Question

In a constant‑pressure calorimeter, 60.0 mL of 0.300 M Ba(OH)2 was added to 60.0 mL of 0.600 M HCl. The reaction caused the temperature of the solution to rise from 23.65 ∘C to 27.74 ∘C. If the solution has the same density and specific heat as water ( 1.00 g/mL and 4.184J/g⋅K,) respectively), what is Δ???? for this reaction (per mole H2O produced)? Assume that the total volume is the sum of the individual volumes.

Answer 1

Answer:

ΔH = 57.04 Kj/mole H₂O

Explanation:

60ml(0.300M Ba(OH)₂(aq) + 60ml(0.600M HCl(aq)

=> 0.06(0.3)mole Ba(OH)₂(aq) + 0.60(0.6)mole HCl(aq)

=> 0.018mole Ba(OH)₂(aq) + 0.036mole HCl(aq)

=> 100% conversion of reactants => 0.018mole BaCl₂(aq) + 0.036mole H₂O(l) + Heat

ΔH = mcΔT/moles H₂O <==> Heat Transfer / mole H₂O

=(120g)(4.0184j/g°C)(27.74°C - 23.65°C)/(0.036mole H₂O)

ΔH = 57,042 j/mole H₂O = 57.04 Kj/mole H₂O
