Assignment

1. The heat flow rate of a calorimeter can be directly related to the heat capacity and temperature change. Discuss.
2. What is the difference between heat capacity and specific heat? Discuss.
3. You mixed hydrogen chloride and sodium hydroxide together in a beaker. As a chemist, explain the reaction taking place in that system (include the balanced equation and energetics).
4. A solution is formed by combining 10 mL of solution A and 40 mL of solution B. Find the heat of reaction assuming no heat is lost to the calorimeter, if the initial and final temperatures are 20.4 °C and 28.5 °C respectively. The specific heat of the solution is 4.184 J·g⁻¹·°C⁻¹ and the density is 1.6 g·mL⁻¹.
5. How will you determine the heat of neutralisation using a calorimeter? Discuss the procedure and calculations.
