Skill P - Planning * The aim of this practical experiment is to determine the enthalpy change for this reaction by an indirect method based on Hess's Law. Both Calcium Oxide and Calcium Carbonate react readily with 2 mol dm Hydrochloric Acid solutions. The temperature changes during these reactions can be measured and the enthalpy changes calculated. * Chemicals and apparatus: * 250 cm measuring cylinder * 2 mol dm Hydrochloric Acid * 250 cm beaker * 0 - 10 0° C thermometer (graduations to 1° C ) * 2.4 - 2.6 g of Calcium Carbonate * 1.3 - 1.5 g of Calcium Oxide * Procedure 1. Weigh out a weighing bottle containing between 2.4 and 2.6 g of Calcium Carbonate 2. Weigh out a weighing bottle containing between 1.3 - 1.5 g of Calcium Oxide 3. Using the measuring cylinder provided place 50 cm3 of 2 mol dm-3 hydrochloric...
