Equal masses of liquid A, initially at 100C, and liquid B, initially at 50C, are combined in an insulated container. The final temperature of the mixture is 80C. All the heat flow occurs between the two liquids. The two liquids do not react with each other. Is the specific heat of liquid A larger than, equal to, or smaller than the specific heat of liquid B?
The enthalpy change when 1 mol methane (CH4) is burned is 890 kJ. It takes 44.0 kJ to vaporize 1 mol water. What mass of methane must be burned to provide the heat needed to vaporize 1.00 g water?
Benzene, C6H6, is an organic liquid that freezes at 5.5 C (Figure 11.1) to form beautiful, feather-like crystals. How much energy is evolved as heat when 15.5 g of benzene freezes at 5.5 C? (The enthalpy of fusion of benzene is 9.95 kJ/mol.) If the 15.5-g sample is remelted, again at 5.5 C, what quantity of energy is required to convert it to a liquid?
If you want to convert 56.0 g ice (at 0 °C) to water at 75.0 °C, calculate how many grams of propane, C3H8, you would have to bum to supply the energy to melt the ice and then warm it to the final temperature (at 1 bar).
Sublimation is the phase change from solid to gas without going through a liquid phase. Solid CO2, called dry ice, is an example of one substance that sublimed. Use Hesss law to show that the enthalpy of sublimation, subH, is equal to fusH vapH.
It has been determined that the body can generate 5500 kJ of energy during one hour of strenuous exercise. Perspiration is the bodys mechanism for eliminating this heat. What mass of water would have to be evaporated through perspiration to rid the body of the heat generated during 2 hours of exercise? (The heat of vaporization of water is 40.6 kJ/mol.)
On a hot day, you take a six-pack ot a on a pcmc, cooling it with ice. Each empty (aluminum) can weighs 12.5 g. A can contains 12.0 oz of soda. The specific heat of aluminum is 0.902 J/g C; take that of soda to be 4.10 J/g C. (a) How much heat must be absorbed from the six-pack to lower the temperature from 25.00 to 5.00C? (b) How much ice must be melted to absorb this amount of heat? (Hfus of ice is given in Table 8.2.)
Suppose you wanted to cool 100. g of water from 20 C to 0 C using dry ice, CO2(s). The enthalpy of sublimation of CO2(s) is 25.2 kJ/mol. What mass of dry ice should you need? (a) 033 g (b) 15 g (c) 3.5 g (d) 150 g
9.95 How much heat is required to convert 250 g of water from liquid at 23°C: into steam at 107°C? (The necessary heat capacities and enthalpy changes can be found in the chapter or online.)
A student is asked to calculate the amount of heat involved in changing 10.0 g of liquid bromine at room temperature (22.5C) to vapor at 59.0C.To do this, one must use Tables 8.1 and 8.2 for information on the specific heat, boiling point, and heat of vaporization of bromine. In addition, the following step-wise process must be followed. (a) Calculate H for: Br2(l,22.5C)Br2(l,59.0C) (b) Calculate H for: Br2(l,59.0C)Br2(g,59.0C) (c) Using Hess's law, calculate H for: Br2(l,22.5C)Br2(g,59.0C)
Evaporation of sweat requires energy and thus take excess heat away from the body. Some of the water that you drink may eventually be converted into sweat and evaporate. If you drink a 20-ounce bottle of water that had been in the refrigerator at 3.8 C, how much heat is needed to convert all of that water into sweat and then to vapor? (Note: Your body temperature is 36.6 oc. For the purpose of solving this problem, assume that the thermal properties of sweat are the same as for water.)
Chloromethane, CH3CI, arises from microbial fermentation and is found throughout the environment. It is also produced industrially, is used in the manufacture of various chemicals, and has been used as a topical anesthetic. How much energy is required to convert 92.5 g of liquid to a vapor at its boiling point, 24.09 C? (The heat of vaporization of CH3Cl is 21.40 kJ/mol.)
