Using the information thus far in this chapter, explain why battery-powered electronics perform poorly in low temperatures.
Before the introduction of chlorofluorocarbons, sulfur dioxide (enthalpy of vaporization, 6.00 kcal/mol) was used in household refrigerators. What mass of SO2 must be evaporated to remove as much heat as evaporation of 1.00 kg of CC12F2 (enthalpy of vaporization is 17.4 kJ/mol)? The vaporization reactions for SO2 and are SO2(l)SO2(g) and CCl2F(l)CCl2F2(g), respectively.
The heat of neutralization, Hneut, can be defined as the amount of heat released (or absorbed), q, per mole of acid (or base) neutralized. Hneut for nitric acid is -52 kJ/mol HNO3. At 27.3C, 50.00 mL of 0.743M HNO3 is neutralized by 1.00 M Sr(OH)2 in a coffee-cup calorimeter. (a) How many mL of Sr(OH)2 were used in the neutralization? (b) What is the final temperature of the resulting solution? (Use the assumptions in Question 11.)
9.102 A runner generates 418 kJ of energy per kilometer from the cellular oxidation of food. The runner's body must dissipate this heat or the body will overheat. Suppose that sweat evaporation is the only important cooling mechanism. If you estimate the enthalpy of evaporation of water as 44 kJ/mol and assume that sweat can he treated as water, describe how you would estimate the volume of sweat that would have to be evaporated if the runner runs a 10-km race.
9.69 How are the roles of transmission substations and distribution substations in the electrical grid similar? How are they different?
Aside from reducing the use of fossil fuels and increasing the utilization of renewable forms of energy, propose one specific engineering intervention or solution that may slow down climate change. Describe, and illustrate if necessary, the details of how it works.
A number of companies currently lease solar panels to homeowners to offset the home’s energy use. The total energy production of a certain residential solar system in suburban Maryland was7581.62 kWh over the last calendar year. What mass of carbon dioxide did this solar systemkeep out of the atmosphere during that time, assuming that the energy consumed by this home would otherwise have been supplied solely by coal-burning power plants (note that this isn’t agreat assumption, as Maryland also has a nuclear power plant, solar and wind farms, and Montgomery County incinerates waste to generate electricity)? Keep in mind that power plants are inefficient, and are able to convert on average 33% of the heat generated by the combustion of coal into electricity. Assume that coal can be approximated as C(s) (again, not a great assumption, but sufficient for this problem). Use the following data to find the heat of combustion of coal:2 C(s) + O2(g)  2 CO(g) H = -222 kJCO(g) + H2(g) + O2(g) …
5. What evidence of incomplete combustion would each of the following devices show? K/UA (a) a Bunsen burner (b) automobile exhaust tailpipe (c) a gas fireplace 6. Suggest an explanation for each of the following events: K/UA (a) Cottagers died in their sleep while heating their cottage using portable propane heaters designed for use on patios. (b) A cloud of black smoke belches from the exhaust stack of a truck as the truck starts to move. (c) A Bunsen burner flame changes from yellow to blue as the burner is adjusted. (d) A candle flame produces more smoke as an inverted jar is lowered over the candle.

Long-term space missions require reclamation of the oxygen in the carbon dioxide exhaled by the crew. In one method of reclamation, 1.00 mol of carbon dioxide produces 1.00 mol of oxygen, with 1.00 mol of methane as a by-product. The methane is stored in a tank under pressure and is available to control the attitude of the spacecraft by controlled venting. A single astronaut exhales 1.19 kg of carbon dioxide each day. If the methane generated in the recycling of three astronauts' respiration during one week of flight is stored in an originally empty 165-L tank at −45.0°C, what is the final pressure in the tank? (MPa)
