- Benzoic acid, C6H5COOH, is a common standard used in bomb calorimeters, which maintain a constant volume. If 1.20 g of benzoic acid gives off 31, 723 J of energy when burned in the presence of excess oxygen and in a water bath having a temperature of 24.6 C, calculate q, w, H, and U for the reaction.arrow_forwardIn the 1880s, Frederick Trouton noted that the enthalpy of vaporization of 1 mol pure liquid is approximately 88 times the boiling point, Tb, of the liquid on the Kelvin scale. This relationship is called Troutons rule and is represented by the thermochemical equation liquid gas H = 88 Tb, joules Combined with an empirical formula from chemical analysis, Troutons rule can be used to find the molecular formula of a compound, as illustrated here. A compound that contains only carbon and hydrogen is 85.6% C and 14.4% H. Its enthalpy of vaporization is 389 J/g, and it boils at a temperature of 322 K. (a) What is the empirical formula of this compound? (b) Use Troutons rule to calculate the approximate enthalpy or vaporization or one mole of the compound. Combine the enthalpy of vaporization per mole with that same quantity per gram to obtain an approximate molar mass of the compound. (c) Use the results of parts (a) and (b) to find the molecular formula of this compound. Remember that the molecular mass must be exactly a whole-number multiple of the empirical formula mass, so considerable rounding may be needed.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_forward

- In 2010, 3.30109 gallons of gasoline were consumed in the United States. The following assumptions can be made: • Gasoline is mainly n-octane, C8H18(d=0.7028g/mL). • Burning one mole of n-octane in oxygen releases 5564.2 kJ of heat. • The heat capacity C of the surface region of the earth is 2.61023 J/K. What is the increase in temperature of the surface region of the earth due to gasoline consumption in the United States?arrow_forwardThe enthalpy of vaporization for water is 40.65 kJ mol-1. As a design engineer for a project in a desert climate, you are exploring the option of using evaporative cooling. (a) If the air has an average volumetric heat capacity of 0.00130 J cm-3 K-1, what is the minimum mass of water that would need to evaporate in order to cool a 5 m? 5 m room with a 3 m ceiling by 5°F using this method? (b) Is this a spontaneous or nonspontaneous process?arrow_forwardA 21.3-mL sample of 0.977 M NaOH is mixed with 29.5 mL of 0.918 M HCl in a coffee-cup calorimeter (see Section 6.6 of your text for a description of a coffee-cup calorimeter). The enthalpy of the reaction, written with the lowest whole-number coefficients, is 55.8 kJ. Both solutions are at 19.6C prior to mixing and reacting. What is the final temperature of the reaction mixture? When solving this problem, assume that no heat is lost from the calorimeter to the surroundings, the density of all solutions is 1.00 g/mL, the specific heat of all solutions is the same as that of water, and volumes are additive.arrow_forward

How many burning peanuts does it take to provide the energy to boil a cup of water (250 mL of water)? To solve this problem, we assume each peanut, with an average mass of 0.73 g, is 49% peanut oil and 21% starch; the remainder is noncombustible We further assume peanut oil is palmitic acid, C16H32O2, with an enthalpy of formation of 848.4 kJ/mol. Starch is a long chain of C6H10O5 units, each unit having an enthalpy of formation of 960 kJ.arrow_forward
