Heat changes can be calculated from temperature changes If the same amount of heat is added to two different objects,
the ΔT will not be the same, as the average kinetic energy of the particles will not increase by the same amount.
Smaller number of particles will experience a larger temperature increase.
The increase in temperature when an object is heated will depend on:
- Mass of object- Heat added- Nature of substance

USING THE EQUATION q = mcΔT
No instrument measures heat directly
To measure enthalpy change we transfer the heat to a known mass of another substance or material, usually water
q (or ∆H) = mcΔT
7.3 MEASURING ENTHALPY CHANGES
q = enthalpy or heat change (J)
m = mass (in g) of solution in calorimeter (either directly or indirectly heated) this is also same as volume in cm3
ΔT = change in temp of the solution (K)
c = specific heat capacity of solution (4.18 Jg-1K-1)
∆H can easily be converted to a molar value by dividing it by the number of moles of reactant (Jmol-1)
Assumptions:
m is just the total mass of water usedThis is valid as the mass of water used is much greater than the mass of any of the other substances
C is just the specific heat capacity of water, ignoring the reactantsThis is valid as the specific heat capacity of water is much higher than most other substances, so they absorb very little of the heat

Calorimetry – Enthalpy of combustion
Calorimetry is used to measure the amount of heat released/absorbed in a reaction.
The reaction is used to heat some water, and the temperature change measured
If we know the mass of water used, the specific heat capacity of the water and the temperature change, we can calculate the heat change.
If we are being accurate, we should also take into account the heat capacity of the calorimeter itself as this also heats up.

CALCULATING ENTHALPY CHANGE OF COMBUSTION
STEP 1:
Calculate the heat lost or gained using q = mcΔTConvert Joules to kilojoules
STEP 2:
Calculate number of moles of one of fuel that caused the enthalpy change, from the mass that reacted use n = mass ÷ Molar mass
STEP 3:
Calculate ΔHc (in kJmol-1) using actual heat change (q in kJ) and number of moles of fuel that burned (n)
Use equation: ΔHc = q ÷ n

CALCULATING ENTHALPY CHANGE OF COMBUSTION
E.g. 1.16g of a fuel is burned in oxygen raising the temp of 100g of water from 295.3K to 357.8K. Mr of the fuel is 58. Calculate ΔHc
Step 1:
q = mcΔT = 100 x 4.18 x (357.8 – 295.3) = 26125J = 26.125kJ
Step 2:
n = mass ÷ Mr = 1.16 ÷ 58 = 0.02 moles of fuel
Step 3:
ΔHc = q ÷ n = 26.125 ÷ 0.02 = -1306 kJmol-1

The difference between the values can be accounted for by any of the following factors:
Not all the heat produced by the combustion reaction is transferred to the water. Some is needed to heat the calorimeter and some has passed to the surroundings.
The combustion is unlikely to be complete due to the limited oxygen available.
The experiment was not performed under standard conditions.

Balanced equation: NH4Cl (s) NH4+ (aq) + Cl- (aq)
Molar mass, M, of NH4Cl = 14 + (4 x 1) + 35.5 = 53.5 gmol-1

CALCULATING ENTHALPY CHANGE OF REACTION
7.3 MEASURING ENTHALPY CHANGES
Step 1:
q = mcΔT = 980 x 4.18 x (298-296) = 8192.8J = 8.1928kJ
Step 2:
n = mass ÷ molar mass = 30g ÷ 53.5gmol-1 = 0.5607 moles of NH4Cl
Step 3:
The balanced reaction involves 1 mole of NH4Cl, so:
ΔHr = (q ÷ n) x 1 = 8.1928 ÷ 0.5607 = 14.6 kJmol-1
Remember: IF temp increases need to add a minus to q value!

2. A calorimeter, containing 200g of water, was used to calculate ΔHc of pentane (C5H12) (Mr = 72). 0.5 g of pentane was burnt, increasing the water temp by 29K. a) calculate ΔHc; b) Suggest reasons why your value may be different to the value given in a data book
3. ΔHc of octane is -5512 kJmol-1, its Mr is 114. Some octane was burnt in a calorimeter with 300g of water. The temperature increase was 55K. Calculate the mass of propane burnt.

7.3 MEASURING ENTHALPY CHANGES
1. 0.05 mol of a compound dissolves in water, causing the temperature to increase from 298K to 301K. Total mass is 220g. Calculate the enthalpy change in kJmol-1. Assume c = 4.18 Jg-1K-1
q = mcΔT = 220 x 4.18 x (301 – 298) = 2758.8 J = 2.7588 KJ
ΔH = q ÷ n = 2.7588 ÷ 0.05 = -55.2 kJmol-1
REMEMBER: the minus symbol as temp went up!

q = mcΔT = 200 x 4.18 x 29 = 24244 J = 24.244 KJ
n = m ÷ Mr = 0.5g ÷ 72 = 0.00694 moles of fuel
ΔH = q ÷ n = 24.244 ÷ 0.00694 = -3490 kJmol-1
b) Some heat from combustion will be transferred to the surroundings and not the water. May not have been complete combustion. May not have been standard conditions. Inaccuracies in the measuring equipment

q = mcΔT = 300 x 4.18 x 55 = 68970 J = 68.97 KJ
ΔH = q ÷ n rearranges to n = q ÷ ΔH = 68.97 ÷ 5512 = 0.0125 mol
n = mass ÷ Mr rearranges to mass = n x Mr
= 0.0125 x 114= 1.43g octane

Calorimetry in Practice
In this experiment you will determine the enthalpy change for the reaction of magnesium with sulphuric acid.
To do this accurately, you will first need to determine the heat capacity of the calorimeter.
