Calorimetry Lab...report (Chem 312)

The following report will consist of a collection of graphs and handwritten calculations.

KOH or NaOH (s) --> NaOH (aq) (1)
KOH or NaOH (s) + HCl (aq) --> NaCl (aq) + H2O (l) (2)
KOH or NaOH (aq) + HCl (aq)--> NaCl (aq) + H2O (l) (3)

Experimental data

1) Plot out (with axes labels in Igor) time vs temp data for the three reactions on a single graph.
2) As will be discussed in lab, annotate a single data set (on a different graph using a layout) to show how Tf and Ti were determined, and hence ΔT.
3) Show calculations to (hand written) to determine ΔH1, ΔH2, and ΔH3.

Theoretical (hand written)

1) Use the ∆Hf to calculate theoretical values of ΔH1, ΔH2, and ΔH3.
2) Using the concept of Hess’ Law, use the theoretical values to show that ΔH1, ΔH2, and ΔH3.

Conclusion

1) Comment of the quality of the experimental data.
2) Indicate whether your experimental data “follows” Hess’ Law.
3) Suggest sources of error in the experimental setup and potential ways to improve.
