Question

following data was collected after running a calorimetric experiment using three Table 1: AHsol Values of Salts Salt | Hsol (kJ/mol) LiI -63.60 -2.51 4.73 LiNO3 LiF The data collected for each experiment is as follows Experiment 1: 2.91 g of unknown salt added to 180, mL of water resulted in a value of-1.8°C. Experiment 2: 2.91 g of unknown salt added to 180. mL of water resulted in a value of-0.1°C. Experiment 3: 2.91 g of unknown salt added to 180. mL of water resulted in a T value of 0.7°C. Calculate the value of q for each of the experiments. (Assume that the heat capacity of water is 4.1801 J/g.°c.) Experiment 1 Experiment 2 4. Experiment 3 4 ent 2 9

Explanation / Answer

Solution :-

Lets calculate the energy absorbed in the experiment 1

Mass of salt = 2.91 g

Mass of water = 180 g

Change in temperature = -1.8 oC

Formula

q=m*s*delta T

where q= energy, m= mass , s= specific heat and delta T = change on temperature.

Lets put the values in the formula.

q=m*s*delta T

   = 180g *4.184 J per g.oC * 1.8 oC

   = 1356 J

1356 J*1 kJ / 1000 J = 1.356 kJ

Now lets calculate it for peer mol of each salt

For LiI ,

1.356 kJ * 133.841 g per mol / 2.91 g = 62.4 kJ/ mol

It is close to given value of the LiI that 63.6 kJ per mol

There fore its LiI salt used in experiment 1

Lets calculate the energy absorbed in the experiment 2

Mass of salt = 2.91 g

Mass of water = 180 g

Change in temperature = -0.1 oC

Formula

q=m*s*delta T

where q= energy, m= mass , s= specific heat and delta T = change on temperature.

Lets put the values in the formula.

q=m*s*delta T

   = 180g *4.184 J per g.oC *0.1 oC

   = 75.3 J

75.3 J*1 kJ / 1000 J = 0.0753 kJ

Now lets calculate it for peer mol of each salt

Lets try for LiNO3 ,

0.0753 kJ * 68.946 g per mol / 2.91 g = 1.78 kJ/ mol

It is close to given value of the LiNO3 that is 2.51 kJ per mol

There fore its LiNO3 salt used in experiment 2

Lets calculate the energy absorbed in the experiment 3

Mass of salt = 2.91 g

Mass of water = 180 g

Change in temperature = 0.7 oC

Formula

q=m*s*delta T

where q= energy, m= mass , s= specific heat and delta T = change on temperature.

Lets put the values in the formula.

q=m*s*delta T

   = 180g *4.184 J per g.oC *0.7 oC

   = 527.2 J

527.2 J*1 kJ / 1000 J = 0.5272 kJ

Now lets calculate it for peer mol of each salt

Lets try for LiF ,

0.5272 kJ * 25.939g per mol / 2.91 g = 4.70kJ/ mol

It is close to given value of the LiF that is 4.73 kJ per mol

There fore its LiF salt used in experiment 3

There Q values for each experiment are as follows

Experiment 1 = q = -1356 J

Experiment 2 = q = -75.3 J

Experiment 3 = q = 527.2 J

Identity of the salt in each experiment is as follows.

Experiment 1 = LiI

Experiment 2 = LiNO3

Experiment 3= LiF
