Calorimetry part 6

Question

A 52.19 mL sample of 3.02 M CuSO4 reacts with 54.48 mL of 2.87 M KOH in a coffee cup calorimeter to form Cu(OH)2(s) and K2SO4 (aq). The initial temperature is 18.5°C and the final temperature is 44.9°C. Assume that the mixture has the same specific heat as water and the same density as water. Specific heat of water is 4.184 J/g-K.

f.) How much heat, in kJ, was transferred by the reaction?

Answer 1

See the answer to part 5

q = 11783 J

11783 J x 1 kJ/1000 J = 11.8 kJ
