A particular container holds 3.77 mol of neon gas. The volume of this container can be altered by sliding a piston in or out. The volume is changed from 8.60 L to 12.20 L while at the same time the temperature is changed from 303 K to 345 K. The molar heat capacity, Cym, for neon is 12.47 J/(mol · K). Assume that this value will not change over the given temperature range. What is the change in entropy for the gas? AS = J/K TOOLS x10 MacBook Pro
The heat capacity of an object indicates how much energy that object can absorb for a given increase in that object's temperature. In a system in which two objects of different temperatures come into contact with one another, the warmer object will cool and the cooler object will warm up until the system is at a single equilibrium temperature. Note the difference between the terms molar heat capacity, which has units of J/(mol-K). and specific heat, which has units of J/(g-K). Remember to use 3 significant figures for all answers unless stated otherwise in the problem. Common issues with this problem involve entering units incorrectly into the answer field.

The molar heat of solution of a substance is found to be +21.38 kJ/mol. The addition of 0.100 mol of this substance to 1.000L of water initially at 40.0 degrees celsius results in a temperature decrease. Assume the specific heat of the resulting solution to be equal to that of pure water. Find the final temperature of the solution (Also assume that the heat capacity of the calorimeter is negligible).
A student is attempting to determine the heat capacity of a Styrofoam cup calorimeter by pouring hot water into a Styrofoam cup containing cold water. The student determined the mass of the cold water to be 21.2455 g and its initial temperature to be 20.36 °C. The mass of the hot water was 24.2646 g and its initial temperature as 34.54 °C. The final temperature of the water after mixing was determined to be 24.57°C. The specific heat capacity of the water is 4.184 J/(g•°C). What is the heat capacity of the Styrofoam cup calorimeter?
