(a)
Interpretation:
The amount of energy released when 2.5 mol of carbon reacts with oxygen to form carbon dioxide needs to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Combustion of any fuel takes place in the presence of oxygen to from carbon dioxide and water. It is an exothermic reaction or heat is released in the process. Enthalpy change of combustion can be defined as difference of formation energies between the products and reactants. In an endothermic reaction, energy is required whereas in exothermic reactions, energy is released.
(b)
Interpretation:
The amount of energy released when 3.0 mol of O2 react in carbon combustion reaction needs to be determined.

CaO(s)+H2O(l)Ca(OH)2(s);H=65.2kJ The heat released by this reaction is sufficient to ignite paper. How much heat is released when 28.6 g of calcium oxide reacts?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
- In a calorimetric experiment, 6.48 g of lithium hydroxide, LiOH, was dissolved in water. The temperature of the calorimeter rose from 25.00C to 36.66C. What is H for the solution process? LiOH(s)Li(aq)+OH(aq) The heat capacity of the calorimeter and its contents is 547 J/C.arrow_forwardConsider the following potential energy diagrams for two different reactions. Which plot represents an exothermic reaction? In plot a, do the reactants on average have stronger or weaker bonds than the products? In plot b, reactants must gain potential energy to convert to products. How does this occur?arrow_forwardWhen calcium carbonate, CaCO3 (the major constituent of limestone and seashells), is heated, it decomposes to calcium oxide (quicklime).

- Enthalpy a A 100.-g sample of water is placed in an insulated container and allowed to come to room temperature at 21C. To heat the water sample to 41C, how much heat must you add to it? b Consider the hypothetical reaction,2X(aq)+Y(l)X2Y(aq)being run in an insulated container that contains 100. g of solution. If the temperature of the solution changes from 21C to 31C, how much heat does the chemical reaction produce? How does this answer compare with that in part a? (You can assume that this solution is so dilute that it has the same heat capacity as pure water.) c If you wanted the temperature of 100. g of this solution to increase from 21C to 51C, how much heat would you have to add to it? (Try to answer this question without using a formula.) d If you had added 0.02 mol of X and 0.01 mol of Y to form the solution in part b, how many moles of X and Y would you need to bring about the temperature change described in part c. e Judging on the basis of your answers so far, what is the enthalpy of the reaction 2X(aq) + Y(l) X2Y(aq)?arrow_forwardAn iron skillet weighing 1.63 kg is heated on a stove to 178C.
