Heat of Combustion of a Candle
Purpose:
To observe a burning candle and calculate the heat associated with the combustion reaction
Materials:
Ruler
Candle
Aluminum foil
Balance
Safety matches
Procedure:
1: Measure and record the length of a candle in centimeters
2: Place the candle on a small piece of aluminum foil and measure the mass of the foil-candle system.
Note the time as you light the candle. Let the candle burn for about 5 minutes. Caution keep clothing away from flame. While you wait begin answering the data and conclusion questions.
3: Extinguish the candle and record the time.
4: Measure the mass of the foil candle system again. Do not try to measure the mass while the candle is burning.
Data
Length before: 5.9cm Mass before:1.53g
Length After: 3.5 cm Mass after: 1.16
Analysis and Conclusion
1: (description) the fuse is engulfed in flame as the flame spins gracefully off the top.
2: Wick
3: The wax holds it up and slows it down.
4: Because the flame puts off heat.
5: Loss .37g and 2.4 cm. This data the most consistent with the wax burning
6: You light the wick and it ignites and guides the flame from the burning wax.
7: C20H42 + 20 O2= 20 CO2 + 21 H2O
8: .37/283(molar mass)=.0013mol
9: 42 jk/mol
10: .05jk
Heat of Fusion of Ice-Lab
Purpose: The purpose of this experiment is to find the delta heat for water.
Procedure: 1) start with 100ml of water on a hot plate and make sure it is at 50 Celsius
2) Place into foam cup and record the temperature
3) Drop 2-3 ice cubes in and stir but don't run out of ice. If ice melts add more
4) Once temp stabilizes around 0 Celsius and remove ice
5) Measure new volume of the water
Data Table:
0 minutes 50 Celsius
1 minute 5 Celsius
2 minutes 3 Celsius
3 minutes 3 Celsius
4 minutes 0 Celsius
Starting Water: 100g
Ice water with cup: 165.46g
Cup: 7.49
Ice water: 157.97
Calculate:
1) mass of 100ml of water
100ml=100g
2) Calculate q = m x delta t x c
q= 100 g x 50 x 50 C= 250,000
3) Determine q ice
flip sign -250,00
4) Mass of ice melted
57.97 g
5) Moles of ice melted
57.97(1 mol/18)= 3.22
6) delta H fusion for ice kj
3.22 1 mol H2O
250,000jk x
7) delta H = 6.01 kj/mol
Conclusion:
If 100ml water is cooled to 0 Celsius with ice then the delta H will equal about 6.01 kj/mol because delta H for water is 6.01 kj/mol. This does support the hypothesis. This experiment went well except the cup had a small leak so it had to be plugged with fingers which could have contributed extra heat. Also it never was exactly 0 degrees. This experiment was successful because water was cooled to 0 Celsius the delta heat was found being about 6.01 kj/mol.
