Unit 18: Industrial Chemical Reactions
A: Investigate chemical thermodynamic in order to understand spontaneous
reactions
Enthalpy and Entropy
Introduction:
In this investigation the aim was to carry out the following investigation to
demonstrate accurate measurement of enthalpy changes. The calculations of
different enthalpy changes were to be calculated in KJ per mole from the
temperature changes measured for. The practical’s were the dissolving of
anhydrous sodium carbonate in water, the dissolving of ammonium chloride
in water, the neutralisation of hydrochloric acid with sodium hydroxide and
the combustion of an alcohol.
