QUESTIONS

You are provided with

  • Anhydrous sodium carbonate solid X
  • Distilled water
  • 0.2M Hydrochloric acid solution A

You are required to determine molar heat of solution of solid X.

PROCEDURE 1

  1. Place 50.0ml of water in 250ml plastic beaker.
  2. Note the temperature of the water and record it in the table 1 below
  3.  Add all the solid X provided to the water in the beaker, stir gently with the thermometer and record the final temperature of the solution in the table 1 below. Keep the resulting solution for procedure 2.

  1. What is the enthalpy change for the reaction? (Assume the density of solution is 1g/cm3, and specify heat capacity is 4.2jg-1 K-1) (2mks)

PROCEDURE II
Transfer the contents of the beaker into 250ml volumetric flask. Rinse both the beaker and the thermometer with distilled water and add this water into the solution in the volumetric flask.
Add more water to make up to the mark. Label this solution as solution X. Fill the burette with solution A. Using a pipette place 25.0ml of solution X into a conical flask. Add 3 drops of methyl orange indicator and titrate with solution A. Record your readings in table II below. Repeat the titration two more times and complete the table.
