A student performing a calorimetry experiment combined 100.0 ml. of 0.50 M HCI and 100.0 ml. of 0.50 M NaOH in a StyrofoamTM cup calorimeter. Both solutions were initially at 20.0 C, but when the two were mixed, the temperature rose to 23.2 C (a) Suppose the experiment is repeated in the same calorimeter but this time using 200 mL of 0.50 M HCl and 200.0 ml of 0.50 M NaOH. WIII the AT observed be greater than, less than, or equal to that in the first experiment, and why? (b) Suppose that the experiment is repeated once again in the same calorimeter, this time using 100 mL of 1.00 M HCI and 100.0 ml. of 1.00 M NaOH. Will the T observed be greater than, less than, or equal to that in the first experiment, and why?
Use the same fat described in Question 27. (a) Write a thermochemical equation for the metabolism of fat. (b) A dieter reduces his food intake by 425 nutritional calories a day (1 nutritional calorie=1000calories). How many kJ can he lose in one day?

A wad of steel wool (specific heat=0.45J/gC) at 25C is misplaced in a microwave oven, which later is accidentally turned on high. The oven generates microwaves of 13.5 cm wavelength at the rate of 925 moles of those photons per second. All of the photons are converted to high-heat energy, raising the temperature of the steel wool. Steel wool reacts explosively with the oxygen in the oven when the steel wool reaches 400.0C. If the steel wool explodes after 1.55 seconds, how many grams of steel wool were accidentally put into the oven?
Peanuts and peanut oil are organic materials and bum in air. How many burning peanuts does it take to provide the energy to boil a cup of water (250 mL of water)? To solve this problem, we assume each peanut, with an average mass of 0.73 g, is 49% peanut oil and 21% starch; the remainder is noncombustible We further assume peanut oil is palmitic acid, C16H32O2, with an enthalpy of formation of 848.4 kJ/mol. Starch is a long chain of C6H10O5 units, each unit having an enthalpy of formation of 960 kJ.

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.

In the reaction of two moles of gaseous hydrogen and one mole of gaseous oxygen to form two moles of gaseous water vapor, two moles of products are formed from three moles of reactants.

(b) The enthalpy change for this reaction is 483.6 kJ. Use this value, along with the answer to (a), to calculate rU, the change in internal energy in the system.
9.96 Most first aid "cold packs" are based on the endothermic dissolution of ammonium nitrate in water: NH4NO3(s)NH4+(aq)+NO3(aq) H= 25.69 kJ A particular cold pack contains 50.0 g of NH4NO3 and 125.0 g of water.
