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

\mathbf{= (1 \times \dfrac{50}{1000})\ moles}

= 0.05 moles

  • Since the molar mass of CuSO₄ = 159.609 g/mol

Then;

Using the relation:

\mathbf{number \ of \ moles = \dfrac{mass}{molar \ mass}}}

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

What is the volume of ammonia produced at 243 K at a pressure of 1.38 atm by the unbalanced reaction on the left if 5740 moles o
Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

49671 L is the produced volume of ammonia

Explanation:

We think the reaction of ammonia 's production:

N₂(g) + 3H₂(g)  → 2NH₃ (g)

We have the moles of each reactant so let's determine the limiting reactant:

Ratio is 1:3. 1 mol of nitrogen reacts with 3 moles of H₂

Then, 1720 moles of N₂ will react with (1720 .3) /1 = 5160 moles of H₂

We have 5740 moles of hydrogen, so we have enough hydrogen. This is the excess reagent, so the limiting is the N₂

1 mol of N₂ can produce 2 moles of ammonia

Therefore 1720 moles of N₂ will produce (1720 . 2) /1 = 3440 moles of NH₃

We apply now, the Ideal Gases Law → P . V = n . R .T

V = (n . R . T) /P → V = (3440 mol . 0.082 L.atm/mol.K . 243K) / 1.38 atm

V = 49671 L

We confirm that the nitrogen was the limiting reactant

3 moles of H₂ need 1 mol of nitrogen to react

Therefore, 5740 moles of H₂ will react with (5740 . 1) /3 = 1913 moles of N₂

It was ok to say, that N₂ was the limiting reactant because we need 1913 moles in the reaction, and we only have 1720 moles
