- The temperature inside a sauna is 85.0°C. If 235.0g of solft drink straight from refrigerator (assumed to be at a temperature of 50.0°C) is brought into the sauna, how much heat will be absorbed by the soft drink? Assume that the specific heat of the soft drink is the same as that of water, 4.19kJ/kg°C.arrow_forwardThe combustion of propane (C3H8) produces 2220 kJ of energy per mole of propane consumed. What mass in grams of propane will be required to heat 55.0 gal of bathtub water from 25.0°C to 35.0°C if the process is 80.0% efficient? (1 gal = 3.785 L, 1 cal = 4.184 J, the density of water is 1.00 g/mL, the specific heat of water is 1.00 cal/(g°C)arrow_forwardThe nutritional calorie (Calorie) is equivalent to 1 kcal. One pound of body fat is equivalent to about 4.1 x 10³ Calories. If an athlete expends (1950 kJ/h), how long does it take her to work off 1.0 lb of body fat?arrow_forward
- Some homes that use baseboard heating use copper tubing. Hot water runs through and heats the copper tubing, which in turn heats aluminum fins. It is actually the aluminum fins that heat the air rising through the fins. How much energy would it take to heat a section of the copper tubing that weighs about 595.0 g , from 13.61 °C to 23.64 °C ? Copper has a specific heat of 0.3850 (J/g) · °C. Express your answer to four significant figures. • View Available Hint(s) ΑΣφ ? Heat = Jarrow_forwardA chemical reaction takes place inside a flask submerged in a water bath. The water bath contains 2.70kg of water at 39.2°C . During the reaction 128.kJ of heat flows out of the bath and into the flask. Calculate the new temperature of the water bath. You can assume the specific heat capacity of water under these conditions is 4.18·J·g−1K−1 . Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.arrow_forwardA student wishes to determine the heat capacity of a coffee-cup calorimeter. After she mixes 90.5 g of water at 67.5°C with 90.5 g of water, already in the calorimeter, at 19.1°C, the final temperature of the water is 35.0°C. Calculate the heat capacity of the calorimeter in J/K. Use 4.184 J/g°C as the specific heat of water. Enter your answer to three significant figures in unit of J/K.arrow_forward
- When 145 mL of 0.212 M NaCl(aq) and 145 mL of 0.212 M AgNO3(aq), both at 21.1°C, are mixed in a coffee cup calorimeter, the temperature of the mixture increases to 23.7°C as solid AgCl forms. NaCl(aq) + AgNO3(aq) → AgCl(s) + NaNO3(aq) This precipitation reaction produces 3.14 ✕ 103 J of heat, assuming no heat is absorbed by the calorimeter, no heat is exchanged between the calorimeter and its surroundings, and that the specific heat and density of the solutions are the same as those for water (4.18 J/g·°C, and 0.997 g/mL, respectively). Using this data, calculate ΔH in kJ/mol of AgNO3(aq) for the given reaction.arrow_forwardIf a system has 225 kcal of work done to it, and releases 5.00 x 10² kJ of heat into its surroundings, what is the change in internal energy (AE or AU) of the system?

When carrying 283 passengers on this route, the efficiency recorded by the aircraft approaches 64.2 miles/gallon per passenger. What is the minimum quantity of fuel that 1.00gal = 3.78L?arrow_forward
- Recycling aluminum consumes 95% less energy than refining the ore. Consider a material that requires a total energy of 100 kWh for refining. If recycling requires 95 % less energy compared to refining, the same mass of material can be recycled using 5 kWh of energy because 100 kWh – 95 kWh = 5 kWh. The 95 kWh is the energy saved. About 17 kWh of electricity is required to refine 1.0 kg of aluminum from its ore (17 kWh/kg). How many million kWh of energy is saved if a plant recycles 90 million kg of aluminum? Express your answer numerically to two significant figures in million kWh. Since the units are million kWh, you may skip multiplying by 10°.arrow_forward1.
