Respuesta :
The heat lost by copper(ii) sulfate is equal to heat absorbed by water since the total energy in the system remains constant according to the law of conservation of energy.
How can the number of moles be determined?
The number of moles of a substance is determined using the formula below:
- Number of moles = mass/molar mass
Assuming the mass of copper(ii) sulfate used is Mc, number of moles of copper(ii) sulfate used is:
- Moles of copper(ii) sulfate = Mc/159.60 moles
The heat absorbed by water is calculated using the formula below:
- Quantity of Heat, H = mass × specific heat capacity × temperature change
mass of water = 10 g
Let temperature change be Tc
Heat absorbed by water = 10 × 4.186 × Tc = 41
86Tc
The change in internal energy, ΔU of copper(ii) sulfate, is given as:
- ΔU = Q − W
where:
Q = heat absorbed by water
W = work done by or on the system
The enthalpy of the reaction is given as:
- ΔH= energy released or absorbed/moles of copper (ii) sulfate
Therefore, according to the law of conservation of energy, the total energy in the system remains constant.
