Q: A coffee cup calorimeter is used to measure the enthalpy change of a reaction. If 100 g of water absorbs 836 J of heat and the temperature increases by 2 °C, what is the specific heat capacity of water based on this experiment? Use $$q = m c riangle T.$$

$$c = \frac{q}{m \triangle T} = \frac{836}{100 \times 2} = 4.18\ \mathrm{J/g\cdot ^\circ C}$$

Q: Which of the following is true regarding the application of Hess's Law?

Multiplying a reaction by a factor multiplies $$\triangle H by $$the same factor.

Q: A solution has $$[H^+] = 1.0 \times 10$$^{-5}$$\ \mathrm{M}. $$What is its pH?

$$pH = -\log(1.0 \times 10$$^{-5}$$) = 5$$

Question 1

A coffee cup calorimeter is used to measure the enthalpy change of a reaction. If 100 g of water absorbs 836 J of heat and the temperature increases by 2 °C, what is the specific heat capacity of water based on this experiment? Use $$q = m c 	riangle T.$$

Question 8

Which of the following is the correct relationship between $$K_w$$, $$K_a$$, and $$K_b$$ for a conjugate acid-base pair?

Accepted Answer

$$K_w = K_a 	imes K_b$$

Question 9

A buffer is made by mixing 0.10 mol of acetic acid (HA) and 0.10 mol of sodium acetate (A$$^-) in 1.0 L of $$water. If the $$pK_a of $$acetic acid is 4.76, what is the pH of the buffer? Use the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation.
