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 2.232 g of AX (s) dissolves in 147.5 g of water in a coffee-cup calorimeter the temperature rises from 21.4 °C to 34.8 °C. Calculate the enthalpy change (in kJ/mol) for the solution process. AX (s) → A*(aq) + X¯ (aq) Assumptions for this calculation: · The specific heat of the solution is the same as that of pure water (4.18 J/gK) • The density of water = 1.000 g/mL · The liquid's final volume is not changed by adding the solid · The calorimeter loses only a negligible quantity of heat. The formula weight of AX = 59.1097 g/mol. Be sure you include the correct sign for the enthalpy change. Note: Do not use scientific notation or units in your response. Sig figs will not be graded in this question, enter your response to four decimal places. Carmen may add or remove digits from your response, your submission will still be graded correctly if this happens.
