Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The variation in the results of the experiment has to be given if the reaction was endothermic.
Concept Introduction:
Calorimetry can be defined as the measurement of changes in heat.
Two types of Calorimetry are coffee cup calorimeter and bomb calorimeter.
The change in heat of the system can be determined with the value of the heat capacity of the calorimeter.
The heat capacity of the calorimeter can be given as,
Exothermic and Endothermic reactions:
Heat is flow of thermal energy involving two bodies at various temperatures. The flow of thermal energy involving two bodies at various temperatures is called as heat. The flow of heat implies that energy is either released or absorbed on describing about energy changes that takes place during a process.
Exothermic process is the chemical process in which heat is released to the surroundings.
Endothermic process is the chemical process in which heat is absorbed from the surroundings.

- The lead-acid storage battery is the oldest rechargeable battery in existence. It was invented in 1859 by French physician Gaston Plante and still retains application todaY, more than 150 years later. There are two reactions that take place during discharge of the lead-acid storage battery. In one step, sulfuric acid decomposes to form sulfur trioxide and water: H, SO,() – SO;(9) + H,O() AH-+113. kJ In another step, lead, lead(IV) oxide, and sulfur trioxide react to form lead(II) sulfate: Pb(s) – PbO,(s) - 2 S0, (g) → 2 PbSO,(s) AH= -775. J Calculate the net change in enthalpy for the formation of one mole of lead(II) sulfate from lead, lead(IV) oxide, and sulfuric acid from these reactions.
