Next, a chemical reaction of interest was conducted in the same constant volume calorimeter. The neutralization reaction of HCl(aq) with NaOH(aq) caused the temperature of the calorimeter to rise by 2.46 °C. What is the change in internal energy ΔU of the neutralization reaction in kJ?

A constant volume calorimeter (bomb calorimeter) was calibrated by performing in it a reaction in which 5.23 kJ of heat energy was released, causing the calorimeter to rise by 7.33 °C. What is the heat capacity Cy of the calorimeter

Explanation:

the heat capacity of the calorimeter is

Now that our  heat capacity of the calorimeter is 0.714kJ/°C

we can easily calculate  the change in internal energy ΔU of the neutralization reaction

or

Δ T = 2.46 °C

"you start with 15.67 g mgco3-xh2o, when heated and all the water is removed, you are left with 7.58 g mgco3 only.

therefore, you had 15.67 - 7.58 = 8.09g h2o  

moles of each :

7.58g mgco3 = ? moles = 7.58g / 83.4g/mole = 0.09moles  

8 09g h2o = ? moles = 8.09g / 18g/mole = 0.44moles  

molar ratio between the two by dividing both numbers by the smallest number :

0.09 / 0.09 = 1  

0.44 / 0.09 = 4.8
