I'm in need of some help with calculations for a thermometric titration, I'm going to list the equations I know and the values I have, but I don't have a clue how to calculate the enthalpy change per moles of acid for each neutralisation.
=========================================================
Specific heat capacity of water = 4.2 J deg-1 g-1
Specific heat capacity of Solutions = 4.2 (same as water)
n=CxV/1000
Q=mc(Delta)T
[Naoh] = 0.994 M
[HCL] = 0.994 M
[HNO3] = 0.990 M
[H2SO4] = 0.50 M
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Naoh + HCL ---> NaCl + H20
Ratio: 1 : 1 1 : 1
HCL
Temperature rise at neutalisation = 6.625 C
Volume of NaOH at neutalisation = 23.00 cm3
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Naoh + HNO3 ---> NaNO3 + H20
Ratio: 1 : 1 1 : 1
HNO3
Temperature rise at neutalisation = 7.125 C
Volume of NaOH at neutalisation = 23.50 cm3
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
2Naoh + H2SO4 ---> Na2SO4 + 2H20
Ratio: 2 : 1 1 : 2
H2SO4
Temperature rise at neutalisation = 7.875
Volume of NaOH at neutalisation = 21.50 cm3
=========================================================
I know its alot of work, but I really don't want to fail Chemistry =( I need to know:
Enthalpy change of formation per mole pf H20 in KJ mol -1 = ?
Mass of Solutions = ?
=========================================================
Thank you very much in advance, I appreciate any help I can get. =)
