In the “Chemistry in Focus” segment Firewalking: Magic or Science?, it is claimed that one reason people can walk on hot coals is that human tissue is mainly composed of water. Because of this, a large amount of heat must be transferred from the coals to change the temperature of the feet significantly. How much heat must be transferred to 100.0 g of water to change its temperature by 35 °C?
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.
A 244-g amount of coffee in an open plastic cup cools from 80.0C to 20.0C. Assuming no loss of mass and a heat capacity of liquid water, determine w, q, U, and H for the process. The densities of water are dH2O, 80.0C = 0.9718g/cm3 and dH2O, 20.0C =0.9982 g/cm3.
An aluminum kettle weighs 1.05 kg. (a) What is the heat capacity of the kettle? (b) How much heat is required to increase the temperature of this kettle from 23.0 C to 99.0 C? (c) How much heat is required to heat this kettle from 23.0 C to 99.0 C if it contains 1.25 L of water (density of 0.997 g/mL and a specific heat of 4.184 J/g C)?
You have the six pieces of metal listed below, plus a beaker of water containing 3.00 102 g of water. The water temperature is 21.00 C. (a) In your first experiment you select one piece of metal and heat it to 100 C, and then select a second piece of metal and cool it to 10 C. Both pieces of metal are then placed in the beaker of water and the temperatures equilibrated. You want to select two pieces of metal to use, such that the final temperature of the water is as high as possible. What piece of metal will you heat? What piece of metal will you cool? What is the final temperature of the water? (b) The second experiment is done in the same way as the first. However, your goal now is to cause the temperature to change the least, that is, the final temperature should be as near to 21.00 C as possible. What piece of metal will you heat? What piece of metal will you cool? What is the final temperature of the water?

A cubic piece of uranium metal (specific heat capacity = 0.117 J/C g) at 200.0C is dropped into 1.00 L deuterium oxide ("heavy water;" specific heat capacity = 4.21 I J/C g) at 25.5C.

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 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.
9.86 You make some iced tea by dropping 134 g of ice into 500.0 mL of warm tea in an insulated pitcher. If the tea is initially at 20.0°C and the ice cubes are initially at 0.0°C, how many grams of ice will still be present when the contents of the pitcher reach a final temperature? The tea is mostly water, so assume that it has the same density (1.0 g/mL), molar mass, heat capacity (75.3 J K-1 mol-1), and heat of fusion (6.0 kJ/mol) as pure water. The heat capacity of ice is 37.7 J K-l mol-l.
