I Have a question about the following reaction:

H2 + CuSO4 ----> Cu + H2SO4

I have to find the heat of reaction for the equation in lab, i'm using Hess' law and i have the theoretical heat of formation for both copper sulfate and the sulphuric acid, but i'm not 100% sure of how to find them in the lab. I'm using a temp. probe with a home made calorimitor (hope thats how you spell it). will i be able to react straight copper with the sulphiric acid? and does anyone have any ideas? any help would be greatly appreciated.

will i be able to react straight copper with the sulphiric acid?

 

it Is possible, but you need an Oxygen intermediate, so either bubble air through it or add a little H2O2.

it`s VERY slow though!

using the H2O2 would i be able to record the heat given off/taken in by the reaction? or would it be too slow for that? thanks for the idea though.
