Given that, an experiment to measure the enthalpy change for the reaction of aqueous copper(II) sulfate, CuSO4(aq) and zinc, Zn(s) was carried out in a coffee cup calorimeter; the heat of the reaction in the whole system is calculated to be 2218.34 kJ
Heat of reaction (i.e enthalpy of reaction) is the quantity of heat that is required to be added or removed when a chemical reaction is taken place in order to maintain all of the compounds present at the same temperature.
The formula used to calculate the heat of the reaction can be expressed as follows:
Q = mcΔT
where:
- Q = quantity of heat transfer
- m = mass
- c = specific heat of water = 4.18 kJ/g °C (constant)
- ΔT = change in temparature
From the information given:
- The initial temperature (T₁) = 25° C
- The final temperature (T₂) = 91.5° C
∴
The change in temperature i.e. ΔT = T₂ - T₁
ΔT = 91.5° C - 25° C
ΔT = 66.5° C
The number of moles of CuSO₄ = 1.00 mol/dm³ × 50.0 cm³

= 0.05 moles
- Since the molar mass of CuSO₄ = 159.609 g/mol
Then;
Using the relation:

By crossing multiplying;
mass of CuSO₄ = number of moles of CuSO₄ × molar mass of CuSO₄
mass of CuSO₄ = 0.05 moles × 159.609 g/moles
mass of CuSO₄ = 7.9805 grams
∴
Using the formula from above:
Q = mcΔT
Q = 7.9805 g × 4.18 kJ/g °C × 66.5° C
Q = 2218.34 kJ
Therefore, we can conclude that the heat of the reaction is 2218.34 kJ

<u>Answer:</u>
Pyrite leaves behind a green-black streak when it is rubbed against an unglazed porcelain plate as a part of the streak test process.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Different minerals produce different coloured streaks when rubbed against a white ceramic or porcelain streak plate. This streak test is done to identify the mineral and distinguish the same from other minerals that look similar in colour and texture.
It must be ensured that the test is done on clean and fresh specimens of the mineral and that there must be no contaminants. Pyrite specimens are usually brass-yellow colour but it leaves a green-black streak when the streak test is done.
Carbon dioxide is a compound. Oxygen is an element. A compound is 2 or more elements chemically combined. An element is a pure substance. A mixture is combining two or more different compounds/elements.
