Interpretation:
Changes in temperature in a different experiment performed in the same calorimeter but with two different solutions should be compared to the change in temperature observed in another experiment which was performed before.
Concept Introduction:
Heat released during a chemical reaction in a calorimeter is calculated by applying the formula:
Here, m = mass of the solution
Cp = specific heat of the reacting solution
ΔT= change in temperature
In a Styrofoam calorimeter, the pressure is constant. Heat released at a constant pressure is known as the enthalpy of the chemical reaction.
In the first experiment, the chemical equation is:
Total volume of the reacting solution = 100 mL + 100 mL = 200 mL
Mass of the reacting solution
[The solution is aqueous and density of water is 1 g/mL].
Therefore,
At constant pressure, enthalpy of the system = 2677.76 J.
Answer to Problem 9.79PAE
Solution:
The observed

Explanation of Solution
In this experiment, total volume of the reacting solution = (200 + 200) mL = 400 mL
Mass of the reacting solution
[The solution is aqueous and density of water is 1 g/mL].
We know, = 2677.76 J

- When one mol of KOH is neutralized by sulfuric acid, q=56 kJ. (This is called the heat of neutralization.) At 23.7C, 25.0 mL of 0.475 M H2SO4 is neutralized by 0.613 M KOH in a coffee-cup calorimeter.
