2.1 Exercise 1 - Measuring Enthalpy Changes

The document provides a series of chemistry problems involving calculating enthalpy changes from temperature changes during chemical reactions in solution. The problems involve displacement reactions of copper by zinc and magnesium, dissolution of sodium chloride and magnesium chloride in water, neutralization of hydrochloric acid with sodium hydroxide, and reaction of sodium hydroxide with acetic acid. Students are asked to use given temperature change data, densities, heat capacities, volumes, and masses to calculate enthalpy changes for the various reactions.

1 EXERCISE 1 – measuring enthalpy changes

In all the following questions, assume that the densities and specific heat
capacities of the solutions are the same as pure water
i.e. ρ = 1.0 gcm-3 and c = 4.18 Jg-1K-1

1. Zinc will displace copper from copper (II) sulphate solution according to the
following equation:
CuSO4(aq) + Zn(s)  Cu(s) + ZnSO4(aq)
If an excess of zinc powder is added to 50 cm3 of 1.0 moldm-3 copper(II) sulphate,
the temperature increases by 6.3 oC. Calculate the enthalpy change for the
reaction.

2. Magnesium will also displace copper from copper (II) sulphate solution. If an
excess of magnesium is added to 100 cm3 of 1.0 moldm-3 copper(II) sulphate, the
temperature increases by 46.3 oC.
a) Calculate the molar enthalpy change for the reaction
b) Calculate the minimum quantity of magnesium required to ensure it is in
excess.
c) Calculate the temperature change if only 0.8 g of magnesium is added.

3. When 5.73 g of sodium chloride (NaCl) dissolves in 100 cm3 of water, the
temperature of the water fell from 22.4 oC to 19.8 oC. Calculate the enthalpy
change of the reaction.

4. When 2.3 g of magnesium chloride dissolves in 200 cm3 of water, the temperature
rose by 3.4 oC. Calculate the enthalpy change for the reaction.

5. If 50 cm3 of 0.1 moldm-3 HCl and 50 cm3 of 0.1 moldm-3 NaOH are mixed, the
temperature of the solution rises by 0.68 oC. Calculate the enthalpy change of the
reaction in kJmol-1.

6. If 50 cm3 of 1.0 moldm-3 NaOH is added to 25 cm3 of 2.0 moldm-3 CH3COOH, the
temperature rose by 8.3 oC. Calculate the molar enthalpy change for the reaction.
