Q1. You are provided with
- 1M Hydrochloric acid labeled solution A
- 1M Ethanoic acid labeled solution B
- Sodium hydroxide solution labeled solution C

You are required to compare the molar enthalpy of neutralization of the two acids when reacted with
sodium hydroxide

Procedure I

 Using a measuring cylinder transfer 50.0cm3 of aqueous sodium hydroxide into a 100cm3 plastic
beaker
 Measure its temperature and record it in the table 1 below.
 Fill the burette with Acid A to the 0.0cm3 mark.
 Add 5.0cm3 of Acid A to the sodium hydroxide and stir with the thermometer. Measure and
record the highest temperature reached in thetable 1 below. Add a further 5.0cm 3 of Acid A to the
contents in the beaker and stir. Measure and record in the table the highest temperature reached.
 Continue to add 5.0cm3 portions of Acid A until total volume of 40.0cm3 of acidA has been
added. Stir after each addition and measure and record the highest temperature reached in the
table 1 below.

Procedure II
 Empty the burette and rinse it thoroughly with distilled water
 Fill the burette with Acid B
 Pour the contents in the beaker. Rinse it and transfer 50.0cm3 of sodium hydroxide
solution into it.
 Repeat activity in procedure I, using Acid B inplace of Acid A.
 Record your results in table 2 below

(ii) Determine the volume of Acid A and Acid B used in the two experiments (1 mk)

(b) Use yor values in (a) (i) above to calculate the Molar enthalpy of neutralization for the two acids
(density of solution = 1g/cm3, c = 4.2J/g/k)

Acid A (2 mks)

Acid B (2 mks)

(c) Explain the difference in the values obtained in (b) above (2 mks)

(d) Draw an energy level diagram for the Molar enthalpy of neutralization of Acid A (2 mks)
 (e) Identify source of error in procedure II above given than the value you have obtained in (b) above
is less than the theoretical value (1 mk)
