The experimental control is the standard used as a comparison for the experimental groups.
For example, you may be trying to find out how different types of disinfectants affect bacterial growth. The control group would receive <em>no</em> disinfectant whereas the experimental groups would be the ones on which the disinfectants were tested.
Hope this makes sense!
Pure substances are further broken down into elements and compounds. Mixture are physically combined structures that can be separated into their original components. A chemical substance is composed of one type of atom or molecule.
Na3PO4*12H2O + BaCl2*2H2O = Ba3(PO4)2 + NaCl + H2O
add barium chloride to your Na3PO4.12H2O a white precipitate of Ba3(PO4)2 will be formed wrt salt(NaCl) and water(H20) if Na3PO4.12H2O. will be there.
Methane is the compound CH4, and burning it uses the reaction:
CH4 + O2 -> CO2 + H2O, which is rather exothermic. To find the heat released by burning a certain amount of the substance, you should look at the bond enthalpy of each compound, and then compare the values before and after the reaction. In methane, there are 4 C-H bonds, which have bond energy of 416 kj/mol, resulting in a total bond energy of 1664 kj/mol. O2 is 494 kj/mol. Therefore we have a total of 2080 kj/mol on the left side. On the right side we have CO2, which has 2 C=O bonds, each at 799 kj/mol each, resulting in 1598 kj/mol, and H2O has 2 O-H bonds, at 459kj/mol each, resulting in a total of 2516 kj/mol on the right hand side. Now, this may be confusing because the left hand side seems to have less heat than the right, but you just need to remember: making minus breaking, which results in a total change of 436kj/mol heat evolved.
Now it is a simple matter of find the mols of CH4 reacted, using n=m/mr.
n = 9.5/16.042 = 0.592195 mol
Therefore, if we reacted 0.592195 mol, and we produced 436 kj for one mol, the total amount of energy evolved was 436*<span>0.592195 kj, or 258.197 kj.</span>
