Calorimeter Question
« 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.

I know-I know
Most Common Suggestions I Make on the Forums.
1. Start by writing a balanced chemical equation.
2. Don't confuse thermodynamic stability with chemical reactivity.
3. Forum Supports LaTex
