The Chemical Solution Of M Hcl

Good Essays

EXPERIMENTAL Part A of this experiment was essential because it set up the chemical solutions needed for Part B and C, as well as the equipment that was used throughout the entire experiment. To start, a 300mL solution of 2M HCl was prepared with the stock solution of 6M HCl. For this, 200mL of deionized water was collected and added it to a 400mL beaker. Then, 100mL of 6M HCl was added to the water. Next, 150mL of 2M NaOH was prepped by 50mL deionized water combined with 100mL 3M NaOH in another 400mL beaker. Before the experiment began, the LabQuest was plugged in and turned on. The temperature probe was then plugged into channel one of the LabQuest. In order to fully set up the LabQuest, the interval was changed to 15 s/sample. Part B was responsible for the reaction of hydrochloric acid and ammonium hydroxide. The first of three sub-reactions were monitored when 2 Styrofoam cups were stacked together and placed in a 400mL beaker. The cups were filled with 50mL 2M HCl first while the initial temperature was recorded. After 3 or 4 readings, 2M NaOH was added in one smooth motion and stirred until the temperature reached a maximum or began to decrease. Once the data was collected, the mixture was disposed of and the equipment was rinsed and dried. Next, using the same method, the calorimeter was set up with 50mL 2M NaOH. After inserting the temperature probe and receiving 3 or 4 readings, 50mL 2M NH4Cl was poured in and the cup was stirred until the temperature reached a
