24 Aqueous lead(II) nitrate, Pb(NO3)2(aq), and aqueous potassium iodide, KI(aq), react together. The equation is shown below. 18 Pb(NO3)2(aq) + 2KI(aq)PbI2(s) + 2KNO3(aq) A student carries out an experiment to determine the enthalpy change of reaction, rH, of this reaction. The student follows the method outlined below. Add 50.0 cm3 of 1.50 mol dm3 Pb(NO3)2(aq) to a polystyrene cup. (cid:129) (cid:129) Measure out 50.0 cm3 of a solution of KI(aq), which is in excess. (cid:129) Measure the temperature of both solutions. (cid:129) Add the KI(aq) to the polystyrene cup, stir the mixture and record the maximum temperature. Temperature readings Initial temperature of both solutions = 19.5 C Maximum temperature of mixture = 30.0 C (a) Calculate rH, in kJ mol1, for the reaction shown in the equation above. Give your answer to an appropriate number of significant figures. Assume that the density of all solutions and specific heat capacity, c, of the reaction mixture is the same as for water. rH =kJ mol1 [4]OCR 2016<br />
 (b) Write an ionic equation for the reaction that the student carries out. 19 Include state symbols.[1] (c) The 50.0 cm3 of KI(aq) used in the experiment contains 10% more KI than is needed to react with 50.0 cm3 of 1.50 mol dm3 Pb(NO3)2(aq). Pb(NO3)2(aq) + 2KI(aq)PbI2(s) + 2KNO3(aq) Calculate the concentration, in mol dm3, of KI that the student used. concentration of KI =mol dm3 [2]OCR 2016 Turn over<br />
