To determine delta h for this process, the change in enthalpy, we need two things.
00:07
We need to know q for the process, and we need to know the moles of k -o -h that were involved in the process.
00:16
Q can be calculated by taking the specific heat of the solution, multiplied by the mass, multiplied by the change in temperature, that occurred when sodium, sorry, potassium hydroxide, was added to a hundred, 150 grams of water.
00:36
They tell us to assume that the solution has a specific heat of 4 .18 joules per gram degree celsius.
00:47
We then need to multiply by the mass of the solution, which will be the mass of the potassium hydroxide plus the mass of the water.
00:56
150 plus 15 gives us 165 grams of solution.
01:02
Then we'll multiply by the change in temperature of the solution, which will be the final temperature, 51 .5 degrees celsius, minus the initial 23 .0 degrees celsius.
01:17
And we get q for the calerimeter of 19 ,660 joules.
01:28
Now this is q for the calerimeter...
