Title: Calorimeter Question
Post by: bg19 on November 29, 2004, 07:57:50 PM

Hi,

One mole of nitrogen and one mole of hydrogen are reacted together in a calorimeter oh heat capcity 20kJ/K. (Look carefully at these units) Calculate the change in temperature which the calorimeter will undergo.

I was thinking this was a limiting reageant question and set up the equation

N₂(g) + 3H₂(g) --> 2NH₃(g)

But the only problem is the question said we started off with one mole of each.

Please advise me on what to do

Thanks

deduce which reactant is the limited reagent.
