When 15.0 g of a salt was dissolved in 68.8 g of ethyl alcohol, the temperature of the solution decreased from 25.0 °c to 6.0 °c. the specific heat capacity for ethyl alcohol is 2.440 j/g°c. calculate the heat of reaction (∆h) in units of kj/g. (equation 1 and equation 2 will be .)

Explanation:

As we know that,

It is given that, = 15 g of salt,   = 68.8 g of ethanol

Therefore, total mass is as follows.

    Total mass =

                       = (15 + 68.8) g

                       = 83.8  g

Also, change in temperature is as follows.

              dT =

                    =

Now, the relation between heat energy, specific heat and mass is as follows.

               Q =

                   =

                   = -3884.968 J

Therefore, heat of the reaction is as follows.

                       =

                      = 258.99 J/g

As 1 J = 0.001 kJ. So, heat of reaction in kJ is 0.2589 kJ/g.

Thus, we can conclude that heat of reaction is 0.2589 kJ/g.

the old alchemists made significant contributions to science even though there starting premises were off a bit. their conclusions after failure would steer them into better directions for investigation. science is no more than close observation and the initial mistakes result in rethinking and retrying experiments.

hurricanes form when warm, moist air from the ocean surface quickly rises into the atmosphere and forms storm clouds and rain. when the clouds are formed, heat is released which warms the cool air in the upper regions of the atmosphere so that the cycle can continue. which two phases of the water cycle are repeated in this process?
