Abstract
Enthalpies of formation of aqueous ions can be determined by solution calorimetry. This article describes an experiment for the physical chemistry laboratory. Enthalpies of formation of aqueous sodium, potassium, chloride and iodide ions are calculated from the enthalpies of solution of salts. The enthalpies of solution are measured with the Parr 1455 solution calorimeter. The calorimeter is controlled and data are collected by a computer attached to the calorimeter's serial port. The experiment is simple and yields results that are in good agreement with literature values.
