suppose that only two 45-g ice cubes had been added to your glass containg 5.00 x 10^2 mL of tea. The tea was intially 20.0 C. When thermal equilibrium is reached, all of the ice will have melted, and the temperature of the mixture will be somewhere between 20.0 C and 0 C. Calculate the final temperature of the beverage. Assume the specific heat capacity of tea is the same as that of pure water.
You can find the amount of heat evolved in the combustion of carbon by carrying out the reaction in a combustion calorimeter. You burn 0.300 g of carbon (graphite) in an excess of O2(g) to give CO2(g). C (graphite) + O2(g) → CO2(g) The temperature of the calorimeter, which contains 775 g of water, increases from 25.0˚C to 27.38˚C. What quantity of heat is evolved per mole of carbon?
The heat of combustion (∆H) for propane (molar mass 44.11 g/mol) is -2222 kJ/mol. The heat generated from burning 3.420 g of propane is used to heat 575.0 g of water in a calorimeter. What is the change in temperature (°C) of the water? (The molar heat capacity of water is 75.38 J/mol･°C).
