Question
A student mixes two aqueous solutions, whose masses are 30.0 g and 35.0 g, together. Each solution is initially at a temperature of 25.0°C. Upon mixing the solutions, a chemical reaction occurs. The final solution has a temperature of 30.0°C. What is the heat change, in kJ, for this reaction?
a) 5.25 kJ
b) 1360 kJ
c) 1.36 kJ
d) 1.95 kJ
a) 5.25 kJ
b) 1360 kJ
c) 1.36 kJ
d) 1.95 kJ
Answers
So the final solution is 65 g that has changed T from 25.0 to 30.0.
q = mass x specific heat x (Tfinal - Tinitial)
q = 65 x 4.18 J/g*C x (Tfinal - Tinitial)
Convert to kJ.
q = mass x specific heat x (Tfinal - Tinitial)
q = 65 x 4.18 J/g*C x (Tfinal - Tinitial)
Convert to kJ.
