How much will the temperature of a cup (180 g) of coffee at 95 C be reduced when a 45 g silver spoon (specific heat 0.24 J/g C) at 25 C is placed in the coffee and the two are allowed to reach the same temperature? Assume that the coffee has the same density and specific heat as water.
A student is asked to calculate the amount of heat involved in changing 10.0 g of liquid bromine at room temperature (22.5C) to vapor at 59.0C.To do this, one must use Tables 8.1 and 8.2 for information on the specific heat, boiling point, and heat of vaporization of bromine. In addition, the following step-wise process must be followed. (a) Calculate H for: Br2(l,22.5C)Br2(l,59.0C) (b) Calculate H for: Br2(l,59.0C)Br2(g,59.0C) (c) Using Hess's law, calculate H for: Br2(l,22.5C)Br2(g,59.0C)
The addition of 3.15 g of Ba(OH)28H2O to a solution of 1.52 g of NH4SCN in loo g of water in a calorimeter caused the temperature to fall by 3.1 C. Assuming the specific heat of the solution and products is 4.20 J/g C, calculate the approximate amount of heat absorbed by the reaction, which can be represented by the following equation: Ba(OH)28H2O(s)+2NH4SCN(aq)Ba(SCN)2(aq)+2NH3(aq)+10H2O(l)

9.100 Two baking sheets are made of different metals. You purchase both and bake a dozen cookies on each sheet at the same time in your oven. You observe that after 9 minutes, the cookies on one sheet are slightly burned on the bottom, whereas those on the other sheet are fine. (You are curious and you vary the conditions so you know the result is not caused by the oven.) (a) How can you use this observation to infer something about the specific heat of the materials in the baking sheets? (b) What is themathematical reasoning (equation) that you need to support your conclusion?
The thermite reaction was once used to weld rails: 2Al(s)+Fe2O3(s)Al2O3(s)+2Fe(s)(a) Using heat of formation data, calculate H for this reaction. (b) Take the specific heats of Al2O3 and Fe to be 0.77 and 0.45 J/g C, respectively. Calculate the temperature to which the products of this reaction will be raised, starting at room temperature, by the heat given off in the reaction. (c) Will the reaction produce molten iron (mpFe=1535C,Hfus=270J/g)?
