Unit I: 

Thermochemistry

  • Determination of heat capacity of a calorimeter for different volumes using change of enthalpy data of a known system (method of back calculation of heat capacity of calorimeter from known enthalpy of solution or enthalpy of neutralization).
  • Determination of heat capacity of the calorimeter and enthalpy of neutralization of hydrochloric acid with sodium hydroxide.
  • Calculation of the enthalpy of ionization of ethanoic acid.
  • Determination of heat capacity of the calorimeter and integral enthalpy (endothermic and exothermic) solution of salts.
  • Determination of basicity/proticity of a polyprotic acid by the thermochemical method in terms of the changes of temperatures observed in the graph of temperature versus time for different additions of a base. Also calculate the enthalpy of neutralization of the first step.
  • Determination of enthalpy of hydration of copper sulphate.
  • Study of the solubility of benzoic acid in water and determination of ∆H.

Any other experiment related to thermochemistry and equilibria can be carried out in the class.

Scheme of Examination

 

The duration of examination will be 5 hrs.
The following exercises will be set in the examination
Physical Chemistry Experiments (two)
Experiment I                                                                27 marks
Experiment II                                                               28 marks
Viva                                                                             15 marks

Total                                                                                70 marks

The exercise carries 27 marks / 28 marks. The exercises in Physical chemistry can be modified by the examiners and the same will be explained to the candidates. However, such modifications will not involve any departure from the basic principles over which experiments are prescribed in the syllabus.

Candidates shall be given two exercise out of the exercises prescribed in the syllabus. Four marks shall be awarded for preparatory work, setting up of an apparatus, neat and methodical work.

Twenty three / Twenty four marks will be awarded for theory and procedure, correct observation and proper recording, use of correct formula, calculation and result within permissible limits.The distribution of marks will be as follows:

 

Theory and procedure                                                   6 marks

Correct observation and proper recording                       5 marks

Use of correct formula and calculation                            6 marks

Result                                                                         6 marks / 7 marks

 

The permissible limit will be decided by the examiner as it varies with the nature of the experiment.

 

Viva

Oral questions shall generally be asked over the work assigned to the candidate. The purpose is to find out as to what extent the candidate has understood the basic principles.
