- How much heat is required to raise the temperature of 100. grams of water from 25C near room temperature to 100.C its boiling point? The specific heat of water is approximately 4.2Jperg-K. a.3.2104J b.32J c.4.2104J d.76Jarrow_forwardClassify each process as exothermic or endothermic. (a) ice melts (b) gasoline burns (c) steam condenses (d) reactants products, H = 50 kJarrow_forwardNatural 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_forward
- 9.89 A sample of gas is 80.0% CH4 and 20.0% C2H6 by mass. What is the heat from the combustion of 1.00 g of this mixture? Assume the products are CO2 (g) and H2O (l).arrow_forwardHypothetical elements A2 and B2 react according to the following equation, forming the compound AB. A2(aq)+B2(aq)2AB(aq);H=+271kJ/mol If solutions A2(aq) and B2(aq), starting at the same temperature, are mixed in a coffee-cup calorimeter, the reaction that occurs is a exothermic, and the temperature of the resulting solution rises. b endothermic, and the temperature of the resulting solution rises. c endothermic, and the temperature of the resulting solution falls. d exothermic, and the temperature of the resulting solution falls. e exothermic or endothermic, depending on the original and final temperatures.arrow_forwardIn 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_forward
- How 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_forwardConversion of Energy Units The complete combustion of a small wooden match produces approximately 512 cal of heat. How many kilojoules (kJ) are produced?arrow_forwardAn iron skillet weighing 1.63 kg is heated on a stove to 178C. Suppose the skillet is cooled to room temperature, 21C. How much heat energy (in joules) must be removed to affect this cooling? The specific heat of iron is 0.449 J/(gC).arrow_forward
- A 110.-g sample of copper (specific heat capacity = 0.20 J/C g) is heated to 82.4C and then placed in a container of water at 22.3C. The final temperature of the water and copper is 24.9C. What is the mass of the water in the container, assuming that all the heat lost by the copper is gained by the water?arrow_forwardA piece of iron was heated to 95.4C and dropped into a constant-pressure calorimeter containing 284 g of water at 32.2C. The final temperature of the water and iron was 51.9C. Assuming that the calorimeter itself absorbs a negligible amount of heat, what was the mass (in grams) of the piece of iron? The specific heat of iron is 0.449 J/(gC), and the specific heat of water is 4.18 J/(gC).arrow_forwardThe BTU (British thermal unit) is the unit of energy most commonly used in the United States. One joule=9.48104 BTU. What is the specific heat of water in BTU/lbF? (Specific heat of water is 4.18 J/g C.)arrow_forward
