High-quality audio amplifiers generate large amounts of heat. To dissipate the heat and prevent damage to the electronic components, heat-radiating metal fins are used. Would it be better to make these fins out of iron or aluminum? Why? (See Table 7- l for specific heat capacities.)
How many moles of isooctane must be burned to produce loo U of heat under standard state conditions?
9.32 The material typically used to heat metal radiators is water. If a boiler generates water at 79.5°C, what mass of water was needed to provide the heat required in the previous problem? Water has a specific heat of 4.184Jg1 C1 .
In a bomb calorimeter, the reaction vessel is surrounded by water that must be added for each experiment. Since the amount of water is not constant from experiment to experiment, the mass of water must be measured in each case. The heat capacity of the calorimeter is broken down into two parts: the water and the calorimeter components. If a calorimeter contains 1.00 kg water and has a total heat capacity of 10.84 kJ/C, what is the heat capacity of the calorimeter components?
9.62 Sulfur trioxide can be removed from the exhaust gases of power plants hy reaction with lime. The relevant reaction is CaO(s)+SO4(g)CaSO4(s) , with H= -886 kJ. If 240 kg of SO3 is to be removed, how much heat is released?
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.
How much heat is produced by burning 4.00 moles of acetylene under standard state conditions?
The enthalpy change for the reaction CH4(g)+2O2(g)CO2(g)+2H2O(l) is 891 kJ for the reaction as written. a. What quantity of heat is released for each mole of water formed? b. What quantity of heat is released for each mole of oxygen reacted?
When a 0.740-g sample of trinitrotoluene (TNT), C7H5N2O6, is burned in a bomb calorimeter, the temperature increases from 23.4 C to 26.9 C. The heat capacity of the calorimeter is 534 J/C, and it contains 675 mL of water. How much heat was produced by the combustion of the TNT sample?
Although the gas used in an oxyacetylene torch (Figure 5.7) is essentially pure acetylene, the heat produced by combustion of one mole of acetylene in such a torch is likely not equal to the enthalpy of combustion of acetylene listed in Table 5.2. Considering the conditions for which the tabulated data are reported, suggest an explanation.
