The temperature rises from 25.00 °c to 29.00 °c in a bomb calorimeter when 3.50 g of sucrose undergoes combustion in a bomb calorimeter. calculate δerxn for the combustion of sucrose in kj/mol sucrose. the heat capacity of the calorimeter is 4.90 kj/°c . the molar mass of sugar is 342.3 g/mol.

Respuesta :

Given:

Initial temperature of calorimeter T1 = 25 C

Final temperature T2 = 29 C

Heat capacity of calorimeter c = 4.90 kJ/C

Mass of sucrose (m) = 3.5 g

Molar mass of sucrose (M) = 342.3 g/mol

To determine:

The energy change for the combustion of sucrose in kJ/mol

Explanation:

The change in temperature of calorimeter = T2 -T1 = 29 - 25 = 4 C

Heat gained by the calorimeter when the temperature changes by 4 C is-

= 4 C * 4.90 kJ/ 1 C = 19. 6 kJ

Now,

Heat gained by calorimeter = heat lost during combustion of 3.5 g sucrose = -19.6 kJ

# moles of sucrose = 3.5 g/342.3 g.mole-1 = 0.01022 moles

Energy change for the combustion reaction = -19.6/0.01022 = -1917.8 kJ/mol

Ans: Hence the energy change is -1918 kJ/mol

The heat of combustion for the reaction was 1921.5 kJ/mol.

The heat of combustion is the energy for burning of 1 mole of a substance.

Molar heat of combustion of sucrose = [tex]\rm \frac{\Delta E}{moles}[/tex]

moles of sucrose = [tex]\rm \frac{weight}{molecular\;weight}[/tex]

moles of sucrose = [tex]\rm \frac{3.50}{342.3}[/tex] moles

moles of sucrose = 0.0102 moles

[tex]\rm \Delta E_e_x_n[/tex] = [tex]\rm \frac{19.6}{0.0102}[/tex] kJ

[tex]\rm \Delta E_e_x_n[/tex] = 1921.5 kJ/mol

[tex]\rm \Delta E_e_x_n[/tex] = 1921.5 kJ/mol.
