Estimating a Heat of Neutralizationprepared by M. L. Gillette, Indiana University Kokomo,H. A. Neidig, Lebanon Valley College, and J. N. Spencer, Franklin and Marshall College
Purpose of the Experiment
Estimate the heat of neutralization for the reaction of sodium hydroxide withhydrochloric acid.
Background Required
You should be familiar with basic laboratory techniques for measuring the vol-ume and temperature of solutions, with the concepts associated withstoichiometry and thermochemistry, and with graphing procedures.
Background Information
Consider the neutralization of hydrochloric acid (HCl) with sodium hydroxide(NaOH) solutions as shown in Equation 1.
HCl (aq) + NaOH (aq) H2O ( l ) + NaCl (aq) (Eq. 1)
Neutralization reactions are exothermic; that is, energy is released in the form ofheat. The heat of neutralization (Hneut) is the heat transferred when one moleof acid reacts with one mole of base. This heat is generally reported in either kilo-joules per mole (kJ/mol) or kilocalories per mole (kcal/mol).
Example
Problem Determine the Hneut for the reaction of nitric acid (HNO3) with NaOH solution.
HNO3 (aq) + NaOH (aq) NaNO3 (aq) + H2O ( l ) (Eq. 2)
Before mixing 50 mL of 1.0M HNO3 and 51 mL of 1.0M NaOH, the temperature ofthe reactants was 23.1 C. After mixing, the temperature of the reaction mixturewas 29.4 C. The specific heat capacity of the reaction mixture is 3.89 J/g C andthe density is 1.04 g/mL.
Solution (1) Calculate the temperature change for the reaction.
T = Tfinal Tinitial = 29.4 C 23.1 C = 6.3 C (Eq. 3)

Caution: Wear departmentally approved safety goggles while doing this experiment.Always use caution in the laboratory. Many chemicals are potentially harmful. Prevent
contact with your eyes, skin, and clothing. Avoid ingesting any of the reagents.

I. Obtaining the Reactants
1. Label a dry 100-mL graduated cylinder acid. Measure 50.0 mL of 2M HClinto the cylinder. Pour all of the acid into a dry, 8-oz pressed polystyrene cup.
2. Label a dry 100-mL graduated cylinder base. Measure 51.0 mL of 2M NaOHinto the cylinder. Pour all of the base into a dry 150-mL beaker.
II. Positioning the Equipment
3. Place a split rubber stopper on the upper end of a thermometer. Suspend thethermometer by clamping the stopper to a ring stand, as shown in Figure 1.
4. Immerse the end of the thermometer in the HCl solution in the cup (see Fig-ure 1). Position the thermometer so that it does not touch the sides or bottom ofthe cup, making sure that you can read the temperature markings between 20and 35 C.
5. Following the procedure described in Step 4, suspend a second thermometerin the NaOH solution in the beaker.

III. Making Pre-Mixing Temperature Measurements
Note: If the thermometers are calibrated in 1 C increments, read the temperatureto the nearest degree, and estimate the temperature to the nearest 0.5 C.
If the thermometers are calibrated in 0.1 C increments, read the temperature tothe nearest 0.1 C, and estimate the temperature to the nearest 0.05 C.
6. Use the temperature at time 0.0 min as the initial entry for the NaOH solu-tion. Take the initial reading of the HCl solution after 30 s. Alternately read thetemperatures of the two solutions every 30 s over a 5-min period. Record alltimes and temperatures in the determination 1 column of your Data and Obser-vations sheet. If you are working with a partner, one of you can read the temper-atures while the other records the data.
IV. Mixing the Reactants and Making Post-MixingTemperature Measurements
7. After 5 min, quickly pour the NaOH solution, with stirring, into the HCl solu-tion in the polystyrene cup.
Continue to stir the mixture at a constant rate. Measure temperaturetimedata for the reaction mixture 30 s after mixing, then at 1-min intervals for 10 min.Record all times and temperatures.
8. Discard the reaction mixture, following the directions of your laboratory in-structor.
9. Do a second determination following the procedure of Steps 18. Yourlaboratory instructor might ask you to use a clean, dry polystyrene cup for eachdetermination. Record your data in the determination 2 column.

Calculations and ConclusionsShow your calculations in the space provided. Remember to include units with all calculated results.
1. Plot the temperature vs elapsed time as shown in Figure 2.
To determine T, draw a vertical line of mixing (See Figure 3). Then, draw the best straight lines through the datapoints for each solution taken prior to mixing. Then draw the best straight line through the post-mixing data, ig-noring the first two or three post-mixing data points. Extrapolate each of these lines to the line of mixing.

2. Find the temperature change (T ) for each determination. The average initial temperature (Tinitial) ofthe reactant solutions is the average of these solutions temperatures at the intersection of the extrapolatedlines and the line of mixing. The final temperature (Tfinal) is the intersection of the extrapolatedpost-mixing line and the line of mixing.
