Experiment 1

Part A: Heat of NaOH solubilization

=
q msT
m =
25mL density of water =
25mL 0.998 g // mL =
24.95g
s water = 4.184 J / g oC
T = (T f Ti )= 5 oC
qwater= 24.95 g 4.184 ( J / g oC ) 5 oC
= 521.954 J
Since 0.5 g NaOH released 208.78 J heat.
Therefore 1 gm NaOH will release (521.954/0.50)=1043.908 J/g
H1 =q Mol. wt. NaOH
= 1043.908 ( J / g ) 40 g/=
mol 41.756 kJ/ mol
Part B: Heat of neutralization
amount of water in 25 mL of 1M HCl solution
M 1V1 = M 2V2
11.94 M V1 = 1M 25mL
V1 = 2.1mL
volume of water=(25-2.1)mL=22.89 mL
weight of 22.89 mL water=22.89mLx0.998 g/mL=22.84 g
=
q msT
s water = 4.184 J / g oC
T = (T f Ti )= 6 oC
qwater= 22.84 g 4.184 ( J / g oC ) 6 oC
= 573.375 J

amount of NaOH in 25 mL 1M NaOH solution=1.0 gm

H 2 =q Mol. wt. NaOH
= 573.375 ( J / g ) 40 g/ mol
= 22.935 kJ/ mol

Part C: Heat of Reaction

amount of water in 25 mL of 0.5M HCl solution
M 1V1 = M 2V2
11.94 M V=
0.5M 25mL
1
V1 = 1.04mL
volume of water=(25-1.04)mL=23.95 mL
weight of 23.95 mL water=23.95mLx0.998 g/mL=23.90 g
=
q msT
s water = 4.184 J / g oC
T = (T f Ti )= 8 oC
qwater= 23.90 g 4.184 ( J / g oC ) 8 oC
= 799.98 J

Since 0.5 g NaOH released 799.98 J heat.

Therefore 1 gm NaOH will release (799.98/0.50)=1599.96 J/g
H 3 =q Mol. wt. NaOH
= 1599.96 ( J / g ) 40 g/ mol
= 63.998 kJ/ mol
