镁的燃烧热

用赫斯定律和氧化镁测定ΔH

Thermochemistry Advanced (University) 50 分钟 ~$12.00

目标

由于直接测量不可行,用赫斯定律间接测定镁的燃烧焓。

背景

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.

安全警告

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

材料

  • Magnesium ribbon (0.5 g)
  • Magnesium oxide (MgO) (1 g)
  • Hydrochloric acid (HCl) (200 mL)

步骤

1

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

8 分钟 H₂ produced — no flames
2

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

5 分钟
3

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

8 分钟
4

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

5 分钟
5

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

5 分钟
6

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

5 分钟

预期结果

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

清理

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