Conversion of Energy Units
The complete combustion of a small wooden match produces approximately 512 cal of heat. How many kilojoules (kJ) are produced?

Interpretation:
The heat (in kilojoules) that is produced during the complete combustion of a small wooden match is to be determined.
Concept introduction:
Unit conversion is defined as the process in which multiple steps are used to convert the unit of measurement of the same given quantity.
Answer to Problem 9.1YT
Solution:
Explanation of Solution
Given information: The complete combustion of a small wooden match produces approximately
As it is known, one calorie is equal to
Conversion factor cal to joul is as:
The amount of heat produced by combusting a small wooden match is
As it is known, 1 kilojoule is 1000 joules, hence conversion factor is as:
For converting heat into kilojoules, it is divided by
During the complete combustion of a small wooden match,

Imagine separating this process into the four stages sketched below. (These sketches show only a portion of the substances, so you can see the density and distribution of atoms and molecules in them.) CH,CN H₂O B 88 C Use these sketches to answer the questions in the table below. The enthalpy of solution AH is negative soln when CH3CN dissolves in water. Use this information to list the stages in order of increasing enthalpy. Would heat be absorbed or released if the system moved from Stage C to D? What force would oppose or favor the system moving from Stage C to D? Check all that apply. 1 absorbed O released neither absorbed nor released. none O ionic bonding force covalent bonding force…arrow_forwardIn a system with an anodic overpotential, the variation of ŋ as a function of the current density: 1. at low fields is linear 2. at higher fields, it follows Tafel's law Find the range of current densities for which the overpotential has the same value as when calculated for cases 1 and 2 (maximum relative difference of 5% with respect to the behavior for higher fields).
