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

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!
7. Aspirin is produced commercially
from salicylic acid, C7O3H6. A large shipment of salicylic acid is
contaminated with boric oxide, which like salicylic acid is a white
powder. The heat of combustion of
salicylic acid at constant volume is known to be –3.00 x 103
kJ/mol. Boric oxide, because it is fully
oxidized, does not burn. When a 3.556 g
sample of contaminated salicylic acid is burned in a bomb calorimeter, the
temperature increases 2.556oC.
From previous measurements, the heat capacity of the calorimeter is
known to be 13.62 kJ/K. What is the
amount of boric oxide in the sample, in terms of mass percent?
