Thermal Decomposition of Sodium Hydrogencarbonate

Added by Dr. Martin Armitage on Dec 15, 2008

This activity examines one experimental method of determining the temperature at which a chemical reaction becomes feasible. Students will also use thermodynamic data to make a theoretical prediction of the temperature and compare the results of the different approaches.

This item teaches:

  • how the temperature at which a reaction is feasible can be determined
  • how the feasibility of a reaction can be determined by the balance between entropy an enthalpy
