II. P ROCEDURE
1) Weigh in empty boat (Zeroing with the boat on the scales
to get only the mass of Zn)
2) Weigh accurately between 2.90g and 3.00g of Zinc
3) Place 0.025dm3 CuSO4 solution into the polystyrene cup
4) Start the stopwatch and record the temperature of the
solution every half minute for 2m30s
5) Add Zn at exactly 3 seconds and stir mixture thoroughly
6) Record temperature every 30 seconds from 3m30s to
10m00s

So letting time be x and temperature be y:
y = 0.0186x + 52.8222
Calculated using the standard:
y = a + bx
nxy xy
b=
nx2 (x)2
y bx
n
To work out the value at time=180 we simply sub in x = 180
a=
y = 0.0186(180) + 52.8222
y = 49.4742
so now we can see
T = 49.4742 23.0
T = 26.4742
The specific heat capacity of the solution is 4.18 J cm3 . So
now need to work out H
H = mcT
H = (25)(4.18)(26.4742)
H = 2766.5539 mol1
now to work out r H we simply need to divide H by
nCuSO4 (and make the sign minus due to the exothermic
nature of the reaction)
3110.7185
= r H = 155302.9705
0.02003
Finally what I worked out is the enthalpy for the displacement
of copper sulfate and zinc is r H = 155.3030 kJ mol1 .
