If 1.785 g of ethanol (CHCHOH) is burned in a constant volume calorimeter causing a temperature increase of 4.32C, then what is

the molar heat of combustion in units of kJ/mol of ethanol? (Heat capacity of the calorimeter is 9.49 kJ/C.)

<u>Answer:</u> The enthalpy of the reaction is -1056.44 kJ

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the heat absorbed by the calorimeter, we use the equation:

q=c\Delta T

where,

q = heat absorbed

c = heat capacity of calorimeter = 9.49 kJ/°C

\Delta T = change in temperature =  4.32°C

Putting values in above equation, we get:

q=9.49kJ/^oC\times 4.32^oC=40.99kJ

Heat absorbed by the calorimeter will be equal to the heat released by the reaction.

<u>Sign convention of heat:</u>

When heat is absorbed, the sign of heat is taken to be positive and when heat is released, the sign of heat is taken to be negative.

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}

Given mass of ethanol = 1.785 g

Molar mass of ethanol = 46 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\text{Moles of ethanol}=\frac{1.785g}{46g/mol}=0.0388mol

To calculate the enthalpy change of the reaction, we use the equation:

\Delta H_{rxn}=\frac{q}{n}

where,

q = amount of heat released = -40.99 kJ

n = number of moles of ethanol = 0.0388 moles

\Delta H_{rxn} = enthalpy change of the reaction

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\Delta H_{rxn}=\frac{-40.99kJ}{0.0388mol}=-1056.44kJ/mol

Hence, the enthalpy of the reaction is -1056.44 kJ

Fe(NO3)2 not sure how to get the oxidation numbers of all elements
Shtirlitz [24]
You must remember that oxidation number of hydrogen in acids is always +1, oxidation number of oxygen in oxides & acids is always -2... metals has always oxidation number on plus!

group NO3 comes from HNO3...and oxidation number of whole acid group is always on minus and equal to the amount of hydrogen atoms in this acid... so oxidation number of NO3 = -1

we have 2 NO3 groups so 2*(-1) = -2 and that is the reason why oxidation number of Fe in this formula must be +2... because sum of all elements always gives 0!

Now we could count of oxidation number for nitrogen... we write HNO3 and start counting from right to left:
3*(-2) from oxygens + 1 from hydrogen = -5
so nitrogen must have +5 oxidation number... because sum all in formula must be 0.
