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?
Based on our experiment the endothermic reaction are water and sodium chloride, Acetic acid
and sodium bicarbonate, Water and magnesium sulfate, which means they are absorbing
energy and the exothermic reactions are potassium Permanganate and glycerin, Dry yeast
and hydrogen peroxide which means they are releasing energy.

8. What is the significance of determining the energy released or absorbed in chemical

reactions? How does it benefit people who study thermodynamics?
The significance of determining the energy released or absorb if there are changes in the
temperature. It can benefit to people who studied thermodynamics to gain more knowledge
and also to know the concept of the chemical reaction process. They can learn how the natural
world operates by monitoring chemical processes.

9. Discuss the importance of understanding reactions involving head energy in

terms of safety. Read the article for your reference.
A thermally unstable reaction system known as a “runaway reaction” exhibits an accelerated
rise in temperature and reaction rate. A reaction on that has gotten out of control because the
rate at which an exothermic chemical reaction on produces heat is higher than the rate at
which it can be cooled. Controlling an exothermic reaction depends on the interactions among
the kinetics and reaction chemistry, The plant equipment design, and the operating
environment. Facilities must consider the following factors to better understand and address
the potential hazards and consequences of reactive system.
