- Is the Sun exothermic or endothermic? Is it any less exothermic or endothermic in the winter, as opposed to the summer?arrow_forwardHow much heat, in joules and in calories, must be added to a 75.0g iron block with a specific heat of 0.449 Jig C to increase its temperature from 25 C to its melting temperature of 1535 C?arrow_forwardChlorine dioxide, ClO2, is a reddish yellow gas used in bleaching paper pulp. The average speed of a ClO2 molecule at 25C is 306 m/s. What is the kinetic energy (in joules) of a ClO2 molecule moving at this speed?arrow_forward
- A rebreathing gas mask contains potassium superoxide, KO2, which reacts with moisture in the breath to give oxygen. 4KO2(s)+2H2O(l)4KOH(s)+3O2(g) Estimate the grams of potassium superoxide required to supply a persons oxygen needs for one hour. Assume a person requires 1.00 102 kcal of energy for this time period. Further assume that this energy can be equated to the heat of combustion of a quantity of glucose, C6H12O6, to CO2(g) and H2O(l). From the amount of glucose required to give 1.00 102 kcal of heat, calculate the amount of oxygen consumed and hence the amount of KO2 required. The ff0 for glucose(s) is 1273 kJ/mol.arrow_forwardIn the following equation for a chemical reaction, the notation s, l, or g indicates whether the substance is in the solid, liquid, or gaseous state:2H2S(g)+3O2(g)2H20(g)+2SO2(g)+energy. Identify each of the following as a product or reactant: a SO2(g); b H2S(g); c O2(g); d H20(g). When the reaction takes place, is energy released or absorbed? Is the reaction endothermic or exothermic?arrow_forwardA piece of iron was heated to 95.4C and dropped into a constant-pressure calorimeter containing 284 g of water at 32.2C. The final temperature of the water and iron was 51.9C. Assuming that the calorimeter itself absorbs a negligible amount of heat, what was the mass (in grams) of the piece of iron? The specific heat of iron is 0.449 J/(gC), and the specific heat of water is 4.18 J/(gC).arrow_forward
- How much heat is required to raise the temperature of 100. grams of water from 25C near room temperature to 100.C its boiling point? The specific heat of water is approximately 4.2Jperg-K. a.3.2104J b.32J c.4.2104J d.76Jarrow_forwardfriend of yours reads that the process of water freezing is exothermic. This friend tells you that this can’t be true because exothermic implies “hot,” and ice is cold. Is the process of water freezing exothermic? If so, explain this process so your friend can understand it. If not, explain why not.arrow_forwardNatural gas companies in the United States use the therm as a unit of energy. One therm is 1105 BTU. (a) How many joules are in one therm? (1J=9.48104BTU) (b) When propane gas, C3H8, is burned in oxygen, CO2 and steam are produced. How many therms of energy are given off by 1.00 mol of propane gas?arrow_forward
- A 45-g aluminum spoon (specific heat 0.88 J/g °C) at 24 °C is placed in 180 mL (180 g) of coffee at 85 °C and the temperature of the two become equal.(a) What is the final temperature when the two become equal? Assume that coffee has the same specific heat as water.(b) The first time a student solved this problem she got an answer of 88 °C. Explain why this is clearly an incorrect answer.arrow_forward(a) Calculate the kinetic energy, in joules of a 1200-kg automobilemoving at 18 m/s. (b) Convert this energy to calories. (c) When the automobile brakes to a stop is the “lost” kineticenergy converted mostly to heat or to some form of potentialenergy?arrow_forward1. How much heat, in joules and in calories, must be added to a 75.3 g chromium block with a specific heat of 0.450 J/g·°C to increase its temperature from 25°C to its melting temperature of 1907°C? J = cal = 2. A piece of unknown substance weighs 45.9 g and requires 2730 J to increase its temperature from 23.1°C to 88.9°C. (a) What is the specific heat (in J/g·°C) of the substance? J/g·°C (b) If it is one of the substances found in the table below, what is its likely identity? Specific Heats of Common Substances at 25°C and 1 bar Substance Symbol (state) Specific Heat (J/g·°C) gold Au(s) 0.129 copper Cu(s) 0.384 iron Fe(s) 0.449 argon Ar(g) 0.521 silicon Si(s) 0.712 carbon dioxide CO2(g) 0.843 aluminum Al(s) 0.904 nitrogen N2(g) 1.039 water H2O(l) 4.1801 helium He(g) 5.196arrow_forward
