Consider two solutions, the first being 50.0 mL of 1.00 M CuSO4
and the second 50.0 mL of 2.00 M KOH. When the two solutions are
mixed in a constant-pressure calorimeter, a precipitate forms and
the temperature of the mixture rises from 21.5 ∘C to 27.7 ∘C.
C: Write complete equation for the reaction that occurs when the
two solutions are mixed.
D: Write net ionic equation for the reaction that occurs when
the two solutions are mixed.
E: From the calorimetric data, calculate ΔH for the reaction
that occurs on mixing. Assume that the calorimeter absorbs only a
negligible quantity of heat, that the total volume of the solution
is 100.0 mL, and that the specific heat and density of the solution
after mixing are the same as that of pure water.
