9.35 A piece of titanium metal with a mass of 20.8 g is heated in boiling water to 99.5°C and then dropped into a coffee cup calorimeter containing 75.0 g of water at 2 1.7°C. When thermal equilibrium is reached, the final temperature is 24.3°C. Calculate the specific heat capacity of titanium.
Microwave ovens convert radiation to energy. A microwave oven uses radiation with a wavelength of 12.5 cm. Assuming that all the energy from the radiation is converted to heat without loss, how many moles of photons are required to raise the temperature of a cup of water (350.0 g, specific heat =4.18J/gC) from 23.0C to 99.0C?
A sample of 0.562 g of carbon is burned in oxygen in a bomb calorimeter, producing carbon dioxide. Assume both the reactants and products are under standard state conditions, and that the heat released is directly proportional to the enthalpy of combustion of graphite. The temperature of the calorimeter increases from 26.74 C to 27.93 C. What is the heat capacity of the calorimeter and its contents?
The temperature of the cooling water as it leaves the hot engine of an automobile is 240 F. After it passes through the radiator it has a temperature of 175 F. Calculate the amount of heat transferred from the engine to the surroundings by one gallon of water with a specific heat of 4.184 J/g oC.
You drink 350 mL of diet soda that is at a temperature of 5 C. (a) How much energy will your body expend to raise the temperature of this liquid to body temperature (37 C)? Assume that the density and specific heat capacity of diet soda are the same as for water. (b) Compare the value in part (a) with the caloric content of the beverage. (The label says that it has a caloric content of 1 Calorie.) What is the net energy change in your body resulting from drinking this beverage? (1 Calorie = 1000 kcal = 4184 J.) (c) Carry out a comparison similar to that in part (b) for a nondiet beverage whose label indicates a caloric content of 240 Calories.
Quinone is an important type of molecule that is involved in photosynthesis. The transport of electrons mediated by quinone in certain enzymes allows plants to take water, carbondioxide, and the energy of sunlight to create glucose. A 0.1964-g sample of quinone (C6H4O2) is burned in a bomb calorimeter with a heat capacity of 1.56 kJ/C. The temperature of the calorimeter increases by 3.2C. Calculate the energy of combustion of quinone per gram and per mole.
Salicylic acid, C7H6O3, is one of the starting materials in the manufacture of aspirin. When 1.00 g of salicylic acid burns in a bomb calorimeter, the temperature of the bomb and water goes from 23.11C to 28.91C. The calorimeter and water absorb 21.9 kJ of heat. How much heat is given off when one mole of salicylic acid burns?
Another reaction that is used to propel rockets is N2O4(l)+2N2H4(l)3N2(g)+4H2O(g) This reaction has the advantage that neither product is toxic, so no dangerous pollution is released. When the reaction consumes 10.0 g liquid N2O4, it releases 124 kJ of heat. (a) Is the sign of the enthalpy change positive or negative? (b) What is the value of H for the chemical equation if it is understood to be written in molar quantities?
