1. You are provided with the following:
0.5M sodium hydroxide solution A
2.0M Hydrochloric acid solution B
An unknown mass of sodium carbonate solid D
You are required to determine:
The mass of sodium carbonate
The molar heat of reaction of sodium carbonate and hydrochloric acid.
Procedure 1
Fill the burette with solution B. Transfer 50cm3 of 2.0M Hydrochloric acid, solution B into 100cm3 beaker. Measure
the temperature of the solution after every half minute and record the values in table 1 below. At exactly 2 ½
minutes, add all of solid D to the acid. Stir the mixture gently with a thermometer. Measure the temperature of the
mixture after every half- minute and record the values in Table 1.
Retain the mixture for use in procedure 2.

Temperature
(oC)
a) i) Plot a graph of temperature (y-axis) versus time (3mks)
Page 1 of 7
ii) Use your graph to determine the change in temperature T (1mk)
iii) Calculate the heat change for the reaction (assume that the density of the mixture is 1g/cm3 and the specific
heat capacity of the mixture is 4.2KJ-1K-1) (1mk)
Procedure 2
Rinse the burette thoroughly and fill it with sodium hydroxide solution A. Transfer the mixture retained in
procedure 1 into a 250cm3 volumetric flask. Add distilled water to the mark. Label this solution C. Using a
pipette filler and a pipette, transfer 25cm3 portions of solution C into a 250ml conical flask. Add 2-3 drops of
phenolphthalein indicator and titrate against sodium hydroxide solution A. Record your results in table 2. Repeat
the procedure to obtain two more readings to complete the table.

vi) The number of moles of Hydrochloric acid that reacted with solid D (1mk)
vii) The mass of sodium carbonate that reacted with solution B (1mk)
viii) The enthalpy of reaction between solid D and one mole of Hydrochloric acid i.e Molar heat of reaction
of sodium carbonate and Hydrochloric acid. (2mks)
