13b Thermochemistry II

When 100 cm³ of 1.0 mol dm⁻³ of sodium hydroxide is added to 100 cm³ of 1.0 mol dm⁻³ of hydrochloric acid, the temperature rises by 7°C. Which of the following mixtures will produce an increment of 14°C in temperature?

A student carries out an experiment to determine the heat of combustion of propanol. Which of the following information does he need in order to calculate the heat of combustion?

Which of the following acid releases the highest amount of heat when reacted with excess sodium hydroxide?

The figure shows the set-up of apparatus to determine heat of combustion of ethanol. A student found that the heat of combustion obtained is less than the theoretical value. What can be done to improve the experimental value?

When 50 cm³ of 1.0 mol dm⁻³ nitric acid is mixed with 50 cm³ of 1.0 mol dm⁻³ sodium hydroxide solution the temperature increases by 6.0 °C . What is the temperature change if the experiment is repeated using 50 cm³ of 2.0 mol dm⁻³ nitric acid with 50 cm³ of 2.0 mol dm⁻³ sodium hydroxide?

In a neutralization reaction, 50 cm³ of 1.0 mole dm⁻³ nitric acid reacted with
50 cm³ of 1.0 mole dm⁻³ sodium hydroxide solution. Which of the following
acids can replace 50 cm³ of 1.0 mole dm⁻³ nitric acid to release the same quantity
of heat?

Combustion of propane in excess oxygen can be represented by the equation
below.

C₃H₈ + 5O₂ → 3CO₂ + 4H₂O         ∆H = -y kJ/mol

Which of the following statements are true?

Below are two thermochemical equations for the neutralization process.

KOH + HNO₃ → KNO₃ + H₂O         ∆H = -57kJ/mol

KOH + CH₃COOH → CH₃COOK + H₂O         ∆H = -55kJ/mol

The value of the heat of neutralization for both processes are different because

The burning of 0.6 g of X causes the temperature of 100 cm³ water to increase by 12^oC. What is the heat of combustion of X?
[ relative molecular mass of X = 60; specific heat capacity of water = 4.2 J g^{-1 o}C^-1]
