When 0.243 g of mg metal is combined with enough hcl to make 100 ml of solution in a constant-pressure calorimeter, the following reaction occurs: mg(s) + 2 hcl(aq) → mgcl2(aq) + h2(g) if the temperature of the solution increases from 23.0 ºc to 34.1 ºc as a result of this reaction, calculate δh in kj/mol of mg. assume that the solution has a specific heat of 4.18 j/g−ºc.

ΔH = - 464 kJ/mol  

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of Mg = 0.243 grams

volume of solution = 100 mL

Initial temperature = 23.0 °C

Final temperature = 34.1 °C

Specific heat = 4.18 J/g°C

Step 2: Calculate the heat transfer

Q= m*c*ΔT

⇒ m = the mass of the solution = 100 grams

⇒ c = the specific heat of the solution = 4.18 J/g°C

⇒ ΔT = The change in temperature = T2 - T1 = 34.1 - 23.0 = 11.1 °C

Q = 100 g * 4.18 J/g°C * 11.1°C

Q = 4639.8 J

Step 3: Calculate moles of Mg

Moles Mg = 0.243 grams / 24.3 g/mol

Moles Mg = 0.01 moles

Step 4: Calculate  ΔH

ΔH = 4639.8 J / 0.01 moles

ΔH = 463980 J/mol = 464 kJ/mol

(4.6398 kJ) / (0.0099979 mol) = 464 kJ/mol  

Since the reaction is exothermic, the ΔH is negative by convention, so:

ΔH = - 464 kJ/mol  

acid rain does not usually kill trees directly. instead, it is more likely to weaken the trees by damaging their leaves, limiting the nutrients available to them, or poisoning them with toxic substances slowly released from the soil. the main atmospheric pollutants that affect trees are nitrates and sulphates.
