The combustion of 0.590 g of benzoic acid (ΔHcomb = 3,228 kJ/mol; MW = 122.12 g/mol) in a bomb calorimeter increased the temperature of the calorimeter by 2.125naughtC. The chamber was then emptied and recharged with 1.400 g of glucose (MW = 180.16 g/mol) and excess oxygen. How much did the temperature change from the combustion of the glucose? ΔHcomb for glucose is 2,780 kJ/mol.

Respuesta :

Answer:

2.943 °C temperature change from the combustion of the glucose has been taken place.

Explanation:

Heat released on combustion of Benzoic acid; :

Enthaply of combustion of benzoic acid = 3,228 kJ/mol  

Mass of benzoic acid = 0.590 g

Moles of benzoic acid = [tex]\frac{0.590 g}{122.12 g/mol}=0.004831 mol[/tex]

Energy released by 0.004831 moles of benzoic acid on combustion:

[tex]Q=3,228 kJ/mol \times 0.004831 mol=15.5955 kJ=15,595.5 J[/tex]

Heat capacity of the calorimeter = C  

Change in temperature of the calorimeter = ΔT = 2.125°C

[tex]Q=C\times \Delta T[/tex]

[tex]15,595.5 J=C\times 2.125^oC[/tex]

[tex]C=7,339.05 J/^oC[/tex]

Heat released on combustion of Glucose: :

Enthaply of combustion of glucose= 2,780 kJ/mol.

Mass of glucose=1.400 g

Moles of glucose =[tex]\frac{1.400 g}{180.16 g/mol}=0.007771 mol[/tex]

Energy released by the 0.007771 moles of calorimeter  combustion:

[tex]Q'=2,780 kJ/mol \times 0.007771 mol=21.6030 kJ=21,603.01 J[/tex]

Heat capacity of the calorimeter = C (calculated above)

Change in temperature of the calorimeter on combustion of glucose = ΔT'

[tex]Q'=C\times \Delta T'[/tex]

[tex]21,603.01 J=7,339.05 J/^oC\times \Delta T'[/tex]

[tex]\Delta T'=2.943^oC[/tex]

2.943 °C temperature change from the combustion of the glucose has been taken place.
