The flame in a torch used to cut metal is produced by burning acetylene (C2H2)(26.04 g/mol) in pure oxygen. Assuming the combustion of 1 mole of acetylene releases 1251 kJ of heat, what mass of acetylene is needed to cut through a piece of steel if the process requires 22.5 × 104 kJ of heat? 2 C2H2(g) + 5 O2(g) → 4 CO2(g) + 2 H2O(g) ΔH = –2502 kJ
Hot water heaters often use natural gas (methane) to generate heat. Methane and oxygen react to form carbon monoxide according to the overall equation: 2CH4(g)+3O2(g) = 2CO(g)+4H2O(g) The enthalpy of formation for each compound are as follows: CH4: - 74.6 O2: 0 CO: - 110.5 H2O: - 285.8 Part A: calculate the overall enthalpy change of the reaction. Part B: A typical water heater contains 40.0 gallons of water. After a long vacation, you come home and turn your water heater from "vacation mode" to hot. How many moles of methane must be combusted to heat the water in your water heater from 30.0°C to 48.0°C? The density of water is 3.79 kg/gal, the specific heat capacity of water is 4.182 J/g°C, and the water heater has a heat capacity of 850.0 J/g°C.
A student conducted several calorimetry investigations. In the first of the investigations, the student heats a 21.0 g price of metal that is know to have a specific heat capacity of 0.449 J/g°C to a temperature of 80°C. Then a piece of metal is added to the beaker of water (70.0 grams at 20.00°C). The specific heat capacity of water is 4.187 J/g°C. If the student repeated the investigation with 50.0 g of water instead what would be different.
