Q: A student mixes 50.0 mL of 1.0 M HCl with 50.0 mL of 1.0 M NaOH in a calorimeter. The temperature rises from $$22.0\ ^\circ\mathrm{C} to$$ $$28.5\ ^\circ\mathrm{C}. $$Assuming the density of the solution is $$1.00\ \mathrm{g/mL}$$ and the specific heat is $$4.18\ \mathrm{J/(g\cdot{}^{\circ}C)}$$, what is the heat absorbed by the solution ($$q_{\mathrm{water}}) in kJ$$?

$$q_{\mathrm{water}} = 100.0\ \mathrm{g} \times 4.18\ \mathrm{J/(g\cdot{}^{\circ}C)} \times (28.5 - 22.0)\ ^\circ\mathrm{C} = 100.0 \times 4.18 \times 6.5 = 2717\ \mathrm{J} = 2.72\ \mathrm{kJ}$$

Q: A student dissolves $$2.00\ \mathrm{g} of $$NaOH(s) in $$100.0\ \mathrm{mL} of $$water. The temperature increases by $$5.0\ ^\circ\mathrm{C}. $$What is the enthalpy change per mole of NaOH ($$\Delta H) $$for this process? (Specific heat $$= 4.18\ \mathrm{J/(g\cdot{}^{\circ}C)}$$, molar mass of NaOH $$= 40.0\ \mathrm{g/mol}$$, assume density $$= 1.00\ \mathrm{g/mL})$$

$$q = 100.0\ \mathrm{g} \times 4.18\ \mathrm{J/(g\cdot{}^{\circ}C)} \times 5.0\ ^\circ\mathrm{C} = 2090\ \mathrm{J}$$; $$\mathrm{mol\ NaOH} = 2.00/40.0 = 0.0500$$; $$\Delta H = -2090/0.0500 = -41,800\ \mathrm{J/mol} = -41.8\ \mathrm{kJ/mol}$$

Question 6

Why is the heat capacity of the calorimeter ($$q_{\mathrm{calorimeter}}) $$often neglected in introductory calorimetry experiments?
