Теплота сгорания магния

Определение ΔH с помощью закона Гесса и оксида магния

Thermochemistry Advanced (University) 50 мин ~$12,00

Цель

Косвенно определить теплоту сгорания магния с помощью закона Гесса, так как прямое измерение практически неосуществимо.

Предпосылки

The combustion of Mg in O₂ is too vigorous for direct calorimetry. Instead, we measure: (1) Mg + HCl → MgCl₂ + H₂, and (2) MgO + HCl → MgCl₂ + H₂O. Combined with the known ΔH for H₂ + 0.5O₂ → H₂O, Hess's law gives ΔH(combustion) of Mg.

Предупреждения по безопасности

  • HCl is corrosive
  • Mg + HCl produces flammable H₂ gas
  • Do not perform near open flames
  • Wear goggles and gloves

Процедура

1

Reaction 1: Add 50 mL 1M HCl to the calorimeter. Record temperature. Add 0.25 g Mg ribbon. Record max temperature.

8 мин H₂ produced — no flames
2

Calculate ΔH1 for Mg + 2HCl → MgCl₂ + H₂.

5 мин
3

Clean the calorimeter. Reaction 2: Add 50 mL 1M HCl. Record temperature. Add 0.5 g MgO. Record max temperature.

8 мин
4

Calculate ΔH2 for MgO + 2HCl → MgCl₂ + H₂O.

5 мин
5

Use Hess's law: ΔH(combustion) = ΔH1 - ΔH2 + ΔH(H₂ combustion). ΔH(H₂ + 0.5O₂ → H₂O) = -285.8 kJ/mol.

5 мин
6

Compare calculated ΔH with accepted value (-601.6 kJ/mol).

5 мин

Ожидаемые результаты

ΔH1 ≈ -462 kJ/mol, ΔH2 ≈ -146 kJ/mol. ΔH(comb) = -462 - (-146) + (-286) = -602 kJ/mol, close to the accepted -601.6 kJ/mol.

Уборка

Neutralize HCl waste. Dispose of MgCl₂ solution down the drain. Rinse calorimeter.
