Question

When 50.0 mL of 1.000 M HCl is reacted with 50.0 mL of 1.000 M NH4OH, the solution's temperature increases 8.65 °C. Calculate qsolution in units of kJ. The specific heat of the salt solution is 4.184 J/g-°C and the density is 1.010 g/mL.

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Total volume of solution = 100 mL .

Total mass of the solution = 100 x 1.01 g

= 101 g

specific heat of solution = 4.184 J/g-°C

rise in temperature = 8.65  °C

heat released = mass x specific heat x rise in temperature

= 101 x 4.184 x 8.65

= 3655.35 J

= 3.655 kJ .

qsolution = 3.655 kJ .
