8.) Incomplete combustion of hydrocarbons leads to the generation of carbon monoxide rather than carbon dioxide. As a result, improperly vented furnaces can poison people who live in an affected building because of the toxicity of CO. Calculate the heat of reaction for the incomplete combustion of methane, CH4(g), to yield liquid water and CO(g).

A gaseous fuel mixture contains 23.2% methane (CH4), 40.8% ethane (C2H6) and the rest propane (C3H8) by volume. When the fuel mixture contained in a 1.55 L tank, stored at 756 mmHg and 298 K undergoes complete combustion, how much heat is emitted? (Assume that the water produced by the combustion is in the gaseous state.) Express your answer with the appropriate units. The answer is not: -103.5 103.5 -103.096-103.1 -103.49 -131.56 131.56 103.5 -103.5 102.2
Two baking sheets are made of different metals. You purchase both and bake a dozen cookies on each sheet at the same time in your oven. You observe that after 9 minutes, the cookies on one sheet are slightly burned on the bottom, whereas those on the other sheet are fine. (You are curious and you vary the conditions so you know the result is not caused by the oven.) (a) How can you use this observation to infer something about the specific heat of the materials in the baking sheets? (b) What is the mathematical reasoning (equation) that you need to support your conclusion?
22.68g of an unknown sample, with a molar mass of 53.90g/mol, reacts with excess reagents inside a simple calorimeter. The outside of the calorimeter is made of an aluminum cup with a mass of 81.0g. There is 136g of water inside the calorimeter. The temperature of the entire calorimeter increases from 20.0°C to 22.9°C. What is the molar enthalpy of reaction, in kJ/mol, with respect to the unknown?

a) Define standard enthalpy of combustion. b) Propane, C3H8, is a hydrocarbon gas that is commonly used as a fuel for cooking. The standard enthalpy of combustion is -220.1 kJmol. Write a balanced equation for the complete combustion of propane gas. Assuming all of the heat evolved in burning 10.0 g of propane is transferred to 8.0 kg of water, calculate the increase in temperature of the water.
THERMODYNAMICS: A 1.79 g sample of acetic acid (HC2H3O2) was burned in excess oxygen in a bomb calorimeter. The calorimeter, which alone had a heat capacity of 2.67 kJ/oC, contained 7 g of water. The temperature of the calorimeter and its contents increased from 23.23oC to 27.95oC. What is ΔH (in kJ) for the combustion per 1.00 mol of acetic acid? MW of acetic acid is 60 g/mol.
A bomb calorimeter, or constant volume calorimeter, is a device often used to determine the heat of combustion of fuels and the energy available from foods. Since the "bomb" itself can absorb energy, a separate experiment is needed to determine the heat capacity of the calorimeter. This is known as calibrating the calorimeter. In the laboratory a student burns a 0.983-g sample of glutaric acid (C;HgO4) in a bomb calorimeter containing 1170. g water. The temperature increases from 24.10 °C to 26.90 °C. The specific heat capacity of water is 4.184 J g-1 °C-!. The combustion enthalpy is -2151 kJ/mol glutaric acid. C5H3O4(s) + 5 02(g) 5 CO2(g) + 4 H2O(1) A,H° = -2151 kJ/mol Calculate the heat capacity of the calorimeter. heat capacity of calorimeter = J/°C
