A sample of polystyrene, which has a specific heat capacity of 1.880 J.g .°C , is put into a calorimeter (see sketch at right)

that contains 300.0 g of water. The polystyrene sample starts off at 94.9 °C and the temperature of the water starts off at 22.0 When the temperature of the water stops changing it's 27.7 °C. The pressure remains constant at 1 atm. Calculate the mass of the polystyrene sample.

Answer:

56.6g

Explanation:

Given that :

Mass of water, m1= 300.0 g

Temperature of water, T1= 22°C

Specific heat capacity of water, C= 4.184 J/g°C

Mass of polystyrene, m2=?

Temperature of polystyrene = 94.9

Specific heat capacity of polystyrene, c2= 1.88 J/g°C

Final temperature = 27.7 oC

Heat lost by polystyrene = Heat gained by water

mc(dT) = mc(dT)

m2 * 1.88 * (94.9 - 27.7) = 300 * 4.184 * (27.7 - 22)

m2 * 1.88*67.2 = 300*4.184*5.7

126.336 * m2 = 7154.64

m2 = 7154.64 / 126.336

m2 = 56.631838

Hence, mass of polystyrene = 56.6g

When a 12.8 g sample of KCL dissolves in 75.0 g of water in a calorimeter the temp. drops from 31 Celsius to 21.6 Celsius. Calcu
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

Step 1: Calculate qsur (the surrounding is

usually the water)

qsur = ? J

m = 75.0 g water

c = 4.184 J/g

oC

ΔT = (Tfinal- Tinitial)= (21.6 – 31.0) = -9.4 oC

qsur = m · c · (ΔT)

qsur = (75.0g) (4.184 J/g

oC) (-9.4 oC)

qsur = - 2949.72 J

First, using the information we know that we

must solve for qsur, which is the water. We know

the mass for water, 75.0g, the specific heat of

the water, 4.184 j/g

o

c, and the change in

temperature, 21.6-31.0 = -9.4 oC. Plugging it

into the equation, we solve for qsur.

Step 2: Calculate qsys qsys = - (qsur)

qsys = - (- 2949.72 J)

qsys = + 2949.72

In this case, the qsur is negative, which means

that the water lost energy. Where did it go? It

went to the system. Thus, the energy of the

system is negative, opposite, the energy of the

surrounding.

Step 3: Calculate moles of the substance

that is the system

Given: 12.8 g KCl

Mol system = (g system given)

(molar mass of system)

Mol system = (12.8 g KCl)

(39.10g + 35.45g)

Mol system = 12.8 g KCl

74.55 g

Mol system = 0.172

Here, we solve for the mol in the system by

using the molar mass of the material in the

system.

Step 4: Calculate ΔH ΔH = q sys .

Mol system

ΔH= + 2949.72 J

0.172 mol

ΔH= +17179.81 J/mol or +1.72 x 104

J/mol
