Answer #1

Zn(s) +2HCl(aq) ---------> ZnCl2(aq) + H2(g)    

mass of solution = volume *density

                            = 50*1 = 50g

q   = mc\DeltaT

     = 50*4.18*(23.7-22.5)

      = 250.8J

q    = \Delta H   = 250.8J   = 0.2508KJ

no of moles of Zn = mass of Zn/gram atomic mass

                             = 0.115/65.4

                             = 0.00176moles

\DeltaH      = 0.2508KJ/0.00176mole = 142.5KJ/mole

a.

mass of Zn = 0.115g

\DeltaH      = 0.2508KJ/0.115g = 2.18KJ/g
