A 0.1375-g sample of magnesium is burned in a constant-volume bomb calorimeter that has a heat capacity of 1769 J 0 c-1. The calorimeter contains exactly 300 g of water, and the temperature increases by l.1 26°C. Calculate the heat given off by the burning magnesium, in kJ g-1 and in kJ moJ-1

Respuesta :

Answer: 1) 24.76 kJ/g

2)  597.4 kJ/mol

Explanation:

Let the heat released during reaction be q.

[tex]q=m\times c\times \Delta T[/tex]

q = Heat gained by water

m = Mass of water= 300 g

c = Heat capacity of water = 4.184 J/g°C

Change in temperature = ΔT = 1.126 °C

[tex]q=300\times 4.184\times 1.126=1413.3J[/tex]

Heat gained by bomb calorimeter = [tex]q_{cal}[/tex]

Heat capacity of bomb calorimeter , C = 1769J/g°C

Change in temperature = ΔT'= 1.126 °C

[tex]q_{cal}=m_{cal}\times c_{cal}\times \Delta T=C_{bomb}\times \Delta T=1769\times 1.126=1991.9J[/tex]

Total heat released during reaction is equal to total heat gained by water and bomb calorimeter.

[tex]q_{combustion}=-(q_{water}+q_{cal}[/tex]

[tex]q_{combustion}=-(1413.3+1991.9)J[/tex]

[tex]q=3405J=-3.405kJ[/tex]

Thus 0.1375 g of magnesium releases 3.405 kJ of heat

1 g of magnesium releases =[tex]\frac{3.405}{0.1375}\times 1=24.76kJ[/tex] of heat

Thus heat given off by the burning magnesium, in kJ/g is 24.76.

Moles of magnesium =[tex]\frac{0.1375g}{24g/mol}=5.7\times 10^{-3}mol[/tex]

[tex]5.7\times 10^{-3}[/tex]  moles of magnesium releases 3.405 kJ of heat

1 mole of magnesium releases =[tex]\frac{3.405}{5.7\times 10^{-3}}\times 1=597.4 kJ[/tex] of heat

Thus heat given off by the burning magnesium, in kJ/mol is 597.4.
