$q_{rxn}$ = -13.3 KJ belongs to the bomb calorimeter

Explanation:

In this question, we are concerned with determining which of the two heats of reaction given, belongs to that in the bomb calorimeter

The kind of calorimetry used in a bomb calorimeter and a coffee-cup calorimeter is different.

In a bomb calorimeter, what we have is a constant volume calorimetry while in a coffee-cup calorimeter, what we have is a constant-pressure calorimetry.

For constant volume calorimetry, the change in volume ΔV = 0 while for constant pressure calorimetry, the change in pressure ΔP = 0.

Mathematically, the relationship between the change in internal energy Δ $E_{rxn}$ of the reaction, the work of the reaction $w_{rxn}$ and the heat of the reaction $q_{rxn}$ is given by;

Δ $E_{rxn}$ = $w_{rxn}$ + $q_{rxn}$

Kindly note that, in a bomb calorimeter, the work of the reaction $w_{rxn}$ = 0

Thus, this means that for a bomb calorimeter,

Δ $E_{rxn}$ = $q_{rxn}$

This means that in the bomb calorimeter, the entire internal energy change is converted to heat of the reaction.

In the case of the coffee-cup calorimeter, the work of the reaction is non-zero and it is equal to the product of the pressure and the change in volume.

Thus, mathematically,

$w_{rxn}$ = PΔV

Thus;

Δ $E_{rxn}$ = $w_{rxn}$ + $q_{rxn}$ = PΔV + $q_{rxn}$

Since for a coffee cup calorimeter, the change in volume is positive(as given in the question), this means that;

ΔV > 0

and PΔV > 0

This automatically means that

Δ $E_{rxn}$ > $q_{rxn}$

Hence, in the coffee cup calorimeter, the entire change in internal energy is not converted to heat as part is used to do useful work.

Thus, this means that in the coffee cup calorimeter, the value of change in internal energy is greater than the value of heat.

This makes the magnitude of heat in the bomb calorimeter greater than that of the coffee cup calorimeter.

Since -13.3 KJ is the bigger magnitude of the two, then it belongs to the bomb calorimeter

The earth's moon is unusually large. two popular theories of the moon's origin include the "sister world" hypothesis, which states that the moon formed from the same materials as the earth, near enough to the earth that they fell into orbit around each other. a second theory is the "capture" hypothesis, in which the moon formed elsewhere in the solar system, and the earth's gravity pulled it into its orbit. studies of what the moon is made of indicate that some of its materials had to come from the earth or from the same area of the solar system where the earth had formed. at the same time, the moon does not contain much of the material that makes up the earth's core, so the moon could not have formed from the same materials as the earth. how do the two facts above affect the described theories of the moon's origin? a. they show that scientists will never agree on where the moon came from. b. they show that more experiments on moon formation need to be done. c. they show that no theory accounts for the existence of the moon. d. they show that neither theory is complete and entirely correct.

Gusing the milligrams of ascorbic acid you entered above, the ratio of total sample volume to aliquot volume, and the total milligrams of the vitamin c tablet that you dissolved, calculate the mass of ascorbic acid in the vitamin c tablet for each trial. do this by scaling up to find the amount (mg) of ascorbic acid in your 250 ml flask. enter your calculated mass of ascorbic acid in the vitamin c tablet, for each trial. be sure to enter your calculated mass in the corresponding order that you entered your milligrams of ascorbic acid. the milligrams of ascorbic acid you entered for entry #1 previously should correspond to the mass of ascorbic acid that you enter for entry #1 here.
