The reaction between an acid and an alkali is exothermic. You will carry out a neutralisation experiment to determine the enthalpy change involved. You will mix different volumes of an acid with a fixed volume of an alkali and measure the temperature rises that occur. FB 4 is aqueous sodium hydroxide, NaOH . FB 5 is $$\(2.00 \mathrm{~mol} \mathrm{dm}^{-3}\)$$ hydrochloric acid, HCl . (c)Calculations (i)Calculate the amount,in mol,of hydrochloric acid in the volume of FB $$\(\mathbf{5}\)$$ in(b)(ii). (If you were unable to determine an answer to(b)(ii),use $$\(5.10 \mathrm{~cm}^{3}\)$$ as the volume of FB 5.This may not be the correct answer.) amount of $$\(\mathrm{HCl}=\)$$ mol Deduce the amount,in mol,of sodium hydroxide in $$\(10.0 \mathrm{~cm}^{3}\)$$ of FB 4. amount of $$\(\mathrm{NaOH}=\)$$ mol [1] (ii)Calculate the energy change,in J ,when the amounts of reagents in(c)(i)neutralise each other.Show your working. energy change= J [1] (iii)Use your answer to(c)(ii)to calculate the enthalpy change,in $$\(\mathrm{kJ} \mathrm{mol}^{-1}\)$$ ,when one mole of FB 4 is neutralised by one mole of FB 5. enthalpy change= $$\(\mathrm{kJ} \mathrm{mol}^{-1}\)$$ [1] sign value [Total:12] For each test you should record all your observations in the spaces provided. Examples of observations include: - colour changes seen - the formation of any precipitate and its solubility (where appropriate) in an excess of the reagent added - the formation of any gas and its identification (where appropriate) by a suitable test. You should record clearly at what stage in a test an observation is made. Where no change is observed, you should write 'no change'. Where reagents are selected for use in a test, the name or correct formula of the element or compound must be given. If any solution is warmed, a boiling tube must be used. If a solid is heated, a hard-glass test-tube must be used. Rinse and reuse test-tubes and boiling tubes where possible. No additional tests should be attempted.

Knowledge points:
2.2.1 define and use the term mole in terms of the Avogadro constant
2.4.1.1 reacting masses (from formulae and equations) including percentage yield calculations
2.4.1.2 volumes of gases (e.g. in the burning of hydrocarbons)
