Well, my chemistry teacher is extremely confusing, and wants us to create our own lab where we figure out the enthalpy changes in a chemical reaction. Is there are reaction out there that would give a considerable change in temperature, while using chemicals typically found in a high school? As an aside, he also gave us an option to
Here's what I've come up with so far... it would be great if I could get some feedback on these reactions.
1. [tex]Mg_ (s) + HCl_ (aq) [/tex]
(Last resort, because my teacher recommends a double displacement reaction)
2. [tex]NaOH_ (aq)+ HCl_ (aq) [/tex]
(Another last resort, because my teacher recommends a double displacement reaction)
3. [tex]CuSO_4_(aq) + 2NaCl_ (aq) [/tex]
(I have no idea if there's going to be any heat change from this)
Any help on this would be fantastic and very much appreciated!
Thanks,
