Question

You add a Mg pellet weighing 0.085 g to 7.52 mL of 3 M HCl contained in a foam calorimeter and measure a temperature change of 41.5 oC. What is delta Hrxn in kJ/mol ?

Answer 1

Answer: A 0.86 mol sample of a substance is burned in a bomb calorimeter with a heat capacity of 11.23 kJ/C. The temperature increases by 14.93 C. What is ΔHrxn (in kJ/mol) for the combustion of the substance? Note: please record answer to two decimal places regardless of sig figs
