PMT 3 A titration was carried out in order to investigate the neutralization reaction shown below. HCl(aq) + NaOH(aq) (cid:111) NaCl(aq) + H2O(l) Procedure 1. Using a pipette, transfer 50.0 cm3 of sodium hydroxide solution, concentration 1.00 mol dm3, to a polystyrene cup. Allow to stand for a few minutes. 2. Record the temperature of the solution. 3. From a burette, add 5.00 cm3 of dilute hydrochloric acid to the solution in the cup. 4. Stir the mixture with the thermometer and record the temperature. 5. Add successive 5.00 cm3 portions of hydrochloric acid, stirring the mixture and recording the temperature after each addition. 6. Continue adding hydrochloric acid until a total of 50.00 cm3 of the acid has been added. Results Volume of HCl(aq) added / cm3 0.00 5.00 10.00 15.00 20.00 25.00 30.00 35.00 40.00 45.00 50.00 Temperature / C 22.2 23.7 25.1 26.6 28.0 29.5 29.2 28.4 27.6 26.8 26.0 A graph of the temperature (y-axis) against the volume of hydrochloric acid added (x-axis) enables the maximum temperature rise and the volume of acid required for neutralization to be determined. From this information it is possible to calculate (cid:3) (cid:3) (cid:120)(cid:3) (cid:120)(cid:3) the concentration of the hydrochloric acid the enthalpy change for the reaction. *P37682A0416*<br />
 (a) (i) Plot a graph of temperature against volume of acid added on the axes below. Draw two straight lines on your graph and extrapolate the lines until they intersect. (2) PMT 323028Temperature / (cid:113)C 262422200 10 20 30 40 50 Volume of HCl(aq) / cm3 (ii) Use the extrapolated lines on your graph to read off the maximum temperature reached in the neutralization reaction. (2) Maximum temperature(cid:113)C (iii) The point at which the two extrapolated lines meet corresponds to the volume of hydrochloric acid required for neutralization. Read off this volume from your graph. (1) Volume of hydrochloric acidcm3 *P37682A0516* Turn over<br />
 (iv) Calculate the number of moles of sodium hydroxide in 50.0 cm3 of a 1.00 mol dm3 solution. (v) HCl(aq) + NaOH(aq) (cid:111) NaCl(aq) + H2O(l) Use this equation and your answers to (iii) and (iv) to calculate the concentration of the hydrochloric acid in mol dm3. (b) (i) Use your graph and answer to (a)(ii) to calculate the maximum temperature change, (cid:507)T, for the reaction. (cid:507)T =C PMT (1) (2) (1) *P37682A0616*<br />
 (ii) Use your value for the temperature rise, (cid:507)T, to calculate the heat energy produced when 50.0 cm3 of sodium hydroxide is exactly neutralized by the volume of hydrochloric acid you obtained in (a)(iii). Use the expression energy = total mass ofspecific heat capacity produced (J) solution of solution rise temperature[Assume the specific heat capacity of the solution to be 4.2 J g1 C1 and the density of the solution to be 1.0 g cm3] (iii) Use your answers to (a)(iv) and (b)(ii) to calculate the enthalpy change, in kJ mol1, for this reaction. Give your answer to two significant figures and include a sign. PMT (2) (3) (cid:507)H =kJ mol1 (Total for Question 3 = 14 marks) *P37682A0716* Turn over<br />
