7.3 MEASURING ENTHALPY CHANGES
HEAT & TEMPERATURE - What is the difference?
Temperature• Average kinetic energy of the particles• Independent of the number of particles
Heat• Total energy of all particles• Energy of every particle is included• Dependent on the number of particles• Heat always flows from high low temp
Q: What has more heat, luke warm swimming pool or a red hot nail? Why?
7.3 MEASURING ENTHALPY CHANGES
Main Menu
Heat changes can be calculated from temperature changes If the same amount of heat is added to two different objects,
the ΔT will not be the same, as the average kinetic energy of the particles will not increase by the same amount.
Smaller number of particles will experience a larger temperature increase.
The increase in temperature when an object is heated will depend on:
- Mass of object- Heat added- Nature of substance
Main Menu
Specific heat capacity, C The specific heat capacity of a substance is
the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of one gram (g) by one Kelvin (K).
Specific heat capacity is different for different substances:
Substance Specific Heat CapacityJ g-1K-1
Water 4.18
Ethanol 2.44
Air 1.00
Iron 0.450
Copper 0.385
DIFFERENT TYPES OF ΔH
Standard enthalpy change of reaction (ΔHr)
Enthalpy change when a reaction occurs in the molar quantities shown in the balanced chemical equation under standard conditions
Standard enthalpy change of formation (ΔHf)
Enthalpy change when 1 mole of a compound is formed from its elements in their standard states under standard conditions
e.g. 2C (s) + 3H2 (g) + ½O2 (g) C2H5OH (l)
Standard enthalpy change of combustion (ΔHc)
Enthalpy change when 1 mole of a substance is completely burned in oxygen under standard conditions in standard states
7.3 MEASURING ENTHALPY CHANGES
USING THE EQUATION q = mcΔT
No instrument measures heat directly
To measure enthalpy change we transfer the heat to a known mass of another substance or material, usually water
q (or ∆H) = mcΔT
7.3 MEASURING ENTHALPY CHANGES
q = enthalpy or heat change (J)
m = mass (in g) of solution in calorimeter (either directly or indirectly heated) this is also same as volume in cm3
ΔT = change in temp of the solution (K)
c = specific heat capacity of solution (4.18 Jg-1K-1)
∆H can easily be converted to a molar value by dividing it by the number of moles of reactant (Jmol-1)
Assumptions:
m is just the total mass of water usedThis is valid as the mass of water used is much greater than the mass of any of the other substances
C is just the specific heat capacity of water, ignoring the reactantsThis is valid as the specific heat capacity of water is much higher than most other substances, so they absorb very little of the heat
Main Menu
Relationship between different objects
Use heat capacity (c) Defined as the heat needed to increase the temperature of
an object by 1K.
A swimming pool has a larger heat capacity than a kettle.
Note the different between specific heat capacity and heat capacity!

Enthalpy changes and the direction of change
An exothermic reaction can be compared to a person falling off a ladder. Both changes lead to a decrease in stored energy.
Products are more stable than the reactants.
• However, stability is relative. E.g. Hydrogen peroxide is stable compared to its elements but unstable compared to its decomposition products water and oxygen…

Falling up the ladder… We do not expect a person to fall up a ladder
but endothermic reactions do occur…
Endothermic reactions are less common and occur when there is an increase in disorder of the system, e.g. owing to a formation of a gas…
HOW CAN WE CALCULATE ENTHALPY CHANGES?
7.3 MEASURING ENTHALPY CHANGES
Simple calorimeters Bomb calorimeter
There are two ways of measuring enthalpy changes:
• Measuring enthalpy changes of combustion
• Measuring enthalpy changes of reaction
KEY IDEASSpecific heat capacity (c) – the amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of 1g of substance by 1K. For water and solutions it is 4.2 Jg-1K-1
KEY IDEASTwo step calculations.1)Work out the energy transferred2)Work out the energy supplied per mole.

Calorimetry – Enthalpy of combustion
Calorimetry is used to measure the amount of heat released/absorbed in a reaction.
The reaction is used to heat some water, and the temperature change measured
If we know the mass of water used, the specific heat capacity of the water and the temperature change, we can calculate the heat change.
If we are being accurate, we should also take into account the heat capacity of the calorimeter itself as this also heats up.

