- Hydrogen is an ideal fuel in many respects; for example, the product of its combustion, water, is nonpolluting. The heat given off in burning hydrogen to gaseous water is 5.16 104 Btu per pound. What is this heat energy in joules per gram? (1 Btu = 252 cal; see also Table 1.4.)arrow_forwardNitrogen oxide (NO) has been found to be a key component in many biological processes. It also can react with oxygen to give the brown gas NO2. When one mole of NO reacts with oxygen, 57.0 kJ of heat are evolved. (a) Write the thermochemical equation for the reaction between one mole of nitrogen oxide and oxygen. (b) Is the reaction exothermic or endothermic? (c) Draw an energy diagram showing the path of this reaction. (Figure 8.6 is an example of such an energy diagram.) (d) What is H when 5.00 g of nitrogen oxide react? (e) How many grams of nitrogen oxide must react with an excess of oxygen to liberate ten kilojoules of heat?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
- 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_forwardClassify each process as exothermic or endothermic. (a) ice melts (b) gasoline burns (c) steam condenses (d) reactants products, H = 50 kJarrow_forwardSwimming 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_forward
- A 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_forwardAgriculture Water is sprayed on oranges during afrosty night. If an average of 11.8 g of water freezes oneach orange, how much heat is released?arrow_forwardThermal Interactions Part 1: In an insulated container, you mix 200. g of water at 80C with 100. g of water at 20C. After mixing, the temperature of the water is 60C. a How much did the temperature of the hot water change? How much did the temperature of the cold water change? Compare the magnitudes (positive values) of these changes. b During the mixing, how did the heat transfer occur: from hot water to cold, or from cold water to hot? c What quantity of heat was transferred from one sample to the other? d How does the quantity of heat transferred to or from the hot-water sample compare with the quantity of heat transferred to or from the cold-water sample? e Knowing these relative quantities of heat, why is the temperature change of the cold water greater than the magnitude of the temperature change of the hot water. f A sample of hot water is mixed with a sample of cold water that has twice its mass. Predict the temperature change of each of the samples. g You mix two samples of water, and one increases by 20C, while the other drops by 60C. Which of the samples has less mass? How do the masses of the two water samples compare? h A 7-g sample of hot water is mixed with a 3-g sample of cold water. How do the temperature changes of the two water samples compare? Part 2: A sample of water is heated from 10C to 50C. Can you calculate the amount of heat added to the water sample that caused this temperature change? If not, what information do you need to perform this calculation? Part 3: Two samples of water are heated from 20C to 60C. One of the samples requires twice as much heat to bring about this temperature change as the other. How do the masses of the two water samples compare? Explain your reasoning.arrow_forward
- An 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_forwardHomes may be heated by pumping hot water through radiators. What mass of water will provide the same amount of heat when cooled from 95.0 to 35.0 C, as the heat provided when 100 g of steam is cooled from 110 C to 100 C.arrow_forwardA 45-g aluminum spoon (specific heat 0.88 J/g C) at 24 C is placed in 180 mL (180 g) of coffee at 85 C and the temperature of the two become equal. (a) What is the final temperature when the two become equal? Assume that coffee has the same specific heat as water. (b) The first time a student solved this problem she got an answer of 88 C. Explain why this is clearly an incorrect answer.arrow_forward
