1) A 0.1375-g sample of solid magnesium is burned in a constant-volume bomb calorimeter that has a heat capacity of 3024 J/C. The temperature increases by 1.126 degrees C. Calculate the heat given off by the burning Mg, in kJ/g and kJ/mol.

2) Determine the amount of heat in kJ given off when 1.26 x 10^4 g of NO2 are produced according to the equation:

2NO (g) + O2 (g) --> 2NO2 (g)

and delta (H) = -114.6 kJ/mol

  2. 1.
    q = Ccal*(Tfinal-Tinitial) for the rxn.
    q/0.1375 = q/gram
    q/gram x atomic mass mg = q/mol. Change those to kJ/g and kJ/mol

  4. 2.
    If 114.6 kJ are produced per 1 mol NO then 2*114.6 or 229.2 kJ will be produced for 2 mols(2*30 = 60 g).
    You may want to check this out in the problem because it always leaves one in doubt exactly what is meant. I'll assume the above is correct.
    Then 229.2 kJ x (1.16E4g/60) = heat produced.
