Question

Does this experimental process support Hess's law suggest ways of improving your results?

Answer 1

Answer:

Does this experimental process support Hess's law? Suggest ways of improving your results. Yes, this experiment supports Hess's Law. The enthalpy of reactions 1 and 2 add up to the calculated enthalpy for reaction 3, even though it's not the same as the the accepted value.

Answer 2

Explanation:

• Yes, this experimental process supports Hess’s Law.
• The enthalpy of reactions 1 and 2 add up to the calculated enthalpy for reaction 3, even though it's not the same as the accepted value.
• If the experiment takes place in a closed system or in lab, then no heat would be released into the surroundings.
• Instead of using a thin Styrofoam cup, one could use a thermos flask or calorimeter with multiple layers that has a vacuum between two of the layers.
• Vacuums have a 0-thermal conductivity, so no heat would be lost resulting in a more accurate data set.
