Acommon laboratory reaction is the neutralization of an acid with a base. when 50.0 ml of 0.500 m hcl at 25.0°c is added to 50.0 ml of 0.500 m naoh at 25.0°c in a coffee cup calorimeter, the temperature of the mixture rises to 28.2°c. what is the heat produced by the reaction.
a) 670 j
b) 1300 j
c) 27 kj
d) 54 kj
e) > 100 kj

B

Explanation:

In this calorimetry problem, the heat released by the reaction is equal to the heat absorbed by the solution (assumed to have the same specific heat capacity as water, 4.19 Jg⁻¹°C⁻¹).

The formula Q = mcΔt will be used to calculate the heat energy, where m is the mass, c is the specific heat capacity, and Δt is the change in temperature from final to initial.

The volume of solution is (50.0 + 50.0)mL = 100.0mL = 100.0g, since water has a density of 1.00g/mL.

The heat absorbed by the solution is then calculated.

Q = mcΔt = (100.0 g)(4.19 Jg⁻¹°C⁻¹)(28.2°C - 25.0°C) = 1340 J

The closest answer is B) 1300 J. This answer is obtained by including only two significant figures in the answer.

as technology advances, new experiments often expose problems in accepted theories. c
