Evaluating salts for use in Hot-Packs or Cold-Packs based on Enthalpy of Solution Lab Jing Maniaci 31 st October 2023 Results Data Table I: Temperature Change on Solution Formation Salt 1: NH 4 NO 3 Salt 2: CaCl 2 Salt 1 Trial 1 Trial 2 Trial 3 Mass of Calorimeter, g 26.69 27.01 27.89 Mass of Salt, g 2.05 2.65 2.37 Mass of calorimeter + solution, g 126.93 127.69 126.88 Mass of Solution, g 100.24 100.68 98.99 T water , o C 21.7 21.5 21.4 T solution , o C 20.3 20.7 19.9 Change in temperature, ΔT, o C -1.4 -0.8 -1.5 Salt 2 Trial 1 Trial 2 Trial 3 Mass of Calorimeter, g 27.50 27.50 27.40 Mass of Salt, g 2.36 2.27 2.40 Mass of calorimeter + solution, g 127.51 127.30 128.0 Mass of Solution, g 100.01 99.8 100.6 T water , o C 21.5 22.2 21.8 T solution , o C 22.7 23.7 24.4 Change in temperature, ΔT, o C 1.2 1.5 2.6 Data Table II: Determining the Most Effective Hot-Pack and Cold-Pack

Heat absorbed or released by the solution: q sol = m soln x Cs x ΔT m soln : (100.01 + 99.8 + 100.6)/3 = 100.14g Cs: 4.184 J/g.K ΔT: 1.8 o C Q sol : 100.14 g x 4.184 J/g.K x 1.8 o C = 754.17 J Heat absorbed or released by the reaction: Q rxn = -q sol Q rxn = -754.17 J Enthalpy of solution formation: ΔH o rxn = q rxn /n: n: 2.34/110.98 = 0.0211 ΔH o rxn : -0.75417/0.0211 = -35.74 kJ/mol q per gram of salt: qrxn / mass of salt: = -754.17/2.34 = -322.29 J/g Conclusions In this lab, the calculated enthalpy of the solution for the assigned salts was 17.43 kJ/mol for NH 4 NO 3 and -35.05 kJ/mol for CaCl 2 . The q per gram for each salt came out to be 217.98 J/g for NH 4 NO 3 and -315.87 J/g. The salt that would best be used for a cold pack is NH 4 NO 3 . The reason for this is that the enthalpy is positive and endergonic. Heat is being absorbed into the solution. On the other hand, the salt that would best be used as a heat pack is CaCl 2 . The enthalpy for this salt was negative making it exergonic and heat is being released making it a good heat pack. Overall, this experiment went smoothly, and the results found in the lab are important as they let us know which salt we should use for a cold pack vs a hot pack. Different salts give out different enthalpies and if you know how to calculate it you can figure out which is the best hot
