Explain why the specific heat of the contents of the calorimeter must be known in a calorimetry experiment.
Equal masses of liquid A, initially at 100C, and liquid B, initially at 50C, are combined in an insulated container. The final temperature of the mixture is 80C. All the heat flow occurs between the two liquids. The two liquids do not react with each other. Is the specific heat of liquid A larger than, equal to, or smaller than the specific heat of liquid B?
Consider the combustion of propane: C3H8(g)+5O2(g)3CO2(g)+4H2O(l)H=2221KJ Assume that all the heat in Example 7-3 comes from the combustion of propane. What mass of propane must be burned to furnish this amount of energy assuming the heat transfer process is 60.% efficient?
Ethyl alcohol, C2H5OH, is the intoxicating agent in liquor. Burning 1.00 g of ethyl alcohol in an excess of oxygen at 23.28C and constant volume releases 29.52 kJ of heat.
