Classic AP Requirement #13—Determination of Enthalpy Change Associated with a Reaction

Students verify Hess’s Law in this experiment. Three acid–base reactions, chosen so that the third reaction equation equals the first reaction minus the second, are measured for temperature change by calorimetry. The values of heat change and enthalpy of reaction are calculated for each of the three reactions. The reaction results are then compared to verify Hess’s Law.

Complete for 24 students working in pairs.

Performance Expectations

HS-PS1-1. Use the periodic table as a model to predict the relative properties of elements based on the patterns of electrons in the outermost energy level of atoms.
HS-PS1-2. Construct and revise an explanation for the outcome of a simple chemical reaction based on the outermost electron states of atoms, trends in the periodic table, and knowledge of the patterns of chemical properties.
HS-PS1-7. Use mathematical representations to support the claim that atoms, and therefore mass, are conserved during a chemical reaction.
HS-PS3-1. Create a computational model to calculate the change in the energy of one component in a system when the change in energy of the other component(s) and energy flows in and out of the system are known.
