Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Using a coffee-cup calorimeter, 50.0 mL of 1.0 M HCl is mixed with 50.0 mL of 1.0 M NaOH, and the temperature rises from 25.0 °C to 30.0 °C. Calculate ΔH_neut for the reaction, assuming the specific heat of the solution is 4.18 J/(g·°C) and the solution's density is 1.00 g/mL.

💡 Hint: Remember to use the heat capacity and moles of the limiting reactant.

Question 2

Using Hess’s Law, determine the enthalpy change for the reaction 2 NO(g) + O₂(g) → 2 NO₂(g) given the following reactions:
1) N₂(g) + O₂(g) → 2 NO(g) with ΔH = +180.5 kJ.
2) 2 NO(g) + O₂(g) → 2 NO₂(g) with ΔH = -112.0 kJ.

💡 Hint: Keep track of the direction of the reactions you combine.
