Question
  1. A reaction is performed in 500.0 mL of water, causing the water to increase in temperature from 20 C to 27 C. What was qrxn?

 

  1. Cold packs are made from ammonium nitrate and water. To measure the enthalpy of this reaction 2.50 grams of NH4NO3 (MW = 80.04 g/mole) is dissolved in enough water to make a 50.0 mL solution in a coffee cup calorimeter of negligible heat capacity.  The temperature decreases from 25.8 C to 21.9 C.  Calculate the molar enthalpy for this reaction.

 

  1. The enthalpy for combustion for propanol is -2021 kJ/mol and occurs via the following balanced chemical reaction.

 

2 C3H8O (l)       +          9 O2 (g)           ⟶        6 CO2 (g)         +          8 H2O (g)

 

If 0.601 g of ethanol was combusted in a bomb calorimeter, with Cbomb=12.1 kJ/C that contained 1000.0 mL of water, what would be the temperature change of the water?

 

*for all problems assume the density of water is 1.00 g/mL*
