Chemistry: Principles and Reactions
- A sample of sucrose, C12H22O11, is contaminated by sodium chloride. When the contaminated sample is burned in a bomb calorimeter, sodium chloride does not burn. What is the percentage of sucrose in the sample if a temperature increase of 1.67C is observed when 3.000 g of the sample are burned in the calorimeter? Sucrose gives off 5.64103kJ/mol when burned. The heat capacity of the calorimeter and water is 22.51 kJ/C.arrow_forwardIn 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_forwardChlorine dioxide, ClO2, is a reddish yellow gas used in bleaching paper pulp. The average speed of a ClO2 molecule at 25C is 306 m/s. What is the kinetic energy (in joules) of a ClO2 molecule moving at this speed?arrow_forward
- A 21.3-mL sample of 0.977 M NaOH is mixed with 29.5 mL of 0.918 M HCl in a coffee-cup calorimeter (see Section 6.6 of your text for a description of a coffee-cup calorimeter). The enthalpy of the reaction, written with the lowest whole-number coefficients, is 55.8 kJ. Both solutions are at 19.6C prior to mixing and reacting. What is the final temperature of the reaction mixture? When solving this problem, assume that no heat is lost from the calorimeter to the surroundings, the density of all solutions is 1.00 g/mL, the specific heat of all solutions is the same as that of water, and volumes are additive.arrow_forwardA 10.00-g sample of acetic acid, HC2H3O2, was burned in a bomb calorimeter in an excess of oxygen. HC2H3O2(l)+2O2(g)2CO2(g)+2H2O(l) The temperature of the calorimeter rose from 25.00C to 35.84C. If the heat capacity of the calorimeter and its contents is 13.43 kJ/C, what is the enthalpy change for the reaction?arrow_forwardA 29.1-mL sample of 1.05 M KOH is mixed with 20.9 mL of 1.07 M HBr in a coffee-cup calorimeter (see Section 6.6 of your text for a description of a coffee-cup calorimeter). The enthalpy of the reaction, written with the lowest whole-number coefficients, is 55.8 kJ. Both solutions are at 21.8C prior to mixing and reacting. What is the final temperature of the reaction mixture? When solving this problem, assume that no heat is lost from the calorimeter to the surroundings, the density of all solutions is 1.00 g/mL, and volumes are additive.arrow_forward
- A 50-mL solution of a dilute AgNO3 solution is added to 100 mL of a base solution in a coffee-cup calorimeter. As Ag2O(s) precipitates, the temperature of the solution increases from 23.78 C to 25.19 C. Assuming that the mixture has the same specific heat as water and a mass of 150 g, calculate the heat q. Is the precipitation reaction exothermic or endothermic?arrow_forwardIn a calorimetric experiment, 6.48 g of lithium hydroxide, LiOH, was dissolved in water. The temperature of the calorimeter rose from 25.00C to 36.66C. What is H for the solution process? LiOH(s)Li(aq)+OH(aq) The heat capacity of the calorimeter and its contents is 547 J/C.arrow_forwardWhen one mol of KOH is neutralized by sulfuric acid, q=56 kJ. (This is called the heat of neutralization.) At 23.7C, 25.0 mL of 0.475 M H2SO4 is neutralized by 0.613 M KOH in a coffee-cup calorimeter. Assume that the specific heat of all solutions is 4.18J/gC, that the density of all solutions is 1.00 g/mL, and that volumes are additive. (a) How many mL of KOH is required to neutralize H2SO4? (b) What is the final temperature of the solution?arrow_forward
- Acetic acid, HC2H3O2, is the sour constituent of vinegar (acetum is Latin for vinegar). In an experiment, 3.58 g of acetic acid was burned. HC2H3O2(l)+2O2(g)2CO2(g)+2H2O(l) If 52.0 kJ of heat evolved, what is H per mole of acetic acid?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).
