The equation for this neutralisation reaction is given below. H+(aq) + OH–(aq) → H2O(l) You will follow the instructions to perform two experiments, Experiment A and Experiment B. Record your results in Tables 1.1 and 1.2. Experiment A Reaction between FA 1, NaHCO3, and FA 2, NaOH. Reaction 1 NaHCO3(aq) + NaOH(aq) → Na2CO3(aq) + H2O(l) ΔHreaction1 The molar enthalpy change for reaction 1 , Δ Hreaction1, is the enthalpy change when 1.00 mol of NaHCO3 reacts completely with NaOH. 1 Using a 50 cm3 measuring cylinder, transfer 30.0 cm3 of FA 1 into a Styrofoam cup. Place this cup inside a second Styrofoam cup, which is placed in a 250 cm3 glass beaker. Place the lid on the cup. 2 Stir and measure the temperature of this FA 1, TFA1. 3 Using another 50 cm3 measuring cylinder, measure 20.0 cm3 of FA 2. 4 Stir and measure the temperature of this FA 2, TFA2. 5 Add FA 2 from the measuring cylinder to the FA 1 in the Styrofoam cup. Immediately replace the lid. 6 Using the thermometer, stir the mixture continuously until a maximum temperature is reached. Read and record this temperature Tmax. 7 Calculate the weighted average initial temperature, Taverage, of FA 1 and FA 2 using the formula given below: Taverage = (𝑉𝐹𝐴1×𝑇𝐹𝐴1)+(𝑉𝐹𝐴2×𝑇𝐹𝐴2) (𝑉𝐹𝐴1 + 𝑉𝐹𝐴2 ) Experiment A TFA1 /°C TFA2 /°C Taverage /°C Tmax /°C ΔTmax /°C Table 1.1

Reaction 2 NaHCO3(aq) + ½H2SO4(aq) → ½Na2SO4(aq) + H2O(l) + CO2 (g) ΔHreaction2 The molar enthalpy change for reaction 2 , Δ Hreaction 2 , is the enthalpy change when 1.00 mol of NaHCO3 reacts completely with H2SO4. 1 Using a measuring cylinder, transfer 30.0 cm3 of FA 1 into a Styrofoam cup. Place this cup inside a second Styrofoam cup, which is placed in a 250 cm 3 glass beaker. Place the lid on the cup. 2 Stir and measure the temperature of this FA 1, TFA1. 3 Using another measuring cylinder, measure 20.0 cm3 of FA 3. 4 Stir and measure the temperature of this FA 3, TFA3. 5 Add slowly, the FA 3 from the measuring cylinder to the FA 1 in the Styrofoam cup. Immediately replace the lid. 6 Using the thermometer, stir the mixture continuously until a minimum temperature is reached. Read and record this temperature Tmin. 7 Calculate the weighted average initial temperature, Taverage, of FA 1 and FA 3 using the formula given below: Taverage = (𝑉𝐹𝐴1×𝑇𝐹𝐴1)+(𝑉𝐹𝐴3×𝑇𝐹𝐴3) (𝑉𝐹𝐴1 + 𝑉𝐹𝐴3) Experiment B TFA1 /°C TFA3 /°C Taverage /°C Tmin /°C ΔTmax /°C Table 1.2 [2] For both Tables 1.1 & 1.2: 1m - All temperature readings are recorded to the nearest 0.1 °C. 1m - ΔTmax/min must be correctly calculated (with sign -ve) i.e. Tmax – average initial temperature.

You are to perform the tests described in Tables 2.1 and 2.3 and record your observations. At each stage of any test, you are to record details of the following: • colour changes seen • the formation of any precipitate and its solubility in an excess of the reagent added • the formation of any gas and its identification by a suitable test • if there is no observable change, write no observable change You should indicate clearly at which stage in a test a change occurs, recording your observations alongside the relevant tests. In all tests, the reagents should be added gradually until no further change is observed unless you are instructed otherwise. If any solution is warmed, a boiling tube must be used. Rinse and reuse test-tubes
