When solid iron burns in oxygen gas (at constant pressure) to produce Fe2O3(s), 1651 kJ of heat is released for every 4 mol of iron burned. How much heat is released when 10.3 g Fe2O3(s) is produced (at constant pressure)? What additional information would you need to calculate the heat released to produce this much Fe2O3(s) if you burned iron in ozone gas, O3(g), instead of O2(g)?
Dry ice is solid carbon dioxide; it vaporizes at room temperature and normal pressures to the gas. Suppose you put 21.5 g of dry ice in a vessel fitted with a piston (similar to the one in Figure 6.9 but with the weight replaced by the atmosphere), and it vaporizes completely to the gas, pushing the piston upward until its pressure and temperature equal those of the surrounding atmosphere at 24.0C and 751 mmHg. Calculate the work done by the gas in expanding against the atmosphere. Neglect the volume of the solid carbon dioxide, which is very small in comparison to the volume of the gas phase.
Explain the difference between heat capacity and specific heat of a substance.
Nitrogen gas is confined in a cylinder with a movable piston under a constant pressure of 9.95 104 Pa. When 695 J of energy in the form of heat is transferred from the gas to the surroundings, its volume decreases by 1.88 L. What is the change in internal energy of the gas?
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?
