Chapter 18, Problem 35SP
The heat of combustion of ethane gas is 373 kcal/mole. Assuming that 60.0 percent of the heat is useful, how many liters of ethane, measured at standard temperature and pressure, must be burned to convert 50.0 kg of water at 10.0 °C to steam at 100.0 °C? One mole of a gas occupies 22.4 liters at precisely 0 °C and 1 atm.

A gas is heated to 75 °C and a pressure of 200 kPa. If the container is compressed to hold a volume of 700 mL, what was the volume of the gas, (in litres), at a temperature of 40 °C and 100 kPa pressure? B. A vessel of volume 5x10-5 m3 contains hydrogen at a pressure of 1.5 Pa at a temperature of 37 °C. Estimate: i. The number of molecules of hydrogen gas in the vessel. (4 marks) ii. The number of moles of hydrogen. iii. Mass of hydrogen iv. The kinetic energy of hydrogen. v. The root mean square speed. Given: M = 1.008 g/mol; R = 8.31 J/mol-K; NA = 6.02 x 1023 mol-1; k = 1.38 x 10-23 J/K
One mole of water vapor at 346 K cools
to 280 K. The heat given off by the cooling
water vapor is absorbed by 10 mol of an ideal
gas, and this heat absorption causes the gas to
expand at a constant temperature of 273 K.
If the final volume of the ideal gas is 24 L,
determine its initial volume. The specific heat
of water is 4186 J/kg °C and the latent heat
of vaporization is 2.26 x 106 J/kg.
Answer in units of 1.
