Kaylyn · Answer 1

-24.76 kJ/g; - 601.8 kJ/mol

Explanation:

There are two heat flows in this experiment.

Heat from reaction + heat absorbed by calorimeter = 0

q1 + q2 = 0

mΔH + CΔT = 0

dа ta:

m = 0.1375 g

C = 3024 J/°C

ΔT = 1.126 °C

Calculations:

0.1375ΔH + 3024 * 1.126 = 0

0.1375ΔH + 3405 = 0

0.1375ΔH = - 3405

ΔH = - 24 760 J/g = - 24.76 kJ/g

ΔH = - 24.76 kJ/g * 24.30 g/mol = - 601.8 kJ/mol
