1) Constant-volume calorimeters are sometimes calibrated by running a combustion reaction of known ΔE and measuring the change in temperature. For example, the combustion energy of glucose is 15.57 kJ/g. When a 2.500 g sample of glucose burns in a constant volume calorimeter, the calorimeter temperature increases from 21.45 to 23.34°C. Find the total heat capacity of the calorimeter (in kJ/K).

2)An electrical heater is used to add 18.25 kJ of heat to a constant-volume calorimeter. The temperature of the calorimeter increases by 3.40°C. When 2.25 g of ethanol (C2H5OH) is burned in the same calorimeter, the temperature increases by 12.45°C. Calculate the molar heat of combustion for ethanol (enter in kJ).

3)A 0.90 g sample of caffeine, C8H10N4O2, burns in a constant-volume calorimeter that has a heat capacity of 7.85 kJ/K. The temperature increases from 298.25 K to 303.34 K. What is the molar heat of combustion of caffeine (in kJ).

4)Use standard enthalpies of formation to determine ΔHorxnfor:

2Al(s) + 3Cl2(g) → 2AlCl3(s)   Find the change in internal energy for this reaction. Enter in kJ.

5)Use standard enthalpies of formation to determine ΔHorxn for:

2NH3(g) + 3O2(g) + 2CH4(g) → 2HCN(g) + 6H2O(g) Find the change in internal energy for this reaction. Enter in kJ.

Second eyes for a final draft please-

A small baggie of glucose solution is placed in a small beaker of distilled water. We pulled a sample of water (colorless) from the bottom of the beaker and add Benedict solution (light blue) to it which turned it to a light blue color. Adding Benedict solution to glucose tests for presence of reducing sugars that have the aldehyde functional group – CHO (or, free ketone group I.e. alpha-hydroxy ketone, too). When the Benedict solution was added, the glucose solution immediately takes the color of Benedict's reagent and turns it to light blue. When the mixture was heated in boiling distilled water, aldehyde group gets oxidized by accepting an O-atom from OH- and gives up and electron that copper ion (Cu2+) accepts and then become reduced which turns Benedict's solution and sugar into an orange color indicating a positive result due to the color change proving diffusion occurred. Test was not redone. Our group and the group we compared our results with had same results and color.
