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

Simple Calorimetry. A piece of solid aluminum at 15.0°C is immersed in 12.3 g of nitrogen gas which is initially at 51.1°C and the system is allowed to equilibrate. Given that the specific heat of solid aluminum is 0.908 J/K/g and the specific heat of nitrogen gas is 1.0 J/K/g, what is the mass of the piece of solid aluminum if the final temperature is 34.7°C?
Gram for gram, fats in food have much more chemical energy than sugar. One component of fat is stearic acid, C18H36O2. When a sample of 1.02 g of stearicd acid was burned completely in a bomb calorimeter, the temperature of the calorimeter rose by 4.26 oC. The heat capacity of the calorimeter was 9.43 kJ/oC. Calculate the molar heat of combustion of stearic acid in kilojoules per mole. answer: (-11189 kJ/mol)
One day while camping, a student used a propane stove to boil some water. The student heated 5.00 L of water from 15.6°C to 98.5°C. The molar enthalpy of combustion of propane is -2043.9 kJ/mol and heating the water required 1.38 mol of propane. Determine the efficiency of the propane camp stove if the heat released from the stove was used to heat the water. 62.4 % 38.4% D162 % 61.6%

One method of generating electricity is by burning coal to heat water, which produces steam that drives an electric generator. To determine the rate at which coal is to be fed into the burner in this type of plant, the heat of combustion per ton of coal must be determined using a bomb calorimeter. When 1.00 g of coal is burned in a bomb calorimeter (as shown), the temperature increases by 1.48 °C. If the heat capacity of the calorimeter is 21.6 kJ/°C, determine the heat produced by combustion of a ton of coal (2.000 × 103 pounds).
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 0.461-g sample of 2-naphthylacetic acid (C12H1002) in a bomb calorimeter containing 1150. g water. The temperature increases from 24.70 °C to 27.20 °C. The specific heat capacity of water is 4.184 J g1 oC-1. The combustion enthalpy is -5779 kJ/mol 2-naphthylacetic acid.

A student is attempting to determine the heat capacity of a Styrofoam cup calorimeter by pouring hot water into a Styrofoam cup containing cold water. The student determined the mass of the cold water to be 21.2455 g and its initial temperature to be 20.36 °C. The mass of the hot water was 24.2646 g and its initial temperature as 34.54 °C. The final temperature of the water after mixing was determined to be 24.57°C. The specific heat capacity of the water is 4.184 J/(g•°C). What is the heat capacity of the Styrofoam cup calorimeter? Assume the temperature of the calorimeter is the same temperature as the cold water. 4.184 J/°C 132.5 J/°C
On a 14 day wilderness expedition you'll need to heat 3.0 kg of water to the boiling point each day. The air temperature will average 25 °C. You have available canisters of compressed propane (C₂Hg) fuel, which you'll burn to heat the water. Each canister has 50. g of propane in it. What is the minimum number of fuel canisters you must bring? The standard heat of formation of propane at 25 °C is -103.8 kJ/mol. You'll probably find other helpful data in the ALEKS Data resource. canisters: 0 X Ś
Many barbeque grills use propane gas, C3H8(g) as a fuel source. Using standard enthalpies of formation, calculate the quantity of heat produced, in kJ, when 25 liters of liquid propane is completely combusted in air. (The density of liquid propane is 582 kg/m3.) Note: The propane is in the condensed liquid state in the tank but changes to the gas phase as it is released. Calculate the change in enthalpy for the reaction assuming all reactants and products are in the gas phase.
