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.

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?
