Answer:
I think it would be D. None of the above
Explanation:
why I think this is because none of the answers really adds up to it
Answer:
2.8
Explanation:
First, we will calculate the molarity of the acetylsalicylic acid solution.
M = mass of solute (g) / molar mass of solute × volume of solution (L)
M = 0.327 g / 180.158 g/mol × 0.237 L
M = 7.66 × 10⁻³ M
For a weak acid such as acetylsalicylic acid, we can find the concentration of H⁺ using the following expression.
[H⁺] = √(Ca × Ka)
where,
Ca: concentration of the acid
Ka: acid dissociation constant
[H⁺] = √(7.66 × 10⁻³ × 3.3 × 10⁻⁴)
[H⁺] = 1.6 × 10⁻³ M
The pH is:
pH = -log [H⁺]
pH = -log 1.6 × 10⁻³ = 2.8
First, we determine the energy released by the reaction using the heat capacity and change in temperature as such:
Q = cΔT
Q = 32.16 * 0.42
Q = 13.51 kJ
Next, we determine the moles of ammonia formed as the heat of formation is expressed in "per mole".
Moles = mass / molecular weight
Moles = 5/17
Moles = 0.294
Heat of formation = 13.51 / 0.294
The heat of formation of ammonia is 45.95 kJ/mol
