A certain chemical reaction releases 269. kJ of heat energy per mole of reactant consumed. Suppose some moles of the reactant are put into a calorimeter (a device for measuring heat flow). It takes 3.21 J of heat energy to raise the temperature of this calorimeter by 1 °C. Now the reaction is run until all the reactant is gone, and the temperature of the calorimeter is found to rise by 5.0 °C. How would you calculate the number of moles of reactant that were consumed? Set the math up. But don't do any of it. Just leave your answer as a math expression. Also, be sure your answer includes all the correct unit symbols. moles consumed = x10 010 X Ś
The specific heat capacity of a particular type of pasta is 1.8 Jg·◦C. Suppose you toss 340 grams of this pasta (at 25◦C) into 1.5 liters of boiling water. What effect does this have on the temperature of the water (before there is time for the strove to provide more heat)? Quantify the answer
A particular sample of cold graphite at 10.20 °C was added to 988.5 g of water at 25.31 °C in a constant pressure calorimeter. If the final temperature of the graphite and water was 25.17 °C, what was the mass of the graphite sample? Assume no heat was lost to the surroundings. The specific heat for water is 4.184 J/g•°C and the specific heat for this graphite is 0.7069 J/g•°C.
When sulfuric acid dissolves in water, a great deal of heat is given off. The enthalpy change for this process is called the enthalpy of solution. To measure it, 175.0 g of water was placed in a coffee-cup calorimeter and chilled to 10.0 °C. Then 49.0 g of pure sulfuric acid, also at 10.0 °C, was added, and the mixture was quickly stirred with a thermometer. The temperature rose rapidly to 14.9 °C. Assume that the specific heat capacity of the resulting sulfuric acid solution is 4.19 J/g °C. Calculate the quantity of thermal energy transferred, Q, for the formation of this solution, and calculate the molar enthalpy of solution in kilojoules per mole of H₂SO4.
10 A student heats 84.17 mL of water to 95.27°C using a hot plate. The heated water is added to a calorimeter containing 73.92 mL of cold water. The water temperature in the calorimeter rises from 2.15°C to 37.48°C. The specific heat capacity of water is 4.184 J and the density of water is g. °C 1.00 mL Assuming that heat was transferred from the hot water to the cold water and the calorimeter, determine the heat capacity of the calorimeter.

A piece of molybdenum metal whose mass is 6.87 g is heated to 100.0 °C and then dropped into an ice calorimeter. As the molybdenum cools to 0.0°C, 0.513 g of ice melts (it takes 6.01 kJ of heat to melt exactly 1 mol of ice). What is the molar heat capacity (in J/mol·K) of molybdenum? i J/mol*K
When 6.54 grams of Zn is placed in 500.0 mL of 1.00 M CuSO4(aq) in a coffee cup calorimeter, it reacts completely to displace copper. The temperature of the solution rises from 20.0˚C to 30.4˚C.

(a) How much heat does the solution gain during this reaction? (in J)
In a coffee-cup calorimeter, 120.0 mL of 1.4 M NaOH and 120.0 mL of 1.4 M HCL are mixed. Both solutions were originally at 20.6°C. After the reaction, the final temperature is 30.0°C.

25.00 mL of 0.200 M sulfuric acid was added to 25.00 mL of 0.200 M NAOH, in a constant volume calorimeter. The density of the resulting solution is 1.225 g/mL and its specific heat is 5.321 J/g-°C.
