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 piece of aluminum with a mass of 250. g is at an initial temperature of 5.0 C. If 24.1 kJ is supplied to warm the Al, calculate its final temperature. Obtain the specific heat capacity of Al from Table 4.1. Table 4.1 Representative Specific Heat Capacities
A 5.00-g sample of aluminum pellets (specific heat capacity = 0.89 J/C g) and a 10.00-g sample of iron pellets (specific heat capacity = 0.45 J/C g) are heated to 100.0C. The mixture of hot iron and aluminum is then dropped into 97.3 g water at 22.0C. Calculate the final temperature of the metal and water mixture, assuming no heat loss to the surroundings.
When 50.0 g of 0.200 M NaCl(aq) at 24.1 C is added to 100.0 g of 0.100 M AgNO3(aq) at 24.1 C in a calorimeter, the temperature increases to 25.2 C as AgCl(s) forms. Assuming the specific heat of the solution and products is 4.20 J/g C, calculate the approximate amount of heat in joules produced.
The enthalpy of vaporization for water is 40.65 kJ mol-1. As a design engineer for a project in a desert climate, you are exploring the option of using evaporative cooling. (a) If the air has an average volumetric heat capacity of 0.00130 J cm-3 K-1, what is the minimum mass of water that would need to evaporate in order to cool a 5 m? 5 m room with a 3 m ceiling by 5°F using this method? (b) Is this a spontaneous or nonspontaneous process?
Calculate the internal energy change for each of the following. a. One hundred (100.) joules of work is required to compress a gas. At the same time, the gas releases 23 J of heat. b. A piston is compressed from a volume of 8.30 L to 2.80 L against a constant pressure of 1.90 atm. In the process, there is a heat gain by the system of 350. J. c. A piston expands against 1.00 atm of pressure from 11.2 L to 29.1 L. In the process, 1037 J of heat is absorbed.
How much will the temperature of a cup (180 g) of coffee at 95 C be reduced when a 45 g silver spoon (specific heat 0.24 J/g C) at 25 C is placed in the coffee and the two are allowed to reach the same temperature? Assume that the coffee has the same density and specific heat as water.
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?
Nitromethane, CH3NO2, is a good fuel. It is a liquid at ordinary temperatures. When the liquid is burned, the reaction involved is chiefly 2CH3NO2(l)+32O2(g)2CO2(g)+N2(g)+3H2O(g) The standard enthalpy of formation of liquid nitromethaneat 25°C is 112kJmol1; other relevant values can be found in Appendix D. Calculate the enthalpy change in the burning of 1 molliquid nitromethane to form gaseous products at25°C. State explicitly whether the reaction is endothermicor exothermic. Would more or less heat be evolved if gaseous nitromethanewere burned under the same conditions?Indicate what additional information (if any) you would need to calculate the exact amount of heat, and show just how you would use this information.
A wad of steel wool (specific heat=0.45J/gC) at 25C is misplaced in a microwave oven, which later is accidentally turned on high. The oven generates microwaves of 13.5 cm wavelength at the rate of 925 moles of those photons per second. All of the photons are converted to high-heat energy, raising the temperature of the steel wool. Steel wool reacts explosively with the oxygen in the oven when the steel wool reaches 400.0C. If the steel wool explodes after 1.55 seconds, how many grams of steel wool were accidentally put into the oven?
Nitric acid, HNO3, can be prepared by the following sequence of reactions: 4NH3(g)+5O2(g)4NO(g)+6H2O(g)2NO(g)+O2(g)2NO2(g)3NO2(g)+H2O(l)2HNO3(l)+NO(g) How much heat is evolved when 1 mol of NH3(g) is converted to HNO3(l)? Assume standard states at 25 C.
