A sample of 0.562 g of carbon is burned in oxygen in a bomb calorimeter, producing carbon dioxide. Assume both the reactants and products are under standard state conditions, and that the heat released is directly proportional to the enthalpy of combustion of graphite. The temperature of the calorimeter increases from 26.74 °C to 27.93 °C. What is the heat capacity of the calorimeter and its contents?

- In a bomb calorimeter, the reaction vessel is surrounded by water that must be added for each experiment. Since the amount of water is not constant from experiment to experiment, the mass of water must be measured in each case. The heat capacity of the calorimeter is broken down into two parts: the water and the calorimeter components. If a calorimeter contains 1.00 kg water and has a total heat capacity of 10.84 kJ/C, what is the heat capacity of the calorimeter components?arrow_forwardOne step in the manufacturing of sulfuric acid is the conversion of SO2(g) to SO3(g). The thermochemical equation for this process is SO2(g)+12O2(g)SO3(g)H=98.9kJ The second step combines the SO3 with H2O to make H2SO4.

(b) Is heat absorbed or released in this process?arrow_forwardUnder what circumstances is the heat of a process equal to the enthalpy change for the process?arrow_forward
- In a coffee-cup calorimeter, 150.0 mL of 0.50 M HCI is added to 50.0 mL of 1.00 M NaOH to make 200.0 g solution at an initial temperature of 48.2C. If the enthalpy of neutralization for the reaction between a strong acid and a strong base is 56 kJ/mol, calculate the final temperature of the calorimeter contents. Assume the specific heat capacity of the solution is 4.184 J/g C and assume no heat Joss to the surroundings.arrow_forwardAn industrial process for manufacturing sulfuric acid, H2SO4, uses hydrogen sulfide, H2S, from the purification of natural gas. In the first step of this process, the hydrogen sulfide is burned to obtain sulfur dioxide, SO2. 2H2S(g)+3O2(g)2H2O(l)+2SO2(g);H=1124kJ The density of sulfur dioxide at 25C and 1.00 atm is 2.62 g/L, and the molar heat capacity is 30.2 J/(mol C). (a) How much heat would be evolved in producing 1.00 L of SO2 at 25C and 1.00 atm? (b) Suppose heat from this reaction is used to heat 1.00 L of the SO2 from 25C to 500C for its use in the next step of the process. What percentage of the heat evolved is required for this?arrow_forwardExplain why absolute enthalpies and energies cannot be measured, and only changes can be determined.arrow_forward
