Abstract: We conducted this experiment to work on enthaply and calculating deltaT. The problem that ws address to us was that can we dissovle a .2g of Mg in HCL. We had a calorimeter and HCL and Mg and a temperature prob. The major results that we found in this experiment is that when you out a .2g of Mg in 50 ml of HCL it raises that temp and it will dissolve in about 3mins The overall conclusion is that we found the missing temperature and the mass of the Mg we needed.
Saftey Considerationsb: The saftey considerations that we took was wearing saftey glasses and carfully pouring the HCL in the caloirmeter. Cleaning the table after we were done and cleaning the utensalls that we used.
Materials:
-
Saftey glasses
-
one Calorieter
-
50ml of HCL
-
.2g of Mg ribbon
-
Spark temperature prob
-
rubber gloves
- graduated cylinder
Procedure: We first got one caloirmeter rinse it with distilled water, then obtained 50ml of HCL in a graduated cylinder. We recorded that mass of the empty calorimeter and record that mass of the colrimeter with the HCL in it. Record the temperature of the HCL in the calorimeter. Measure out .2g of Mg, record the mass. Roll up the Mg into a loose ball then place it in the colarimeter. Record the temperature every 15 seconds until you can not hear the gas anymore. rinse the prob of and dispose of the liquid in it proper place, then clean the table.
Evidence Collected:
caloirmeter mass: 26.90g
calorimeter + HCL 76.45g
HCL Temperature: 24.5 C
Magniseum Ribbon: .2g
00:15 - 26.8 C
00:30 - 29.8 C
00:45 - 31.1 C
1:00 - 32.5 C
1:15 - 37.4 C
1:30 -39.3 C
1:45 - 40.8 C
2:00 - 41.5 C
2:15 - 41.8 C
2:30 - 41.8 C
2:45 - 41.8 C
3:00 - 41.8 C
1) 2HCl + Mg = MgCl(2) + H(2)
2) Q= m x deltaT x C
= 49.55 x 15 x 4.2
= 3121.65 J
3) 3121.65 x 1 kJ/1000 J = 3.12165 kJ
4) .2g x 1 mol/24.3050g = .00822876
5) 3.12165 kJ/.00822876 = 379.35 kJ/mol
6) delta H = (-801.15)+0 - 2(-167.2)+0
= -466.75 kJ
7) 379.35 - (466.75)/(466.75) x 100
= -18.72522 % error
Claim: The claim that we found was the temperature that Mg makes is 41.6 C and does the Mg dissolve all the way.
Scientific Explanation: What i learned form this experiment is the temperature and the number of Joules that takes to dissolve that Mg in HCl. I learned more exquatiuons to solve the questions that we were assigned. i also found my percent error that i had after the experiment.
