PROCEDURE | A. Heat Capacity of Calorimeter
Construct a calorimeter similar to the one shown in Figure 28.1 by nesting
theo Styrofoam cups together, Use a cork borer to make a hole in the id
just big enough to admit the thermometer: then slip the thermometer into
’ split one-hole rubber stopper, which prevents you from placing the
thermometer too deeply in the calorimeter. The thermometer should not
touch the bottom of the cup. Rest the entire apparatus in a 400 mL. beaker
to provide stability
Place exactly $0.0 mL of distilled water in the calorimeter cup and repl
the cover and thermometer. Allow $ to 10 miin for the system to reach ther=
imal equilibrium: then record the temperature to the nearest 0.1 °C on the re-
port sheet (1).
Place exactly 50.0 mL. of distitled water in a elean, dry 250 mL. beaker and
heat the water with a ow flame until the temperature is approximately 15° to
20°C above room temperature. Do not heat to boiling; otherwise, appreciable
‘water will be lost, leading to an erroneous result, Allow the hot water to stand
fora minute or twor quickly record its temperature to the nearest 0.1 °C on the
report sheet (2) and pour as much as possible into the ealorimeter. Replace the
id with the thermometer and carefully stir the water with the thermometer.
Observe the temperature for the next 3 min and record the temperature every
15 s on the temperature versus time data sheet at the end of the report pages.
Plot the temperature as a function of time, as shown in Figure 28.2. Deter-
mine AT from your curve; then do the calculations indicated on the report
sheet.
B. Heat of Neutralization of HCI-NaOH
Dry the calorimeter and the thermometer with a towel. Carefully measure
50.0 mL of 1.0 Af NaOH and add it to the calorimeter. Place the lid on the
calorimeter, but leave the thermometer out. Measure exactly 50.0 mL of
1.0 M HCI into a dry beaker. Allow it to stand near the calorimeter for
3.10 4 min. Measure the temperature of the acid, rinse the thermometer with
distilled water, and wipe dry. Insert the thermometer into the calorimeter and
measure the temperature of the NaOH solution.

0,5 °C. IF the difference is greater than that, adjust the temperature of the ICI
by either warming it by holding the beaker in your hands or cooling the out-
side of the beaker with tap water until the temperature of the HCl is within
0.5 °C of that of the NaOH; record the temperature on the teport sheet |
GIVE IT SOME THOUGHT
Here yo
observe a temperature inerease (AT > 0). Does this indi-
cca
at the reaction is exothermic or endothermic?
Record the temperature of the NaOH solution, Lift the lid and carefully add
the 1.0 MHC1 all at once, Be careful not to splash any on the upper sides oF the
cup. Stir the solution gently with the thermometer and record the temperature as
fa function of time every 15 s for the next 3 min. Construct a temperature-versus-
time curve and determine AT. Calculate the heat of neutralization per mole of
water formed, You may assume that the NaCl solution has the same density and
specifie heal as water.

C. Heat of Neutral

Follow the same procedure as in Part B, but substitute 1.0 M/ CHCOOH for
1.0 AFHICI. Calculate the heat of neutralization per mole of water formed

a. Do you predict AH to be the same for the neutralizations of
acetic acid and hydrochloric acid?
b. Why?
Waste Disposal Instructions Handle the stock solutions carefully. You
may use a wet sponge or paper towel to clean up any spills. The reaction
mixtures produced in the Styrofoam cups contain salts. They should be dis-
posed of in the designated receptacles.Heat of Neutralization | 28 Pre-lab
