During his honeymoon in Switzerland, James Joule is said to have used a thermometer to measure the tempera- ture difference between the water at the top and at the bottom of a waterfall. Take the height of the waterfall to be Ah and the acceleration of gravity, g, to be 9.81 m s-2. Assuming that all the potential energy change mg Ah of a mass m of water is used to heat that water by the time it reaches the bottom, calculate the temperature differ- ence between the top and the bottom of a waterfall 100 meters high. Take the specific heat capacity of water to be 4.18 J K¯g.

In the laboratory a "coffee cup" calorimeter, or constant pressure calorimeter, is frequently used to determine the specific heat of a solid, or to measure the energy of a solution phase reaction.A chunk of lead weighing 19.61 grams and originally at 97.01 °C is dropped into an insulated cup containing 82.14 grams of water at 21.79 °C.The heat capacity of the calorimeter (sometimes referred to as the calorimeter constant) was determined in a separate experiment to be 1.61 J/°C.Using the accepted value for the specific heat of lead (See the References tool), calculate the final temperature of the water. Assume that no heat is lost to the surroundings.
An ideal gas sealed in a rigid 3.13-L cylinder, initially at pressure Pi=12.70 atm, is cooled until the pressure in the cylinder is Pf=1.18 atm. What is the enthalpy change for this process?What is the change in internal energy for this process?
Can you help me with this?
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 0.508-g sample of benzil (C14H1002) in a bomb calorimeter containing 1060. g water. The temperature increases from 24.70 °C to 27.80 °C. The specific heat capacity of water is 4.184 J gl°C1. The combustion enthalpy is -6784 k]/mol benzil. C14H1002(s) + 31/2 02(g) →14 CO2(g) + 5 H20(I) A,H° = -6784 kJ/mol %3D Calculate the heat capacity of the calorimeter. heat capacity of calorimeter = J/C
In this experiment you will place a sample of your salt in water in a constant pressure calorimeter with a heat capacity of 29.4 J/℃. You will determine the enthalpy change for the dissociation of your salt, delta Hdiss or rxn. A sample of 4.368 grams of the salt SrCl2 was placed in 35.5 g water, the initial temperature was 20.00℃ and the final temperature was 27.086365℃.
