In two similar, separate experiments, the enthalpy changes for the reactions of potassium hydrogencarbonate, KHCO3, and potassium carbonate, K2CO3, with excess dilute hydrochloric acid were determined. D 7KHILUVWH[SHULPHQWZDVWRILQGWKHHQWKDOSFKDQJHH1, for the reaction KHCO3(s) + HCl(aq) o KCl(aq) + H 2O(l) + CO2(g) Measurement Mass of solid potassium hydrogencarbonate added to hydrochloric acid Volume of hydrochloric acid Temperature of hydrochloric acid before addition of solid potassium hydrogencarbonate Final temperature of solution Reading 3.48 g 25.0 cm3 22.0 C 12.0 C (i) Calculate the heat energy absorbed, in joules, by the reaction of KHCO3(s) with the solution of dilute hydrochloric acid. Use the expression energy absorbed (J) = 25.04.18temperature change (ii) Calculate the number of moles of KHCO3(s) used. Molar mass of KHCO3(s) is 100 g mol1. (1) (1) *P39310A0916* Turn over<br />
 (iii) Use your answers to (a)(i) and (ii) to calculate, in kJ mol1, the enthalpy change, H1, when one mole of KHCO3(s) reacts completely with the acid. Include the VLJQIRUH1. (2) (b) In the second experiment, the enthalpy change for the reaction between potassium carbonate and dilute hydrochloric acid was calculated from the results. K2CO3(s) + 2HCl(aq) o 2KCl(aq) + H2O(l) + CO2(g)  7KHPRODUHQWKDOSFKDQJHH2, for this reaction was calculated to be 34.0 kJ mol1. (i) State one way in which the temperature change is different when equal numbers of moles of potassium hydrogencarbonate and potassium carbonate react separately with the same volume of excess dilute hydrochloric acid.
