In a styrofoam cup calorimeter, a 55ml sample of .6M HI at 18.46 degrees celsius is allowed to mix with 86 ml of KOH at the same temperature. The final temperature of the reactoin mixture reached 21.96 degrees celsius. Calculate ∆H per mole of limiting reagent for this reaction. (Assume the density of the solution is 1 g/ml and the Csp of water is 4.184 J/g)
Total volume of solution = 55 + 86 = 141ml
mass of solution = volume * density
= 141*1 = 141g
q = mcT
= 141*4.184*(21.96-18.46)
= 2064.8J
HI + KOH -----------------> KI + H2O
no of moles of HI = molarity * volume in L
= 0.6*0.055 = 0.033 moles
HI + KOH -----------------> KI + H2O
heat energy released per mole = 2064.8/0.033 = 62569.7J/mole = 62.569KJ/mole
