#3 Chem Lab Report - Agustin

This document describes an experiment on calorimetry with three objectives: 1) determine the specific heat of a metal, 2) determine the enthalpy of neutralization for a strong acid-strong base reaction, and 3) determine the enthalpy of solution for dissolving a salt. It includes prelab questions on the experimental procedures and calculations for determining specific heat and enthalpy of solution. The conclusion states that calorimetry can be used to measure heat released or absorbed during chemical reactions and that the experiment allows determining specific heat, enthalpy of neutralization, and enthalpy of solution.

3. TO DETERMINE THE ENTHALPY OF SOLUTION FOR
THE DISSOLUTION OF A SALT.
PRELABORATORY ASSIGNMENT:

1. Experimental Procedure, Part A.1 What is the procedure for heating a metal to
an exact but measured temperature?
Use weighing paper to measure the mass of the metal on the assigned balance.
Transfer the metal to a dry, 200-mL test tube. Place the 200-mm test tube in a
400-mL beaker filled with water well above the level of the metal sample in the
test tube.

2. Experimental Procedure, Parts A.4,5.


A. When a metal at a higher temperature is transferred to water at a lower
temperature, heat is inevitably lost to the calorimeter (Figure 25.4). Will this
unmeasured heat loss increase or decrease the calculated value of the specific
heat of the metal? Explain. See equation 25.5.
If some heat is lost to the calorimeter then this heat is not accounted for.
Therefore, the specific heat calculated will be lower than the actual.

B. Explain why the extrapolated temperature is used to determine the maximum


temperature of the mixture rather than the highest recorded temperature in the
experiment. See Figure 25.5.
The extrapolated temperature is used to define the maximum temperature of
the mixture relatively than the highest recorded temperature in which the
conclusion will effect in a higher specific heat value. Heat is bound to
escape from whatever apparatus is using, therefore it is needed to account
for the loss of the heat that does not go into increasing the temperature of
the mixture.
3. Experimental Procedure, Parts B. Three student chemists measured 50.0 mL of
1.00 M NaOH in separate Styrofoam coffee cup calorimeters (Part B). Brett added
50.0 mL of 1.10 M HCl to his solution NaOH; Dale added 45.5 mL of 1.10 M HCl
(equal moles) to his NaOH solution. Lyndsay added 50.0 mL of 1.00 M HCl to her
NaOH solution. Each student recorded the temperature change and calculated the
enthalpy of neutralization. Identify the student who observes a temperature change
that will be different from that observed by the other two chemists. Explain why and
how (higher or lower) the temperature will be different.

Since the molarity of Lyndsay’s HCl is more concentrated than Brett and
Dale’s, then the temperature change would be different compared to Brett and
Dale. Therefore, the temperature of the reaction of Lyndsay’s would be higher
than Brett and Dale’s.

4. The specific heat of the metal was determined following Part A of the
Experimental Procedure in this experiment. Complete the following table for Trial 1
(See Report Sheet.) for determining the specific heat of the metal. Record the
calculated values with the correct number of significant figures.
5. The enthalpy of solution for the dissolving of a KBr sample was determined
following Part C of the Experimental Procedure in this experiment. Complete the
following table for Trial 1 (See Report Sheet.) for determining the enthalpy of
solution of KBr.

CALCULATIONS FOR ENTHALPY (HEAT) OF SOLUTIONS


FOR THE DISSOLUTION OF A SALT
CONCLUSION & RECOMMENDATIONS:

A way for us to measure the amount of heat released or


absorbed during a chemical reaction can be accomplished through
the process of Calorimetry. By knowing the change in temperature,
one can already determine whether a reaction is exothermic, which
discharges heat, and endothermic, which absorbs or retain heat. In
the experiment, the objective were to find the specific heat of metal,
the enthalpy of neutralization for a strong acid-strong base reaction,
and the enthalpy of solution for the dissolution of a salt through
performing calorimetry experiment with utilizing a coffee cup
calorimeter apparatus to observe the temperature change of a
chemical reaction. In the first objective, We can acquire the specific
heat of metal by using the heat gained by the water divided by the
product of the mass of metal and the change of temperature of the
metal. Furthermore, in the second objective, the enthalpy of
neutralization is essentially the combination of one equivalent of
hydrogen ions with one equivalent of hydroxyl ions. The enthalpy of
neutralization is the heat evolved when one-gram equivalent of the
acid is completely neutralized by a base in dilute solution. Lastly, in
the third objective, we determine the enthalpy of solution for the
dissolution of salt, which means that the total amount of heat
absorbed or released when two substances go into solution can
either be positive or negative. A positive enthalpy of solution results
in an endothermic reaction, which takes in heat and feels cold to the
touch.
