1 When 25 cm of 1.0 mol/dmº copper sulfate solution was mixed vith an excess of zinc powder, the temperature of the solution rose by 50.6 °C. Calculate the energy change
for the reaction in kJ/mol.
CuSO4(aq) + Zn(s) + Cu(s) + ZnSO4(aq)
?

Explanation:

From the formula for heat;

q (enthalpy change) = (mass of solution) x (specific heat capacity) x (temperature change)

Since the density and heat capacity of the solution are the same as that of pure water.

Mass of copper sulphate solution = 50 g

Heat = 50 * 4.18 * 50.6°C

Heat = 10575.4 J

Number of moles = 1 * 25/1000 = 0.025 moles

10575.4 J/ 0.025 moles = 432016 J/mol/1000

= 423 KJ/mol

or

q = - 423 KJ/mol

the ozone layer acts as a filter for the shorter wavelength and highly hazardous ultraviolet radiation (uvr) from the sun, protecting life on earth from its potentially harmful effects. when the sky is clear, there is an inverse relationship between stratospheric ozone and solar uvr measured at the earth's surface.
