Question

In this experiment you will place a sample of your salt in water in a constant pressure calorimeter with a heat capacity of 29.4 J/℃.  You will determine the enthalpy change for the dissociation of your salt, Delta Hdiss.   A sample of 4.368 grams of the salt SrCl2 was placed in 35.5 g water, the initial temperature was 20.00℃  and the final temperature was 27.086365℃.   Now that we have the enthalpy of reaction, q (reaction)  =   – 1390.399457 J, and the number of moles 0.035491131 mol SrCl2 , we can get the enthalpy of reaction.  Give Delta H (rxn) in correct sig figs.

Delta H (rxn)  =  q / n  =   – 1390.399457 J / 0.035491131 mol SrCl2

Delta H (rxn)  =  – 39175.96895 J / mol SrCl2

Delta H (rxn)  =  – 39.17596895 kJ / mol SrCl2

 
a. – 39.17 kJ / mol
b. – 39.17596895 kJ / mol
c. – 39 kJ / mol
d. – 39.2 kJ / mol
e. none of these
f. – 4 x 10^1 kJ / mol
g. – 39.1 kJ / mol
h. – 39.18 kJ / mol
