Demonstrasi Reaksi Endotermik

Reaksi dingin barium hidroksida dan amonium tiosianat

Thermochemistry Intermediate (High School) 20 menit ~$12,00

Tujuan

Demonstrasikan reaksi yang sangat endotermik di mana campuran menjadi cukup dingin untuk membekukan air di bagian luar labu.

Latar Belakang

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.

Peringatan Keselamatan

  • 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

APD yang Diperlukan

Bahan

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

Peralatan

250 mL Erlenmeyer flask Wooden board Thermometer Stirring rod

Prosedur

1

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

1 menit
2

Add 32 g barium hydroxide octahydrate to the flask.

2 menit Wear gloves — barium is toxic
3

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

2 menit Ammonia released — ventilation
4

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

1 menit
5

Observe the temperature dropping dramatically. Record the minimum temperature.

5 menit Do not inhale fumes
6

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

2 menit
7

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

2 menit

Hasil yang Diharapkan

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.

Pembersihan

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