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
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.
