal

1. Introduction Research surrounding the co-combustion of coal and biomass is important because it provides a more environmentally focused method of power generation that can be used throughout the world. This subject was chosen to bring light to the topic of co-combustion of coal and biomass and to examine recent work performed in this particular area. One of the best ways to curb hazardous emissions is to introduce biomass and waste as replacements for fossil fuels in the power generation process.

It is a subcategory of the standard enthalpy of reaction and defined as the energy released with the formation of 1 mole of water (Enthalpy of neutralization, 2018). Standard enthalpy of reaction is the enthalpy change that occurs in a system when matter is transformed by a chemical reaction. All products and reactants must be in their standard state (Standard enthalpy of reaction, 2017). The standard enthalpy change can be found by dividing the heat released during the reaction by the number of moles involved in the reaction (Enthalpy of neutralization,

The Basic structure of gas hydrates, and the conditions that are necessary for hydrates formation, 5. Hydrate formation and growth in pipeline. 2.8.2 A Brief History of Natural Gas: The term natural gas refers to hydrocarbon-rich gas; it is a gaseous fossil fuel that is found in oil fields, natural gas fields, and coal beds (Carroll, 2010; Speight, 2007). The discovery of natural gas dates from ancient times in the Middle East.
