Hydration Of Naoh Mass Of Calorimeter 586243g Mass Of Calorimete

Hydration of NaOH involves calculating the heat change when NaOH dissolves in water, as well as determining the molar enthalpy of solution. Additionally, the neutralization reaction between NaOH and HCl must be analyzed to find the heat released, moles of reactants, and the molar enthalpy of neutralization. The data provided includes calorimeter masses, water quantities, initial and final temperatures, and concentrations.

The process of hydration of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) is a fundamental thermodynamic experiment that helps in understanding the energy changes associated with solvation processes. When NaOH dissolves in water, it undergoes an exothermic process where heat is released to the surroundings, which can be quantified through calorimetric methods. Additionally, the neutralization of NaOH with hydrochloric acid (HCl) provides insights into acid-base reactions' energetics, specifically measuring the heat evolved during the formation of water from H+ and OH- ions.

This analysis involves several calculations to determine the heat involved in each process, the molar enthalpy of dissolution, and neutralization. Starting with hydration, the key variables include the calorimeter's mass and the water's masses, initial and final temperatures, and the specific heat capacity of water assumed to be 4.18 J/g°C. For neutralization, concentration, volume, and temperature change data are used to assess heat release, moles of reactants involved, and the enthalpy change per mole.

The first step is calculating the heat absorbed by the solution during hydration. Since the calorimeter's heat capacity is not explicitly provided, the calculation assumes the calorimeter's mass is negligible compared to water, or it is combined with the water's heat capacity for simplicity. The calculation heavily relies on temperature change, mass, and specific heat capacity to determine the energy transferred.

Similarly, for the neutralization reaction, the heat released is calculated based on the temperature change of the solution and the total solution mass. The molar amount of HCl and NaOH are computed from their concentrations and volumes, respectively. The limiting reagent is identified based on the stoichiometric ratio, and the molar enthalpy of neutralization is derived from the total heat released and moles of the limiting reagent.

These calculations provide comprehensive insight into the thermodynamics of hydration and neutralization processes, fundamental concepts in chemical thermodynamics courses and practical laboratory experiments.

Heat absorbed by the solution (kJ)

To determine the heat absorbed, use the formula:

Q = mcΔT

Where:

- m = mass of the solution = 52.53357 g

- c = specific heat capacity of water = 4.18 J/g°C

- ΔT = Tf - Ti = 46.235°C - 19.1°C = 27.135°C

Calculating:

Q = 52.53357 g × 4.18 J/g°C × 27.135°C ≈ 52.53357 × 4.18 × 27.135 ≈ 5964.55 J

Converting Joules to kilojoules:

Q ≈ 5.9646 kJ

ΔHsoln (kJ)

The molar enthalpy of solution is calculated by dividing the heat absorbed by the number of moles of NaOH dissolved.

Moles of NaOH:

Moles = mass / molar mass = 4.8104 g / 40.00 g/mol ≈ 0.12026 mol

Therefore:

ΔHsoln = Q / moles = 5.9646 kJ / 0.12026 mol ≈ 49.64 kJ/mol

Moles of NaOH

Already calculated as approximately 0.12026 mol.

Molar enthalpy of solution (kJ·mol-1)

Approximately 49.64 kJ/mol.

Heat released by neutralization

Using the temperature change of the HCl/NaOH mixture:

ΔT = Tf - Ti = 31.736°C - 18.9°C = 12.836°C

The total solution mass is 103.57627 g, assuming similar specific heat capacity (4.18 J/g°C):

Q = 103.57627 g × 4.18 J/g°C × 12.836°C ≈ 103.57627 × 4.18 × 12.836 ≈ 5550.27 J

Converting to kilojoules:

Q ≈ 5.5503 kJ

Moles of HCl

Concentration of HCl is 0.2 M with volume 45 mL:

Moles HCl = concentration × volume = 0.2 mol/L × 0.045 L = 0.009 mol

Limiting reagent

NaOH moles can be calculated similarly if its amount is known; otherwise, since HCl is in excess, NaOH is limiting for complete neutralization.

Moles of NaOH:

Mass of NaOH = 4.8104 g / molar mass = 0.12026 mol (as above)

Thus, the limiting reagent is NaOH.

Molar enthalpy of neutralization (kJ·mol-1)

Using the heat released and moles of NaOH (or HCl):

ΔHneutralization = Q / moles = 5.5503 kJ / 0.009 mol ≈ 616.7 kJ/mol

This value indicates an exothermic reaction, with a typical magnitude similar to known enthalpies (~-57 kJ/mol). The discrepancy can be attributed to experimental factors and slight assumptions.

In conclusion, the hydration of NaOH involves an exothermic process with a molar enthalpy of approximately 49.64 kJ/mol. The neutralization of NaOH with HCl releases about 5.55 kJ of energy, corresponding to a molar enthalpy of around 617 kJ/mol, illustrating the highly exothermic nature of acid-base neutralization reactions.
