A student recorded the temperature of 20.0 cm$^3$ of 0.500 mold m$^{-3}$ sulfuric acid every minute. At four minutes,25.0cm$^3$ KOH(aq) is added to the solution, stirred immediately, and temperature recorded for another four minutes. The results are represented in the graph below.
1.Calculate the lowest concentration of aqueous KOH that must be used to ensure it is in excess.
n$_{KOH}$=
mol;C$_{KOH}$=
mold m$^{-3}$
2.Use the graph above to estimate a value for the maximum temperature change, ΔT.
ΔT=
°C
3.State one assumption you made in part (b).
4.Identify the anomalous result and suggest a possible type and source of error.
5.In another experiment with the same reactants, the student measured the initial and final temperatures and presented their results below:
Initial Temperature (°C ± 0.1°C) 24.8 25.1 24.9
Final Temperature (°C ± 0.1°C) 26.4 26.6 26.4
5.1.Calculate the average change in temperature (ΔT) giving its percentage uncertainty.
Average=
°C
5.2.Use sections 1 and 2 of the data booklet to calculate the energy released and its uncertainty. You may assume that the only source of uncertainty is from the temperature change.
