Next, a chemical reaction of interest was conducted in the same constant volume calorimeter. The neutralization reaction of HCl(aq) with NaOH(aq) caused the temperature of the calorimeter to rise by 2.46 °C. What is the change in internal energy ΔU of the neutralization reaction in kJ?

A constant volume calorimeter (bomb calorimeter) was calibrated by performing in it a reaction in which 5.23 kJ of heat energy was released, causing the calorimeter to rise by 7.33 °C. What is the heat capacity Cy of the calorimeter

Explanation:

the heat capacity of the calorimeter is

Now that our  heat capacity of the calorimeter is 0.714kJ/°C

we can easily calculate  the change in internal energy ΔU of the neutralization reaction

or

Δ T = 2.46 °C

alkaline metals are lithium, sodium, rubidium, potassium, cesium and francium.

alkali metals have electronegativity from 0.7 to 1, lowest in periodic table of elements, which means that alkali metals (i group in periodic table) has positive oxidation number in compounds.

electronegativity is a chemical property that describes the tendency of an atom to attract a shared pair of electrons towards itself.

alkaline metals (far left in main group) have lowest ionizations energy and easy remove valence electrons,

for example, potassium is the alkali metal and has a single valence electron in the outer electron shell.

electron configuration of potassium is: ₁₉k 1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶4s¹.

they can not exist alone in nature, because they are very reactive.
