Q17
Procedure
1.Measure [20 -200] cm3 of sodium hydroxide [0.1-2.0] mol dm-3 solution.
2.Pour the solution into a polystyrene cup.
3.Record the initial temperature of the solution.
4.Measure [20 – 200] cm3 of hydrochloric acid [0.1 – 2.0] mol dm-3.
5.Pour the solution into another polystyrene cup.
6.Record the initial temperature of the solution
7.Pour hydrochloric acid into sodium hydroxide solution.
8.Stir the mixture.
Record the highest
temperature reached. (7 marks)
Working
•Initial
temperature of hydrochloric acid = T1
•Initial
temperature of sodium hydroxide = T2
•Average
initial temperature = = Ta
•Highest temperature = Tb
•Heat
given out = 200 x 4.2 x (Tb
- Ta) = x J 1 mark
•Heat
of neutralization = -x/0.1 /1000 kJ mol-1
or
-x/0.1 J mol-1 1mark
