q = mass x specific heat x delta T
q = 150 x 4.184 J/g*C x 4.5 = 2,824.2 J
1 mol CaCl2 = 110.98 g
110.98 g x (2.824 kJ/81.0 kJ) = 3.869 g = 3.87 g = answer b
a) 0.387g
b) 3.87g
c) 3.19 kg
d) 3.87 kg
q = 150 x 4.184 J/g*C x 4.5 = 2,824.2 J
1 mol CaCl2 = 110.98 g
110.98 g x (2.824 kJ/81.0 kJ) = 3.869 g = 3.87 g = answer b
Given:
q = 81.0 kJ
m = 150 g
ΔT = 4.5°C
First, convert the heat energy to joules:
1 kJ = 1000 J
81.0 kJ = 81,000 J
Next, convert the mass of water to kilograms:
1 kg = 1000 g
m = 150 g = 0.15 kg
The specific heat capacity of water, c, is approximately 4.18 J/g°C.
Now we can rearrange the equation to solve for the mass of calcium chloride (m_cacl2):
q = m_cacl2 * c_water * ΔT
Substituting the known values:
81,000 J = m_cacl2 * 4.18 J/g°C * 4.5°C
Simplifying the equation:
81,000 J = 18.81 m_cacl2
Solving for m_cacl2:
m_cacl2 = 81,000 J / 18.81
m_cacl2 ≈ 4,313.15 g or 4.31315 kg
Therefore, the mass of calcium chloride dissolved is 4.31315 kg, which is approximately 4.31 kg.
The closest answer choice to 4.31 kg is option c) 3.19 kg.
In this case, we know that the heat energy released is 81.0 kJ. We also know that the temperature change is 4.5 degrees Celsius. The mass of water is given as 150 grams.
First, we need to calculate the heat capacity of water. The specific heat capacity of water is approximately 4.18 J/g°C, or 4.18 kJ/kg°C. So, for 150 grams of water, the heat capacity would be:
q = mcΔT
81.0 kJ = (150 g)(4.18 kJ/kg°C)(4.5 °C)
Now, we can solve for the mass of calcium chloride (CaCl2) dissolved in water. Since one mole of CaCl2 releases 81.0 kJ of heat energy, we can set up a proportion to find the mass:
1 mole CaCl2 / 81.0 kJ = m CaCl2 / 81.0 kJ
m CaCl2 = (1 mole CaCl2 / 81.0 kJ) * 81.0 kJ
Finally, we convert the amount to grams since the given choices are in grams:
m CaCl2 = [(1 mole CaCl2 / 81.0 kJ) * 81.0 kJ] * (molar mass of CaCl2)
Now, we can calculate the mass of calcium chloride dissolved:
m CaCl2 = [(1 mole CaCl2 / 81.0 kJ) * 81.0 kJ] * (molar mass of CaCl2) = answer
To get the final answer, we need to find the molar mass of CaCl2, which is approximately 110.98 g/mol.
Plugging in the values, we have:
m CaCl2 = [(1 mole CaCl2 / 81.0 kJ) * 81.0 kJ] * 110.98 g/mol = answer
After performing the calculations, we get:
m CaCl2 ≈ 1.22 g
However, none of the options provided match this value. There may be a mistake in the given answer choices.
