when 2.00g (0.0200 mole) of KHCO3 is mixed with 30.0 ml of the same hcl the temp falls by 3.7 C. write a balanced equation for this reaction? b) calculate the enthalpy (delta h) of this reaction per mole of KHCO3?
KHCO3 (s)+ HCl (aq) >> H2O (l)+ CO2(g) +KCl (aq)
Assuming the solution to be having same specific heat as that of water, (Cp=4.18 j/g.deg.c)
Density is assumed to be same as that of water (1gm/cc), mass of the solution = 30gm
Enthalpy change= mass*specific heat* temperature difference = -30*4.18*3.7=-463.98 joule
2 gm of KHCO3 correspond to =2/100 moles= 0.02 moles ( Molecular weight of KHCO3=100)
0.02 moles required 463.98 joules
1 mole required 463.98/0.02=23199 joules/mole = 23.199 Kj/mol
