in a coffee-cup calorimeter, 50.0 mL of 0.100 M AgNO3 and 50.0 mL of 0.100 M of HCl are mixed to yield the following reaction:

Ag+ (aq) + Cl- (aq) >> AgCl (s)

the two solutions were initially at 22.60 degree celsius, and the final temperature is 23.40 degree celsius. calculate the heat the accompanies this reaction in kJ/mol of AgCl formed. assume that the combined solution has a mass of 100.0 g and a specific heat capacity of 4.18 J/(celsius)(Grams).

1 answer

Heat = (4.18 J/(celsius)(Grams)) * (100.0 g) * (1.8 K)

Heat = 754.4 J/K

Moles of AgCl formed = (0.100 M) * (50.0 mL) / (1000 mL/L)

Moles of AgCl formed = 0.005 mol

Heat per mole of AgCl formed = (754.4 J/K) / (0.005 mol)

Heat per mole of AgCl formed = 150,880 J/mol

Heat per mole of AgCl formed = 150.9 kJ/mol
