A calorimeter is calibrated to have a heat capacity of 441.2 J/°c. 0.143 g of substance X is burned in the calorimeter and raises its temperature from 23.1 °c to 39.5°c. What is the heat of combustion of substance X in J/g?
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.