CALCULATING ENTHALPY CHANGE OF COMBUSTION
STEP 1:
Calculate the heat lost or gained using q = mcΔTConvert Joules to kilojoules
STEP 2:
Calculate number of moles of one of fuel that caused the enthalpy change, from the mass that reacted use n = mass ÷ Molar mass
STEP 3:
Calculate ΔHc (in kJmol-1) using actual heat change (q in kJ) and number of moles of fuel that burned (n)
Use equation: ΔHc = q ÷ n
CALCULATING ENTHALPY CHANGE OF COMBUSTION
E.g. 1.16g of a fuel is burned in oxygen raising the temp of 100g of water from 295.3K to 357.8K. Mr of the fuel is 58. Calculate ΔHc
Step 1:
q = mcΔT = 100 x 4.18 x (357.8 – 295.3) = 26125J = 26.125kJ
Step 2:
n = mass ÷ Mr = 1.16 ÷ 58 = 0.02 moles of fuel
Step 3:
ΔHc = q ÷ n = 26.125 ÷ 0.02 = -1306 kJmol-1

The IB data booklet value is -1367 kJ/mol…
Can you think of 3 reasons why the experimental value is less than the literature value?
Main Menu
The difference between the values can be accounted for by any of the following factors:
Not all the heat produced by the combustion reaction is transferred to the water. Some is needed to heat the calorimeter and some has passed to the surroundings.
The combustion is unlikely to be complete due to the limited oxygen available.
The experiment was not performed under standard conditions.

Enthalpy changes are determined by simple calorimetry experiments.
Known volumes, masses (m) and concentrations are used. The initial (pre-reaction) temperature is taken (t1
OC). The reaction is allowed to proceed and then the final temperature is recorded (t2
OC).
Overall temperature change ΔT is t2OC- t1

STEP 1:
Calculate the heat lost or gained using q = mcΔTConvert Joules to kilojoules
STEP 2:
Calculate number of moles (n) of one of the reactants that caused the enthalpy change, from the mass that reacted use n = mass ÷ molar mass OR n = (concn x volume) ÷ 1000

equation
CALCULATING ENTHALPY CHANGE OF REACTION
7.3 MEASURING ENTHALPY CHANGES
E.g. 30g of ammonium chloride (NH4Cl) is dissolved in water. Temperature decreases from 298K 296K. Total mass of the solution was 980g. Calculate the standard enthalpy change of reaction
Balanced equation: NH4Cl (s) NH4+ (aq) + Cl- (aq)
Molar mass, M, of NH4Cl = 14 + (4 x 1) + 35.5 = 53.5 gmol-1
CALCULATING ENTHALPY CHANGE OF REACTION
7.3 MEASURING ENTHALPY CHANGES
Step 1:
q = mcΔT = 980 x 4.18 x (298-296) = 8192.8J = 8.1928kJ
Step 2:
n = mass ÷ molar mass = 30g ÷ 53.5gmol-1 = 0.5607 moles of NH4Cl
Step 3:
The balanced reaction involves 1 mole of NH4Cl, so:
ΔHr = (q ÷ n) x 1 = 8.1928 ÷ 0.5607 = 14.6 kJmol-1
Remember: IF temp increases need to add a minus to q value!

Another example
When 200 cm3 of 1.00 mol dm-3 sodium hydroxide solution was added to 200 cm3 of a 0.400 mol dm-3 solution of sulphuric acid, the temperature rose from 24.5oC to 30.0oC and a neutral solution was obtained. Determine the enthalpy change when one mole of sulphuric acid is fully neutralised by sodium hydroxide.
Determine ∆H: ∆H = -m.C∆.T ∆H = -(200+200) x 4.18 x (30.0-24.5) = -9,196 J
Determine n(H2SO4): n(H2SO4) = conc. x vol. = 0.400 x (200/1000) = 0.0800 mol
Determine Molar ∆H: Molar ∆H = ∆H / n(H2SO4) = -9196 / 0.0800 = 114950 J = -115 kJ mol-1

Sources of error and assumptions for measuring enthalpy in a polystyrene cup
Heat is lost from the system as soon as the temperature rises above the temperature of the surroundings (around 20oC)
Maximum recorded temperature is lower than the true value obtained in a perfectly insulated system.
Excess zinc powder is added to a calorimeter of a known volume of copper sulphate solution
We can make allowances for heat loss by extrapolating the cooling line back to when the reaction started…
Main Menu
To proceed with our calculations we have made the following assumptions…
1. No heat loss from the system2. All heat goes from reaction to the water3. The solution is dilute: V(CuSO4) = V(H2O)
4. Water has a density of 1.00gcm-3
