A bomb calorimeter has a heat capacity of 783 J/oC and contains 254 g of water whose specific heat capacity is 4.184 J/goC. How much heat, in kilojoules, is evolved or absorbed by a reaction when the temperature goes from 23.73 oC to 26.01 oC? cH2O = 4.184 J/g. K

Answer : The amount of heat evolved by a reaction is, 4.81 kJ

Explanation :

Heat released by the reaction = Heat absorbed by the calorimeter + Heat absorbed by the water

where,

q = heat released by the reaction

= heat absorbed by the calorimeter

= heat absorbed by the water

= specific heat of calorimeter =

= specific heat of water =

= mass of water = 254 g

= change in temperature =

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

Therefore, the amount of heat evolved by a reaction is, 4.81 kJ

answer : (a) volume of the gas = 8.67 ×   l

                (b) second virial coefficient b = -1.21226 l/mole

solution :   given,     t = 300k

                                p = 20atm

                                z = 0.86

                                n = 8.2 mmoles = 8.2 × moles

                                r =   0.082 l atm/k/mol

        find,     (a) volume of gas   and (b) second virial coefficient b at 300k.

formula used :            

                          and            

(a)            

                    = \times 0.082\times 300}{20}[/tex]

                    = 8.67 ×   l

(b)      

                    = (0.00867-1) × 8.659

                    = - 8.5839 l/mole
