On a 12 day wilderness expedition you'll need to heat 3.0 kg of water to the boiling point each day. The air temperature will average 25 °C. You have available canisters of compressed propane (C,H, fuel, which you'll burn to heat the water. Each canister has 50. g of propane in it. What is the minimum number of fuel canisters you must bring? The standard heat of formation of propane at 25 °C is -103.8 kJ/mol. You'll probably find other helpful data in the ALEKS Data resource. canisters:

A 50-mL solution of a dilute AgNO3 solution is added to 100 mL of a base solution in a coffee-cup calorimeter. As Ag2O(s) precipitates, the temperature of the solution increases from 23.78 C to 25.19 C. Assuming that the mixture has the same specific heat as water and a mass of 150 g, calculate the heat q. Is the precipitation reaction exothermic or endothermic?

Assume that no heat is lost to the surroundings or to the calorimeter.
9.100 Two baking sheets are made of different metals. You purchase both and bake a dozen cookies on each sheet at the same time in your oven. You observe that after 9 minutes, the cookies on one sheet are slightly burned on the bottom, whereas those on the other sheet are fine. (You are curious and you vary the conditions so you know the result is not caused by the oven.) (a) How can you use this observation to infer something about the specific heat of the materials in the baking sheets? (b) What is themathematical reasoning (equation) that you need to support your conclusion?
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.

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.
