Further explanation

Given:

A bomb calorimeter has a heat capacity of C = 2.47 kJ/K. A 0.120-g sample of ethylene (C₂H₄) was burned in this calorimeter. The temperature increased by ΔT = +2.44 K.

Question:

Calculate the enthalpy change per mole of ethylene combusted.

The Process:

Step-1: find out the amount of heat energy (Q) transferred

We will solve the problem with calorimetry calculations. We all see that the bomb calorimeter has a thermal (or thermal) capacity. During the sample was burned, there was an increase in temperature.

Q = heat capacity x temperature difference

$\boxed{ \ Q = C \ \Delta T \ }$

$\boxed{ \ Q = 2.47 \ \frac{kJ}{K} \times 2.44 \ K \ }$

Hence the amount of heat energy transferred in the reaction of the bomb calorimeter is 6.0268 kJ.

Step-2: calculate the number of moles of ethylene combusted

Molar mass of ethylene (C₂H₄) = (2 x 12.011) + (4 x 1.008) = 28.054.

Let us convert the number of grams of a sample of ethylene into moles.

$\boxed{ \ moles (n) = \frac{mass}{molar \ mass} \ }$

$\boxed{ \ moles (n) = \frac{0.120}{28.054} \ }$

We get $\boxed{ \ 4.277 \times 10^{-3} \ moles \ }$ of ethylene.

Step-3: calculate the enthalpy change per mole of ethylene combusted

$\boxed{ \ \Delta H = - \frac{heat \ transferred}{moles \ of \ substance}\ \ } \rightarrow \boxed{ \ \Delta H = - \frac{Q}{n} \ }$

$\boxed{ \ \Delta H = - \frac{6.0268 \ kJ}{4.277 \times 10^{-3} \ moles} \ }$

Thus the enthalpy change per mole of ethylene combusted is $\boxed{ \ \Delta H = 1409.12 \ kJ/mol \ } \rightarrow \boxed{ \ \Delta H \approx 1,41 \times 10^3 \ kJ/mol \ }$

Notes:

The enthalpy change for a reaction can be measured experimentally by using a calorimeter. In a simple calorimeter all the heat evolved in exothermic reaction when is used to raise the temperature of a known mass of water (or heat capacity of a bomb calorimeter). For endothermic reactions the heat transferred from the water to the reaction can be calculated by measuring the lowering of temperature of a known mass of water (or heat capacity of a bomb calorimeter).
