- 9.68 What are some features of petroleum that make it such an attractive fuel?arrow_forwardThe 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?arrow_forwardThe cooling effect of alcohol on the skin is due to its evaporation. Calculate the heat of vaporization of ethanol (ethyl alcohol), C2H5OH. C2H5OH(l)C2H5OH(g);H=? The standard enthalpy of formation of C2H5OH(l) is 277.7 kJ/mol and that of C2H5OH(g) is 235.1 kJ/mol.arrow_forward
- When steam condenses to liquid water, 2.26 kJ of heat is released per gram. The heat from 168 g of steam is used to heat a room containing 6.44 104 g of air (20 ft 12 ft 8 ft). The specific heat of air at normal pressure is 1.015 J/(gC). What is the change in air temperature, assuming the heat from the steam is all absorbed by air?arrow_forwardFor each of the following processes, predict the algebraic sign of rH, rS, and rG. No calculations are necessary; use your common sense. (a) The decomposition of liquid water to give gaseous oxygen and hydrogen, a process that requires a considerable amount of energy. (b) Dynamite is a mixture of nitroglycerin, C3H5N3O9, and diatomaceous earth. The explosive decomposition of nitroglycerin gives gaseous products such as water, CO2, and others; much heat is evolved. (c) The combustion of gasoline in the engine of your car, as exemplified by the combustion of octane. 2 C8H18(g) + 25 O2(g) 16 CO2(g) + 18 H2O(g)arrow_forward1. Which of the following processes requires the largest input of energy as heat? raising the temperature of 100 g of water by 1.0 °C vaporization of 0.10 g of water at 100 °C melting 1.0 g of ice at 0 °C warming 1.0 g of ice from −50 °C to 0 °C (specific heat of ice = 2.06 J/g · K)arrow_forward
- 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)arrow_forwardHow 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.arrow_forwardWhich evolves more energy on cooling from 50 C to 10 C: 50.0 g of water or 100. g of ethanol (Cethanol = 2.46 J/g K)?arrow_forward
