Question

ONLY 11, 12, 13, 14. THANKS!

The calorimeter above was used to determine the enthalpy of the reaction between hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide. The relevant temperatures at the time of reaction (assuming the reaction was instantaneous) were determined as above. Temperatures were recorded as a function of time and extrapolated to the time of mixing. The generic graph is shown below. The temperature axis is again intentionally not displayed. The relevant information is given in the table below.

The data for the reaction between HCl and NaOH were as follows:

If the temperatures of the acid and base at the time of mixing are different, use their average as the temperature of the mixture before reaction. Use the average also as the initial temperature of the calorimeter.

in kJ/mol?

Enter Your Answer:        -285.8 kJ/mol Incorrect

Value Units Concentration of HCl 2.26 M Volume of HCl 50.0 mL Density of HCl 1.02 g/mL Concentration of NaOH 2.28 M Volume of NaOH 55.0 mL Density of NaOH 1.02 g/mL Specific Heat of HCl & & NaOH & Reaction Mixture 3.97 J/g-K Temperature of HCl at 3.0 min, Tacid (from graph) 23.9 oC Temperature of NaOH at 3.0 min, Tbase (from graph) 23.9 oC Temperature of reaction mixture at 3.0 min, Tmix  (from graph) 38.9 oC

Explanation / Answer


HCl + NaOH ----> NaCl + H2O

nO of mol of HCl = MV = 2.26*50/1000 = 0.113 mol


nO of mol of NaOH = 2.28*55/1000 = 0.1254 mol

from equation

1 mol HCl = 1 mol NaOH

5. limiting reactant = HCl

answer: A

6. nO of mol of HCl reacted = 0.113 mol

7. average = 23.9 c

8. weight of reaction solution = weight of HCl + NaOH

   = 50*1.02+55*1.02 = 107.1 grams

9.   temperature experienced by the reaction mixture

    = 15 c

10.   q = msDT

        = 107.1*3.97*15

        = 6.38 KJ

11. i think it is coffecup calorimeter. then heat released is

   equal to heat gained by calorimeter.

   qcal = 6.38 kj


12. enthalpy change = -6.38 kj


13. i think it is 100% . because it is a coffe cup calorimeter. provided

heat do not lost to surroundings.

14. DHrxn = -6.38/0.113 = -56.46 kj/mol
