II. Results and Calculation

A. Determination of the water value μ of the calorimeter
Value (in g) of the water weight m1 50.72g

Value of the temperature t’1 (°C) 22.5 C0 0.5

Value (in g) of the water weight m2 50.17g

Value of the temperature t2 (°C) 60.3 C0

Calculation of the water value of the calorimeter

The expression of the heat Q gained by the cold water and the calorimeter:

 Q=(µ+m)×Cs×ΔT
 Q=(µ+50.72)×4.18×(40.2-22.5)
 Q=(µ+50.72)×73.986

The expression of the heat Q lost by the heat water and the calorimeter:

 Q= m×Cs×ΔT
 Q=50.17×4.184×-20.1
3
 Q=-4219.216 J

Using the fact that Q gained = Q lost:

 |Q gained|=|Q lost|
 Q=(µ+50.72)×73.986=4219.216
4219.216
 (µ+50.72)= 73.986 =57.07
 µ=57.07-50.72=6.35g

The equivalence volume : This titration is a thermometric titration using the
following method were we draw to 2 line following the
trend and the perpendicular that pass by the
0.5
intersection point give the volume which id equal to

III. Discussion and Comparison of the volumetric and calorimetric titration

In this experiment we used the law of thermodynamics as well the diffusion to determine the
specific heat capacity of a calorimeter
1. Putting 50g of cold water 22.5C0 in the calorimeter first.
2. We adding another 50 g of hot water 60C0.
3. This will create a temperature difference between the cold water and the calorimeter
form one side and the hot water.
4. An equilibrium temperature will be obtained after some minute equal to 40C0.
5. Using the fact that the system will achieve an equilibrium meaning that the heat lost
by the jot water is gained by the cold water and the calorimeter.
6. Qlost=Qgained will allow us to calculate the specific heat capacity of the calorimeter
6.35g
7. the second part of the experiment involve a thermometric titration between HCL and 2
NaOH
8. the data allowed us to represent graphicly the variation of the temperature in function
of the added volume of NaOH.
9. We calculated the equivalence volume 7.8ml using these data as well the HCL
concentration 0.078±1.356×10−3 mol.L-1
10. Since the pressure is constant so the enthalpy of the reaction is equal to the quantity
kj
of heat we calculated ΔH=0.013mol so the objective of the session is achivied.
11. Overall this session allowed us to test thermal energy transfer between 2 bodies
having different temperatures.
