Answer : The internal energy change is -2805.8 kJ/mol
Explanation :
First we have to calculate the heat gained by the calorimeter.
where,
q = heat gained = ?
c = specific heat =
= final temperature =
= initial temperature =
Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:
Now we have to calculate the enthalpy change during the reaction.
where,
= enthalpy change = ?
q = heat gained = 23.4 kJ
n = number of moles fructose =
Therefore, the enthalpy change during the reaction is -2805.8 kJ/mole
Now we have to calculate the internal energy change for the combustion of 1.501 g of fructose.
Formula used :
or,
where,
= change in enthalpy =
= change in internal energy = ?
= change in moles = 0 (from the reaction)
R = gas constant = 8.314 J/mol.K
T = temperature =
Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:
Therefore, the internal energy change is -2805.8 kJ/mol
