Calorimetry and Molar Enthalpy Questions (SCH4U)

Use the following formula to calculate the answers to the questions below.
(remember that m is always for the substance that you are measuring the
temperature change, usually water or acid)

H
= - m(H2O)(c) t
rxn
    n
1) A student mixed 100.0 ml of 1.50 mol/l sulfuric acid with 200.0 ml of 1.50
mol/l sodium hydroxide. Both solutions were at 19.67 C initially and the
highest temperature reached by the reaction mixture was 34.06 C.

a) Calculate the number of moles (n) of sulfuric acid (volume in


Liters times molarity in mol/l). Why not use NaOH?

b) Calculate the total volume of the two solutions (both sulfuric acid
and sodium hydroxide). This is mostly water!

c) Calculate the mass of the two solutions combined. (m). Since it is


mostly water, use the density of water 1 ml = 1 g

d) Using the information in the question, calculate the molar


enthalpy of sulfuric acid.

A a) because there is one mole H2SO4 in the equation, b)c)


300.0mL, 300.0g, d) -1.20 x 102 kJ/mol H2SO4

2) Calculate the molar enthalpy for the solidification of gallium metal (Ga) if
10.0 g of gallium causes 50.0 ml of water to change temperature from
24.0 to 27.8 C when it solidifies from a liquid. What is the temperature
change that would result if 45.0 g of Ga were used?

A = edit -5600J/mol, t = l7 oC

3) The molar enthalpy of combustion of methane (H rxn = 803 KJ/mol). What is


the minimum mass of methane that must be burned to warm 4.00 L of
water from 22.4 to 87.6 oC, assuming no heat losses? (Assume that 1L of
water = 1Kg).
A: m = 21.8 g edit, 28.5g

4) Find the temperature increase expected for 1.00 L of water when it


absorbs all of the energy from the combustion of 1.00 g of acetylene, C 2H2
(g). The molar enthalpy of combustion for acetylene is 1,290 KJ/mol.
Determine the amount of acetylene required to raise the temperature by
100 oC.

A: t = 11.8 oC, m=8.44g

5) In a chemistry experiment 5 g of urea NH2COHN2 is added to 150 ml of


water in a simple coffee cup calorimeter. A temperature decrease of 3.7 C
is noticed. Calculate the molar enthalpy of urea. How much urea would
you use to obtain a 15 oC difference?
A : H= 34 kJ/mol , m=690 g edit around 20g

6) A laboratory technician initially adds 43.1 ml of concentrated 11.6


mol/L hydrochloric acid to water to form a 500 ml solution. The
temperature of the solution rises 2.6 oC.
a) Calculate the number of moles of hydrochloric acid added (molarity in
mol/l times volume in liters)
b) Convert the final volume of the mixture to mass(1ml = 1g). This value
is m in the formula.
c) Calculate the molar enthalpy, using the remaining information.
A : H = -11 kJ/mol around -10 KJ/mol
