First we calculate the heat given off by dissolution of KOH in water
Given : mass of KOH pellet = 0.215 g
moles KOH = (mass KOH) / (molar mass KOH)
moles KOH = (0.215 g) / (56.1 g/mol)
moles KOH = 0.00383 mol
Heat given by dissolution of KOH = (moles KOH) * (H KOH)
Heat given by dissolution of KOH = (0.0383 mol) * (-57.6 kJ/mol)
Heat given by dissolution of KOH = -0.221 kJ
Heat given by dissolution of KOH = -221 J (negative sign indicates heat release)
Heat absorbed by water = Heat given by dissolution of KOH
Heat absorbed by water = 221 J
Now we find the final temperature of water
volume of water = 105 mL
mass of water = (volume of water) * (density of water)
mass of water = (105 mL) * (1.00 g/mL)
mass of water = 105 g
Total mass of solution = (mass of water) + (mass KOH)
Total mass of solution = (105 g) + (0.215 g)
Total mass of solution = 105.215 g
we know that,
heat absorbed by solution = (mass of solution) * (specific heat of solution) * (final temp. - initial temp.)
221 J = (105.215 g) * (4.18 J/g.oC) * (final temp. - 20.12 oC)
(final temp. - 20.12 oC) = (221 J) / [(105.215 g) * (4.18 J/g.oC)]
(final temp. - 20.12 oC) = 0.50 oC
final temp. = 20.12 oC + 0.50 oC
final temp. = 20.62 oC
In my Study Sheet I have a question that is as follows: What is the maximum...
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 solutiorn phase reaction. Thermometer Stirring rod A student heats 63.92 grams of iron to 98.03 °C and then drops it into a cup containing 75.92 grams of water at 24.47 °C. She measures the final temperature to be 30.66 °C The heat capacity of the calorimeter (sometimes referred to as the...
3 seperate questions i have been having trouble with Suppose you are investigating the reaction: M(s) + 2 HCl(aq) - MC12(aq) + H2(g). You weigh out a 0.243 gram piece of metal and combine it with 63.1 mL of 1.00 M HCl in a coffee-cup calorimeter. If the molar mass of the metal is 46.62 g/mol, and you measure that the reaction absorbed 105 J of heat, what is the enthalpy of this reaction in kJ per mole of limiting...
please answer these questions are based off the sheet with the short procedure Question 1 What are the two substances and their quantities (mass for solids, volumes and concentrations for solutions) placed in the calorimeter for Reaction A? Concentration (if Formula Amount (include units!) needed; write N/A for pure substances) Substance 1 Substance 2 D Question 2 What are the two substances and their quantities (mass for solids, volumes and concentrations for solutions) placed in the calorimeter for Reaction B?...
