Magnesium sulfate is often used in first-aid hot packs, giving off heat when dissolved in water. A coffee-cup calorimeter at 25C contains 15.0 mL of water at 25C. A 2.00-g sample of MgSO4 is dissolved in the water and 1.51 kJ of heat are evolved. (You can make the following assumptions about the solution: volume=15.0 mL, density=1.00 g/mL, specific heat=4.18J/gC.) (a) Write a balanced equation for the solution process. (b) Is the process exothermic? (c) What is qH2O? (d) What is the final temperature of the solution? (e) What are the initial and final temperatures in F?

Isooctane is a primary component of gasoline and gives gasoline its octane rating. Burning 1.00 mL of isooctane (d=0.688g/mL) releases 33.0 kJ of heat. When 10.00 mL of isooctane are burned in a bomb calorimeter, the temperature in the bomb and water rises from 23.2C to 66.5C. The bomb contains 1.00 kg of water. What is the heat capacity of the calorimeter?
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.
To make a glass of iced tea, you pour 250 mL of tea, whose temperature is 18.2 C, into a glass containing five ice cubes. Each cube has a mass of 15 g. What quantity of ice will melt, and how much ice will remain floating in the tea? Assume iced tea has a density of 1.0 g/mL and a specific heat capacity of 4.2 J/g K, that energy is transferred only as heat within the system, ice is at 0.0 C, and no energy is transferred between system and surroundings.
