4. Calorimetry can be used to determine the specific heat capacity of different substances (not just metals). Using the online c

alorimeter simulation you perform the following calorimetry experiment: 100g of ethanol at 50.0°C is mixed with 100. g of water at 20.0°C. After mixing the temperature is 31.11°C. Calculate the specific heat capacity of ethanol.
In problem #4 you calculated the specific heat capacity of ethanol from data obtained using the online calorimeter simulation. When you try the same experiment in a real calorimeter, the final temperature after mixing is 34.00°C. Offer an explanation for why the final temperatures are different. Hint: the calorimeter simulation may be missing something.

Answer:

the specific heat capacity of ethanol is 2.4608 J/g°C

The variation in the final temperature is due to the rate of heat lost. Calorimeters do not dissipate or absorb energy

Calculate the pH after 10 mL of 1.0 M sodium hydroxide is added to 60 mL of 0.5M acetic acid.
baherus [9]

Explanation:

It is given that the total volume is (10 mL + 60 mL) = 70 mL.

Also, it is known that M_{1}V_{1} = M_{2}V_{2}

Where,    V_{1} = total volume

               V_{2} = initial volume

Therefore, new concentration of CH_{3}COOH = \frac{M_{2}V_{2}}{V_{1}}

                                        = \frac{60 \times 0.5}{70}

                                        = 0.43 M

New concentration of NaOH = \frac{M_{2}V_{2}}{V_{1}}

                                               = \frac{10 \times 1.0}{70}

                                               = 0.14 M

So, the given reaction will be as follows.

              CH_{3}COOH + OH^{-} \rightarrow CH_{3}COO^{-} + H_{2}O

Initial:             0.43          0.14                     0

Change:          -0.14        -0.14                    0.14

Equilibrium:    0.29          0                       0.14

As it is known that value of pK_{a} = 4.74

Therefore, according to Henderson-Hasselbalch equation calculate the pH as follows.

           pH = pK_{a} + log \frac{[CH_{3}COO^{-}]}{[CH_{3}COOH]}

                 = 4.74 + log \frac{0.14}{0.29}

                 = 4.74 + (-0.316)

                 = 4.42

Therefore, we can conclude that the pH of given reaction is 4.42.

50 g of liquid water is frozen in an ice cube tray. What is the total weight of all of the ice cubes
Fantom [35]
Answer: 50 grams

Explanation: The water is still only going to be 50 grams. Although it’s in a different state, it didn’t gain or lose any water while being frozen.
