Drying agent:Drying agents absorb the moisture contents from a substance
Dehydrating agent: dehydration removes the water molecules, hence totally a new product is formed
what do u mean by a new product formed on removing moisture? nd can u give an example of drying agent ?

Drying simply is removing the water present in the crystal due to its treatment during the course of experiment. I have mentioned the examples of drying agent in one of my posts. An example could be silica gel

Errors in measuring enthalpy change:
1. Maximum temperature difficult to determine
Measure temperatures often or use a computer and datalogger to measure the temperature

2. The temperature of the solution is not uniform
Stir the solution throughout the experiment or use a magnetic stirrer



Also, even if there are no experimental error while measuring the enthalpy change of combustion of ethanol , we cannot find the accurate value of the enthalpy. The defintion of enthalpy requires formation of liquid water on combustion but in our experiment the water is being turned into vapour!!!!!!!!

What is the formula to calculate solubility ?

Is it Mass of crystals/g x 100/ Mass of water/g ??

Can someone please post the spceimen results when KClO3 will saturate at 100 g of water?

How to purify an organic liquid ( such as cyclohexene) that is contaminated with acid:
1. Add NaHCO3 in excess. This reacts with the acid to neutralize it
2. Wash off the NaHCO3 from the organic liquid using water (NaHCO3 is aqueous)
3. Add drying agent to the solution to remove water
4. Distill the solution

First realize that we need only 250 cm3, not 1 dm3
Now in 250 cm3 there will be: 50/4 = 12.5 g of the solid

I DIDNT GET DIS?>
50 grams is the total mass.. means that 1 molar mass in 1000cm3(1dm3) ... so we have to make a solution of 250cm3.. so if 50g are in 1000cm3 than 50/4=12.5g will be in 1000/4=250cm3 ... i hope u get it :)

When asked "Which equipment should be changed so that the accuracy is improved the most?", always choose the equipment which has the highest percentage error in the experiment.

highest because they increase uncertainty!
the ones with low errors should be used
