In a coffee cup calorimeter, 1.60 g NH4NO3 was mixed with 75.0 grams of water at an initial temperature of 25.00* Celsius. After

the dissolution of the salt, the final temperature of the calorimeter contents was 23.34 * Celcius. Assuming the solution has a heat capacity of 4.18 J/g*C, and assuming no heat loss to the calorimeter, calculate the enthalpy of the solution for the dissolution of NH4NO3 in units of kJ/mol. Q

Answer:

-26.6kJ/mol

Explanation:

The dissolution of NH₄NO₃ is:

NH₄NO₃(aq) → NH₄⁺(aq) + NO₃⁻(aq)

To solve this question we need to find the heat released in the dissolution using the equation of coffee cup calorimeter:

Q = -m*S*ΔT

<em>Where Q is heat,</em>

<em>m is the mass of solution = 1.60g + 75.0g = 76.6g</em>

<em>S is specific heat of the calorimeter (4.18J/g°C)</em>

<em>And ΔT is change in temperature (25°C - 23.34°C = 1.66°C)</em>

<em />

The heat is:

Q = -76.6g*4.18J/g°C*1.66°C

Q = -531.5J = -0.5315kJ are released

The heat released per mole = Enthalpy for the dissolution is:

<em>Moles NH₄NO₃:</em>

1.60g * (1mol / 80.043g) = 0.0200mol

Enthalpy for the dissolution:

-0.5315kJ / 0.0200mol =

<h3>-26.6kJ/mol</h3>

IceJOKER [234]

<u>Answer:</u> The entropy change of the liquid water is 63.4 J/K

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the entropy change for same phase at different temperature, we use the equation:

\Delta S=n\times C_{p}\times \ln (\frac{T_2}{T_1})

where,

\Delta S = Entropy change

C_{p} = molar heat capacity of liquid water = 75.38 J/mol.K

n = number of moles of liquid water = 3 moles

T_2 = final temperature = 95^oC=[95+273]K=368K

T_1 = initial temperature = 5^oC=[5+273]K=278K

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\Delta S=3mol\times 75.38J/mol.K\times \ln (\frac{368}{278})\\\\\Delta S=63.4J/K

Hence, the entropy change of the liquid water is 63.4 J/K

kow [346]

Answer:

=C_3H_4O_3

Explanation:

When percentage composition is given, and asked for the empirical formula, it is simplest to  assume 100 g of material. Thus,

Mass C = 40.92 g.  Moles C = 40.92 g x 1 mole/12 g = 3.41 moles C

Mass H = 4.58 g.  Moles H = 4.58 g x 1 mole/1.0 g = 4.58 moles H

Mass O = 54.50 g.  Moles O = 54.50 g x 1 mole/16 g = 3.41 moles O

Now, we want to get the moles into whole numbers, so we begin by dividing all by the smallest, i.e. divide all values by 3.41.

Moles C = 3.41/3.41 = 1

Moles H = 4.58/3.41 = 1.34

Moles O = 3.41/3.41 = 1

Now, in order to get 1.34 to be a whole number we multiply it (and all others) by 3

Moles C = 1x3 = 3

Moles H = 1.34x3 = 4

Moles O = 1x3 = 3

Empirical Formula =C_3H_4O_3

galina1969 [7]

Educated Guess Here!

Since Br-80 does not exist, maybe that means Br-79 or Br-81 have very unequal abundances. For example, Br-79 may have 75% abundance whereas Br-81 may have 25% abundance.
