When 3.93 grams of lactic acid, CHoOs(s), are burned in a bomb calorimeter that has a total heat capacity of 10.80 kJ-K-1, the
temperature of the calorimeter increases by 5.43 K. Assume AHrxn
=
AErxn. Given that AH°f of H¿O(I) = -285.8 kJ-mol-1 and AH°f of CO:(g)
= -393.5 kJ• mol-1, calculate the AH°f of lactic acid.

the answer would be b i believe

l dont know l am s sorry

answer : third trial had the contaminated sample and the correct value for dhrxn should be 1000 kj/mol

explanation :

let us write down the given equations

equation 1 :

equation 2 :

equation 3 :

let us use hess's law to find out which 2 equations can be added to get the third equation.

let us reverse equation 2 and multiply it by 2. the new equation that we get is,

equation 4 :

let us add equation 1 & 4

the above equation is similar to equation 3 but has different value for dhrxn.

therefore third trial had the contaminated sample and the correct value for dhrxn should be 1000 kj/mol
