Question

Part A - Measuring H Using a Coffee-Cup Calorimeter

When 0.243 g of Mg metal is combined with enough HCl to make 100 mL of solution in a constant-pressure calorimeter, the following reaction occurs:

Mg(s) + 2 HCl(aq) MgCl2(aq) + H2(g)

If the temperature of the solution increases from 23.0 C to 34.1 C as a result of this reaction, calculate H in kJ/mol of Mg. Assume that the solution has a specific heat of 4.18 J/gC.

When 0.243  of  metal is combined with enough  to make 100  of solution in a constant-pressure calorimeter, the following reaction occurs:

If the temperature of the solution increases from 23.0  to 34.1  as a result of this reaction, calculate  in  of . Assume that the solution has a specific heat of 4.18 . Select one

19.1 kJ/mol 111 kJ/mol 191 kJ/mol 464 kJ/mol

Explanation / Answer

Supposing the solution's density to be the same as that of water:

q = m Cp dT

q= (4.18 J/gC) x (100 g) x (34.1 - 23.0)C

= 4639.8 J

moles of Mg = 0.243 / 24.30506 = 0.0099979

for 0.0099979 Mg heat

(4.6398 kJ) / (0.0099979 mol) = 464 kJ/mol

Since the reaction is exothermic, the H is negative by convention,

H = - 464 kJ/mol
