One way of performing a thermometric titration involves using a fixed volume of alkali with progressive addition of small volumes of acid and monitoring the temperature of the reaction mixture during the process. You are to determine the enthalpy change of neutralisation for the reaction given below. HA(aq) + NaOH(aq) ® NaA(aq) + H2O(l) FA 1 is 1.80 mol dm–3 HA FA 2 is aqueous sodium hydroxide, NaOH In this experiment, you will measure the temperature of the contents of a polystyrene cup. You will analyse your results graphically in order to determine an accurate value for the temperature change of the mixture, caused by the neutralisation of aqueous HA and NaOH. You will use this value to calculate the heat change, q, for the experiment and hence determine a value for the enthalpy change of neutralisation for the reaction, ∆Hn. (a) Procedure 1. Place one polystyrene cup in a 250 cm3 beaker. 2. Rinse and fill the burette with FA 1. 3. Use a measuring cylinder to transfer 25 cm3 of FA 2 into the polystyrene cup. 4. Stir the solution in the cup with the thermometer. Read and record its temperature. 5. Run 5.00 cm3 of FA 1 into the cup. Stir the solution with the thermometer. Record the new temperature and volume of FA 1 added. 6. Run a second portion of 5.00 cm3 of FA 1 into the cup. Stir and record the new temperature and the total volume of FA 1 added. 7. Continue adding FA 1 in
