M1 Lesson 5 Assignment Part 1: Calorimetry

Lab 1: Molar Heat of Neutralization

Data

1. Record the following data collected during the virtual investigation:

initial temperature of 1.0 mol/L H2SO4(aq) 24.2

initial temperature of 1.0 mol/L NaOH(aq) 23.9

average initial temperature of solutions 24.1

final temperature of solutions 32.9

Analysis
1. Calculate the molar heat of reaction for the NaOH(aq) using the data
obtained from the experiment. Show all your work. (6 marks)

2. Calculate a percent difference for the value you obtained from the
experiment to the widely accepted value for the molar heat of neutralization
of sodium hydroxide, -57 kJ/mol. (3 marks)

Now you will analyze the results of an experiment in order to determine the respective
H values. The data for this lab has already been collected and you are required to
complete only the analysis section below.

Hints:

1. Be careful about your +/- signs. Ask yourself at each lab description whether
energy is being released ( - /exothermic) or absorbed (+/endothermic).
2. Remember that when sketching your potential energy graphs, you must apply
the molar heat value, just as you must apply the molar heat term to your
chemical equations.

d) Sketch a completely labeled potential energy diagram describing the enthalpy

change for each system. Include the correct H on the graph. (3 marks)

Ensure that your graph:

- Includes a title
- Has labelled axis

- Includes reactants and products

- Includes the correct H

Be sure to ask any questions you may have regarding the analysis before you send it in.
