コーヒーカップ熱量測定

簡易熱量計を使って中和エンタルピーを測定する

Thermochemistry Intermediate (High School) 40 分 ~$8.00

目的

ポリスチレンカップ熱量計を用いてHClとNaOHの中和エンタルピーを決定する。

背景

A polystyrene cup makes an inexpensive but effective calorimeter because it has low thermal conductivity. By mixing known volumes of acid and base and measuring the temperature change, the enthalpy of neutralization can be calculated. The accepted value for strong acid-strong base neutralization is -57.1 kJ/mol.

安全上の警告

  • HCl and NaOH are corrosive
  • Wear safety goggles
  • The mixture will get hot

必要なPPE

材料

  • Hydrochloric acid (HCl) (50 mL)
    1M
  • Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) (50 mL)
    1M
  • Distilled water (100 mL)
    For calibration

器具

Two polystyrene (Styrofoam) cups (nested) Cardboard lid with hole Thermometer (0.1°C resolution) Graduated cylinder (50 mL) Stopwatch

手順

1

Measure 50 mL of 1M HCl and pour into the nested polystyrene cups. Record the initial temperature every 30 seconds for 3 minutes.

5 分 HCl is corrosive
2

Measure 50 mL of 1M NaOH in a separate container. Record its temperature.

2 分 NaOH is corrosive
3

Quickly pour the NaOH into the HCl, stir gently, and replace the lid with thermometer.

1 分 Exothermic reaction
4

Record the temperature every 30 seconds for 5 minutes. Note the maximum temperature.

5 分
5

Plot temperature vs time. Extrapolate the cooling curve back to the mixing time to find the corrected maximum temperature.

6

Calculate ΔT, then q = mcΔT (assume c = 4.18 J/g°C, mass = 100 g). Calculate ΔH per mole of water formed.

8 分

予想される結果

Temperature should rise by approximately 6-7°C. Calculated ΔH should be approximately -50 to -57 kJ/mol (accepted: -57.1 kJ/mol). Losses to the calorimeter walls typically give lower values.

後片付け

The neutralized solution is safe to pour down the drain. Rinse and dry the calorimeter cups for reuse.
