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>

Explain in a short sentence how you can tell if a reaction is a double replacement<br> reaction.

Monica [59]

Explanation:

In a double displacement reaction, there is an actual exchange of partners to form new compounds.

The reaction is given as shown below:

AB + CD → AD + CB

One of the following conditions serves as the driving force for a double replacement reaction:

Formation of an insoluble compound or precipitate
Formation of water or any other non-ionizing compound
Liberation of a gaseous product.

Alum is a compound used in a variety of applications including cosmetics, water purification, and as a food additive. It can be

vlabodo [156]

Answer:

The theoretical yield of alum is 19.873 grams and percent yield for this alum synthesis is 45.33%.

Explanation:

Mass of bottle = 10.221 g

Mass of bottle with aluminium pieces = 11.353 g

Mass of aluminium = 11.353 g - 10.221 g = 1.132 g

Mass of alum and bottle = 19.230 g

Mass of alum = 19.230 g - 10.221 g = 9.009 g

Experimental yield of alum = 9.009 g

Theoretical yield of alum:

$2Al(s) +2 KOH(aq) +4H_2SO_4(aq)+10 H_2O(l) \rightarrow 2 KAl(SO_4)_2.12 H_2O(s)+3H_2(g)$

Moles of aluminium = $\frac{1.132 g}{27 g/mol}=0.041926 mol$

According to reaction, 2 moles of aluminum gives 2 moles of alum.

Then 0.041926 mol aluminium will give :

$\frac{2}{2}\times 0.041926 mol=0.041926 mol$ of alum.

Mass of 0.041926 moles of alum:

0.041926 mol × 474 g/mol= 19.873 g

Theoretical yield of alum = 19.873 g

Percentage yield:

$\% Yield =\frac{\text{Experimental yield}}{\text{Theoretical yield}}\times 100$

Percentage yield of the alum:

$\% Yield =\frac{ 9.009 g}{19.873 g}\times 100=45.33\%$

The theoretical yield of alum is 19.873 grams and percent yield for this alum synthesis is 45.33%.
