Chapter 5, Problem 38E
Which is the least expensive source of energy in kilojoules per dollar: a box of breakfast cereal that weighs 32 ounces and costs $4.23, or a liter of isooctane (density, 0.69 19 g/mL) that costs $0.45? Compare the nutritional value of the cereal with the heat produced by combustion of the isooctane under standard conditions. A 1.0-ounce serving of the cereal provides 130 Calories.

- In a bomb calorimeter, the reaction vessel is surrounded by water that must be added for each experiment. Since the amount of water is not constant from experiment to experiment, the mass of water must be measured in each case. The heat capacity of the calorimeter is broken down into two parts: the water and the calorimeter components. If a calorimeter contains 1.00 kg water and has a total heat capacity of 10.84 kJ/C, what is the heat capacity of the calorimeter components?arrow_forwardThe 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.arrow_forwardA piece of chocolate cake contains about 400 calories. A nutritional calorie is equal to 1000 calories (thermochemical calories), which is equal to 4.184 kJ. How many 8-in-high steps must a 180-lb man climb to expend the 400 Cal from the piece of cake? See Exercise 28 for the formula for potential energy.arrow_forward
- 9.97 Suppose that the working fluid inside an industrial refrigerator absorbs 680 J of energy for every gram of material that vaporizes in the evaporator. The refrigerator unit uses this energy flow as part of a cyclic system to keep foods cold. A new pallet of fruit with a mass of 500 kg is placed in the refrigerator. Assume that the specific heat of the fruit is the same as that of pure water because the fruit is mostly water. Describe how you would determine the mass of the working fluid that would have to be evaporated to lower the temperature of the fruit by 15C. List any information you would have to measure or look up.arrow_forward9.104 An engineer is using sodium metal as a cooling agent in a design because it has useful thermal properties. Looting up the heat capacity, the engineer finds a value of 28.2 J mol-l °C-l. Carelessly, he wrote this number down without units. As a result, it was later taken as specific heat. (a) What would he the difference between these two values? (b) Would the engineer overestimate the ability of sodium to remove heat from the system or underestimate it because of this error? Be sure to explain your reasoning.arrow_forward9.85 The figure below shows a "self-cooling" beverage can. The can is equipped with an outer jacket containing sodium carbonate (Na2CO3), which dissolves in water rapidly and endothermically: Na2CO3(s)2Na+(aq)+CO32(aq) H= 67.7 kJ The user adds water to the outer jacket, and the heat absorbed in the chemical reaction chills the drink. The can contains 200 g of drink, the jacket contains 55 g of Na2CO3, and 100 g of water is to be added. If the initial temperatures of the can and the water are both 32°C on a summer day, what is the coldest temperature that the drink can reach? The can itself has a heat capacity of 40 J/C Assume that the Na2CO3 solution and the drink both have the same heat capacity as pure water, 4.184 J g-l C-l, (HINT: Treat this like a calorimetry problem.)arrow_forward
- 9.82 The specific heat of gold is 0.13 J g-1 K-1 and that of copper is 0.39 J g-1 K-1. Suppose that we heat both a 25-g sample of gold and a 25-g sample of copper to 80C and then drop them into identical beakers containing 100 mL of cold water at 10°C. When each beaker reaches thermal equilibrium, which of the following will be true, and why? (You should not need to calculate the actual temperatures here.) (a) Both beakers will be at the same temperature. (b) The beaker with the copper sample in it will be at a higher temperature. (c) The beaker with the gold sample in it will be at a higher temperaturearrow_forwardA typical fat in the body is glyceryl trioleate, C57H104O6. When it is metabolized in the body, it combines with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide, water, and 3.022104 kJ of heat per mole of fat. (a) Write a balanced thermochemical equation for the metabolism of fat. (b) How many kilojoules of energy must be evolved in the form of heat if you want to get rid of five pounds of this fat by combustion? (c) How many nutritional calories is this? (1 nutritional calories =1103 calories)arrow_forwardYou 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.arrow_forward
- Hydrogen sulfide, H2S, is produced during decomposition of organic matter. When 0.5000 mol H2S burns to produce SO2(g) and H2O(l), 281.0 kJ of heat is released. What is this heat in kilocalories?arrow_forwardHydrogen is an ideal fuel in many respects; for example, the product of its combustion, water, is nonpolluting. The heat given off in burning hydrogen to gaseous water is 5.16 104 Btu per pound. What is this heat energy in joules per gram? (1 Btu = 252 cal; see also Table 1.4.)arrow_forward
