Study Notes

Prayer Before Class

  • Holy Spirit, true source of light and wisdom, dissipate darkness and ignorance.
  • Grant a penetrating mind for understanding.
  • Grant a retentive memory and ease of learning.
  • Guide the work and bring it to success.
  • Ask through Jesus Christ, true God and true man.
  • Reign with the Father, forever and ever.

Post-Laboratory Discussion Experiment 5: Calorimetry

  • Topic: Chemistry for Engineers Laboratory
  • Focus: Calorimetry

Unit Intended Learning Outcome

  • Determine the amount of heat absorbed/released when a solid dissolves in water.
  • Determine and compare the amount of heat involved in 3 related reactions.

Calorimetry

  • Science of determining energy change in a system.
  • Measures heat released/absorbed during chemical reactions (heat transfer).
  • Cannot know the exact enthalpy (heat content) of reactants and products.

Calorimeter

  • Apparatus to measure heat flow in chemical/physical changes.
  • Measures quantity and direction of heat flow.
  • ΔH: change in enthalpy
    • Negative for exothermic reactions; positive for endothermic reactions.

Two Main Types of Calorimeters

  • Bomb calorimeter: maintains constant volume.
  • Constant pressure calorimeter: maintains constant pressure (e.g., coffee cup calorimeter, volume changes possible).

Constant Pressure Calorimeter

  • Uses the First Law of Thermodynamics.
  • If heat is lost by the chemicals during reaction, it must be gained by the solution.
    • qsubstance = - qsolution
  • Enthalpy (H) accounts for heat flow at constant pressure.
    • Heat absorbed/released = change in enthalpy (ΔH).
    • q = ΔH (heat and enthalpy change are interchangeable).
  • Specific heat capacity: energy needed to raise the temperature of 1 gram of a substance by 1 degree Celsius.
  • To measure the enthalpy change for a reaction in aqueous solution, dissolve the reactants in known volumes of water.

Constant Pressure Calorimeter Procedure

  • Measure the initial temperature of each solution.
  • Mix the solutions in a foam cup.
  • Measure the final temperature.

Constant Pressure Calorimeter Calculation

  • Calculate the heat absorbed/released by surroundings (qsurr).
    • qsurr = m × C × ΔT (mass, specific heat, change in temperature)
  • Heat absorbed/released by the surroundings is equal to but opposite in sign to the heat released/absorbed by the system (qsurr = -qsys)
  • Enthalpy change for the reaction (ΔH) can be written as: qsys = ΔH = -qsurr = - m × C × ΔT

Specific calculations: Examples

  • Given values for copper and water properties (mass, specific heat, initial/final temps) calculate the mass of water.
  • Given values for titanium and water properties (mass, specific heat, initial/final temps) calculate the specific heat of titanium

Activity Experiment 5: Calorimetry

  • Determine the heat capacity of the calorimeter.

Determination of the Heat Capacity of Calorimeter

  • Based on relationship: heat lost = heat gained
    • Heat lost by water + heat lost by calorimeter = Heat gained by ice in melting + Heat gained by ice-water
    • mwCp (t₁ - t₂) + Cs(t1-t2) =
    • miHf + miCp(t2 - tice)
    • (mass of water, specific heat, initial temp water, final temperature water, heat capacity, mass of ice, heat of fusion of ice, ice temperature )

Determination of the Heat of Reaction

  • Use the equation: ΔHreaction = (mCp + Cs)(t1 - t2)
    • Cp - specific heat of water (4.184 j/g-°C)
    • m - mass of reactant(s)
    • Cs- heat capacity of calorimeter
    • t1 -initial temperature of water
    • t2 -highest temperature after mixing

Examples of Reactions (Determination of Heat of Reaction)

  • Reaction 1(∆H₁)
  • Reaction 2(∆H₂)
  • Reaction 3(∆H₃)
