Experiment 7: Enthalpy of Reaction

Name: Student ID #:

Objective: To determine the heat and enthalpy of neutralization reaction

Background: During the metathesis between an acid and base in addition to water and salt energy
is also released. Such processes where system gives off heat to its surroundings is called an
exothermic process. During an exothermic chemical reaction the internal energy of products is less
than that of reactants. That being said, the stability of the products should be higher than the
stability of the reactants. This stability difference can be simply related to the difference in the
stored chemical potential energies, in term of chemical bondings. In this experiment the heat of
reaction, which will be measured in constant pressure will guide us to estimate enatalpy of
neutralization reaction:

H+(aq) + OH-(aq) → H2O (l)

Materials:

NaOH (aq) HCl (aq) Styrofoam Coffee Cup

Pipette Thermometer

*Warning: Please note that the acid and base are corrosive and you need to avoid any direct
contact.

Procedure:
*In this experiment you will use Styrofoam coffee cup as your insulated calorimeter. The cup
which has a whole at its bottom will be used as the lid, through
which the thermometer will be inserted to the solution.
**We make the assumption that the density and specific heat
capacity of the solution is 1.00 g/ml and 4.18 J/g ºC.
***We make the assumption that the Styrofoam cup doesn’t
absorb any heat.
1) Pipette 50.0 ml of your HCl solution into your Styrofoam cup.
2) Pipette 75.0 ml of your NaOH Solution into a very clean
beaker.
3) Measure the temperatures of both solutions to 0.1 ºC. Note
that these temperatures are expected to be similar to each other
and to the room temperature.
4) Add the NaOH solution to the coffee cup (containing
hydrochloric acid) at once and read the temperature while gently
stirring the solution.
5) Record the highest temperature that you observed after mixing

Problem

1) 66.667 ml of 3.000 M H2SO4 (aq) solution was neutralized by the stoichiometric amount of 4.000
M Al(OH)3 solution in a coffee cup calorimeter. The initial temperature of the solutions was 22.3
ºC and after mixing the temperature raised to 24.7 ºC. If the heat capacity of coffee cup is 1.10 J/g
ºC, calculate the DHreaction in J/mol Al2(SO4)3.
