1.
Exothermic reaction is the chemical reaction that releases heat to the surrounding.
2.
When energy is given off during a chemical reaction, the temperature of the surrounding will increase.

Heat Of Reaction
1.
The Heat of Reaction is the heat absorbed in a reaction at standard state condition between the
numbers of moles of reactants shown in the equation for the reaction.
2.
3.
4.
If the reaction is exothernic, H shows a value of negative. If the reaction is endothernic, H shows a
value of positive.
5.
Heat of Precipitation
The heat of precipitation of a substance is the heat change when 1 mole of precipitate formed
from its solution of ion under standard state condition.
b.
Heat of Displacement
The Heat of Displacement of an element is the heat change when 1 mole of the element was
displaced from its compound under standard state condition.
c.
Heat of Neutralisation
Heat of neutralisation is the heat change when 1 mol of water is formed by the neutralisation of
hydrogen ions by hydroxide ions with measurements made under standard conditions.
d.
Heat of Combustion
The Heat of Combustion of a substance is the heat energy evolved when 1 mole of the substance
is completely burnt in oxygen.
Example:
In an experiment to find the heat of precipitation of magnesium carbonate, 25 cm of magnesium nitrate 2.0 mol/dm is added
into 25 cm of sodium carbonate solution, 2.0 mol dm in a container. The temperature of the solution decreases by 6C. What is
the heat of precipitation of magnesium carbonate? [Specific heat capacity of the solution = 4.2 Jg -1C-1, density of the solution =1
g/cm ]
Answer:
Step 1: Equation of the reaction
Mg(NO3)2 + Na2CO3 MgCO3 + 2NaNO3
Step 2:
Number of mole of Mg(NO3)2
n=MV1000=(2.0)(25)1000=0.05mol
n=MV1000=(2.0)(25)1000=0.05mol
Step 3
Amount of heat energy been released
= mc
= (25+25)(4.2)(6)
= 1260J
Step 4
Heat of precipitation of magnesium carbonate
Example:
NaOH(aq) + HNO3(aq) NaNO3(aq) + H2O(l)
H = -57 kJ mol-1
An experiment is carried out by adding 25cm of sodium hydroxide 0.5 mol/dm into 25 cm of dilute nitric acid 0.5 mol/dm.
Calculate the temperature change of the mixture. [Specific heat capacity of the solution = = 4.2 Jg -1C-1, density of the solution
=1 g/cm ]
Answer:
Number of mole of NaOH,
n=MV1000n=(0.5)(25)1000=0.0125mol
Number of mole of HNO3,
n=MV1000n=(0.5)(25)1000=0.0125mol
Number of mole of water produced = 0.0125mol
Amount of heat released, Q = 0.0125 x 57,000J = 712.5J
Mass of the solution, m = 25 + 25 = 50 cm
Specific heat capacity of the solution = 4.2 Jg-1C-1
Q = mc
712.5 = 50(4.2)
= 3.4
Example:
A student pours 50cm hydrochloric acid, 2 mol/dm into a plastic beaker, and records its temperature. Some zinc powder
(excess) is added into the acid. The solution is stirred by using a glass rod, and the highest temperature that reach by the
mixture is recorded.
Neutralisation Between Strong Acid And Strong Alkali Vs Weak Acid And
Strong Alkali
1.
Table below shows comparison of the heat of neutralisation of the reaction between "strong acid and strong alkali" and
"weak acid and strong alkali".
H = -57kJ mol-1
H = -55kJ mol-1
H = -57kJ mol
H = -12kJ mol-1
-1
2.
The heat of neutralisation between strong acid and strong alkali is almost the same (-57kJ mol -1 ) for all acid and all
alkali.
2.
Nevertheless, the heat of neutralisation between weak acid and strong alkali is always less than -57kJ mol -1.
2.
2.
During the reaction of neutralisation, the acid molecules will be decomposed to form hydrogen ions and react with the
hydroxide ions from alkali.
2.
Part of the heat released during the formation of water molecule is used to decompose the acid to form hydrogen ion.
Example 1:
When 50 cm of dilute hydrochloric acid 2 mol/dm is added into 50 cm of potassium hydroxide 2 mol/dm, the temperature
increase 13C. What is the temperature increase if 300 cm of dilute hydrochloric acid 2 mol/dm is added into 300 cm of
potassium hydroxide solution 2 mol/dm ?
Answer:
The volume of the reactants are increases by 6 times (300/50) whereas the concentration of the solution remain unchanged.
Therefore the change of the temperature remain the same.
Temperature increase = 13C
