When a 3.25 g sample of solid sodium hydroxide was dissolved in a calorimeter in 100.0 g of water, the temperature rose from 23.9 °C to 32.0 °C. Calculate ∆H (in kJ/mol) for the solution process: NaOH (s) → Na+ (aq) + OH- (aq)
Use a calorimeter heat capacity of Ccal = 15.8 J/°C

Respuesta :

Answer : The enthalpy change for the solution is 42.8 kJ/mol

Explanation :

Heat released by the reaction = Heat absorbed by the calorimeter + Heat absorbed by the water

[tex]q=[q_1+q_2][/tex]

[tex]q=[c_1\times \Delta T+m\times c_2\times \Delta T][/tex]

where,

q = heat released by the reaction

[tex]q_1[/tex] = heat absorbed by the calorimeter

[tex]q_2[/tex] = heat absorbed by the water

[tex]c_1[/tex] = specific heat of calorimeter = [tex]15.8J/^oC[/tex]

[tex]c_2[/tex] = specific heat of water = [tex]4.18J/g^oC[/tex]

[tex]m[/tex] = mass of water = 100.0 g

[tex]\Delta T[/tex] = change in temperature = [tex]T_2-T_1=(32.0-23.9)=8.1^oC[/tex]

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

[tex]q=[(15.8J/^oC\times 8.1^oC)+(100.0g\times 4.18J/g^oC\times 8.1^oC)][/tex]

[tex]q=3513.8J=3.5138kJ[/tex]        (1 kJ = 1000 J)

Now we have to calculate the enthalpy change for the solution.

[tex]\Delta H=\frac{q}{n}[/tex]

where,

[tex]\Delta H[/tex] = enthalpy change = ?

q = heat released = 3.5138 kJ

m = mass of NaOH = 3.25 g

Molar mass of NaOH = 40 g/mole

[tex]\text{Moles of }NaOH=\frac{\text{Mass of }NaOH}{\text{Molar mass of }NaOH}=\frac{3.25g}{40g/mole}=0.0812mole[/tex]

Now,

[tex]\Delta H=\frac{3.5138kJ}{0.0821mole}=42.8kJ/mol[/tex]

Therefore, the enthalpy change for the solution is 42.8 kJ/mol

The [tex]\rm \Delta H[/tex] for the reaction is 42.8 kJ/mol.

[tex]\rm \Delta H\;=\;\frac{q}{n}[/tex]

q = heat released by the reaction

= heat absorbed by calorimeter + heat absorbed by water

= heat capacity of calorimeter [tex]\times[/tex] change in temperature + mass of water [tex]\times[/tex] heat capacity of water [tex]\times[/tex] change in temperature

= 15.8 J[tex]\rm /^\circ C[/tex] [tex]\times[/tex] (32 - 29 [tex]\rm ^\circ C[/tex] ) + 100 g [tex]\times[/tex] 4.18 J[tex]\rm /^\circ C[/tex] [tex]\times[/tex] (32 - 29 [tex]\rm ^\circ C[/tex])

= 3513.8 J

q = 3.5138 kJ

n = moles of NaOH

moles of NaOH = [tex]\rm \frac{weight}{molecular\;weight}[/tex]

moles of NaOH = [tex]\rm \frac{3.25}{40}[/tex]

n = 0.0812 moles

[tex]\rm \Delta H\;=\;\frac{q}{n}[/tex]

[tex]\rm \Delta H\;=\;\frac{3.15}{0.08}[/tex] kJ/mol

[tex]\rm \Delta[/tex]H = 42.8 kJ/mol.
