When 0.485 g of compound X is burned completely in a bomb calorimeter containing 3000 g of water, a temperature rise of 0.285°C is observed. What is ΔU of the reaction for the combustion of compound X? The hardware component of the calorimeter has a heat capacity of 3.81 kJ/°C. The specific heat of water is 4.184 J/g·°C, and the MW of X is 56.0 g/mol.
a. -538 kJ/mol
b. 4660 kJ/mol
c. -4660 kJ/mol
d. 538 kJ/mol

Answer:

a. -538 kJ/mol

Explanation:

Internal energy change (ΔU) for the reaction of combustion in the bomb calorimeter is:

ΔU = q calorimeter + q solution

Where:

q calorimeter is Ccal×ΔT, (Ccal=3,81kJ/°C) and (ΔT is 0,285°C)

q solution is c×m×ΔT (c= 4.184 J/g°C), (m=3000g H₂O), (ΔT is 0,285°C)

Replacing:

ΔU = 1,09kJ + 3,58kJ = 4,67 kJ

This energy is per 0,485g of X, now, per mole of X

[tex]\frac{4,67kJ}{0,485gX} *\frac{56,0g}{1mol}[/tex]= -539kJ/mol ≡ a. -538 kJ/mol

-negative because the energy is produced by rising of temperature-

I hope it helps!

Answer:

For 56 g/mol of compound the change in the internal energy is found to e -539 kJ/mol.

Explanation:

[tex]\rm \Delta[/tex]U for a reaction is the internal energy change in the reaction. For a reaction in the bomb calorimeter,

[tex]\rm \Delta[/tex]U = Heat of calorimeter + Heat of solution

Heat = Heat capacity [tex]\times[/tex] Temperature

For, 0.485 g compound

[tex]\Delta[/tex]U = 3.81 [tex]\times[/tex] 0.285 + 4.184 [tex]\times[/tex] 3000 [tex]\times[/tex] 0.285

[tex]\Delta[/tex]U = 4.67 kJ

For 56 g/mol  compound:

[tex]\Delta[/tex]U = [tex]\rm \frac{energy}{mass}\;\times\;\frac{moles}{1}[/tex]

[tex]\Delta[/tex]U = [tex]\rm \frac{4.67}{0.485}\;\times\;56[/tex]

[tex]\Delta[/tex]U = 539 kJ/mol

Since there is rise in temperature in the reaction, the negative sign is imparted to the internal energy, i.e. -539kJ/mol.
