- The 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_forwardOne step in the manufacturing of sulfuric acid is the conversion of SO2(g) to SO3(g). The thermochemical equation for this process is SO2(g)+12O2(g)SO3(g)H=98.9kJ The second step combines the SO3 with H2O to make H2SO4. (a) Calculate the enthalpy change that accompanies the reaction to make 1.00 kg SO3(g). (b) Is heat absorbed or released in this process?arrow_forwardAn industrial process for manufacturing sulfuric acid, H2SO4, uses hydrogen sulfide, H2S, from the purification of natural gas. In the first step of this process, the hydrogen sulfide is burned to obtain sulfur dioxide, SO2. 2H2S(g)+3O2(g)2H2O(l)+2SO2(g);H=1124kJ The density of sulfur dioxide at 25C and 1.00 atm is 2.62 g/L, and the molar heat capacity is 30.2 J/(mol C). (a) How much heat would be evolved in producing 1.00 L of SO2 at 25C and 1.00 atm? (b) Suppose heat from this reaction is used to heat 1.00 L of the SO2 from 25C to 500C for its use in the next step of the process. What percentage of the heat evolved is required for this?arrow_forward
- The enthalpy of combustion of isooctane (C8H18), one of the many hydrocarbons in gasoline, is 5.45 103 kJ/mol. Calculate the enthalpy change per gram of isooctane and per liter of isooctane (d = 0.688 g/mL).arrow_forwardThe thermochemical equation for the burning of methane, the main component of natural gas, is CH4(g)+2O2(g)CO2(g)+2H2O(l)H=890kJ (a) Is this reaction endothermic or exothermic? (b) What quantities of reactants and products are assumed if H = 890 kJ? (c) What is the enthalpy change when 1.00 g methane burns in an excess of oxygen?arrow_forwardThe heat of neutralization, Hneut, can be defined as the amount of heat released (or absorbed), q, per mole of acid (or base) neutralized. Hneut for nitric acid is -52 kJ/mol HNO3. At 27.3C, 50.00 mL of 0.743M HNO3 is neutralized by 1.00 M Sr(OH)2 in a coffee-cup calorimeter. (a) How many mL of Sr(OH)2 were used in the neutralization? (b) What is the final temperature of the resulting solution? (Use the assumptions in Question 11.)arrow_forward
- 9.102 A runner generates 418 kJ of energy per kilometer from the cellular oxidation of food. The runner's body must dissipate this heat or the body will overheat. Suppose that sweat evaporation is the only important cooling mechanism. If you estimate the enthalpy of evaporation of water as 44 kJ/mol and assume that sweat can he treated as water, describe how you would estimate the volume of sweat that would have to be evaporated if the runner runs a 10-km race.arrow_forwardEvaporation of sweat requires energy and thus take excess heat away from the body. Some of the water that you drink may eventually be converted into sweat and evaporate. If you drink a 20-ounce bottle of water that had been in the refrigerator at 3.8 C, how much heat is needed to convert all of that water into sweat and then to vapor? (Note: Your body temperature is 36.6 oc. For the purpose of solving this problem, assume that the thermal properties of sweat are the same as for water.)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 compound is 82.7% carbon and 17.3% hydrogen, and has a molar mass of approximately 60 g/mol. When 1.000 g of this compound burns in excess oxygen, the enthalpy change is 49.53 kJ. (a) What is the empirical formula of this compound? (b) What is the molecular formula of this compound? (c) What is the standard enthalpy of formation of this compound? (d) Two compounds that have this molecular formula appear in Appendix G. Which one was used in this exercise?arrow_forwardWhen one mol of KOH is neutralized by sulfuric acid, q=56 kJ. (This is called the heat of neutralization.) At 23.7C, 25.0 mL of 0.475 M H2SO4 is neutralized by 0.613 M KOH in a coffee-cup calorimeter. Assume that the specific heat of all solutions is 4.18J/gC, that the density of all solutions is 1.00 g/mL, and that volumes are additive. (a) How many mL of KOH is required to neutralize H2SO4? (b) What is the final temperature of the solution?arrow_forwardIf you want to convert 56.0 g ice (at 0 °C) to water at 75.0 °C, calculate how many grams of propane, C3H8, you would have to bum to supply the energy to melt the ice and then warm it to the final temperature (at 1 bar).arrow_forward
