1/ A spirit burner containing propan-1-ol is used to heat up a beaker of water
(400cm3)from 20°C to 70°C.
(Given: Specific heat capacity of water (c)=4.2Jg-1K-1;density of water=1gcm^ -3
;standard enthalpy change of formation of [propan-1-ol(l)]= -2010kJmol^ -1)
a/ Calculate the theoretical mass of propan-1-ol needed for the heating process.
b/ Would you expect a larger or smaller actual mass of propan-1-ol needed?
c/ Explain your answer in part(b).
2/A65.00cm3 sample of 0.5M sulphuric acid at 25.0°Cwas mixed with 50.00cm 3 of 0.90M potassium hydroxide solution at 25°C in a simple calorimeter.The
highest temperature recorded after mixing was 30.3°C
(Assume that the specific heat capacity and the density of the resultant solution are 4.2Jg^ -1K^ -1 and 1.0gcm-3 respectively,and there is no heat lost to the
surroundings.)
a/ Write an equation for the reaction.
b/ Define 'standard enthalpy change of neutralization'.
c/ Write an equation that can represent standard enthalpy change of
neutralization between sulphuric acid and potassium hydroxide.
d/ Determine standard enthalpy change of neutralization between sulphuric acid and potassium hydroxide.
3/ When 80.0g of sodium hydroxide(NaOH) was added to 850cm3 of water at
23.0°C, the temperature of the water rose to28.5°C after the NaOH had
dissolved.
(Assume that the specific heat capacity and the density of the resultant solution are 4.2Jg^ -1K^ -1 and 1.0gcm^ -3 respectively, and there is no heat lost to the
surroundings.)
a/ Is the dissolving process of NaOH endothermic or exothermic?
b/ How much energy is absorbed by the water?
c/ Hence, calculate the standard enthalpy change of solution of NaOH.
