The enthalpy of solution of KOH is -57.6 kJ/mol. We can calculate the heat released by the solution (Qr) of 3.66 g of KOH considering that the molar mass of KOH is 56.11 g/mol.

$3.66g \times \frac{1mol}{56.11g} \times \frac{(-57.6kJ)}{mol} = -3.76 kJ$

According to the law of conservation of energy, the sum of the heat released by the solution of KOH (Qr) and the heat absorbed by the solution (Qa) is zero.

$Qr+Qa = 0\\\\Qa = -Qr = 3.76 kJ$

150.0 mL of solution with a density of 1.02 g/mL were prepared. The mass (m) of the solution is:

$150.0 mL \times \frac{1.02g}{mL} = 153 g$

Given the specific heat capacity of the solution (c) is 4.184 J/g･°C, we can calculate the change in the temperature (ΔT) of the solution using the following expression.

$Qa = c \times m \times \Delta T\\\\\Delta T = \frac{Qa}{c \times m} = \frac{3.76 \times 10^{3}J }{\frac{4.184J}{g.\° C } \times 153g} = 5.87 \° C$

When 3.66 g of KOH (∆Hsol = -57.6 kJ/mol) is dissolved in 150.0 mL of solution, it causes a temperature change of 5.87 °C.

Identify the four parts of the potential energy diagram

Leni [432]

Answer:

Reactants, Activation energy, Energy released by the reaction and Products

Explanation:

This energy profile is that of an exothermic reaction. In an exothermic reaction, heat is liberated to the surrounding. The surrounding becomes hotter than the environment.

The first box to the left is the reactants which signifies the species combining together.

The topmost box is the activation energy which is the energy barrier that must be over come before a reaction takes place.

The box underneath is the energy change. Here, energy is being released.

The right most box is the product of the reaction.
