Question 1

Marks: 1

A student mixed 30.0 cm³of 0.0250 mol dm^-3potassium hydroxide solution with 30.0 cm³of 0.0250 mol dm^-3 nitric acid. The temperature rose by 0.50 ^oC. Assume no heat was lost to the surroundings.

The mixture had a specific heat capacity of 4.18 J g ^-1 K^-1.

What is the molar enthalpy change for the reaction?

$- \frac{30 \times 4.18 \times 0.5 \times 1000}{0.025 \times 30}$
$- \frac{60 \times 4.18 \times 0.5}{0.025 \times 30}$
$- \frac{0.025 \times 30}{60 \times 4.18 \times 0.5 \times 1000}$
$- \frac{60 \times 4.18 \times 0.5}{0.025 \times 30}$

Question 2

Marks: 1

An experiment was carried out to determine the approximate value for the molar enthalpy change of neutralisation.

75 cm³ of 3.00 mol dm^–3 hydrochloric acid was placed in a polystyrene beaker of negligible heat capacity. Its temperature was recorded, and then 75 cm³ of
3.00 mol dm⁻³potassium hydroxide at the same temperature was quickly added, and the solution stirred.

The temperature rose by 14 °C. The resulting solution may be considered to have a specific heat capacity of 4.18 J g^-1K^-1.

Which calculation below is correct?

$- \frac{(75 \times 4.18 \times 14)}{(6.0 \times 0.150)}$ J mol^-1
$- \frac{(150 \times 4.18 \times 14)}{(3.0 \times 0.075)}$ J mol^-1
$- \frac{(150 \times 4.18 \times 14)}{(3.0 \times 75.0)}$ J mol^-1
$- \frac{(75 \times 4.18 \times 287)}{(6.0 \times 0.150)}$ J mol^-1
