Nano20Lab 9 Heat of Reaction
OBJECTIVE:
To experimentally determine the heat of reaction for two exothermic reactions.
DISCUSSION:
The heat given off or gained in a reaction is called the heat of reaction (∆????????????????????????????????????).
A reaction that releases heat is known as an exothermic reaction; an endothermic reaction
is one that absorbs heat.
The heat of the reaction corresponds to one mole of the reactant and is expressed in
kilocalories per mole of reactant or in kilojoules per mole of reactant: ∆???????????????????????????????????? = ???????????????????????????????????? (????????????????)
???? (????????????) , where qreaction is the heat produced or absorbed by a certain amount of moles of
reactant, n.
The reactions for this experiment are outlined as (1) and (2) and are as follows:
(1) ???????????????? (????) + ???????????? (????) → ???????? + (????????) + ????????− + ???????????? (????) (????????) ∆???????? =?
(2) ???????????????? (????) + ???????????? (????????) → ????????+ (????????) + ????????− (????????) + ???????????? (????) ∆???????? =?
To determine Hreaction the heat released or absorbed by the reaction must be measured.
When an exothermic reaction occurs in a container, the heat which is released warms up the
container and its contents (the temperature increases). The contents of the container include
the reaction products and a solvent (water in our case). The measurement of the heat transfer
under controlled conditions is called “calorimetry” (from the energy unit, calorie), and a
container used to measure the heat transfer is called a calorimeter. The calorimeter prevents
heat transfer to or from the surroundings, thereby isolating the system that us being
measured.
When a reaction occurs in a relatively large amount of solvent (water), we can consider water
as the sole medium absorbing the heat of the reaction. This allows us to apply the law of
conservation of energy (heat released by the reaction is equal to the heat absorbed by the
water) and to calculate the heat of reaction by measuring the temperature change of the
water (even though it is actually a diluted aqueous solution of the products), according to
the following relationships:
(3) ???????????????????????????????????? = −???????????????????????? (4) ???????????????????????? = ???????????????????????? ∗ ???????????????????????? ∗ ∆????????????????????????
Where: swater is the specific heat of water, 1.00 ????????????
????∙℃ or 4.184
????
????∙℃ ; mwater is the mass of water
used (recall that an acid solution (HCl (aq)) is mostly water); ∆???????????????????????? is the difference between the initial and final temperatures of the water solution in the calorimeter.
PROCEDURES:
REACTION 1:
1. Open the virtual lab workspace for the “heat of reaction” activity. (Posted on the course website)
2. From the glassware menu, obtain a 50 mL graduated cylinder and a foam cup (“glassware”). Take out the distilled water and solid NaOH (“stockroom”) and the
balance (“tools”).
3. Transfer 50.0 mL of water to the graduated cylinder. Record the initial temperature. 4. Weigh between 1.00 and 1.50 grams of solid NaOH in the foam cup (tare the foam
cup first, on the balance). Record the mass of NaOH.
5. Pour the water into the foam cup and record the highest temperature; this is the final temperature.
REACTION 2:
1. Take the 0.50 M HCL from the stockroom, measure 50.0 mL with the graduated cylinder, and record the initial temperature.
2. Empty the foam cup (right click). The procedure is the same as in reaction 1, except that HCl is being used in place of water.
3. Record the mass of NaOH used, and the initial temperature of the acid, and the final temperature after the NaOH has been added.
