    The document is a pre-laboratory report for an experiment to determine the heat capacity ratio of nitrogen gas using the Clement and Desormes method of adiabatic expansion. It outlines the objectives, materials, equipment, chemicals, procedures, and data collection aspects of the experiment. The experiment involves using a gas tank, manometer, thermometer and other equipment to collect temperature and pressure measurements during the adiabatic expansion of nitrogen gas, in order to calculate the heat capacity ratio. Hazards of nitrogen gas are also noted.

    Harmful when swallowed; an irritant; may cause reproductive harm. Eye Contact: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Skin Contact: Wash with soap and water. Cover the irritated skin with moisturizer. Get medical attention if irritation develops. Inhalation: If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen and seek medical attention. Ingestion: Loosen tight clothing such as collar and belt. Seek medical attention. Do NOT induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical personnel. *Depends on availability ** Manometeric fluid III. Procedure & Experiment Setup Setups

    Procedure Prepare 50mL solutions of ethanol and water with different concentrations (20%, 40%, 60%, 80% and 100% v/v ethanol-water) using pipettes and volumetric flasks. Cover solutions when not in use. Record values of ambient temperature and pressure before starting the experiment. Place the prepared solutions in an ice bath for about 15minutes. This step is used to prevent unexpected flashing of solutions at low temperature. Wash the open cup from the Semi-Automatic Cleveland Open Cup Flashpoint Tester with distilled water, and then put it also in the ice bath to standardize its temperature with the solutions. Set-up the Semi-Automatic Cleveland Open Cup Flashpoint Tester. Transfer the ethanol-water solution to the cup. Position a taper flame above the cup but outside the rim. Dip a thermocouple into the solution inside the cup to check its temperature. Avoid contact to the walls of the cup. Slowly heat the cup with the solution. Abrupt changes in temperature may prevent accurate reading of flash point and fire point temperatures. Move the taper flame over the cup at certain intervals of temperature (i.e. every 3C for temperature values way lower than the theoretical flash point temperature and every 1C for temperature range within 10-15C of the theoretical value) by pressing the swing button. For a less haggard method, try adjusting the heating to a minimum so that temperature increases slowly, then all thats needed to be done is to swing the tapered flame back and forth without minding a constant temperature interval. Record the flash point temperature. The flash point of a solution is the emergence of a large blue flame over the entire solution, which extinguishes quickly. Record the fire point temperature. The fire point of a solution is marked by a steady flame on the surface of the solution for 5 or more seconds. Quickly remove the thermocouple after reading the desired temperatures. Repeat steps 3-11 for other solutions with different concentrations and take three trials for each.
