In „conventional“ calorimetry: qm = Δ R H; p,T = const.

    February 05, 2014 Calorimetry the science of measuring heat generated or consumed during a chemical reaction or phase change What is going to happen when the burner is lit? February 05, 2014 Experimental Design Chemical changes involve potential energy, which cannot be measured directly Chemical reactions absorb or release energy with the surroundings, which cause a change in temperature of the surroundings (and this can be measured) In a calorimetry experiment, we set up the experiment so all of the energy from the reaction (the system) is exchanged with the surroundings ∆Esystem = ∆Esurroundings Chemical System Surroundings (water) Endothermic Change February 05, 2014 Chemical System Surroundings (water) Exothermic Change ∆Esystem = ∆Esurroundings February 05, 2014 There are three main calorimeter designs: 1) Flame calorimeter -a fuel is burned below a metal container filled with water 2) Bomb Calorimeter -a reaction takes place inside an enclosed vessel with a surrounding sleeve filled with water 3) Simple Calorimeter -a reaction takes place in a polystyrene cup filled with water Example #1 A student assembles a flame calorimeter by putting 350 grams of water into a 15.0 g aluminum can. A burner containing ethanol is lit, and as the ethanol is burning the temperature of the water increases by 6.30 ˚C and the mass of the ethanol burner decreases by 0.35 grams. Use this information to calculate the molar enthalpy of combustion of ethanol. February 05, 2014 The following apparatus can be used to determine the molar enthalpy of combustion of butan-2-ol. Initial mass of the burner: 223.50 g Final mass of the burner : 221.25 g water Mass of copper can + water: 230.45 g Mass of copper can : 45.60 g Final temperature of water: 67.0˚C Intial temperature of water : 41.3˚C Determine the molar enthalpy of combustion of butan-2-ol.

  • Isothermal Titration Calorimetry and Differential Scanning Calorimetry As Complementary Tools to Investigate the Energetics of Biomolecular Recognition
    JOURNAL OF MOLECULAR RECOGNITION J. Mol. Recognit. 1999;12:3–18 Review Isothermal titration calorimetry and differential scanning calorimetry as complementary tools to investigate the energetics of biomolecular recognition Ilian Jelesarov* and Hans Rudolf Bosshard Department of Biochemistry, University of Zurich, CH-8057 Zurich, Switzerland The principles of isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) are reviewed together with the basic thermodynamic formalism on which the two techniques are based. Although ITC is particularly suitable to follow the energetics of an association reaction between biomolecules, the combination of ITC and DSC provides a more comprehensive description of the thermodynamics of an associating system. The reason is that the parameters DG, DH, DS, and DCp obtained from ITC are global properties of the system under study. They may be composed to varying degrees of contributions from the binding reaction proper, from conformational changes of the component molecules during association, and from changes in molecule/solvent interactions and in the state of protonation.

  • Calorimetry Has Been Routinely Used at US and European Facilities For
    10. PRINCIPLES AND APPLICATIONS OF CALORIMETRIC ASSAY D. S. Bracken, and C. R. Rudy I. Introduction Calorimetry is the quantitative measurement of heat. Applications of calorimetry include measurements of the specific heats of elements and compounds, phase-change enthalpies, and the rate of heat generation from radionuclides. The most successful radiometric calorimeter designs fit the general category of heat-flow calorimeters. Calorimetry is used as a nondestructive assay (NDA) technique for determining the power output of heat-producing nuclear materials. The heat is generated by the decay of radioactive isotopes within the item. Because the heat-measurement result is completely independent of material and matrix type, it can be used on any material form or item matrix. Heat-flow calorimeters have been used to measure thermal powers from 0.5 mW (0.2 g low-burnup plutonium equivalent) to 1,000 W for items ranging in size from less than 2.54 cm to 60 cm in diameter and up to 100 cm in length. Calorimetric assay is the determination of the mass of radioactive material through the combined measurement of its thermal power by calorimetry and its isotopic composition by gamma-ray spectroscopy or mass spectroscopy. Calorimetric assay has been routinely used at U.S. and European facilities for plutonium process measurements and nuclear material accountability for the last 40 years [EI54, GU64, GU70, ANN15.22, AS1458, MA82, IAEA87]. Calorimetric assay is routinely used as a reliable NDA technique for the quantification of plutonium and tritium content. Calorimetric assay of tritium and plutonium-bearing items routinely obtains the highest precision and accuracy of all NDA techniques.

Theoretical predictions of bond energies or of the stability and structure of compounds can be tested. In this experiment you will become familiar with the basic principles of calorimetry. You will use a bomb calorimeter, in which chemical reactions take place without change of volume (isochoric reaction path). The tem- perature change in a surrounding bath is monitored. You will compute standard enthalpies of formation and perform a thorough error analysis.

Heat Work Energy used to cause the Energy used to cause temperature of an object an object that has mass to increase. to move. w = F d 2 1 Electrostatic potential energy • The most important form of potential energy in molecules is electrostatic potential energy, Eel: where k = 8.99109 Jm/C2 • Electron charge: 1.602 10-19 C • The unit of energy commonly used is the Joule: 3 Attraction between ions • Electrostatic attraction occurs between oppositely charged ions. • Energy is released when chemical bonds are formed; energy is consumed when chemical bonds are broken. 4 2 First Law of Thermodynamics • Energy can be converted from one form to another, but it is neither created nor destroyed. • Energy can be transferred between the system and surroundings. • Chemical energy is converted to heat in grills.
