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.
q represents the change in heat of a reaction or substance. The units of q are Joules (J) or kilojoules (kJ). For a well understood substance, we can calculate the specific heat which relates the mass of the substance in grams to the amount of heat in J required to raise that amount a certain temperature. We call that specific heat. The specific heat (Cs) of water is stated in the following way: C s ( H 2 O ) = 4.186 J g ∘ C This means that it takes 4.186 J of energy to raise the temperature of 1g of water by 1ºC. The relationship between q and Cs for a given substance is where m is mass (g) and ∆T is the change in temperature in ºC (final temp - initial temp). Calculate the heat change (q) in J when 4.297 grams of water is cooled from 3.967 ºC to -2.902 ºC. Enter your answer with one decimal place (tenths). Pay careful attention to the sign of your answer. The sign of ∆T is always the same as the sign for q.

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. Assume the coffee cup itself gains no heat and that the solution has the same density (1.00 g/mL) and specific heat (4.184 J/g˚C) as pure water. (a) How much heat does the solution gain during this reaction? (in J)
A chemical reaction takes place inside a flask submerged in a water bath. The water bath contains 4.70 kg of water at 38.7 °C. During the reaction 55.6 kJ of heat flows out of the flask and into the bath. Calculate the new temperature of the water bath. You can assume the specific heat capacity of water under these conditions is -1 4.18 J∙g¯¹·K¯¹. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits. 心。 °℃ x10 S
