A student constructs a coffee cup calorimeter and places 50.0 mL of water into it. After a brief period of stabilization, the te

mperature of the water in the calorimeter is determined to be 22.6 °C. To this is added 50.0 mL of water that was originally at a temperature of 54.5 °C. A careful plot of the temperatures recorded after this established the temperature at T0 was 30.31 °C. What is the calorimeter constant in J/°C for this calorimeter?

Answer:

The calorimeter constant is  = 447 J/°C

Explanation:

The heat absorbed or released (Q) by water can be calculated with the following expression:

Q = c × m × ΔT

where,

c is the specific heat

m is the mass

ΔT is the change in temperature

The water that is initially in the calorimeter (w₁) absorbs heat while the water that is added (w₂) later releases heat. The calorimeter also absorbs heat.

The heat absorbed by the calorimeter (Q) can be calculated with the following expression:

Q = C × ΔT

where,

C is the calorimeter constant

The density of water is 1.00 g/mL so 50.0 mL = 50.0 g. The sum of the heat absorbed and the heat released is equal to zero (conservation of energy).

Qabs + Qrel = 0

Qabs = - Qrel

Qcal + Qw₁ = - Qw₂

Qcal = - (Qw₂ + Qw₁)

Ccal . ΔTcal = - (cw . mw₁ . ΔTw₁ + cw . mw₂ . ΔTw₂)

Ccal . (30.31°C - 22.6°C) = - [(4.184 J/g.°C) × 50.0 g × (30.31°C - 22.6°C) +  (4.184 J/g.°C) × 50.0 g × (30.31°C - 54.5°C)]

Ccal  = 447 J/°C

Given the model from the question,

  • The products are: N₂, H₂O and H₂
  • The reactants are: H₂ and NO
  • The limiting reactant is H₂
  • The balanced equation is: 3H₂ + 2NO —> N₂ + 2H₂O + H₂

<h3>Balanced equation </h3>

From the model given, we obtained the ffolowing

  • Red => Oxygen
  • Blue => Nitrogen
  • White => Hydrogen

Thus, we can write the balanced equation as follow:

3H₂ + 2NO —> N₂ + 2H₂O + H₂

From the balanced equation above,

  • Reactants: H₂ and NO
  • Product: N₂, H₂O and H₂

<h3>How to determine the limiting reactant</h3>

3H₂ + 2NO —> N₂ + 2H₂O + H₂

From the balanced equation above,

3 moles of H₂ reacted with 2 moles of NO.

Therefore,

5 moles of H₂ will react with = (5 × 2) / 3 = 3.33 moles of NO

From the calculation made above, we can see that only 3.33 moles of NO out of 4 moles given are required to react completely with 5 moles of H₂.

Thus, H₂ is the limiting reactant

(ii) Electrons are supplied to the external circuit. How and where is this done?<br> [2]
pentagon [3]

Answer:

The electrons are supplied by the species getting oxidized. They move from anode to the cathode in the external circuit. The external battery supplies the electrons. They enter through the cathode and come out through the anode

Given the balanced equation:
Marta_Voda [28]
The answer is (2) A bond is formed and energy is released. The left side of equation is I atom and the right side of equation is I2 molecule. So the bond is formed between I atom to form I2 molecule. And forming bond will release energy while breaking bond will absorb energy.

A negatively charged balloon has 2.6 µc of charge. how many excess electrons are on this balloon? the elemental charge is 1.6 ×
Salsk061 [2.6K]
The given 2.6 µC of charge is due to a buildup of electrons, each of which has a charge of 1.6 x 10^-19 C. The 2.6 <span>µC is equivalent to 2.6 x 10^-6 C, so we can divide this by the individual charge of an electron:
</span>2.6 x 10^-6 C / 1.6 x 10^-19 (C/electron) = 1.625 x 10^13 electrons
