In each , decide whether the property measured was a chemical or physical property of X, if you can. If you don't have enough information to decide, choose can't decide in the third column. property R V H experiment Into one chamber of an electrochemical cell, a solution of X is introduced, along with a metal electrode. In the other chamber a solution of a known oxidizing reagent O is introduced, along with another metal electrode. The voltage across the electrodes is proportional to the tendency of O to react with X. By measuring this voltage, the value of R may be calculated. A sample of X is melted and put into a reservoir from which a very thin tube leads down. The rate at which X flows out of the tube is measured, and from this rate the value of V may be calculated. A sample of X is carefully weighed and put inside a sealed calorimeter. The calorimeter is heated electrically, and the amount of heat added determined by monitoring the electrical current used. The temperature of X is…
