Kristalisasi Eksotermik Natrium Asetat

Mengukur panas yang dilepaskan selama kristalisasi seketika

Thermochemistry Intermediate (High School) 30 menit ~$8,00

Tujuan

Kuantifikasi panas yang dilepaskan selama kristalisasi natrium asetat lewat jenuh menggunakan kalorimetri.

Latar Belakang

When supersaturated sodium acetate crystallizes, it releases stored energy as heat. By triggering crystallization inside a calorimeter and measuring the temperature rise, the enthalpy of crystallization can be determined. This is the same principle used in reusable hand warmers.

Peringatan Keselamatan

  • Hot solution during preparation
  • Crystallization releases heat — container gets warm

APD yang Diperlukan

goggles

Bahan

  • Sodium acetate trihydrate (80 g)
  • Distilled water (150 mL)

Peralatan

Polystyrene cup calorimeter Hot plate Thermometer Beaker (250 mL) Stirring rod

Prosedur

1

Dissolve 80 g sodium acetate trihydrate in 20 mL water by heating to about 70°C. Stir until clear.

8 menit Handle hot solution carefully
2

Pour the solution into the polystyrene cup calorimeter. Allow to cool undisturbed to room temperature.

15 menit
3

Record the temperature of the supersaturated solution.

1 menit
4

Add a single small crystal of sodium acetate to trigger crystallization. Immediately stir gently and record temperature every 15 seconds.

3 menit
5

Record the maximum temperature reached.

1 menit
6

Calculate the heat released: q = mcΔT. Determine ΔH of crystallization per mole.

5 menit

Hasil yang Diharapkan

Temperature should rise 15-25°C above room temperature. The enthalpy of crystallization is approximately -19.7 kJ/mol for sodium acetate trihydrate. Measured values should be within 20% of this.

Pembersihan

The sodium acetate can be remelted and reused. Rinse the calorimeter. Non-toxic — can go down the drain.
