1. The neutralization reaction that occurs between baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) and vinegar (acetic acid) is often used for making homemade volcanoes because the products are water, carbon dioxide (gas), and sodium acetate. If this reaction is performed in a flask with a balloon placed over the top, the balloon will inflate with CO2 gas. For this reaction, the system, determine the signs of q, w, and AU. w = AU = Calculate the work done (in Joules) if the gas expands against a vacuum. Calculate the work done (in Joules) if the gas expands against a constant pressure of 3.5 atm.

What will be the final temperature of a mixture made from equal masses of the following: water at 25.0C, ethanol at 35.5C, and iron at 95C?
The heat of neutralization, Hneut, can be defined as the amount of heat released (or absorbed), q, per mole of acid (or base) neutralized. Hneut for nitric acid is -52 kJ/mol HNO3. At 27.3C, 50.00 mL of 0.743M HNO3 is neutralized by 1.00 M Sr(OH)2 in a coffee-cup calorimeter. (a) How many mL of Sr(OH)2 were used in the neutralization? (b) What is the final temperature of the resulting solution? (Use the assumptions in Question 11.)
On complete combustion at constant pressure, a 1.00-L sample of a gaseous mixture at 0C and 1.00 atm (STP) evolves 75.65 kJ of heat. If the gas is a mixture of ethane (C2H6) and propane (C3H8), what is the mole fraction of ethane in the mixture?
You heat 1.000 quart of water from 25.0C to its normal boiling point by burning a quantity of methane gas, CH4. What volume of methane at 23.0C and 745 mmHg would you require to heat this quantity of water, assuming that the methane is completely burned? The products are liquid water and gaseous carbon dioxide.
Sodium chloride is added in cooking to enhance the flavor of food. When 10.00 g of NaCl are dissolved in 200.0 mL of water at 25.0C in a coffee-cup calorimeter, 669 J of heat are absorbed. (You can make the following assumptions about the solution: volume =200.0 mL, density =1.00 g/mL, specific heat =4.18J/gC) (a) Is the solution process exothermic? (b) What is qH2O? (c) What is the final temperature of the solution?
How many mL of water at 10C (2 significant figures) must be added to 75 mL of water at 35C to obtain a final temperature of 19C? (Make the same assumptions as in Question 9.)
9.102 A runner generates 418 kJ of energy per kilometer from the cellular oxidation of food. The runner's body must dissipate this heat or the body will overheat. Suppose that sweat evaporation is the only important cooling mechanism. If you estimate the enthalpy of evaporation of water as 44 kJ/mol and assume that sweat can he treated as water, describe how you would estimate the volume of sweat that would have to be evaporated if the runner runs a 10-km race.
You are attending summer school and living in a very old dormitory. The day is oppressively hot. there is no air conditioner, and you cant open the windows of your room. There is a refrigerator in the room, however. In a stroke of genius, you open the door of the refrigerator, and cool air cascades out. The relief does not last long, though. Soon the refrigerator motor and condenser begin to run, and not long thereafter the room is hotter than it was before. Why did the room warm up?
Define the joule in terms of SI base units.
The enthalpy of combustion of isooctane (C8H18), one of the many hydrocarbons in gasoline, is 5.45 103 kJ/mol. Calculate the enthalpy change per gram of isooctane and per liter of isooctane (d = 0.688 g/mL).
Equal masses of liquid A, initially at 100C, and liquid B, initially at 50C, are combined in an insulated container. The final temperature of the mixture is 80C. All the heat flow occurs between the two liquids. The two liquids do not react with each other. Is the specific heat of liquid A larger than, equal to, or smaller than the specific heat of liquid B?
In the 1880s, Frederick Trouton noted that the enthalpy of vaporization of 1 mol pure liquid is approximately 88 times the boiling point, Tb, of the liquid on the Kelvin scale. This relationship is called Troutons rule and is represented by the thermochemical equation liquid gas H = 88 Tb, joules Combined with an empirical formula from chemical analysis, Troutons rule can be used to find the molecular formula of a compound, as illustrated here. A compound that contains only carbon and hydrogen is 85.6% C and 14.4% H. Its enthalpy of vaporization is 389 J/g, and it boils at a temperature of 322 K. (a) What is the empirical formula of this compound? (b) Use Troutons rule to calculate the approximate enthalpy or vaporization or one mole of the compound. Combine the enthalpy of vaporization per mole with that same quantity per gram to obtain an approximate molar mass of the compound. (c) Use the results of parts (a) and (b) to find the molecular formula of this compound. Remember that the molecular mass must be exactly a whole-number multiple of the empirical formula mass, so considerable rounding may be needed.
