BACKGROUND Thermodynamics is concerned with energy changes that occur in chemical and physical process es. The enthalpy and entropy changes of a system undergoing such processes are interrelate by the change in free energy, ?G, according to the equation ?G = ?H T ? S (1) This investigation focuses on the reaction Zn(S ) + CuSO4(aq) Y ZnSO4(aq) + Cu(S ) (2) ?G will be judged from the ? H and ? S values obtained electrochemically. The validity of Equation (1) will be tested by comparing the value of ? H obtained electrochemically with the value of ? H obtained calorimetrically for the alike reaction. The electrochemical method The electrochemical method offers simple and accurate mode for the determination of thermodynamic quantities. A simple electrochemical cubicle is constructed in a Chem-Carrou-Cell plate as shown in Figure 1.Cu(S )/CuSO4 (aq) Zn(S )/ZnSO4(aq) (3) Fi? G ure 1 Set-up for measuring stick E versus temperature. 1 The CCLI Initiative The overall galvanizing cell reaction is Zn(S ) + Cu2+ (aq) Y Zn2+(aq) + Cu(S ) and it is essentially the same as that taking place in the calorimeter. The amount of the electrical energy, F , produced or consumed during the electrochemical reaction is a aeonian postingd per mole of electrons, and smoke be accurately measurable. The free energy change, ? G , of an electrochemical reaction is related to the voltage, E, of the electrochemical cell by the equation (4) G where and = -nFE n (5) F = the number of moles of electrons transferred in a redox reaction. = Faradays constant of 96,500 C/mole of electrons . Combining equations (1) and (5), and dividing both sides by the constant n, we obtain a linear consanguinity between the voltage change, ? E, and the enthalpy and entropy changes at different temperatures E = IH + T ? S nF nF I (6) or E = IS (T) IH nF (7) nF By measuring the voltage E, of our electrochemical cell, at several temperatures, we fag obtain a plot of the voltage versus temperature. Assuming that ? H and ?S remain constant over a small temperature range, we can calculate the ? S and ? H from the slope and the intercept of the straight line separately slope = IS nF (8) and Y-intercept = IH nF (9) ?G can now be calculated by means of Equation (1). We can verify its value using Equation (5). Please note that in both cases, ? G mustiness be calculated for the same temperature. If the calculations are done for 298 K (25 C), we can also verify the data-based value of E for this temperature by employing the Nernst equation (7) E = E RT ln pr oducts nF reactants 2 (10)The CCLI Initiative where E is the measuring stick potential measured at 25 C and is 1. 100V for the cell under consideration. When the concentrations of the ZnSO4 and CuSO4 solutions are equal, the log term of the Nernst equation becomes zero. Under these conditions, the standard voltage, E, of the cell is equal to the measured voltage, E The calorimetric method The ideal calorimeter is a perfectly insulated vessel which contains a large known weight down of solution in perfect thermal contact with an accurate thermometer and a small reaction tube (Figure 2).When measured quantities of reactants are introduced into the reaction tube, the ignite of reaction changes the temperature of the calorimeter solution.

