Question

Transcribed Image Text:In a simple calorimeter, a piece of metal weighing 48.67 g was heated to 120.0 °C and then put it into 100.0 mL
of water (initially at 23.7 °C). The metal and water were allowed to come to an equilibrium temperature,
determined to be 27.8 °C. Assuming no heat lost to the environment, calculate the specific heat of the metal.
Is this process endothermic or exothermic? Explain.

- A 6.61g sample of an unknown salt (MM=116.82g//mol) is dissolved in 150.00g water in a coffee cup calorimeter. Before placing the sample in the water, the temperature of the salt and water is 23.72 C. After the salt has completely dissolved, the temperature of the solution is 28.54 C. Given that 156.61 g of solution increased in temperature by 4.82 °C, what quantity of heat, in J, was gained by the solution?

- 1. A thermometer placed in a solution undergoing a chemical reaction indicates an increase in temperature as the reaction proceeds. Is this reaction endothermic or exothermic? Describe if heat energy is lost or gained from the reaction (the system) to the surroundings. What is the sign of the enthalpy change (AH) of this reaction? 2. A student performs a reaction and determines the enthalpy change (AH) to be 31.4 kJ. Will the temperature of the surrounding solution increase or decrease as a result of this chemical process? 3.

Which kind of reaction is this and why? It is exothermic because heat needs to be released by the reactants to form the products. It is endothermic because heat needs to be released by the reactants to form the products It is exothermic because heat needs to be absorbed by the reactants to form the products. It is endothermic because heat needs to be absorbed by the reactants to form the products.arrow_forward
