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.
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?

Consider 2.00 moles of an ideal gas that are taken from state A (PA = 2.00 atm, vA = 10.0 L) to state B (PB = 1.00 attn, VB = 30.0 L) by two different pathways: These pathways are summarized on the following graph of P versus V: Calculate the work (in units of J) associated with the two pathways. Is work a state function? Explain.
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?

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.
