Insoluble PbBr2(s) precipitates when solutions of Pb(NO3)2(aq) and NaBr(aq) are mixed. Pb(NO3)2(aq) + 2 NaBr(aq) PbBr2(s) + 2 NaNO3(aq) rH = ? To measure the enthalpy change, 200. mL. of 0.75 M Pb(NO3)2(aq) and 200. mL of 1.5 M NaBr(aq) are mixed in a coffee-cup calorimeter. The temperature of the mixture rises by 2.44 C. Calculate the enthalpy change for the precipitation of PbBr2(s), in kJ/mol. (Assume the density of the solution is 1.0 g/mL., and its specific heat capacity is 4.2 J/g K.)

In a bomb calorimeter, the reaction vessel is surrounded by water that must be added for each experiment. Since the amount of water is not constant from experiment to experiment, the mass of water must be measured in each case. The heat capacity of the calorimeter is broken down into two parts: the water and the calorimeter components. If a calorimeter contains 1.00 kg water and has a total heat capacity of 10.84 kJ/C, what is the heat capacity of the calorimeter components?
