A 100 MW power plant uses the lake water at 20°C to condense the steam in a boiler operating at 800°C. What will be the minimum heat that accumulates in the lake as a result of this process? This type of heat build-up is known as thermal pollution and can make water unsuitable for many aquatic organisms. Assume that this process is carried out in a lake containing 6.0 x 109 m3 water. If the heat capacity of water is 4.184 J / g K, calculate the increase in temperature in one day?

the molar heat capacity of iron is 25.10 J mol –1 K–1 . A 25.0 g ball is heated until it is glowing red (to a temperature of 400.°C). It is dropped into a 50.0 mL container of water at 25.0°C. If the density of water is 0.997 g mL–1 , and the molar heat capacity of water is 4.186 J g–1 K–1 , what temperature (in K) will the ball and water equilibrate to? A) 338 B) 300 C) 317 D) 359 E) 342

A 3.000 g sample of food was then burned in a calorimeter to determine its Calories per gram content. 50mL of water were used to determine ΔT of the reaction. Initial temperature of the water at the start of the combustion reaction was 20oC, final temperature was 99oC. Calorimeter constant for this calorimeter is 10.0J/oC. How much heat has been absorbed by the water sample?

A gaseous fuel mixture contains 23.2% methane (CH4), 40.8% ethane (C₂H6) and the rest propane (C3H8) by volume. Part A When the fuel mixture contained in a 1.55 L tank, stored at 756 mmHg and 298 K, undergoes complete combustion, how much heat is emitted? (Assume that the water produced by the combustion is in the gaseous state.) Express your answer with the appropriate units. μA Value Units Review | Constants | Periodic Table ?

Calculate the specific heat capacity of an unknown metal if 30 grams of the unknown metal at 24.5°C is placed in a container containing 68.0 grams of water at 85°C. Then the water cools down and the metal warms up until thermal equilibrium is achieved at 79.1°C. Assume all the heat lost by the water is gained by the metal and the container is insulated. The specific heat capacity of water is 4.18 J g-1°C-1 1.02 5.32 2.81 0.45

The molar heat of solution of a substance is found to be +21.38 kJ/mol. The addition of 0.100 mol of this substance to 1.000L of water initially at 40.0 degrees celsius results in a temperature decrease. Assume the specific heat of the resulting solution to be equal to that of pure water. Find the final temperature of the solution (Also assume that the heat capacity of the calorimeter is negligible).

Measurements show that the enthalpy of a mixture of gaseous reactants increases by 195.kJ during a certain chemical reaction, which is carried out at a constant pressure. Furthermore, by carefully monitoring the volume change it is determined that 69.kJ of work is done on the mixture during the reaction.  Calculate the change in energy of the gas mixture during the reaction. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits. Is the reaction exothermic or endothermic?

When a solid dissolves in water, heat may be evolved or absorbed. The heat of dissolution (dissolving) can be determined using a coffee cup calorimeter. In the laboratory a general chemistry student finds that when 0.79 g of KOH(s) are dissolved in 104.10 g of water, the temperature of the solution increases from 24.69 to 26.63 °C. The heat capacity of the calorimeter (sometimes referred to as the calorimeter constant) was determined in a separate experiment to be 1.58 J/°C. Based on the student's observation, calculate the enthalpy of dissolution of KOH(s) in kJ/mol. Assume the specific heat of the solution is equal to the specific heat of water. kJ/mol AH dissolution = BrookaCom Cengage Leaming Thermometer Cardboard or Styrofoam lid Nested Styrofoam cups Reaction occurs in solution.

When a solid dissolves in water, heat may be evolved or absorbed. The heat of dissolution (dissolving) can be determined using a coffee cup calorimeter.
