Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The final temperature of the system containing a sheet of gold and a sheet of iron metal is to be calculated, assuming no heat is lost to the surroundings.
Concept Introduction:
Heat absorbed or released by a system is calculated by multiplying the mass of the substance with its specific heat and the change in temperature of the system.
Sign of heat change is positive, if heat is absorbed by the system, and negative, if heat is released by the system.
The heat absorbed by the substance in the given system is calculated by the expression:

- Enthalpy a A 100.-g sample of water is placed in an insulated container and allowed to come to room temperature at 21C. To heat the water sample to 41C, how much heat must you add to it? b Consider the hypothetical reaction,2X(aq)+Y(l)X2Y(aq)being run in an insulated container that contains 100. g of solution. If the temperature of the solution changes from 21C to 31C, how much heat does the chemical reaction produce? How does this answer compare with that in part a? (You can assume that this solution is so dilute that it has the same heat capacity as pure water.) c If you wanted the temperature of 100. g of this solution to increase from 21C to 51C, how much heat would you have to add to it? (Try to answer this question without using a formula.) d If you had added 0.02 mol of X and 0.01 mol of Y to form the solution in part b, how many moles of X and Y would you need to bring about the temperature change described in part c. e Judging on the basis of your answers so far, what is the enthalpy of the reaction 2X(aq) + Y(l) X2Y(aq)?arrow_forwardA rebreathing gas mask contains potassium superoxide, KO2, which reacts with moisture in the breath to give oxygen. 4KO2(s)+2H2O(l)4KOH(s)+3O2(g) Estimate the grams of potassium superoxide required to supply a persons oxygen needs for one hour. Assume a person requires 1.00 102 kcal of energy for this time period. Further assume that this energy can be equated to the heat of combustion of a quantity of glucose, C6H12O6, to CO2(g) and H2O(l). From the amount of glucose required to give 1.00 102 kcal of heat, calculate the amount of oxygen consumed and hence the amount of KO2 required. The ff0 for glucose(s) is 1273 kJ/mol.arrow_forwardConsider the following reaction in the vessel described in Question 57. A(g)+B(g)C(s)For this reaction, E=286 J, the piston moves up and the system absorbs 388 J of heat from its surroundings. (a) Is work done by the system? (b) How much work?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_forwardA _________ is a device used to determine the heat associated with a chemical reaction.arrow_forward9.97 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.arrow_forward
- Graphite is burned in oxygen to give carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide. If the product mixture is 33% CO and 67% CO2 by mass, what is the heat from the combustion of 1.00 g of graphite?arrow_forwardHydrogen 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?

- Water gas, a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen, is produced by treating carbon (in the form of coke or coal) with steam at high temperatures. (See Study Question 83.) C(s) + H2O(g) CO(g) + H2(g) Not all of the carbon available is converted to water gas since some is burned to provide the heat for the endothermic reaction of carbon and water. What mass of carbon must be burned (to CO2 gas) to provide the energy to convert 1.00 kg of carbon to water gas?arrow_forwardHow much heat is released when a mixture containing 10.0 g CS2 and 10.0 g Cl2 reacts by the following equation?
