2 [Turn Over 1 A student found a bottle of solid benzoic acid in the school laboratory. She was tasked to determine the standard enthalpy change of neutralisation of benzoic acid. The standard enthalpy change of neutralisation is when one mole of water is formed between an acid and a base. H+ (aq) + OH− (aq) H2O (l) You may assume you are provided with the following: FA 1, aqueous sodium hydroxide, NaOH Solid benzoic acid Polystyrene (styrofoam) cups Apparatus normally found in a school laboratory Before carrying out the experiment, an aqueous solution of 2.00 mol dm -3 benzoic acid (FA 2) is first prepared. Subsequently, in separate experiments, different volumes of FA 2 and FA 1 are mixed while keeping the total volume of the reaction mixture constant. In each experiment, the temperature rise, ∆T, is to be determin ed. A graph of ∆T against volume of FA 1 used is then plotted. Data from the graph can then be used to determine: the ∆Tmax, the concentration of FA 1, the enthalpy change of neutralisation between FA 1 and FA 2. It is given that 4.18 J is required to raise the temperature of 1 cm 3 of any solution by 1 oC. (a) Write an equation to represent the standard enthalpy change of neutralisation between sodium hydroxide and benzoic acid. [1] C6H5COOH(aq) + NaOH(aq) → C6H5COO-Na+(aq) + H2O(l) (b) (i) Write a detailed plan to prepare 2.00 mol dm-3 solution of FA 2. [3] To prepare 250.0 cm3 of 2.00 mol dm–3 benzoic acid (FA 2) Molar mass of C7H6O2= 122 g mol–1
3 [Turn Over 1) Amount present in 250.0 cm3 of 2.00 mol dm–3 solution = 61.0 g 2) Use a weighing balance to measure accurately 61.0 g (minimum 61.0 g or maximum 62.0 g) of solid C 7H6O2 in a cl
