Magnesium will also displace copper from copper (II) sulphate solution.If an excess of magnesium is added to 100 cm3 of1.0 moldm-3 copper(II) sulphate, the temperature increases by 46.3 oC.a)
Calculate the molar enthalpy change for the reactionb)
Calculate the minimum quantityof magnesium required to ensure it is in excess.c)
Calculate the temperature change if only 0.8g of magnesium is added.So I got -1935.34 for a, which is wrong and i got completely wrong answers for b and c!!! Can someone explain how to work them out please?
Here are my working for a)
q= mcΔT
q= 100 x 4.18 x 46.3
q= 19353.4 J
q= 19.3534 KJ
moles= conc x vol
moles= 0.100 x 0.100 = 0.0100moles
So enthalpy change = 19.3534/0.0100
= -1935.34 kJmol-1
Can someone please tell we where I went wrong here with the calculation above?
I'm not going to even bother showing my workings for b and c because they are completely wrong and I'm not certain how to work them out anyway (I had an 'educational' guess).
Any help would be greatly appreciated... + REP
