1) What is the recommended mass of analyte to be placed in combustion cup? What may happen if this value is exceeded significantly?
2) Before firing the bomb, the temperature is read a number of times. What is the interval and number of readings suggested for this process?
3) The calorie and the joule are both units of energy. What is the conversion factor to convert calories into joules? The Calorie unit (capital “C”) is often used to measure nutritional energy equivalents. How many calories (lower case “c”) are there in one Calorie?

1) ) Calculate the enthalpy of combustion, ΔHcomb., of the cereal, in kJ/mole, from your experimental data. (Note the kJ/mole, that implies the molecular weight, assume the cereal is pure carbohydrate, write a balanced equation, and go from there). Strictly you should correct ΔEcomb. to ΔHcomb., but they turn out to be nearly identical for cereal (why?). Compare your experimental value with a “literature” value and explain any difference. Quote the reference source. (The latter will be the box in the supermarket if your sample was a cereal). Also, compare the value with glucose. Explain any significant differences from the latter.
2) List the possible sources of error and their effects in bomb calorimetry. Where applicable, state how the equipment design of the instrument minimizes those errors.
1) The chart recorder is zeroed on the left side for the glycine part of the experiment and on the right side for the TRIS part of the experiment. Why are the two parts zeroed differently ?
2) The temperature change is measured from the plot of temperature vs. time. What point is best to measure ∆Tc? Would ∆Tc be different at some other point?
PRELAB: The prelab. must completed prior to the beginning of the lab period and handed in before any lab work may be started.
Make sure you read the safety instructions. See the start of the lab. Manual for further details.

EXPERIMENT K:2 June 6, 2008
1) Why is the enzyme catalase used as the catalyst in one of the runs rather than iodide ?
2) Why does the water level in the two burettes need to be equal when reading the volume change ?
3) The rate of production of oxygen gas depends primarily on the decomposition reaction but also on a mechanical aspect of the experimental apparatus. What is this mechanical aspect and why does it influence the rate of gas production ?

1. Using the data from Run 1 obtain the order of the reaction with respect to H2O2. You will need the value of PoH2O
at 25C. C should be in mole.L-1 and time in seconds. (You’ll need to add a few sheets of graph paper to these data sheets).
2. From the first few data points in Runs 1 and 2, obtain the values for dC/dt (or d[O2]/dt) and determine an integer value for the order of the reaction with respect to I-.
EXPERIMENT K:8 June 6, 2008
3. Determine the average rate constant for the reaction at 25C
4. Is the half-life of this reaction independent of the [H2O2] for a particular concentration of catalyst? Explain.
1) In this experiment, a plot of ln(Vi°-mi(t)) vs. t produces a straight line. What quantity can we obtain from the slope of this line? Give the appropriate equations.
2) What is the most important step that should be performed before weighing the dialysis bag ?
