Journal Entry:
What are the reactants and products in a combustion
reaction?
Learning Intentions
- We will learn how to define heat of reaction and heat of
combustion
- We will learn how to perform a calorimetry procedure to
determine the heat of combustion of two different alcohols.
- We will learn how to compare the heats of combustion of
different carbon-based fuels.
Closing Task:
You can calculate
and compare
the heats of combustion of different carbon-based fuels.
Content Standards being covered in this unit:
Student
can identify types of energy and explain energy changes.
Students can create a computational model to calculate the change in the energy
of one component in a system when the change in energy of the other component(s)
and energy flows in and out of the system are known (HS-PS3-1 and CCC Energy and
Matter)
Students can develop a model to illustrate that the release or absorption of
energy from a chemical reaction system depends upon the changes in total bond
energy.(HS-PS1-4 and CCC Energy and Matter) .
Students can develop and use models to illustrate that energy at the macroscopic
scale can be accounted for as a combination of energy associated with the
motions of particles (objects) and energy associated with the relative position
of particles (objects).(HS-PS3-2 and CCC Energy and Matter)
Students can plan and conduct an investigation to provide evidence that the
transfer of thermal energy when two components of different temperature are
combined within a closed system results in a more uniform energy distribution
among the components in the system (second law of thermodynamics) (HS-PS3-4 and
CCC Energy and Matter)
