  1. What is calorimetry?

    An experimental method that allows one to determine the amount of heat energy a system gives/takes during the course of a reaction.
  2.  

     

  3. What type of calorimeter maintains constant pressure?

    Coffee Cup Calorimeter

    • ΔH = nCp∆T = qp     or        ΔH = mCp∆T = qp 

     

     

  4. What type of calorimeter maintains constant volume?

    Bomb Calorimeter
    • ΔE = nCv∆T = qV      or        ΔE = mCv∆T = qV

     

     

  5. A biological experiment requires water to be 37.0°C.  The temperature of cold water is 22.0°C and the temperature of hot water is 55.0°C.  If a student starts with 90.0g of cold water, what mass of hot water must be added to reach 37.0°C?

    Mhot water = 75.0g           
  6.  

     

  7.  A 0.1964g sample of C6H4O2 is burned in a bomb calorimeter that has a heat capacity of 1.56kJ/°C.  The temperature of the calorimeter increases by 3.2°C.  Calculate the energy of combustion of C6H4O2 per gram.

    qcal = 4.99 kJ

     

    Energy pf combustion per gram = -25.4 kJ/g
