- The cooling effect of alcohol on the skin is due to its evaporation. Calculate the heat of vaporization of ethanol (ethyl alcohol), C2H5OH. C2H5OH(l)C2H5OH(g);H=? The standard enthalpy of formation of C2H5OH(l) is 277.7 kJ/mol and that of C2H5OH(g) is 235.1 kJ/mol.arrow_forwardThe enthalpy change when 1 mol methane (CH4) is burned is 890 kJ. It takes 44.0 kJ to vaporize 1 mol water. What mass of methane must be burned to provide the heat needed to vaporize 1.00 g water?arrow_forwardThe enthalpy of combustion of CH4(g) when H2O(l) is formed is 891 kJ/mol and the enthalpy of combustion of CH4(g) when H2O(g) is formed is 803 kJ/mol. Use these data and Hesss law to determine the enthalpy of vaporization for water.arrow_forward
- 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)arrow_forwardA quantity of ice at 0C is added to 64.3 g of water in a glass at 55C. After the ice melted, the temperature of the water in the glass was 15C. How much ice was added? The heat of fusion of water is 6.01 kJ/mol and the specific heat is 4.18 J/(g C).arrow_forwardWhen steam condenses to liquid water, 2.26 kJ of heat is released per gram. The heat from 168 g of steam is used to heat a room containing 6.44 104 g of air (20 ft 12 ft 8 ft). The specific heat of air at normal pressure is 1.015 J/(gC). What is the change in air temperature, assuming the heat from the steam is all absorbed by air?arrow_forward
- If you want to convert 56.0 g ice (at 0 °C) to water at 75.0 °C, calculate how many grams of propane, C3H8, you would have to bum to supply the energy to melt the ice and then warm it to the final temperature (at 1 bar).arrow_forwardMelting lead requires 5.50 cal/g. Calculate how many joules are required to melt 1.00 lb (454 g) lead.arrow_forward
