- How much heat, in joules and in calories, is required to heat a 28.4-g (1-oz) ice cube from 23.0 C to 1.0 C?arrow_forwardHydrogen is burned in oxygen to release heat (see equation below). How many grams of hydrogen gas must be burned to release enough heat to warm a 50.0-g block of iron from 21C to 225C? 2H2(g)+O2(g)2H2O(g);H=484kJ Iron has a specific heat of 0.449 J/(gC).arrow_forwardCarbon tetrachloride, CCl4, is a liquid used as an industrial solvent and in the preparation of fluorocarbons. What is the heat of vaporization of carbon tetrachloride? CCl4(l)CCl4(g);H=? Use standard enthalpies of formation (Table 6.2).arrow_forward
- You have two samples of different metals, metal A and metal B, each having the same mass. You heat both metals to 95C and then place each one into separate beakers containing the same quantity of water at 25C. a You measure the temperatures of the water in the two beakers when each metal has cooled by 10C and find that the temperature of the water with metal A is higher than the temperature of the water with metal B. Which metal has the greater specific heat? Explain. b After waiting a period of time, the temperature of the water in each beaker rises to a maximum value. In which beaker does the water temperature rise to the higher value, the one with metal A or the one with metal B? Explain.arrow_forwardA 45-g aluminum spoon (specific heat 0.88 J/g C) at 24 C is placed in 180 mL (180 g) of coffee at 85 C and the temperature of the two become equal. (a) What is the final temperature when the two become equal? Assume that coffee has the same specific heat as water. (b) The first time a student solved this problem she got an answer of 88 C. Explain why this is clearly an incorrect answer.arrow_forwardA 70.0-g piece of metal at 80.0 °C is placed in loo g of water at 22.0 °C contained in a calorimeter like that shown in Figure 5.12. The metal and water come to the same temperature at 24.6 °C. How much heat did the metal give up to the water? What is the specific heat of the metal?arrow_forward
- The “Chemistry in Focus” segment Nature Has Hot Plants discusses thermogenic, or heat-producing, plants. For some plants, enough heat is generated to increase the temperature of the blossom by 15 °C. About how much heat is required to increase the temperature of 1 L of water by 15 °C?arrow_forwardThe BTU (British thermal unit) is the unit of energy most commonly used in the United States. One joule=9.48104 BTU. What is the specific heat of water in BTU/lbF? (Specific heat of water is 4.18 J/g C.)arrow_forwardThe specific heat of copper metal was determined by putting a piece of the metal weighing 35.4 g in hot water. The quantity of heat absorbed by the metal was calculated to be 47.0 J from the temperature drop of the water. What was the specific heat of the metal if the temperature of the metal rose 3.45C?arrow_forward
- Limestone, CaCO3, when subjected to a temperature of 900C in a kiln, decomposes to calcium oxide and carbon dioxide. How much heat is evolved or absorbed when one gram of limestone decomposes? (Use Table 8.3.)arrow_forwardWhich produces more heat? Os(s)2O2(g)OsO4(s)orOs(s)2O2(g)OsO4(g) for the phase change OsO4(s)OsO4(g)H=56.4kJarrow_forwardQuinone is an important type of molecule that is involved in photosynthesis. The transport of electrons mediated by quinone in certain enzymes allows plants to take water, carbondioxide, and the energy of sunlight to create glucose. A 0.1964-g sample of quinone (C6H4O2) is burned in a bomb calorimeter with a heat capacity of 1.56 kJ/C. The temperature of the calorimeter increases by 3.2C. Calculate the energy of combustion of quinone per gram and per mole.arrow_forward
