- The heat of neutralization, Hneut, can be defined as the amount of heat released (or absorbed), q, per mole of acid (or base) neutralized. Hneut for nitric acid is -52 kJ/mol HNO3. At 27.3C, 50.00 mL of 0.743M HNO3 is neutralized by 1.00 M Sr(OH)2 in a coffee-cup calorimeter. (a) How many mL of Sr(OH)2 were used in the neutralization? (b) What is the final temperature of the resulting solution? (Use the assumptions in Question 11.)arrow_forwardHow much heat, in joules and in calories, must be added to a 75.0g iron block with a specific heat of 0.449 Jig C to increase its temperature from 25 C to its melting temperature of 1535 C?arrow_forwardHow much would the temperature of 275 g of water increase if 36.5 U of heat were added?arrow_forward
- Acetic acid, HC2H3O2, is the sour constituent of vinegar (acetum is Latin for vinegar). In an experiment, 3.58 g of acetic acid was burned. HC2H3O2(l)+2O2(g)2CO2(g)+2H2O(l) If 52.0 kJ of heat evolved, what is H per mole of acetic acid?arrow_forwardChlorine dioxide, ClO2, is a reddish yellow gas used in bleaching paper pulp. The average speed of a ClO2 molecule at 25C is 306 m/s. What is the kinetic energy (in joules) of a ClO2 molecule moving at this speed?arrow_forwardA rebreathing gas mask contains potassium superoxide, KO2, which reacts with moisture in the breath to give oxygen. 4KO2(s)+2H2O(l)4KOH(s)+3O2(g) Estimate the grams of potassium superoxide required to supply a persons oxygen needs for one hour. Assume a person requires 1.00 102 kcal of energy for this time period. Further assume that this energy can be equated to the heat of combustion of a quantity of glucose, C6H12O6, to CO2(g) and H2O(l). From the amount of glucose required to give 1.00 102 kcal of heat, calculate the amount of oxygen consumed and hence the amount of KO2 required. The ff0 for glucose(s) is 1273 kJ/mol.arrow_forward
- A piece of lead of mass 121.6 g was heated by an electrical coil. From the resistance of the coil, the current, and the Time the current flowed, it was calculated that 235 J of heat was added to the lead. The temperature of the lead rose from 20.4C to 35.5C. What is the specific heat of the lead?arrow_forwardWhich molecule, HF, HCl, HBr, or HI, has the strongest chemical bond?arrow_forwardWhen solid iron burns in oxygen gas (at constant pressure) to produce Fe2O3(s), 1651 kJ of heat is released for every 4 mol of iron burned. How much heat is released when 10.3 g Fe2O3(s) is produced (at constant pressure)? What additional information would you need to calculate the heat released to produce this much Fe2O3(s) if you burned iron in ozone gas, O3(g), instead of O2(g)?arrow_forward
- How much heat, in joules and in calories, is required to heat a 28.4-g (1-oz) ice cube from 23.0 C to 1.0 C?arrow_forwardHydrogen sulfide, H2S, is produced during decomposition of organic matter. When 0.5000 mol H2S burns to produce SO2(g) and H2O(l), 281.0 kJ of heat is released. What is this heat in kilocalories?arrow_forwardThe enthalpy change when 1 mol methane (CH4) is burned is 890 kJ. It takes 44.0 kJ to vaporize 1 mol water. What mass of methane must be burned to provide the heat needed to vaporize 1.00 g water?arrow_forward
