1.      The specific heat of iron is 0.451 J/g·K.  When a 200.0 g iron slug is heated to 368oC and added to 60.0 g of water at 20.0oC, all of the heat lost by the iron is gained by the water.  If the heat of vaporization of water is 2260 J/g, how many grams of water will vaporize?

 

 

qlost iron           =      qgained water

=    qwater warming       +      qwater vaporizing

 

(200.0 g)(0.451J/g·K)(268K)  =  (60.0g)(4.184J/g·K)(80K)   +    (mass water vaporized)(2260J/g)

 

mass water vaporized = 1.80 g

 

 

2.      When gasoline burns in a car engine, the heat released causes the products CO2 and H2O to expand, which pushes the pistons outward.  Excess heat is removed by the car’s cooling system.  If the expanding gases do 451 J of work on the pistons and the system loses 325 J to the surroundings as heat, calculate the change in energy (DE) in kcal.

 

w = -451 J  (negative because energy leaves system)

q = -325 J  (negative because heat leaves system)

 

E = q + w = -451 J + -325 J = -776 J

DHorxn  =  8(DHfo,H2O,l)  +  7(DHfo,CO2,g)  -  (DHfo,C7H16,l)

 

-4816 kJ  =  8(-285.5 kJ)  +  7(-393.5 kJ)  -  (DHfo,C7H16,l)

 

-4816 kJ  =  -2284 kJ  +  -2754.5 kJ  -  (DHfo,C7H16,l)

 

DHfo,C7H16,l  =  -222.5 kJ

 

 


4.      Acetylene reacts with bromine according to the following equation:

1/2 O2(g)  +  H2(g)  ¾®  H2O(l)                            DHo = (-1)(571.6/2) kJ = -285.8 kJ

 

MgO(s)  +  H2O(l)  ¾®  Mg(OH)2(s)                   DHo = -36.7 kJ

6.      Ethanol is a major ingredient of a camping fuel called “Sterno”.  If the energy released in the combustion of 5.00 g of ethanol (C2H6O) is transferred without loss to 200.0 g of liquid water at 22.0oC, what will be the final state and temperature of the water?  (Combustion of one mole of ethanol yields 1235 kJ of energy)

 

1st  find out how much energy produced by Sterno

2nd find out how much energy required to heat all water up to 100oC.  If not enough energy then go back and determine final temperature.

 

Plenty of energy to heat all water to 100oC.  134 – 65.3 kJ = 69 kJ energy left to begin converting water at 100oC to steam. Next find out how much energy needed to convert all water to steam.

How much water can 69 kJ of energy evaporate?

So we get 30 g of steam at 100oC and 200.0 – 30 = 170 g water at 100oC!
