What type of reaction is being investigated in this practical?
Exothermic
reaction
View source
What two substances are involved in the neutralization reaction?
Hydrochloric
acid and sodium
hydroxide
View source
What is the independent variable in this experiment?
Volume
of sodium hydroxide solution
View source
What is the dependent variable in this experiment?
Maximum
temperature reached
View source
What are the control variables in this experiment?
Volume
and concentrations of acids and bases
View source
How do you measure the hydrochloric acid for the experiment?
Using a measuring
cylinder
to measure
30
cm³
View source
Why is the polystyrene cup used in the experiment?
To
reduce
heat
loss
during the reaction
View source
What should be done after adding sodium hydroxide to the acid?
Stir the solution gently with a
thermometer
View source
What happens to the temperature during an exothermic reaction?
The temperature of the solution
increases
View source
Why does the maximum temperature decrease after a certain volume of sodium hydroxide?
Not enough
hydrochloric
acid to react
View source
What is the effect of adding more sodium hydroxide particles?
More
energy
is released,
increasing
temperature
View source
How do you calculate the mean value for maximum temperature?
By
averaging
the results from multiple trials
View source
What should you do with the results at the end of the experiment?
Plot a
graph
of the results
View source
What does the sample graph show about sodium hydroxide volume and temperature?
Temperature
increases
with
more
sodium hydroxide
View source
Why is it important to use a lid on the polystyrene cup?
To
minimize
heat loss to the air
View source
What is the procedure for measuring temperature change in an exothermic reaction?
Measure and mix reactants, record
temperature
View source
Why is a thermometer significant in the experiment?
It measures the
temperature
change accurately
View source
Why is it important to repeat the experiment multiple times?
To ensure
reliability
of the results
View source
What is the role of the beaker in the experiment?
It stabilizes the
polystyrene
cup
View source
What does energy release in exothermic reactions imply?
Heat is produced,
increasing
temperature
View source
What defines a neutralization reaction?
Reaction between an
acid
and a
base
View source
Why is recording data in a table important?
It organizes results for
analysis
View source
How do you ensure accurate temperature readings?
By placing the
thermometer
bulb in the solution
View source
What are the implications of the results on understanding chemical reactions?
They show how reactant volumes affect
temperature
