Post Lab Questions

1. With water and sodium chloride solution, was there a change in temperature? Was there
a reaction at all? Why is this so?
Based on our experiment the temperature of water with NaCl was change. Yes there was a
reaction at all because the covalent bond in salt molecules pull the sodium and chloride
apart.
2. How would you describe the heat energy involved in the reaction of acetic acid and
sodium bicarbonate? Explain the reason behind this energy.
The heat energy of this reactions of acetic acid and sodium Bicarbonate was consumed
energy or absorbed energy and the temperature decreases. When you mix together the
acetic acid and sodium bicarbonate the coldness spread throughout the area as it absorbed
energy.

3. How would you describe the energy involved in the reaction of water and magnesium
sulfate? Explain the reason behind this energy.
The energy in this reaction was absorbed because water molecules bind to the individual
magnesium and sulfate ions. When dissolved in water magnesium ionizes into magnesium
ions and sulfate ions.

4. How would you describe the energy involved in the reaction of water and magnesium
sulfate? Explain the reason behind this energy.
The energy in this reaction was absorbed because water molecules bind to the individual
magnesium and sulfate ions. When dissolved in water magnesium ionizes into magnesium
ions and sulfate ions.

5. How would you describe the energy involved in the reaction of potassium permanganate
and propanone? Explain the reason behind this energy.
The oxidizing characteristics of the Permanganate ion interact with the glycerin as it comes
into touch with the potassium Permanganate. Glycerin oxidization is very exothermic, and in
a short while, the heat that is released from the process leads the glycerin to likewise ignite,
burst into flame, and released smoke.

6. How would you describe the energy involved in the reaction of dry yeast and hydrogen
peroxide? Explain the reason behind this energy.
The reaction between the hydrogen peroxide and the yeast is called exothermic reaction.
You will feel a warmth to the outside of the container because energy is released.
6.1 What were your observations when the lighted splint was placed inside the graduated
cylinder? What was the reason behind it?
I observe when the lighted splint placed inside the graduated cylinder the yeast and
hydrogen Peroxide was overflow and the energy was released. Adding yeast to hydrogen
peroxide disintegrates into oxygen gas and water. The bubbles you observed contained
oxygen that is why temperature increases.

7. Which reactions were endothermic? Which ones were exothermic? Which did not involve
any reaction?
