Question 1 (Strontium Oxide Reaction)
Step1: Calculate mass of solution
Mass of water = volume × density = \( 48.96\space mL × 1.000\space g/mL = 48.96\space g \)
Mass of \( SrO = 1.701\space g \)
Total mass of solution (\( m \)) = \( 48.96 + 1.701 = 50.661\space g \)
Step2: Calculate heat absorbed by solution (\( q \))
Using \( q = mc\Delta T \), where \( c = 3.97\space J/(\degree C·g) \), \( \Delta T = 30.92 - 20.21 = 10.71\space \degree C \)
\( q = 50.661\space g × 3.97\space J/(\degree C·g) × 10.71\space \degree C \)
\( q = 50.661×3.97×10.71 ≈ 2170.5\space J = 2.1705\space kJ \) (exothermic, so \( q_{reaction} = -q_{solution} \))
Step3: Calculate moles of \( SrO \)
Molar mass of \( SrO = 87.62 + 16.00 = 103.62\space g/mol \)
Moles (\( n \)) = \( \frac{1.701\space g}{103.62\space g/mol} ≈ 0.01642\space mol \)
Step4: Calculate molar enthalpy change (\( \Delta H \))
\( \Delta H = \frac{q_{reaction}}{n} = \frac{-2.1705\space kJ}{0.01642\space mol} ≈ -132 \)
Question 2 (Acetone Combustion)
Step1: Calculate heat absorbed by calorimeter (\( q \))
Using \( q = C\Delta T \), where \( C = 13.05\space kJ/\degree C \), \( \Delta T = 24.74 - 20.03 = 4.71\space \degree C \)
\( q = 13.05\space kJ/\degree C × 4.71\space \degree C ≈ 61.4655\space kJ \) (exothermic, \( q_{reaction} = -61.4655\space kJ \))
Step2: Calculate moles of acetone (\( CH_3COCH_3 \))
Molar mass of acetone = \( 3×12.01 + 6×1.008 + 16.00 = 58.08\space g/mol \)
Moles (\( n \)) = \( \frac{2.048\space g}{58.08\space g/mol} ≈ 0.03526\space mol \)
Step3: Calculate heat per mole
\( \Delta H = \frac{q_{reaction}}{n} = \frac{-61.4655\space kJ}{0.03526\space mol} ≈ -1743 \)
