2 1 Investigation of acid-base titrations involving sodium hydrogen carbonate According to the Arrhenius theory of acids and bases, an acid produces H +(aq) ions and a base produces OH–(aq) ions. The reaction of these two ions to form water molecules is known as acid- base neutralisation. The equation for this neutralisation reaction is given below, and strong acid–strong base reactions are known to have an enthalpy change of neutralisation (∆Hneu) of approximately –57.1 kJ mol-1. H+(aq) + OH–(aq) → H2O(l) ∆Hneu = –57.1 kJ mol-1 However, the ∆Hneu for weak acid–strong base reactions are known to differ. Sodium hydrogen carbonate, NaHCO3, is an example of a weak acid. FA 1 is 1.8 mol dm-3 sodium hydrogen carbonate, NaHCO3. FA 2 is sodium hydroxide, NaOH, of concentration between 0.9 – 1.2 mol dm-3. NaHCO3 + NaOH → Na2CO3 + H2O ∆Hneu’ As the precise concentration of FA 2 is unknown, determination of ∆Hneu’ can be done using a thermometric titration to simultaneously determine both the concentration of FA 2 as well as ∆Hneu’. Thermometric titration is a technique whereby equivalence points of a reaction can be located by observing temperature changes, hence eliminating the need for an indicator. In 1(a), you will perform a weak acid–strong base thermometric titration. The data from this titration will be used to determine: • the titration value at equivalence point, Veq, • the precise concentration of FA 2, [NaOH], • the maximum temperature change, ∆Tmax, • the enthalpy change of neutralisation, ∆Hneu’.
