IB CHEMISTRY HL NOVEMBER 1998 PAPER 2 1. The reaction between an unknown strong base and an unknown strong acid was studied by measuring the heat produced during neutralisation. Volumes of a 1.25 mol dm–3 solution of the base ranging from 10.0 to 50.0 cm3 were mixed with the required volumes of a 1.25 mol dm–3 solution of the acid to produce a total volume of 60.0 cm3 and the change in temperature measured. The results are shown below. [pic] (a) Complete the graph and determine the volumes of base and acid that could produce the greatest temperature increase. base:38cm3 acid: 60-38=22cm3 [3] (b) Calculate the number of moles of base and the number of moles of acid in the volumes of base and acid in (a). n=v*c n of base=38*0.00125=0,0475 n of acid =22*0.00125=0.0275 [2] (c) Write a balanced equation to represent the reaction using a common acid and a common base that could produce the results in (a) and (b). NaOH(aq) + HCl (aq) → NaCl(aq) + H2O(l) [1] (d) Calculate the energy released in joules by the reaction when the maximum temperature was obtained on the graph. Q=mcdt Q=60g4.186(10) q=2511.6 [2] (e) Calculate the enthalpy of neutralisation (formation of one mole of water from one mole of H+ and one mole of OH–). q/0.0475 =52,8kjmol-1 [2] (f) The accepted value for the enthalpy of neutralisation is –55.5 kJ mol–1. Calculate the percentage error in the experimental value and suggest a reason for the discrepancy. 55.5-52.8/55.5)x100=4,8% [2] IB CHEMISTRY HL NOVEMBER 1999 PAPER 2 1. In order to determine the enthalpy change of reaction between zinc and copper(II) sulfate, a student placed 50.0 cm3 of 0.200 mol dm–3 copper(II)
