- In a calorimetric experiment, 6.48 g of lithium hydroxide, LiOH, was dissolved in water. The temperature of the calorimeter rose from 25.00C to 36.66C. What is H for the solution process? LiOH(s)Li(aq)+OH(aq) The heat capacity of the calorimeter and its contents is 547 J/C.arrow_forwardA 50-mL solution of a dilute AgNO3 solution is added to 100 mL of a base solution in a coffee-cup calorimeter. As Ag2O(s) precipitates, the temperature of the solution increases from 23.78 C to 25.19 C. Assuming that the mixture has the same specific heat as water and a mass of 150 g, calculate the heat q. Is the precipitation reaction exothermic or endothermic?arrow_forwardHow much heat is absorbed by a 44.7-g piece of leadwhen its temperature increases by 65.4°C?arrow_forward
- What mass of acetylene, C2H2(g), must be burned to produce 3420 kJ of heat, given that its enthalpy of combustion is 1301 kJ/mol? Compare this with the answer to Exercise 5.91 and determine which substance produces more heat per gram.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_forwardThe temperature of the cooling water as it leaves the hot engine of an automobile is 240 F. After it passes through the radiator it has a temperature of 175 F. Calculate the amount of heat transferred from the engine to the surroundings by one gallon of water with a specific heat of 4.184 J/g oC.arrow_forward
- When lightning strikes, the energy can force atmospheric nitrogen and oxygen to react to make NO: N2(g)+O2(g)2NO(g)H=+181.8kJ (a) Is this reaction endothermic or exothermic? (b) What quantities of reactants and products are assumed if H = +181.8 kJ? (c) What is the enthalpy change when 3.50 g nitrogen is reacted with excess O2(g)?arrow_forwardA 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_forwardThe combustion of 1.00 mol liquid methyl alcohol (CH3OH) in excess oxygen is exothermic, giving 727 kJ of heat. (a) Write the thermochemical equation for this reaction. (b) Calculate the enthalpy change that accompanies the burning 10.0 g methanol. (c) Compare this with the amount of heat produced by 10.0 g octane, C8H18, a component of gasoline (see Exercise 5.41).arrow_forward
- Natural gas companies in the United States use the therm as a unit of energy. One therm is 1105 BTU. (a) How many joules are in one therm? (1J=9.48104BTU) (b) When propane gas, C3H8, is burned in oxygen, CO2 and steam are produced. How many therms of energy are given off by 1.00 mol of propane gas?arrow_forwardThe thermochemical equation for the burning of methane, the main component of natural gas, is CH4(g)+2O2(g)CO2(g)+2H2O(l)H=890kJ (a) Is this reaction endothermic or exothermic? (b) What quantities of reactants and products are assumed if H = 890 kJ? (c) What is the enthalpy change when 1.00 g methane burns in an excess of oxygen?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_forward
