### Calorimetry Experiment: Understanding Exothermic and Endothermic Reactions

A student runs two experiments with a constant-volume "bomb" calorimeter containing 1400 g of water (see sketch at right).

First, a 6.500 g tablet of benzoic acid (C\(_6\)H\(_5\)CO\(_2\)H) is put into the "bomb" and burned completely in an excess of oxygen. (Benzoic acid is known to have a heat of combustion of 26.454 kJ/g.) The temperature of the water is observed to rise from 13.00 °C to 38.59 °C over a time of 5.8 minutes.

Next, 5.920 g of ethylene (C\(_2\)H\(_4\)) are put into the "bomb" and similarly completely burned in an excess of oxygen. This time the temperature of the water rises from 13.00 °C to 58.70 °C.

Use this information, and any other information you need from the ALEKS Data resource, to answer the questions below about this reaction:

\[ \text{C}_2 \text{H}_4 (\text{g}) + 3 \text{O}_2 (\text{g}) \rightarrow 2 \text{CO}_2 (\text{g}) + 2 \text{H}_2 \text{O} (\text{g}) \]

**Be sure any of your answers that are calculated from measured data are rounded to the correct number of significant digits.**

**Note for advanced students:** It’s possible the student did not do these experiments sufficiently carefully, and the values you calculate may not match published values for this reaction.

**Question:**
Is this reaction exothermic, endothermic, or neither?

**Options:**
- exothermic ✔️
- endothermic 
- neither

**If you said the reaction was exothermic or endothermic, calculate the amount of heat that was released or absorbed by the reaction in the second experiment.** 

\[ \text{Answer: } -132.5 \, \text{kJ} \]

### Diagram Explanation
The image contains a simple sketch of a bomb calorimeter indicating key components:

- **Stirrer**: Ensures uniform temperature distribution in the water.
- **Thermometer**: Measures

Benzoic acid is known to have a heat of combustion of 26.454 kJ/g. The temperature of the water is observed to rise from 13.00°C to 38.59°C over a time of 5.8 minutes.

Next, 5.920 g of ethylene (C₂H₄) are put into the "bomb" and similarly completely burned in an excess of oxygen. This time the temperature of the water rises from 13.00°C to 58.70°C.

Use this information, and any other information you need from the ALEKS Data resource, to answer the questions below about this reaction:

\[ \text{C}_2\text{H}_4(g) + 3\text{O}_2(g) \rightarrow 2\text{CO}_2(g) + 2\text{H}_2\text{O}(g) \]

Be sure any of your answers that are calculated from measured data are rounded to the correct number of significant digits.

*Note for advanced students:* It's possible the student did not do these experiments sufficiently carefully, and the values you calculate may not exactly match published values for this reaction.

### Questions:

1. Is this reaction exothermic, endothermic, or neither?
   - **Options:**
     - exothermic [X]
     - endothermic [ ]
     - neither [ ]

2. If you said the reaction was exothermic or endothermic, calculate the amount of heat that was released or absorbed by the reaction in the second experiment.
   - **Answer:**
     \[ -132.5 \, \text{kJ} \]

3. Calculate the reaction enthalpy \(\Delta H_{\text{rxn}}\) per mole of C₂H₄.
   - **Answer:**
     \[ -1160.9 \, \text{kJ/mol} \]
