The following reaction occurs in pure water: H2O(l)+H2O(l)H3O+(aq)+OH-(aq) which is often abbreviated as H2O(l)H+(aq)+OH-(aq) For this reaction, G = 79.9 kJ/mol at 25C. Calculate the value of G for this reaction at 25C when [OH] = 0.15 M and [H+] = 0.71 M.
When 7.11 g NH4NO3 is added to 100 mL water, the temperature of the calorimeter contents decreases from 22.1 C to 17.1 C. Assuming that the mixture has the same specific heat as water and a mass of 107 g, calculate the heat q. Is the dissolution of ammonium nitrate exothermic or endothermic?
12.67 Hydrofluoric acid is a weak acid used in the building industry to etch patterns into glass for elegant windows. Because it dissolves glass, it is the only inorganic acid that must be stored in plastic containers. A 0.1 M solution of HF has a pH of 2.1. Calculate [Hj0"| in this solution.
Would the amount of heat absorbed by the dissolution in Example 5.6 appear greater, lesser, or remain the same if the experimenter used a calorimeter that was a poorer insulator than a coffee cup calorimeter? Explain your answer.

Consider the Haber process: N2(g)+3H2(g)2NH3(g);H=91.8kJ The density of ammonia at 25C and 1.00 atm is 0.696 g/L. The density of nitrogen, N2, is 1.145 g/L, and the molar heat capacity is 29.12 J/(mol C). (a) How much heat is evolved in the production of 1.00 L of ammonia at 25C and 1.00 atm? (b) What percentage of this heat is required to heat the nitrogen required for this reaction (0.500 L) from 25C to 400C, the temperature at which the Haber process is run?
What characterizes an electrolytic cell? What is an ampere? When the current applied to an electrolytic cell is multiplied by the time in seconds, what quantity is determined? How is this quantity converted to moles of electrons required? How are moles of electrons required converted to moles of metal plated out? What does plating mean? How do you predict the cathode and the anode half-reactions in an electrolytic cell? Why is the electrolysis of molten salts much easier to predict in terms of what occurs at the anode and cathode than the electrolysis of aqueous dissolved salts? What is overvoltage?
n Fig. 10.1, what kind of energy does ball A possess initially when at rest at the top of the hill? What kind of energies are involved as ball A moves down the hill? What kind of energy does ball A possess when it reaches the bottom of the hill and stops moving after hitting ball B? Where did the energy gained by ball B, allowing it to move up the hill, come from?
When one mol of KOH is neutralized by sulfuric acid, q=56 kJ. (This is called the heat of neutralization.) At 23.7C, 25.0 mL of 0.475 M H2SO4 is neutralized by 0.613 M KOH in a coffee-cup calorimeter.
