K(s)+2H2O(l)K(OH)2(s)+H2(g) 2K(s)+2H2O(l)2KOH(s)+H2(g) 2K(s)+2H2O(l)2K+(aq)+2OH(aq)+H2(g) K(s)+H2O(l)K+(aq)+OH(aq)+H+(aq)

Explanation / Answer

1.the reaction is 2K+2H2O(l)----->2KOH (aq)+ H2(g)

2. Enthalpy of formation data ( Kj/mole): KOH=-482.37, H2O=-285.83, K=0 and H2=0

standard enthalpy of reaction =2* enthaly of formatino of KOH+1* enthalpt of formation of H2 - {2* enthalpy of formatino of K+ 28enthalpt of formatino of water liquid}, 2,1,2 and 2 are coefficients of KOH,H2, K and KOH in the reaction.

=2* -482.37+2*285.83=-393 Kj/mole

moles of potasium in 8 gm =mass/molar mass = 8/39= 0.205

enthalpy change in 8 gm =-393*0.205 Kj=80.5 Kj= -80.5*1000 joules.This heat is taken by water

heat taken by water= mass* specific heat* temperature difference= 400*4.184*(T-26.5)= 80.5*1000

T-26.5=48.1

T= 48.1+26.5= 74.6 deg.c

mass of water= 400 gm, volume of water= mass/density, density= 1 g/cc, volume of water= mass/density= 400/1= 400ml =400/1000 L=0.4L

molarity = moles/Volume= 8/(39*0.4)= 0.5128M

The reaction between KOH and H2SO4 is 2KOH+ H2SO4------->K2SO4+H2O

moles of KOH= 8/39=0.205, moles of H2SO4 as per the reaction = 0.5 times H2SO4= 0.5* 0.205= 0.1025 moles

Volume of H2SO4(l) =moles sof H2SO4/molarity =0.1025/0.665=0.1541 L= 0.1541*1000=154.1 ml
