Question

4. Consider the decomposition of HCl(g):
2HCl(g) H2(g) + Cl2(g) H = 185 kJ

(a) Is heat absorbed or released in this process? Answer: ______________________________________ (b) Calculate the value of H for the decomposition of 4 moles of HCl(g).

(c) Determine the value of H for the following reaction: H2(g) + Cl2(g) 2HCl(g)

(d) Calculate the value of H for the following reaction: 4H2(g) + 4Cl2(g) 8HCl(g)

5. (a) Calculate the specific heat of copper (in J/g·K) if 12.4 J of heat is required to raise the temperature of a 9.12 g sample of copper by 3.52 K.

(b) Calculate the amount of heat in Joule required to raise the temperature of a 145 g of copper by 12.4 K.

6. When 0.100 L of 2.00 M potassium hydroxide and 0.100 L of 2.00 M nitric acid are mixed in a coffee-cup calorimeter, the temperature increases from 19.18oC to 27.11oC. Calculate the enthalpy change for the neutralization reaction in kJ. Assume that the heat capacity of the calorimeter apparatus is 141 J/K, the specific heat of the solution is 4.18 J/g·K, the total volume of the solution is 0.200 L, and the density of the solution is 1.04 g/mL.

Explanation / Answer

4.

a) As DHrxn is +ve : heat absorbed

b) 2 mole = 185 kj

4 mole = 185*4/2 = 370 kj

c) H2(g) + Cl2(g) 2HCl(g)

its opposite to origibal one

DHrxn = -185 kj

d) 4H2(g) + 4Cl2(g) 8HCl(g)

DHrxn = 4*(-185) = -740 kj

5. q = m*s*DT

m = 9.12 , S = specificheat = ?

DT = 3.52 k   q = 12.4 kj

12.4 = 9.12*s*3.52

s = 0.386 j/k.g


6. mass of solution = 0.2*1.04 = 0.208 grams

specific heat of the solution = 4.18 J/g·K

DT = 27.11-19.18 = 7.93

q = msDT = 0.208*4.18*7.93 = 6.9 j

No of moles of KOH= 0.1*2 = 0.2 mole

DH = 6.9/0.2 = 34.5 j/mol
