HEAT AND VOLUME EFFECTS IN SOLUTIONS
2. THEORY:
Liquids are either completely miscible, partially miscible, or immiscible with each other.
Those which are miscible, dissolve in each other exothermally, endothermally, or ethermally, and
accompanied by volume changes. Such temperature and volume changes are related to the type
and magnitudes of the solution’s intramolecular forces, which in turn depend upon the
molecular structures of the solute and solvent particles.

4. PROCEDURE:
4.1. Determine and record the initial temperatue of acetone, ethanol, methanol, and distilled
water.
4.2. Place 5 ml of acetone in a test tube, add 5 ml distilled water and mix thoroughly and label
the mixture.
4.4. Repeat steps 4.2 and 4.3 this time mixing the following combination of liquids in seperate
test tubes acetone and ethanol, acetone and methanol, ethanol and water, ethanol and
methanol, and methanol and water.

7. CONCLUSION:
In relation with the experiment’s objectives: Distinguish exothermic from endothermic
solutions; and familiarize with volume effects in solutions. With this experiment the group seen
the diffrence of the exothermic from endothermic solutions and the impact of the volume of the
solutions.
When two substances mix to form a solution, heat is either evolved (an exothermic
process) or absorbed (an endothermic process); only in the special case of an ideal solution do
substances mix without any heat effect. most simple molecules mix with a small endothermic
heat of solution, while exothermic heats of solution are observed when the components interact
strongly with one another. An endothermic ("within-heating") describes a process or reaction in
which the system absorbs energy from the surroundings in the form of heat. While the term
exothermic ("outside heating") describes a process or reaction that releases energy from the
system, usually in the form of heat, but also in the form of light (e.g. a spark, flame, or
explosion), electricity (e.g. a battery), or sound (e.g. burning hydrogen).
The property of liquids to mix in all proportions, forming a homogeneous solution is
called miscibility. In this experiment all of the solutions are miscible since they mix in all
proportions. The effect of the volume increases the chance of the solutions to react with each
other to form either an endothermic or exothermic solutions.
8. EXERCISE:
What are the implications of volume change on mixing and heating of solution in the
preparation of solutions?
Answer:
The property of the liquid to be an endothermic or exothermic (temperature) will
depend on the volume. some volume changes cause of the volability state of a liquid, on this
experiment we're referring to Acetone, Ethanol, and Methanol. While for the distilled water, the
density of pure water is a constant at a particular temperature, and does not depend on the size
of the sample. That is, it is an intensive property. The density of water varies with temperature
and impurities.
