    06 - To Compare The Enthalpies of Solution of A Salt in Its Anhydrous and Hydrated States

    This experiment aims to compare the enthalpies of solution of anhydrous copper(II) sulfate and hydrated copper(II) sulfate-5H2O. Students measure the temperature change when each salt dissolves in water. Using the temperature change and mass of salt, they calculate the enthalpy of solution for each salt. The hydrated form requires less energy to dissolve due to its hydrated ions needing less energy to further hydrate in water compared to the anhydrous form which must first hydrate its ions.

    TITLE: Heat of Solution.

    AIM: To compare the enthalpies of solution of a salt in its anhydrous and hydrated states.

    INTRODUCTION/PRINCIPLE: When an ionic solid dissolves in water to form an aqueous


    solution, a temperature change is always observed. The enthalpy change of solution of a solute is
    the enthalpy change that occurs when one mole of the solute dissolves to form an infinitely dilute
    solution.

    APPARATUS/MATERIALS: 50mL measuring cylinder, watch glass, spatula, 250mL beaker,


    bottle brush, polystyrene cup, thermometer, balance, A – anhydrous copper(II) sulphate, B –
    copper(II) sulphate-5-H2O.

    PROCEDURE:
    1. Setup the apparatus as shown in the diagram below.
    2. Place 50mL of water into the cup and measure its temperature.
    3. Accurately weigh out about 1.6g of A on a clean, dry watch glass, and
    empty it into the cup of water.
    4. Stir gently with the thermometer until dissolution is complete.
    5. Note the maximum temperature change.
    6. Repeat step 2 to 5 using a fresh quantity of A.
    7. Repeat step 2 to 6, this time using about 2.5g of B in the place of A.
    QUESTIONS:
    1. What are possible sources of error in this experiment?
    2. Calculate the enthalpies of solution of the two forms of the salt using the
    format shown below. Assume that the densities and specific heat
    capacities of the solutions are the same as those of water, and that the
    salt and water were both at the same temperature initially.

    Mass of salt =m
    Mass of solution = density x volume of solution
    Temperature change =∆T
    Heat produced (Q) when mass
    m of salt dissolves in water = mass of solution x specific
    heat capacity x ∆T J

    Heat produced when 1 mole (RMM)


    of salt dissolves in water = Q x (RMM)/m J

    Enthalpy of solution of salt = Q x(RMM)/m kJ mol-1


    1000

    3. Express your results in the form of energy level diagrams.


    4. When these solids dissolve, the lattice breaks up and the hydrates ions
    diffuse throughout the solution. Can you explain the difference in the
    values of enthalpy of solution obtained for the two forms of the salt?
    (Remember that hydration energy is evolved when ions become
    hydrated and energy must be supplied to break up a crystal lattice.)
