Q

What happens due to the enthalpy of the reactants and products not being the same?

A

Energy is either given out (exothermic) or taken in (endothermic) during the reaction. This is the enthalpy change.

Q

Describe a method to find enthalpy change of combustion of a fuel?

A

1- Measure 100cm3/100g of water into a calorimeter.
2- Weigh a spirit burner containing the liquid/fuel to be burnt.
3- Measure initial temp. of the water using a thermometer.
4- Use spirit burner to heat the water.
5- Stop heating after reasonable temp. change.
6- Reweigh spirit burner then use weigh by difference.
7-Calculate temp change of reaction and mass of fuel burnt (difference between spirit burner masses)
8-Use q=mcΔt, calculate moles of fuel by mass/mr
9- Change J into kJ and then divide by moles

23
Q

Why is the value for enthalpy of combustion lower than in data books?

A

-Heat losses to the surroundings from the spirit burner, wick and calorimeter.
-Incomplete combustion of the fuel.
-Reaction did not occur in standard conditions.
-Loss of water by evaporation.

24
Q

How to improve simple calorimetry experiment?

A

-Use lid on calorimeter to reduce heat loss to the surroundings.
-Minimise the distance between the flame and the calorimeter.
-Insulate calorimeter and spirit burner to reduce heat loss.
-Burn in a supply of pure oxygen to reduce incomplete combustion.

Q

Describe a method to find enthalpy change of neutralisation?

A

2- Rinse measuring cylinder with 1moldm-3 HCl then measure 25cm3 and transfer into the cup.
3-Stir acid with thermometer and measure temp.
4- Rinse second measuring cylinder with 1moldm-3 NaOH (aq), measure 25cm3.
5- Add NaOH to acid, stir, record highest temp. reached. Highest temp-lowest temp.
6- Add the solution volumes together= mass (50cm3), sub into q=mcΔt, divide by 1000
7- If moles are the same, divide by the moles.
8- If moles are different, use the limiting reagent: moles= mass/mr or volume (dm3) x conc. (moldm-3)

28

3- Place lid on cup, put under tripod and put thermometer through hole. Stir + record temp every minute.
4- At 4 minutes, add zinc and continue stirring and recording temp. until 15mins.
5- Extrapolate graph of temperature against time back to 4 minutes to find maximum rise.
6- If you do not know which reactant is the limiting one, calculate moles for both.
kJ/smallest moles
