9.50 When a 13.0-g sample of NaOH(s) dissolves in 400.0 mL of water in a coffee cup calorimeter, the temperature of the water changes from 22.6°C to 30.7C Assuming that the specific heat capacity of the solution is the same as for water, calculate (a) the heat transfer from system to surroundings and (b) H for the reaction NaOH(s)Na+(aq)+OH(aq)
A sample of nickel is heated to 99.8C and placed in a coffee-cup calorimeter containing 150.0 g water at 23.5C. After the metal cools, the final temperature of metal and water mixture is 25.0C. If the specific heat capacity of nickel is 0.444 J/C g, what mass of nickel was originally heated? Assume no heat loss to the surroundings.
9.35 A piece of titanium metal with a mass of 20.8 g is heated in boiling water to 99.5°C and then dropped into a coffee cup calorimeter containing 75.0 g of water at 2 1.7°C. When thermal equilibrium is reached, the final temperature is 24.3°C. Calculate the specific heat capacity of titanium.
9.100 Two baking sheets are made of different metals. You purchase both and bake a dozen cookies on each sheet at the same time in your oven. You observe that after 9 minutes, the cookies on one sheet are slightly burned on the bottom, whereas those on the other sheet are fine. (You are curious and you vary the conditions so you know the result is not caused by the oven.) (a) How can you use this observation to infer something about the specific heat of the materials in the baking sheets? (b) What is themathematical reasoning (equation) that you need to support your conclusion?
A sample of 0.562 g of carbon is burned in oxygen in a bomb calorimeter, producing carbon dioxide. Assume both the reactants and products are under standard state conditions, and that the heat released is directly proportional to the enthalpy of combustion of graphite. The temperature of the calorimeter increases from 26.74 C to 27.93 C. What is the heat capacity of the calorimeter and its contents?
Adding 5.44 g of NH4NO3(s) to 150.0 g of water in a coffee-cup calorimeter (with stirring to dissolve the salt) resulted in a decrease in temperature from 18.6 C to 16.2 C. Calculate the enthalpy change for dissolving NH4NO3(s) in water, in kJ/mol. Assume the solution (whose mass is 155.4 g) has a specific heat capacity of 4.2 J/g K. (Cold packs take advantage of the fact that dissolving ammonium nitrate in water is an endothermic process.)
A 5.00-g sample of aluminum pellets (specific heat capacity = 0.89 J/C g) and a 10.00-g sample of iron pellets (specific heat capacity = 0.45 J/C g) are heated to 100.0C. The mixture of hot iron and aluminum is then dropped into 97.3 g water at 22.0C. Calculate the final temperature of the metal and water mixture, assuming no heat loss to the surroundings.
The head of a strike anywhere match contains tetraphosphorus trisulfide, P4S3. In an experiment, a student burned this compound in an excess of oxygen and found that it evolved 3651 kJ of heat per mole of P4S3 at a constant pressure of 1 atm. She wrote the following thermochemical equation: P4S3(s)+8O2(g)P4O10(s)+3SO2(g);H=3651kJ Calculate the standard enthalpy of formation of P4S3, using this students result and the following standard enthalpies of formation: P4O10(s), 3009.9 kJ/mol; SO2(g), 296.8 kJ/mol. How does this value compare with the value given in Appendix C?
A 250-g sample of water at 20.0C is placed in a freezer that is held at a constant temperature of 20.0C.
