ऊष्माशोषी अभिक्रिया प्रदर्शन

बेरियम हाइड्रॉक्साइड और अमोनियम थायोसाइनेट की ठंडी अभिक्रिया

Thermochemistry Intermediate (High School) 20 मिनट ~$12.00

उद्देश्य

एक नाटकीय रूप से ऊष्माशोषी अभिक्रिया प्रदर्शित करें जहां मिश्रण इतना ठंडा हो जाता है कि फ्लास्क के बाहर पानी जम जाता है।

पृष्ठभूमि

When barium hydroxide octahydrate reacts with ammonium thiocyanate, the temperature drops to approximately -20°C. This endothermic reaction absorbs so much heat from the surroundings that water on the outside of the flask freezes, effectively gluing the flask to a wet board.

सुरक्षा चेतावनियाँ

  • Barium compounds are toxic if ingested
  • Ammonia gas is released — work in fume hood or ventilated area
  • Wear gloves when handling barium hydroxide
  • Do not inhale the ammonia fumes

सामग्री

  • Barium hydroxide octahydrate (32 g)
    Toxic
  • Ammonium thiocyanate (16 g)
  • Water (5 mL)
    On the board

उपकरण

250 mL Erlenmeyer flask Wooden board Thermometer Stirring rod

प्रक्रिया

1

Pour a few drops of water onto the wooden board to create a wet spot.

1 मिनट
2

Add 32 g barium hydroxide octahydrate to the flask.

2 मिनट Wear gloves — barium is toxic
3

Add 16 g ammonium thiocyanate to the flask. Stir the mixture with a glass rod.

2 मिनट Ammonia released — ventilation
4

Place the flask on the wet spot on the board. Insert the thermometer.

1 मिनट
5

Observe the temperature dropping dramatically. Record the minimum temperature.

5 मिनट Do not inhale fumes
6

After 5 minutes, try to lift the flask. It should be frozen to the board.

2 मिनट
7

Explain that the reaction absorbed heat from the surroundings, freezing the water beneath.

2 मिनट

अपेक्षित परिणाम

The temperature should drop to approximately -20°C within minutes. The flask should freeze to the wet board. A strong smell of ammonia confirms the reaction is proceeding.

सफाई

Allow to warm to room temperature. Dispose of barium waste in heavy metal waste container. Rinse flask and ventilate area thoroughly.
