Enthalpy changes of solution Design Equipment list For this experiment following equipment was used: 1. Eye protection 2.Measuring cylinder (0-100 ml) 3.Electronic thermometer ( Celsius ) 4.Beaker (0-250 ml) 5. Electronic weights 6. plastic cup 7. Plastic spoon 8. magnetic stirrer Uncertainties of equipment 1. Temperature uncertainty = +-0.05 C*( Electronic thermometer ) 2. Volume uncertainty = +-0.1 ml (Measuring cylinder and Beaker) 3. Mass uncertainty = +-0.1 gram (sodium thiosulphate ) Chemicals During the enthalpy change of solution given chemicals were used 1. Sodium thiosulphate - Na2S2O3·5H2O 2. Water - H2O Procedure 1.Take all your equipment for this experiment. 2. Weigh 12.4 grams of sodium thiosulphate by using plastic cup and electronic weights. 3. Measure 50 ml of water by the measuring cylinder and pour it into the beaker. 4. Then measure the initial temperature of water by electronic thermometer. 5. Put this beaker on the magnetic stirrer. 6. Turn on the magnetic stirrer. 7. Add 12.4 grams of sodium thiosulphate into the beaker . 8. Measure out the final temperature of solution by the electronic thermometer. 9.Collect the raw data. 10. Repeat this procedure two more times. Data and data processing Quantative data | Temperature initial ( C*) | Temperature final ( C*) | Change of temperature ( C*) | Solution 1 | 21.1 | 12.4 | 8.7 | Solution 2 | 21.3 | 12.6 | 8.7 | Solution 3 | 21.4 | 12.4 | 9 | Average | 21.26 | 12.46 | 8.8 | Solution components Water = 50 ml Sodium thiosulphate = 12.4 grams Qualitative data | Water | Sodium thiosulphate | Solution | Consistency | Liquid | Powder ( solid ) | Liquid | Color | No color | White | No color | Smell | No smell | No smell | No smell | Reactions | - | - | Endothermic reaction | Using heat=m*c*ΔT Average data Q= 50 * 4.2*8.8= 1848
