rder to insure that the reactions you will study go to completion (so that all of the heat released or absorbed is transferred to or from water in the calorimeter), it is important that the reactants are mixed well. How will you mix the reactants in each part of this eriment? With the lid open, you will stir the contents of the calorimeter with a glass stirring rod. With the lid closed, you will use the thermometer as a stirring rod. With the lid closed, you will gently swirl the calorimeter cup so that the contents mix together. You will place the calorimeter in a centrifuge and spin it rapidly to insure that the contents are well mixed.

In a simple calorimeter, a piece of metal weighing 48.67 g was heated to 120.0 °C and then put it into 100.0 mL of water (initially at 23.7 °C). The metal and water were allowed to come to an equilibrium temperature, determined to be 27.8 °C. Assuming no heat lost to the environment, calculate the specific heat of the metal. Is this process endothermic or exothermic? Explain. Show Your Work
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

To measure the enthalpy of an acid-base reaction, a student places the thermometer in the hydrochloric acid solution, and then, without rinsing with DI water, places it in the sodium hydroxide solution prior to adding the hydrochloric acid solution to the calorimeter. How would this affect the calculated enthalpy of the reaction, be too high, too low, or unaffected? Why?

When a 6.50 g sample of solid sodium hydroxide dissolves in 100.0 g of water in a coffee-cup calorimeter, the temperature of the water rises from 21.6 to 37.8oC. Was the chemical reaction (dissolving the solid) endothermic or exothermic? How do you know? Write a balanced chemical equation for this process. Determine how many joules of heat (q) were involved in changing the temperature of the water. If the heat that changed the temperature of the water was a result of the chemical reaction, determine the ΔH of the chemical reaction in kJ/mol of sodium hydroxide.
