1. You are provided with:
• Solid A, 0.3g, Magnesium metal
• Solution B, Hydrochloric acid
• Solution C, 0.15M sodium carbonate
• Methyl orange indicator
You are required to determine the:
• Enthalpy change,ΔH per mole, of the reaction between magnesium metal and excess
hydrochloric acid.
• Concentration in moles per litre of hydrochloric acid, solution B
Procedure I
i) Using a burette, measure 50.0cm3 of solution B and place it in a 100ml plastic beaker.
ii) Measure the temperature of solution B in the beaker after every 30 seconds and record it in
table I below.
iii) At the 90 th second, add all the solid A provided into the beaker, stir with the thermometer and
continues measuring and recording the temperature after every 30 seconds and complete table I.
Retain the mixture in the beaker for use in procedure II.
