 Solid A
 2M hydrochloric acid solution B
 0.1M Sodium hydroxide
You are required to determine the enthalpy change DH, for the reaction between
solid A and one mole of hydrochloric acid.
Procedure I
 Using a burette, place 20.0cm3 of 2M hydrochloric acid solution B into a
100ml plastic beaker.
 Measure the temperature of the solution after every half minute and record
the values in table I below.
 At exact 2 minute add all of solid A to the acid, stir the mixture gently with
the thermometer and measure the temperature of the mixture after every
half minute and record the values in table I. (Retain the mixture for use
in procedure II)

Fill the burette with sodium hydroxide upto 0.0 mark
 Transfer all the content of the 100ml beaker used in procedure I into 250ml
volumetric flask. Add distilled water upto the mark. Label it solution C
 Using a pipette, place 25cm3 of solution C into 250ml conical flask, add
two or three of phenolphthalein indicator and titrate against sodium
hydroxide.
 Record your results in table 2. Repeat the titration two more times and
complete the table below.
