Heat of displacement (Calculation)

To determine the heat of displacement of copper from a copper (ll) sulphate solution by zinc.

Procedure :
1. Measure 25 cm3 0.2 mol dm-3 copper(ll) sulphate solution and pour into a polystyrene cup.
2. Put the thermometer into the copper(ll) sulphate solution. Record the initial temperature,
3. Add half a spatula of zinc powder (in excess) quickly into copper(ll) sulphate solution.
