5.4 Define the terms specific heat capacity (specific heat), heat capacity, and molar
heat capacity and solve related problems.
1. chromium
2. heat capacity
3. The amount of heat required to raise one gram of a substance 1 oC.
4. molar heat capacity (because 55.85 g of Fe is one mole of Fe)
5.5 Solve problems related to calorimetry and describe what a bomb calorimeter is.
1. -qlost = qgained

2. q = mc∆T = (15.0 g)(0.89 o
)(18 o C) = 240 J

3. A bomb calorimeter has a rigid steel reaction chamber (a “bomb”) in which a sample
is burned (ignition wires start the reaction). The heat released by the reaction is
absorbed by the surrounding water. A thermometer records the temperature change
of the water. A stirrer evenly distributes the heat produced.
4. q = mc∆T
q 596 J
∆T = = = 4.82 o C
mc (29.6 g)(4.18 J )

5. We assume all the heat lost of the combustion was gained by the water in the bomb
calorimeter.

6.43 o C x o

5.6 Use Hess’s Law to calculate enthalpy changes for a variety of reactions.
5.7 Apply their knowledge of standard states and standard enthalpies of formation to
calculate ∆H for a variety of reactions and solve related problems.
4. Notice the equation shown is the reverse equation of the heat of formation and with
twice as many moles. So if we change the sign and divide by two, we will have the
heat of formation of HF(g). The correct choice is “b”.
1. We will need to assume that the volumes are additive, giving us a total volume of
450 mL.

450 mL x = 450 g

q = mc∆T = (450 g)(4.184 o
)(38 o C) = 7.2 x 104 J
g C
We know that the amount of heat released was 7.2 x 104 J. We must now determine how many mol of
KCl were produced so we can express the ∆H in kJ/mol.
Since we have an equal number of moles for each reactant and the HCl:KOH mole ratio from the
balanced equation is 1:1, have = need for both reactants and either can be considered the limiting
reactant.
1 mol KCl
0.075 mol HCl x = 0.075 mol KCl formed
1 mol HCl
7.2 x 104 J kJ kJ
x = 960
0.075 mol KCl 1000 J mol KCl
2. a. We will need to look at heat of formation values in the Appendix of the text.
⎡ ⎛ - 925 kJ ⎞ ⎤ ⎡ ⎛ - 286 kJ ⎞⎤
∆H o = ⎢1 mol⎜ ⎟ + 0⎥ - ⎢0 + 2 mol⎜ ⎟⎥ = - 353 kJ
⎣ ⎝ mol ⎠ ⎦ ⎣ ⎝ mol ⎠⎦

c. We need to remember that the density of water = 1.00 g/mL, therefore 25 mL = 25 g.
q = mc∆T
q 6.3 x 103 J
∆T = = = 60 o C

25 oC + 60 oC = 85 oC
