A student runs two experiments with a constant-volume "bomb" calorimeter containing 1500.g of water.

First, a 7.500g tablet of benzoic acid C6H5CO2H is put into the "bomb" and burned completely in an excess of oxygen. (Benzoic acid is known to have a heat of combustion of 26.454 kJ/g.) The temperature of the water is observed to rise from 10.00°C to 36.99°C over a time of 13.0 minutes.

Next, 5.260g of ethanol C2H5OH are put into the "bomb" and similarly completely burned in an excess of oxygen. This time the temperature of the water rises from 10.00°C to 28.03°C.

Use this information, to answer the questions below about this reaction:

C2H5OH(l)+ 3O2(g)→ 2CO2(g)+ 3H2O(g)

a. Is this reaction exothermic, endothermic, or neither?
b. If you said the reaction was exothermic or endothermic, calculate the amount of heat that was released or absorbed by the reaction in the second experiment.
c. Calculate the reaction enthalpy ΔHrxn per mole of CO2

The small bags of silica gel you often see in a new shoe box are placed there to control humidity. despite its name, silica gel is a solid. it is a chemically inert, highly porous, amorphous form of sio2. because water vapor readily adsorbs onto the surface of silica gel, it acts as a desiccant. despite not knowing mechanistic details of the adsorption of water onto silica gel, from the information provided you should be able to make an educated guess about the thermodynamic characteristics of the process. predict the signs for δg, δh, and δs for the adsorption of water.
