- 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_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_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
- The 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_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_forward
- Classify each process as exothermic or endothermic. (a) ice melts (b) gasoline burns (c) steam condenses (d) reactants products, H = 50 kJarrow_forwardPropane, C3H8, is a common fuel gas. Use the following to calculate the grams of propane you would need to provide 369 kJ of heat.

- An 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_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_forwardSulfur dioxide gas reacts with oxygen, O2(g), to produce SO3(g). This reaction releases 99.0 kJ of heat (at constant pressure) for each mole of sulfur dioxide that reacts. Write the thermochemical equation for the reaction of 2 mol of sulfur dioxide, and then also for the decomposition of 3 mol of sulfur trioxide gas into oxygen gas and sulfur dioxide gas.
