Determine whether the statements given below are true or false. Consider an endothermic process taking place in a beaker at room temperature. (a) Heat flows from the surroundings to the system. (b) The beaker is cold to the touch. (c) The pressure of the system decreases. (d) The value of q for the system is positive.
The temperature of the cooling water as it leaves the hot engine of an automobile is 240 F. After it passes through the radiator it has a temperature of 175 F. Calculate the amount of heat transferred from the engine to the surroundings by one gallon of water with a specific heat of 4.184 J/g oC.
Define heat. What are its units? How does it differ from energy?
9.97 Suppose that the working fluid inside an industrial refrigerator absorbs 680 J of energy for every gram of material that vaporizes in the evaporator. The refrigerator unit uses this energy flow as part of a cyclic system to keep foods cold. A new pallet of fruit with a mass of 500 kg is placed in the refrigerator. Assume that the specific heat of the fruit is the same as that of pure water because the fruit is mostly water. Describe how you would determine the mass of the working fluid that would have to be evaporated to lower the temperature of the fruit by 15C. List any information you would have to measure or look up.
In 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.
In the process of isolating iron from its ores, carbon monoxide reacts with iron(III) oxide, as described by the following equation: Fe2O3(s)+3CO(g)2Fe(s)+3CO2(g)H=24.8kJ The enthalpy change for the combustion of carbon monoxide is 2CO(g)+O2(g)2CO2(g)H=566kJ Use this information to calculate the enthalpy change for the equation 4Fe(s)+3O2(g)2Fe2O3(s)H=?
Explain the difference between heat capacity and specific heat of a substance.
The second law of thermodynamics is sometimes paraphrased as: you can't break even. Explain. Because energy cannot be created out of nothing. Because some energy is lost in all energy transactions. Because some energy is gained in all energy transactons.
In a bomb calorimeter, the reaction vessel is surrounded by water that must be added for each experiment. Since the amount of water is not constant from experiment to experiment, the mass of water must be measured in each case. The heat capacity of the calorimeter is broken down into two parts: the water and the calorimeter components. If a calorimeter contains 1.00 kg water and has a total heat capacity of 10.84 kJ/C, what is the heat capacity of the calorimeter components?
The 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.)
Sulfur 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. Do you need any other information to answer either question?
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.)
