Lime is a term that includes calcium oxide (CaO, also called quicklime) and calcium hydroxide [Ca(OH)2, also called slaked lime]. It is used in the steel industry to remove acidic impurities, in air-pollution control to remove acidic oxides such as SO2, and in water treatment. Quicklime is made industrially by heating limestone (CaCO3) above 2000°C:
Slaked lime is produced by treating quicklime with water:
The exothermic reaction of quicklime with water and the rather small specific heats of both quicklime (0.946 J/g · °C) and slaked lime (1.20 J/g · °C) make it hazardous to store and transport lime in vessels made of wood. Wooden sailing ships carrying lime would occasionally catch fire when water leaked into the hold. (a) If a 500-g sample of water reacts with an equimolar amount of CaO (both at an initial temperature of 25°C), what is the final temperature of the product, Ca(OH)2? Assume that the product absorbs all of the heat released in the reaction. (b) Given that the standard enthalpies of formation of CaO and H2O are −635.6 kJ/mol and −285.8 kJ/mol, respectively, calculate the standard enthalpy of formation of Ca(OH)2.

- For 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_forwardThe decomposition of ozone, O3, to oxygen, O2, is an exothermic reaction.

If you were to touch a flask in which ozone is decomposing to oxygen, would you expect the flask to feel warm or cool?arrow_forwardA 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?arrow_forward
