Abstract
An isothermal calorimetric titration was designed and built, and some of the results obtained are presented here. For this purpose, a Calvet heat-conducting microcalorimeter was developed and connected to a titration unit built for this experiment to record titration thermograms. The microcalorimeter was electrically calibrated to establish its sensitivity and reproducibility, obtaining K = 13.56 ± 0.21 W V(-1). Additionally, the equipment was tested using the heat of neutralisation for the tris-hydroxymethyl-aminomethane-HCl (THAM-HCl) system, obtaining ΔH = -30.92 ± 0.03 kJ mol(-1). The unit was assembled to obtain titration heats and the corresponding thermodynamic variables (ΔH, ΔG, ΔS, and K(e)) with a system of phenolic derivatives-activated carbon (synthesised from potato peel).
