A chemical reaction takes place inside a flask submerged in a water bath. The water bath contains 7,40 kg of water at 38.6 °C. During the reaction 88.6 kJ of heat flows out of the flask and into the bath. Calculate the new temperature of the water bath. You can assume the specific heat capacity of water under these conditions is 4.18 J-gK. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.

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 21.7 C. When thermal equilibrium is reached, the final temperature is 24.3 C. Calculate the specific heat capacity of titanium.
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.
The Group 2A carbonates decompose when heated. For example, MgCO3(s)MgO(s)+CO2(g) Use enthalpies of formation (see Appendix C) and calculate the heat required to decompose 10.0 g of magnesium carbonate.
A gas is cooled and loses 82 J of heat. The gas contracts as it cools, and work done on the system equal to 29 J is exchanged with the surroundings. What are q, w, and U?
The Group 2A carbonates decompose when heated. For example, BaCO3(s)BaO(s)+CO2(g) Use enthalpies of formation (see Appendix C) and calculate the heat required to decompose 6.50 g of barium carbonate.
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?
9.104 An engineer is using sodium metal as a cooling agent in a design because it has useful thermal properties. Looting up the heat capacity, the engineer finds a value of 28.2 J mol-l °C-l. Carelessly, he wrote this number down without units. As a result, it was later taken as specific heat. (a) What would he the difference between these two values? (b) Would the engineer overestimate the ability of sodium to remove heat from the system or underestimate it because of this error? Be sure to explain your reasoning.
You drink 350 mL of diet soda that is at a temperature of 5 C. (a) How much energy will your body expend to raise the temperature of this liquid to body temperature (37 C)? Assume that the density and specific heat capacity of diet soda are the same as for water. (b) Compare the value in part (a) with the caloric content of the beverage. (The label says that it has a caloric content of 1 Calorie.) What is the net energy change in your body resulting from drinking this beverage? (1 Calorie = 1000 kcal = 4184 J.) (c) Carry out a comparison similar to that in part (b) for a nondiet beverage whose label indicates a caloric content of 240 Calories.
9.97 Suppose that the working fluid inside an industrial refrigerator absorbs 680 J of energy for every gram of material that vaporizes in the evaporator. The refrigerator unit uses this energy flow as part of a cyclic system to keep foods cold. A new pallet of fruit with a mass of 500 kg is placed in the refrigerator. Assume that the specific heat of the fruit is the same as that of pure water because the fruit is mostly water. Describe how you would determine the mass of the working fluid that would have to be evaporated to lower the temperature of the fruit by 15C. List any information you would have to measure or look up.
Sulfur dioxide gas reacts with oxygen, O2(g), to produce SO3(g). This reaction releases 99.0 kJ of heat (at constant pressure) for each mole of sulfur dioxide that reacts. Write the thermochemical equation for the reaction of 2 mol of sulfur dioxide, and then also for the decomposition of 3 mol of sulfur trioxide gas into oxygen gas and sulfur dioxide gas. Do you need any other information to answer either question?
A 10.00-g sample of acetic acid, HC2H3O2, was burned in a bomb calorimeter in an excess of oxygen. HC2H3O2(l)+2O2(g)2CO2(g)+2H2O(l) The temperature of the calorimeter rose from 25.00C to 35.84C. If the heat capacity of the calorimeter and its contents is 13.43 kJ/C, what is the enthalpy change for the reaction?
A 110.-g sample of copper (specific heat capacity = 0.20 J/C g) is heated to 82.4C and then placed in a container of water at 22.3C. The final temperature of the water and copper is 24.9C. What is the mass of the water in the container, assuming that all the heat lost by the copper is gained by the water?
