Question
A reaction between Mg and aqueous hydrochloric acid was performed to determine the heat of the reaction. A
calorimeter with a heat capacity of 6.5 J/K was used. To the calorimeter 50.0 mL of 1.0 M HCI was added, the initial
temperature was recorded and then 0.250 g of magnesium metal was added. The final temperature was then recorded.
(Assume density of the solution is 1.03 g/mL; q = MCAT ; molar mass Mg = 24.31 g/mol; specific heat capacity of
water = 4.184 J/g.K; q calorimeter = heat capacity x AT). The following data was recorded:Initial temperature:21.5°c
; Final Temperature: 45.1°c
Calculate
calorimeter (J)
q solution (J)
total amount of heat released (J),
mol
Mg,
enthalpy of reaction in kJ/molor (q total/mol Mg). Just put the
numerical values since units are already indicated. For the question, amount of heat released,
there is no need to put the negative sign.