Any skin contacted by chemicals should be washed immediately. forrader PERFORMING THIS EXPERIMENT . . . ou will need a MicroLAB program capable of Part I measuring voltages and temperatures and displaying them in the Graphing , Digital Display and Spreadsheet views. Use delta. G . experiment supplied by your instructor. Part II assemblage temperature readings as a function of time and displaying them in the Graphing , Digital Display and Spreadsheet views. Use heat of event from the Time and Temperature tab in the MicroLAB opening window. EXPERIMENTAL PROCEDURES Part I Electrochemistry 1. Calibrate your Temperature probe at a minimum of three separate temperatures with ice-cold water and virulent tap water. . Fill a 600 ml beaker three-quarters full of ice. Fill the assuagement of the beaker with cold tap water until the beaker is filled to one cm from the top. Stir the ice/water mixture to distribute the ice evenly. 3. Place the beaker on a luscious plate dont turn the heat on yet Rest the Chem-Carrou-CellTM on top of the beaker so that the bottoms of the rise up of the Cell are immersed in the ice/water mixture. permit the set-up stand for 15 minutes until the temperature stabilizes. 4. pelt about 5 ml of 0. 1 M KNO3 into the center sound. Pour about 5 ml of 0. 0 M ZnSO4 into head 1 and about 5 ml of 0. 50 M CuSO4 into well 2. 5. With clean tweezers, take a s trip of filter paper and dip one polish off into the central well (where immersion in the KNO3 solution will hold one end) dip the another(prenominal) end into well 1. Repeat this procedure with another strip of filter paper, dipping the other end into well 2. This creates the salt bridge for your galvanic cell. 6. With clean tweezers take a zinc metal strip and linchpin it (on a piece of paper so as not to scratch the table top) to remove whatever oxide coating.Bend 2 cm of one end of the ? S trip and immerse it in the ZnSO4 solution (well 1). The rest of the metal strip (3cm) extends out to the edge of the cell and should be bent over the rim. Repeat the same procedure with the copper metal strip and place it in well 2. Later the electrical leads (alligator clips ) from the interface will be attached to the metal strips. 7. Fasten your temperature probe to the ring stand with a clamp and adjust the temperature probe such that its tip can be immersed in the central well (KNO3 solution) of the cell.I t is sham that the temperature of the ZnSO4 solution and CuSO4 solution will be very close to the temperature of the KNO3 solution throughout the experiment. 8. Start the ready reckoner program to monitor the temperature. 9. Read and record the temperature. Attach the alligator clips to the metal strips and take the voltage reading. If a negative number appears on the screen, reverse the wires. Disconnect the wires immediately after the reading is recorded. 10. Turn the hot plate onto high, Start the MicroLAB program, then the program will pause every five C to measure the voltage and temperature.When the Message window Attach probes , Press ENTER to take a reading, then chip off probes appears on the screen, connect the voltage leads to the 4 The CCLI Initiative appropriate metal tabs, make sure the voltage is stable, then press ENTER, and disconnect the voltage leads until the next reading is due. Prolonged connection of the wires will precedent electric current to flow throu gh the cell. This discharge will result in changes in concentrations of the solutions. Since the measured voltage depends on these concentrations, there will be an error in the voltage readings.Stop the program when the temperature reaches 40 C. Part II Calorimetry 1. Weigh a clean, dry 150 ml beaker on the top incumbrance balance, then add 50 ml of 0. 5 M CuSO4 solution. Weigh the beaker a second time to gear up the mass of the solution in the calorimeter. Nest the 150 ml beaker inside a four hundred and 600 ml beaker, thread the stirring rod and temperature probe through the Styrofoam lid and position the lid on the inner beaker. The temperature probe should be as deep into the solution as possible but without strain. Let the apparatus stand ? so that the components attain the same temperature.Using the top loading balance, tare the plastic deliberation boat, then weigh 0. 5 grams of zinc powder into a plastic weighing boat, noting the exact weight in your notes. Start the prog ram and plot temperature against time for several minutes. Add the zinc powder to the copper solution. Save the boat and any Zn suck to it for weighing at the end of the run. Stir exhaustively and watch the plot of temperature versus time until a well defined cooling trend is established. It is important that a rubber policeman be used continually to ensure that any residue produced (copper coated zinc powder) is broken up.Weigh the weighing boat on the analytical balance and obtain the amount of Zn added by difference, noting the exact weight in your notes. Print the graph of your data. From your plot of temperature vs. time, keep an eye on the initial and final temperatures and calculate the heat of reaction per mole of zinc. Compare this value with ? H obtained in Part I. DATA abbreviation Part I Electrochemistry 1. 2. 3. 4. Column B of the spreadsheet displays voltage values of the cell in volts.
