Enthalpy of Neutralisation Flashcards

1
Q

What is calorimetry?

A

Calorimetry is the process by which the energy change of a reaction is measured using water as a medium.

Q

What is the assumption that is made often in neutralisation?

A

delta H reaction = -delta H water
- The chemical reaction releases energy, the water absorbs energy and vice versa.

Q

How does temp relate to enthalpy?

A

Enthalpy is the total internal energy in a system. Combine temp with the amount of particles (mass) and how well they absorb energy (shc), you get total energy.

Q

What is the structure to find the enthalpy of neutralization?

A
  1. Chemical equation (balanced)
  2. Mcat equation
  3. Find out how much energy is lost (formula 2)
  4. How many moles n=cV
  5. Final cal.
16
Q

What is the important formula to remember?

A

delta H reaction = -delta H water (assumption)

17
Q

How do you find the limiting reagent?

A
  1. Balanced chemical equation
  2. Number of moles of species
  3. Check which one has less moles, taking into account the molar ratio
18
Q

What is the volume of the species added at pH =7?

A

sample:
n(HCl) = n(NaOH) = 0.056mol
C= n/v = 0.056/(1.4) = 0.040L
where 1.4 mol/L is the concentration of NaOH

19
Q

What is the final pH of a solution after the entire mixture is poured in?

A
  1. Find the moles in excess & convert into concentration
  2. Make sure to divide it on top of the total volume of the mixture
  3. Calculate the POH/pH depending on its presence in the reaction
