Q

Is the calorimeter is at constant pressure and why

A

Yes

It’s open to the atmosphere

17
Q

What is the definition of triangle H, what does it represent, units

A

Energy transferred that entrees or leaves the system

Enthalpy change

J/mol

18
Q

What does endothermic mean

A

Energy transferred to the system from surroundings

19
Q

(+) triangle H

(-) triangle H

Endo or exo for each?

A

(+) endothermic

(-) exothermic

20
Q

How are enthalpy change and temp related

A

Triangle H = heat (at constant pressure)

21
Q

How does heat capacity relate enthalpy change and temp

A

C = triangle H/ (Tf-Ti)

22
Q

During the experiment why does the total enthalpy change = 0

A

(Total enthalpy of calorimeter)
+ (it’s contents) = 0

23
Q

Part 1: heat capacity

Explain the three steps

A

1) calorimeter holds room temp water

2) metal block will be heated in a boiling water bath

3) when metal block is transferred to calorimeter, block will LOSE heat to water and calorimeter, temp of calorimeter water increases

24
Q

How does total enthalpy change relate enthalpy change of the block and enthalpy change of the water

A

Triangle H total = triangle H block
+ triangle H water = 0

So,

Triangle H block = -(triangle H water)

25
How does the heat capacity of the block relate the heat capacity of water, and the temp of water and the block
C block = (-C water(Tf-Ti)water)/ (Tf-Ti) block
26
Formula for heat capacity of water
(Mass of water)(c)
27
Formula for mass of water
(Volume added)(density of water at room temp)
28
How does specific heat capacity of the block relate the heat capacity of the block and the mass of the block
c block = C block/ mass of block
29
Part 2: enthalpy fusion of ice Explain the objective and the one step
Estimate the enthalpy fusion of ice for H20(s) —-> H2O(l) Ice at 0 degrees (melting point of ice) is added to calorimeter water at room temp, ice melts, water cools to Tf, water from melted ice warms from 0 degrees to Tf
30
What does fusion mean
Melting
31
How does triangle H water relate triangle H fusion and triangle H ice water
-triangle H water = triangle fusion + triangle H ice water
32
How is the calorimeter built
- 2 polystyrene cups one side the other - insert thermometer through the smaller of the two holes at the top -black plastic sleeve on top holds tip of thermometer approx 1 cm away from bottom when lid is put into cups
33
The measured max temp of calorimeter is less than ___ Because some energy enters/leaves calorimeter during reactions
Ideal
34
After max temp is reached, temp will change back with time towards ___
Ti
