#4. A coffee cup calorimeter contains 300.0 mL of hydrochloric acid solution. A piece of zinc with a mass of 9.81 grams is added and it reacts completely with the acid according to the following reaction. The temperature of the calorimeter rises from 24.05°C to 30.00°C. Zn(s) + 2 HCl(aq) -> ZnCl₂(aq) + H₂(g) (a) How much heat energy did the calorimeter gain during the reaction? (Assume the specific heat of the solution is 4.18 J/g*C) (b) Calculate the AH for this reaction in kJ/mol Zn. (Watch your signs)

#4. A coffee cup calorimeter contains 300.0 mL of hydrochloric acid solution. A piece of zinc with
a mass of 9.81 grams is added and it reacts completely with the acid according to the following
reaction. The temperature of the calorimeter rises from 24.05 C to 30.00°C.
Zn(s) + 2 HCl(aq) —> ZnCl₂(aq) + H₂(g)
(a) How much heat energy did the calorimeter gain during the reaction?
(Assume the specific heat of the solution is 4.18 J/g °C)
(b) Calculate the AH for this reaction in kJ/mol Zn.
