Dear Nancy,

  1. Calculate the heat released, in J, by the precipitation reaction:

    q = mass x specific heat capacity x change in temperature 
    q = [mPb(NO3)2(aq) + mKI(aq)] x cg x (Tf - Ti
    q = [50 + 30] x 4.184 x (22.2 - 19.6) = 870.27 J

     

  2. Calculate the moles of reactant specified, n[Pb(NO3)2(aq)]:

    n = M x V 
    n[Pb(NO3)2(aq)] = 0.20 x 50 x 10-3 = 0.010 mol

     

  3. Calculate the heat of precipitation, H, in kJ/mol of Pb(NO3)2(aq):

    H = -q/1000 ÷ n 
    H = -0.870/1000 ÷ 0.010 = -87 kJ mol-1 
    H is negative because the reaction is exothermic.
