A0.1149-g sample of solid magnesium is burned in a bomb calorimeter that has a heat capacity of 1769 j/°c. the calorimeter contains exactly 321 g of water, and the temperature increases by 1.126°c. calculate the heat given off by the burning mg, in kj/g and in kj/mol.

The heat given off by the burning Mg is 30.5 kJ/grams or 745.5 kJ/mol

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of magnesium sample = 0.1149 grams

Molar mass of magnesium = 24.3 g/mol

bomb calorimeter that has a heat capacity of 1769 J/°C

Mass of water = 321 grams

Temperature change = 1.126 °C

Step 2: Calculated heat released

Q = (1769 J/°C * 1.126 °C) + (321 grams * 4.184 J/g°C * 1.126 °C)

Q = 3504.18 J =3.504 kJ

Step 3: Calculate the heat given off by the burning Mg, in kJ/g

3.504 kJ / 0.1149 grams = 30.5 kJ/grams

Step 4: Calculate moles of Magnesium

Moles of magnesium = mass magnesium / Molar mass magnesium

Moles magnesium = 0.1149 grams / 24.3 g/mol

Moles magnesium = 0.0047 moles

Step 5: Calculate the heat given off by the burning Mg, in kJ/mol

3.504 kJ / 0.0047 moles = 745.5 kJ/mol

The heat given off by the burning Mg is 30.5 kJ/grams or 745.5 kJ/mol

intermolecular forces are the forces between molecules or particles.

there are two kinds of van der waals forces: weak london dispersion forces and stronger dipole-dipole forces.

in molecule of water there are dipole-dipole forces between negatively charged oxygen from one molecule of water and positively charger hydrogen of another molecule of water.

hydrogen bond is an electrostatic attraction between two polar groups that occurs when a hydrogen atom (h), covalently bound to a highly electronegative atom such as flourine (f), oxygen (o) and nitrogen (n) atoms.
