Here are my lab notes from my different trials

A.) Record thefollowing for each of the three trials:

Trial 1

  1. Mass of the empty calorimeter (g):18.600g
  2. Initial temperature of the calorimeter (�C):21.5 C
  3. Maximum temperature in the calorimeter from thereaction (�C): 34.9 C
  4. Calculate ?T by subtracting (b) from (c) (�C) ?T =Tmaximum � Tinitial
  5. Mass of the calorimeter and its contents after thereaction (g)
  6. Calculate the mass of the contents of the calorimeter(g) by subtracting (a) from (e)
  7. Calculate the moles of Mg reacted (MW = 24.305g/mole)

Trail 2

  1. Mass of the empty calorimeter (g):18.600g
  2. Initial temperature of the calorimeter (�C):21.5 C
  3. Maximum temperature in the calorimeter from thereaction (�C): 43.8 C
  4. Calculate ?T by subtracting (b) from (c) (�C) ?T =Tmaximum � Tinitial
  5. Mass of the calorimeter and its contents after thereaction (g)
  6. Calculate the mass of the contents of the calorimeter(g) by subtracting (a) from (e)
  7. Calculate the moles of Mg reacted (MW = 24.305g/mole)

Trail 3

  1. Mass of the empty calorimeter (g):18.600g
  2. Initial temperature of the calorimeter (�C):21.5 C
  3. Maximum temperature in the calorimeter from thereaction (�C): 52.7 C
  4. Calculate ?T by subtracting (b) from (c) (�C) ?T =Tmaximum � Tinitial
  5. Mass of the calorimeter and its contents after thereaction (g)
  6. Calculate the mass of the contents of the calorimeter(g) by subtracting (a) from (e)
  7. Calculate the moles of Mg reacted (MW = 24.305g/mole)

B.) Calculate theheat released into the solution for the 3 reactions, according tothe formula:

qreaction = (Ccal * ?T) + (mcontents *Cpcontents * ?T)

Assume Cpcontents = Cpwater = 4.18 J/g�C

  1. Trial 1 (J):
  2. Trail 2 (J):
  3. Trail 3 (J):

C.) Find the molarheat of reaction for each experiment in units of kilojoules / (moleof Mg) by dividing the heat of reaction (converted to kJ bydividing by 1000) by the moles of Mg used.

  1. Trail 1 (kJ/mol):
  2. Trail 2 (kJ/mol):
  3. Trail 3 (kJ/mol):

D.) Calculate andrecord the average molar heat of reaction from the threeresults:
