Enthalpy of neutralization
The purpose of this experiment is to determine the enthalpy change for the reaction between aqueous sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and aqueous hydrochloric acid (HCl).
Introduction
A neutralization reaction is a chemical reaction where a base and an acid react with each other. The products will always be water and a salt. The balanced reaction equation for this experiment is the reaction below (Enthalpy of neutralization, 2018).
〖NaOH〗_((aq))+〖HCl〗_((aq))→〖NaCl〗_((aq))+H_2 O_((l))
In aqueous solutions the substances that are involved will experience dissociation, which changes the ionization state of the substances (Neutralization, 2018). When an acid is dissolved in water the covalent bond between the electronegative atom …show more content…

It is a subcategory of the standard enthalpy of reaction and defined as the energy released with the formation of 1 mole of water (Enthalpy of neutralization, 2018). Standard enthalpy of reaction is the enthalpy change that occurs in a system when matter is transformed by a chemical reaction. All products and reactants must be in their standard state (Standard enthalpy of reaction, 2017). The standard enthalpy change can be found by dividing the heat released during the reaction by the number of moles involved in the reaction (Enthalpy of neutralization, …show more content…

n=cV n=1.00 mol dm^(-3)×(25 dm^3±0.16%)/1000=0.025 mol±0.16 %
The enthalpy of neutralization is then calculated.
∆H=(-1356.5 J±3.104% )/(0.025 mol±0.16%)=-54260 J 〖mol〗^(-1)±3.3 %
∆H=-54260 J m〖ol〗^(-1)±3.3%÷1000=-54 kJ 〖mol〗^(-1)±3.3 %
Another way to calculate the enthalpy of neutralization is to assume the density of the solution to be equal to the density of water in order to assume the mass of the solution.
1.00 g 〖cm〗^(-3)×50 cm^3±0.96 %= 50.00 g ±0.96 %
The heat released can then be calculated using the assumed mass. q=50.00 g±0.96 % ×4.18 J g^(-1) ℃^(-1)×6.40℃±3.1 %=1337.6 J±4.06 %
∆H=(-1337.6 J±4.06 %)/(0.025 mol ±0.16 %)=-53504 J m〖ol〗^(-1)±4.22 %
∆H=-53504 J m〖ol〗^(-1)±4.22 %÷1000=-54 kJ m〖ol〗^(-1)±4.22 %

A hot plate was placed under the ring stand. 50 mL of 3.0 M NaOH in a 250 mL beaker and a stir bar was placed in the beaker. The beaker with NaOH was placed on the hot plate and 3.75 grams of NaAlO2*5H2O was placed in the beaker. The temperature probe was placed in the beaker with the solution, not touching the bottom of the beaker. The solution was heated and stirred till the solution dissolved.

Our objective was to pick the best chemical to be used in a hand warm. This chemical had to be cheap, relatively safe, and must raise the temperature by 20oC and no more. We add 6 different chemicals to water we record the inshell temperature and then add one a the 6 chemicals to the water and record the temperature change of the water. We also add cold water hot water together to find how much heat would escape the calorimeter. We found that the calorimeter absorbed 71.1J/oC. Then this information to calculate the energy that was released by all of the chemical reaction.

There was a strong odor similar to the smell of vinegar given off. After the solution was heated and the solid dissolved, 0.2 mL of hydrobromic acid was added to the test tube. The solution turned a bright yellow color after the hydrobromic acid was added. The solution was heated in a hot water bath for 5-10 minutes and then let cool. After heating, the

The first experiment was a Synthesis reaction, this was done by burning the substance magnesium; the substances reacted to form one compound, which ended up being heavier than the first original mass of the magnesium, the final product was known as magnesium oxide. The second experiment that was conducted was the Decomposition reaction, which actually eliminated chemical elements by burning them off, therefore reducing the weight of the final product by 1.673 grams. The third experiment was known as single displacement, by adding the chemical hydrochloric acid to zinc it created a chemical reaction which actually increased the temperature, as well as the pressure within the flask. The last experiment that was conducted was known as double displacement, this experiment involved the exchange of bonds, between the two sodium hydroxide and nickel. The Nickel was forced to group together when it was placed into the sodium hydroxide, instead of mixing with the compound it would rather keep to

When the compound sodium bicarbonate dissolve in water, it breaks apart to make sodium ion and bicarbonate ion (HCO3 − ) ions. The reason why Bicarbonate reacts to hydrogen ions it’s because of the citric acid. It reacts to citric acid is so the form carbon dioxide and water The reaction is calculated by using the following chemical

In the next steps the density of water between 30-40 °C, 40-50 °C and 50-60 °C was measured. Then our results ρ vs T and also density vs temperature values given in the Steam Tables were plotted on the same graph in order to compare. In the second part the density of water was measured by density bottle. The densities obtained from the experiment are 995, 992.5, 991, 990 kg/m3 for the first part and

The items that were massed were the evaporating dish, watch glass, and NaCO3. The materials were massed once before and once after being heated in the drying oven. The mass of the evaporating Dish before was 46.57 g; while after being heating was 60.15 g. The mass of the watch glass before was 57.97 g and after was 48.75g. There were two masses taken for the substance NaHCO3- one with the evaporating dish and one without, subtracted out after the lab was concluded. The mass of the substance with the dish was 48.79 g before and 62.33 g after; meanwhile, the mass of the substance without the dish was 2.22 g before and 2.18 g after. The mass of the NaHCO3 had changed after the reaction occurred along with after it was placed on the hot plate and being in the drying oven.

This measurement is accurate to Dr. Wile’s description of the outcome. He said, “Metals have small specific heats, so it [the answer] should be less than 1 J/g˚C.” Calorimetry is the science of determining the changes in energy of a system by measuring the heat exchanged with the surroundings. Calorimetry experiments are performed in order to determine the heat flow between two substances and a calorimeter is used. A calorimeter is a device that is used to measure the amount of heat transferred to or from an object. The science of calorimetry is that the energy gained or lost by the water is equal to the energy lost or gained by the object.

Introduction Buffer is a solution that resists a change in pH when bases or acid are added. Solutions that are acidic contain high concentrations of hydrogen ions (H+) and have pH values less than seven. Buffer usually consist of a weak acid, and its conjugate base or a weak base and its conjugate acid. The function of buffer is to resist the changes in hydrogen ion concentration as a result of internal and environmental factor. This buffer experiment is important so that we relies the important of buffer in our life.
