& Determine the calorimeter constant (W) of calorimeter (polythene bottle),
THEORY
In order to determine the calorimeter constant, a known volume of hot water at a know,
temperature is added to a known volume of water taken in the calorimeter at room temperature
Since energy is conserved, the heat gained by the calorimeter and the cold water must be equa]
to the heat lost by hot water. Ift,, t, and ¢, are the temperatures of, cold water, hot water anj
mixture respectively and m,, m, and m, are the masses of calorimeter, cold water and hot
water respectively, then we can write
mC ,(t, —t,) + m,C(t, —t,) = mgClt, - ts)
Here C, is the heat capacity of calorimeter and C is the heat capacity of water. The
quantity m,C, is the calorimeter constant, W
Wt, —t,) + m,C(t, —t,) = m,C(t, ~ t5)
Wt, — t,) = msC(t, ~ t,) —m,C(t, - ty)
Ww Clg (tz — ty) — malts — ty)
The heat capacity of water, C is 4.184 J/K or J/°0.
Knowing all the parameters on RHS, the value of W can be calculated.
It may be noted that t, > t, > t,. Win 8

A. Determination of Calorimeter Constant
Calorimeter constant is determined by following the procedure as described j,
Experiment 4.1.
B. Determination of Enthalpy of Dissolution
1, Put 200 ml of distilled water into the polythene bottle.
2. Now fit a cork with two holes into the mouth of the polythene bottle. Insert a therm.
meter into one hole with its bulb about 1 cm above the bottom of the bottle. Put the
stirrer into the second hole.
3. Note down the temperature (t,)- 2 U ga
4, Take a known weight of finely powdered substance.
5. Transfer the known weight (say w g) of finely powdered hydrated copper sulphate
quickly by removing the rubber cork and putting it back into its position without any
loss of time.
. Stir it with the help of a stirrer till hydrated copper sulphate is dissolved. However,
the rate of stirring should be kept as low as efficiency permits to minimise the energy
introduced by stirring (vigorous stirring does cause some increase in temperature),
7. Note down the temperature (t,) when the substance just dissolves.

1, Lyop! sols; and
2, Lyophobic sols.
1. Lyophilie Sols
Inthis type of colloidal solutions, the disperse phase has great affinity for the dispersion medium.
In such colloids, the dispersed phase does not get easily precipitated and the sols are quite
stable. The solids obtained after evaporation may be reconverted to the sol state by simply
agitating them with the dispersion medium. Examples of lyophilic sols include sols of gum,
gelatine, starch, proteins and certain polymers in organic solvents. Such sols are called
reversible sols. If water is the dispersion medium, these are called hydrophilic sols.
2. Lyophobic Sols
In this type of sols, disperse phase has little affinity for the dispersion medium. These sols are
relatively less stable than lyophilic sols, These sols are easily precipitated (or coagulated) on
the addition of small amounts of electrolytes, by heating or by shaking. These are irreversible
as their precipitated mass cannot be brought back into the colloidal state by simply shaking
them up with the dispersion medium. Examples of lyophobic sols include sols of metals, and
their insoluble compounds like sulphides and oxides. They need stabilizing substances for pres-
ervation. If water is the dispersion medium, these are known as hydrophobic sols.
@ To prepare colloidal solution (sol) of starch.
THEORY
Starch forms a /yophilic sol when water is used as the dispersion medium, The formation of
celerated by ere sol can be prepared by heating starch and water at
100°C. It is quite stable-and i3 uot affected by the presence of any electrolytic impurity.

PRECAUTIONS
1. The apparatus used for preparing sol should be properly cleaned.
2. Distilled water should be used for preparing sols in water.
3. Starch should be converted into a fine paste before adding to boiling water.
4, Starch paste should be added in a thin stream to boiling water.
