If 40 g of KNO3 is dissolved in 100 mL of water at 25 degrees celisus, what will the final temperature be?
Heat of solution KNO3 :NH4Cl = 8.340Kcal/mole
heat released= 40g/molmassKNO3 * 8.340Kcal
100ml water needs 100 cal to go up one degree C, so
tempfinal-25=heatreleased/100
To determine the final temperature of the solution, we need to use the concept of heat transfer. The equation for heat transfer can be written as:
q = m * c * ΔT
where:
q is the amount of heat transferred,
m is the mass of the substance,
c is the specific heat capacity of the substance, and
ΔT is the change in temperature.
In this case, we have a solution of potassium nitrate (KNO3) dissolved in water. To calculate the final temperature, we need to assume that there is no heat lost or gained from the surroundings, and that the specific heat capacity of the solution is the same as water (4.18 J/g·°C).
First, let's calculate the amount of heat transferred (q):
q = m * c * ΔT
Since we have 40 g of KNO3 dissolved in 100 mL of water, we can assume the mass of the solution is approximately 140 g (40 g + 100 g for the water). However, since density is given by mass divided by volume, we need to convert the volume from milliliters (mL) to grams (g) using the density of water (1 g/mL):
100 mL * (1 g/mL) = 100 g
Now we can calculate the amount of heat transferred:
q = 140 g * 4.18 J/g·°C * ΔT
Next, we need to rearrange the equation to solve for the change in temperature (ΔT):
ΔT = q / (m * c)
Substituting the known values:
ΔT = q / (140 g * 4.18 J/g·°C)
Now, we need to determine the quantity of heat transferred (q). Since the process is assumed to be adiabatic (no heat exchange with the surroundings), the heat transferred can be calculated using the concept of heat of dissolution (enthalpy change):
q = m * ΔH
ΔH is the heat of dissolution, which represents the energy released or absorbed during the dissolution process. In this case, we consider the dissolution of KNO3 in water. The heat of dissolution for KNO3 is -34.8 kJ/mol.
Since we have 40 g of KNO3, we need to convert it to moles using the molar mass of KNO3 (101.1 g/mol):
moles of KNO3 = 40 g / 101.1 g/mol
Now we can calculate the heat transferred using the heat of dissolution:
q = moles of KNO3 * ΔH
Substituting the known values:
q = (40 g / 101.1 g/mol) * (-34.8 kJ/mol)
Next, we need to convert the heat transferred from kilojoules (kJ) to joules (J) since the specific heat capacity (c) is given in J/g·°C:
q = (40 g / 101.1 g/mol) * (-34.8 kJ/mol) * (1000 J/1 kJ)
Now we can substitute the value of q into the equation for ΔT:
ΔT = [(40 g / 101.1 g/mol) * (-34.8 kJ/mol) * (1000 J/1 kJ)] / (140 g * 4.18 J/g·°C)
Simplifying the equation will give us the change in temperature (ΔT). However, this calculation seems incorrect because it is resulting in a very large negative value, indicating a drastic decrease in temperature. Please double-check the information given and ensure all units and values are accurate.
