Question

1a. When a solid dissolves in water, heat may be evolved or absorbed. The heat of dissolution(dissolving) can be determined using a coffee cup calorimeter.

1b.  

1c.

In the laboratory a "coffee cup" calorimeter, or constant pressure calorimeter, is frequently used to determine the specific heat of a solid, or to measure the energy of a solution phase reaction.

A student heats 64.53 grams of magnesium to 98.68 °C and then drops it into a cup containing 79.69 grams of water at 20.97 °C. She measures the final temperature to be 33.36 °C.

The heat capacity of the calorimeter (sometimes referred to as the calorimeter constant) was determined in a separate experiment to be 1.78 J/°C.

Assuming that no heat is lost to the surroundings calculate the specific heat of magnesium.

Specific Heat (Mg) =  J/g°C.

1e. The standard enthalpy change for the following reaction is 903 kJ at 298 K.

What is the standard enthalpy change for this reaction at 298 K?

___ kJ

1f.

The standard enthalpy change for the following reaction is -116 kJ at 298 K.

What is the standard enthalpy change for the reaction at 298 K?

_____kJ

When a solid dissolves in water, heat may be evolved or absorbed. The heat of dissolution(dissolving) can be determined using a coffee cup calorimeter.

In the laboratory a general chemistry student finds that when 10.82 g of NaClO4(s) are dissolved in 101.10 g of water, the temperature of the solution drops from 22.40 to 19.02 °C.

The heat capacity of the calorimeter (sometimes referred to as the calorimeter constant) was determined in a separate experiment to be 1.65 J/°C.

Based on the student's observation, calculate the enthalpy of dissolution of NaClO4(s) in kJ/mol.

Assume the specific heat of the solution is equal to the specific heat of water.

Hdissolution =  kJ/mol

Explanation / Answer

Question 1 a

Molar mass: 159.609 g/mol

Q = mcT

Q = heat energy (Joules, J), m = mass of a substance (kg)

c = specific heat (units J/kgK), is a symbol meaning "the change in"

T = change in temperature (Kelvins, K)

Q = 109.2 x 4.184 x (27.61-25.19) = 1105.918 Joules

heat capacity of the calorimeter = 2.42 x 1.72 = 4.1624 Joules

Total heat realesed = 1105.918 + 4.1624 = 1110.0804 Joules

Moles of Copper = 2.38 / 159.609 = 0.0149 Moles

Enthalpy of dissolution of CuSO4(s) = 1110.08.04 / 0.0149 x 1000 =74.502 kj

Question 1c

Heat released by heat = 79.69 x 4.184 x (33.36-20.97) + 1.78 x (33.36-20.97) = 4153.16 Joules

Specific heat of magnesium = 4153.16 joules / (98.68 -33.36) °C x 64.53 g = 0.98 J/g°C
