- A student transferred 50.0 ml 1.00 M HCl into a coffee-cup calorimeter, which had a temperature of 25.5 °C. He then added this to 50.0 ml 1.00 M NaOH which also had a temperature of 25.5 °C and stirred the mixture quickly. The resulting solution was found to have a temperature of 32.5 °C. The calorimeter constant for the coffee-cup calorimeter used was 15.0 J/°C. Calculate the heat of reaction. Please include the full solution.arrow_forwardWhen a solid dissolves in water, heat may be evolved or absorbed. The heat of dissolution (dissolving) can be determined using a coffee cup calorimeter. In the laboratory a general chemistry student finds that when 5.26 g of CsClO4(s) are dissolved in 103.30 g of water, the temperature of the solution drops from 22.98 to 19.81 °C. The heat capacity of the calorimeter (sometimes referred to as the calorimeter constant) was determined in a separate experiment to be 1.79 J/°C. Based on the student's observation, calculate the enthalpy of dissolution of CsClO4(s) in kJ/mol.

- A student is attempting to determine the heat capacity of a Styrofoam cup calorimeter by pouring hot water into a Styrofoam cup containing cold water. The student determined the mass of the cold water to be 21.2455 g and its initial temperature to be 20.36 °C. The mass of the hot water was 24.2646 g and its initial temperature as 34.54 °C. The final temperature of the water after mixing was determined to be 24.57°C. The specific heat capacity of the water is 4.184 J/(g•°C). What is the heat capacity of the Styrofoam cup calorimeter?
