When 0.740g sample trinitrotoluene (TNT), C7H5N2O6, is burned in a bomb calorimeter, the temperature increases from 23.4ËšC to 26.9ËšC. The heat capacity of the calorimeter is 534J/ËšC, and it contains 675ml of water. How much heat was produced by the combustion of TNT sample?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The heat of the combustion for this reaction is 1.18 × 104J.

Step by step solution

01

Given data

The mass of the TNT = 0.740 g

The increase in the temperature (∆T) = (26.9 – 23.4)˚C = 3.5˚C

The heat capacity of the calorimeter (C) = 534 J/ËšC

02

Calculation of heat

The formula that is used in finding the heat of the combustion (q) in a bomb calorimeter is:

(qbomb) = C × ∆T, where the symbols have their usual meaning. = 534 J/˚C × 3.5˚C

= 1869 J

The formula that is used in finding the heat from water is (qwater) = ms∆T, where the symbols have their usual meaning.

qwater = 675 g × 4.184 J/g℃ × 3.5℃

= 9884.7 J

Therefore, the heat of the reaction (qreaction) = qbomb+ qwater

= 9884.7 J + 1869 J

= 1.18 × 104 J

When 1.34 g Zn(s) reacts with 60.0 mL of 0.750 M HCl(aq), 3.14 kJ of heat are produced. Determine the enthalpy change per mole of zinc reacting for the reaction:

\({\bf{Zn(s) + 2HCl(aq)}} \to {\bf{ZnC}}{{\bf{l}}_{\bf{2}}}{\bf{(aq) + }}{{\bf{H}}_{\bf{2}}}{\bf{(g)}}\)

In the early days of automobiles, illumination at night was provided by burning acetylene, C2H2. Though no longer used as auto headlamps, acetylene is still used as a source of light by some cave explorers. The acetylene is (was) prepared in the lamp by the reaction of water with calcium carbide, CaC2:

\({\bf{Ca}}{{\bf{C}}_{\bf{2}}}\left( {\bf{s}} \right){\bf{ + 2}}{{\bf{H}}_{\bf{2}}}{\bf{O}}\left( {\bf{l}} \right) \to {\bf{Ca}}{\left( {{\bf{OH}}} \right)_{\bf{2}}}\left( {\bf{s}} \right){\bf{ + }}{{\bf{C}}_{\bf{2}}}{{\bf{H}}_{\bf{2}}}\left( {\bf{g}} \right)\)

Calculate the standard enthalpy of the reaction. The \({\bf{\Delta H}}_{\bf{f}}^{\bf{o}}\)of CaC2is -15.14 kcal/mol.

Calculate the enthalpy of solution (∆H for the dissolution) per mole of CaCl2(refer to Exercise 5.25).

The following sequence of reactions occurs in the commercial production of aqueous nitric acid:

4NH3(g) + 5O2(g)⟶4NO(g) + 6H2O(l) ΔH= −907 kJ

2NO(g) + O2(²µ)⟶2±·°¿2(g) ΔH= −113 kJ

3NO2 + H2°¿(±ô)⟶2±á±·°¿3(aq) + NO(g) ΔH= −139 kJ

Determine the total energy change for the production of one mole of aqueous nitric acid by this process.

How many milliliters of water at 23 °C with a density of 1.00 g/mL must be mixed with 180 mL (about 6 oz) of coffee at 95 °C so that the resulting combination will have a temperature of 60 °C? Assume that coffee and water have the same density and the same specific heat.
