lacmillan Learning Carbohydrates serve as a vital source of chemical energy to the human body. Carbohydrates are broken down into smaller units of glucose, among other sugars, providing energy to various muscles and organs, including the brain. On average, for every 7.00 g of carbohydrates consumed, the body will store 119 kJ of energy. Convert this energy value to kilocalories (kcal).

Which is the least expensive source of energy in kilojoules per dollar: a box of breakfast cereal that weighs 32 ounces and costs $4.23, or a liter of isooctane (density, 0.69 19 g/mL) that costs $0.45? Compare the nutritional value of the cereal with the heat produced by combustion of the isooctane under standard conditions. A 1.0-ounce serving of the cereal provides 130 Calories.
Magnesium sulfate is often used in first-aid hot packs, giving off heat when dissolved in water. A coffee-cup calorimeter at 25C contains 15.0 mL of water at 25C. A 2.00-g sample of MgSO4 is dissolved in the water and 1.51 kJ of heat are evolved. (You can make the following assumptions about the solution: volume=15.0 mL, density=1.00 g/mL, specific heat=4.18J/gC.) (a) Write a balanced equation for the solution process. (b) Is the process exothermic? (c) What is qH2O? (d) What is the final temperature of the solution? (e) What are the initial and final temperatures in F?
When one mol of KOH is neutralized by sulfuric acid, q=56 kJ. (This is called the heat of neutralization.) At 23.7C, 25.0 mL of 0.475 M H2SO4 is neutralized by 0.613 M KOH in a coffee-cup calorimeter. Assume that the specific heat of all solutions is 4.18J/gC, that the density of all solutions is 1.00 g/mL, and that volumes are additive. (a) How many mL of KOH is required to neutralize H2SO4? (b) What is the final temperature of the solution?
A 21.3-mL sample of 0.977 M NaOH is mixed with 29.5 mL of 0.918 M HCl in a coffee-cup calorimeter (see Section 6.6 of your text for a description of a coffee-cup calorimeter). The enthalpy of the reaction, written with the lowest whole-number coefficients, is 55.8 kJ. Both solutions are at 19.6C prior to mixing and reacting. What is the final temperature of the reaction mixture? When solving this problem, assume that no heat is lost from the calorimeter to the surroundings, the density of all solutions is 1.00 g/mL, the specific heat of all solutions is the same as that of water, and volumes are additive.
A 29.1-mL sample of 1.05 M KOH is mixed with 20.9 mL of 1.07 M HBr in a coffee-cup calorimeter (see Section 6.6 of your text for a description of a coffee-cup calorimeter). The enthalpy of the reaction, written with the lowest whole-number coefficients, is 55.8 kJ. Both solutions are at 21.8C prior to mixing and reacting. What is the final temperature of the reaction mixture? When solving this problem, assume that no heat is lost from the calorimeter to the surroundings, the density of all solutions is 1.00 g/mL, and volumes are additive.
What is the maximum mass of carbohydrate in a 6-oz serving of diet soda that contains less than 1 Calorie per can if the average number of Calories for carbohydrates is 4.1 Calories/g?
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.)

The amount of fat recommended for someone with a daily diet of 2000 Calories is 65 g. What percent of the calories in this diet would be supplied by this amount of fat if the average number of Calories for fat is 9.1 Calories/g?
9.85 The figure below shows a "self-cooling" beverage can. The can is equipped with an outer jacket containing sodium carbonate (Na2CO3), which dissolves in water rapidly and endothermically: Na2CO3(s)2Na+(aq)+CO32(aq) H= 67.7 kJ The user adds water to the outer jacket, and the heat absorbed in the chemical reaction chills the drink. The can contains 200 g of drink, the jacket contains 55 g of Na2CO3, and 100 g of water is to be added. If the initial temperatures of the can and the water are both 32°C on a summer day, what is the coldest temperature that the drink can reach? The can itself has a heat capacity of 40 J/C Assume that the Na2CO3 solution and the drink both have the same heat capacity as pure water, 4.184 J g-l C-l, (HINT: Treat this like a calorimetry problem.)
Insoluble PbBr2(s) precipitates when solutions of Pb(NO3)2(aq) and NaBr(aq) are mixed. Pb(NO3)2(aq) + 2 NaBr(aq) PbBr2(s) + 2 NaNO3(aq) rH = ? To measure the enthalpy change, 200. mL. of 0.75 M Pb(NO3)2(aq) and 200. mL of 1.5 M NaBr(aq) are mixed in a coffee-cup calorimeter. The temperature of the mixture rises by 2.44 C. Calculate the enthalpy change for the precipitation of PbBr2(s), in kJ/mol. (Assume the density of the solution is 1.0 g/mL., and its specific heat capacity is 4.2 J/g K.)
