trichloromethane ________
methanol ________
The previous example dealt with a physical change, the transfer of heat from
one body to another, qmetal = - qliquid.
Chemical reactions also result in a change in temperature and transfer of heat:
qsystem = - qsurroundings where the system is the reaction and the surroundings is
the calorimeter used to measure the change in temperature.
For reactions taking place in solution, a coffee cup calorimeter can be used to
determine the heat of reaction, qsystem which is the same as the enthalpy change
Hrxn, since it measured under conditions of constant external pressure (1 atm).
2. 50 grams of KCl at 27.0oC is dissolved in 100 mL of 27.0oC water in a coffee
cup calorimeter. What is the final temperature of the salt solution? Assume that
the heat capacity of the solution is 4.184 J/goC.
(Formula weight of KCl = 74.55 g/mol)
KCl (s) K+ (aq) + Cl- (aq)
H = 4.1 kJ/mol
PE
Fill in the energy levels of the reactants and products in the energy diagram.
The heat of reaction for combustion reactions can be measured using a bomb
calorimeter. This is a rigid steel container with a combustion source that is
surrounded by a water bath. The sample is burned in an oxygen atmosphere
and the heat given off by the reaction raises the temperature of the calorimeter.
3. The heat of combustion of sucrose (C12H24O12) in a bomb calorimeter is
-3840 kJ/mol.
______ C12H22O11 (s) + ______ O2 (g) ______ CO2 (g) + ______ H2O (g)
Balance the reaction.
When 20 grams of sucrose is burned, the temperature of the calorimeter rises by
9.7oC. What is the heat capacity (C) of the calorimeter?
(molar mass of sucrose = 360.3 g/mol)
qsys = _________
The difference is the work done by the expansion of the gases when they are not
confined to a bomb calorimeter.
