- The initial temperature of a 344-g sample of iron is 18.2 C. If the sample absorbs 2.25 kJ of energy as heat, what is its final temperature?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_forwardHydrogen is burned in oxygen to release heat (see equation below). How many grams of hydrogen gas must be burned to release enough heat to warm a 50.0-g block of iron from 21C to 225C? 2H2(g)+O2(g)2H2O(g);H=484kJ Iron has a specific heat of 0.449 J/(gC).arrow_forward
- Swimming Pool A swimming pool measuring 20.0m12.5m is filled with water to a depth of 3.75m. If the initial temperature is 18.4°C, how much heatmust be added to the water to raise its temperature to29.0°C? Assume that the density of water is 1.000 g/mL.arrow_forwardThe Group 2A carbonates decompose when heated. For example, BaCO3(s)BaO(s)+CO2(g) Use enthalpies of formation (see Appendix C) and calculate the heat required to decompose 6.50 g of barium carbonate.arrow_forwardIf a reaction produces 1.506 kJ of heat, which is trapped in 30.0 g of water initially at 26.5 °C in a calorimeter like that in Figure 5.12, what is the resulting temperature of the water?arrow_forward
- An ice calorimeter can be used to determine the specific heat capacity of a metal. A piece of hot metal is dropped onto a weighed quantity of ice. The energy transferred from the metal to the ice can be determined from the amount of ice melted. Suppose you heated a 50.0-g piece of silver to 99.8 C and then dropped it onto ice. When the metals temperature had dropped to 0.0 C. it is found that 3.54 g of ice had melted. What is the specific heat capacity of silver?arrow_forwardThe Group 2A carbonates decompose when heated. For example, MgCO3(s)MgO(s)+CO2(g) Use enthalpies of formation (see Appendix C) and calculate the heat required to decompose 10.0 g of magnesium carbonate.arrow_forwardClassify each process as exothermic or endothermic. (a) ice melts (b) gasoline burns (c) steam condenses (d) reactants products, H = 50 kJarrow_forward
- Propane, C3H8, is a common fuel gas. Use the following to calculate the grams of propane you would need to provide 369 kJ of heat. C3H8(g)+5O2(g)3CO2(g)+4H2O(g);H=2043kJarrow_forward9.15 Carry out the following conversions of energy units: (a) 14.3 Btu Into calories, (b) 1.4105 cal into joules, (c) 31.6 mJ into Btuarrow_forwardAn aluminum kettle weighs 1.05 kg. (a) What is the heat capacity of the kettle? (b) How much heat is required to increase the temperature of this kettle from 23.0 C to 99.0 C? (c) How much heat is required to heat this kettle from 23.0 C to 99.0 C if it contains 1.25 L of water (density of 0.997 g/mL and a specific heat of 4.184 J/g C)?arrow_forward
