Interpretation:
The energy change in the given reaction under the given conditions is to be calculated.
Concept Introduction:
Sign of heat is positive, if heat is absorbed by the system, and negative if heat is released by the system.
Sign of work done is negative, if work is done by the system, and positive if work is done on the system.
The work done is calculated by the formula as:
Here,
The conversion of work done from
The energy change of the system is calculated by the formula as:
Here,

- The decomposition of ozone, O3, to oxygen, O2, is an exothermic reaction. What is the sign of q? If you were to touch a flask in which ozone is decomposing to oxygen, would you expect the flask to feel warm or cool?arrow_forwardGasohol, a mixture of gasoline and ethanol, C2H5OH, is used as automobile fuel. The alcohol releases energy in a combustion reaction with O2. C2H5OH(l)+3O2(g)2CO2(g)+3H2O(l) If 0.115 g ethanol evolves 3.62 kJ when burned at constant pressure, calculate the combustion enthalpy for ethanol.arrow_forwardAs the gas trapped in a cylinder with a movable piston cools, 1.34 kJ of work is done on the gas by the surroundings. If the gas is at a constant pressure of 1.33 105 Pa, what is the change of volume (in L) of the gas?arrow_forward
- Nitrogen gas (2.75 L) is confined in a cylinder under constant atmospheric pressure (1.01 105 pascals). The volume of gas decreases to 2.10 L when 485 J of energy is transferred as heat to the surroundings. What is the change in internal energy of the gas?arrow_forwardYou did an experiment in which you found that 59.8 J was required to raise the temperature of 25.0 g of ethylene glycol (a compound used as antifreeze in automobile engines) by 1.00 K. Calculate the specific heat capacity of ethylene glycol from these data.arrow_forwardWhen solid iron burns in oxygen gas (at constant pressure) to produce Fe2O3(s), 1651 kJ of heat is released for every 4 mol of iron burned. How much heat is released when 10.3 g Fe2O3(s) is produced (at constant pressure)? What additional information would you need to calculate the heat released to produce this much Fe2O3(s) if you burned iron in ozone gas, O3(g), instead of O2(g)?arrow_forward
- A sample of ethanol, C2H5OH, weighing 2.84 g was burned in an excess of oxygen in a bomb calorimeter. The temperature of the calorimeter rose from 25.00C to 33.73C. If the heat capacity of the calorimeter and contents was 9.63 kJ/C, what is the value of q for burning 1.00 mol of ethanol at constant volume and 25.00C? The reaction is C2H5OH(l)+3O2(g)2CO2(g)+3H2O(l) Is q equal to U or H?arrow_forwardA sample of benzene, C6H6, weighing 3.51 g was burned in an excess of oxygen in a bomb calorimeter. The temperature of the calorimeter rose from 25.00C to 37.18C. If the heat capacity of the calorimeter and contents was 12.05 kJ/C, what is the value of q for burning 1.00 mol of benzene at constant volume and 25.00C? The reaction is C6H6(l)+152O2(g)6CO2(g)+3H2O(l) Is q equal to U or H?arrow_forwardAnother reaction that is used to propel rockets is N2O4(l)+2N2H4(l)3N2(g)+4H2O(g) This reaction has the advantage that neither product is toxic, so no dangerous pollution is released. When the reaction consumes 10.0 g liquid N2O4, it releases 124 kJ of heat. (a) Is the sign of the enthalpy change positive or negative? (b) What is the value of H for the chemical equation if it is understood to be written in molar quantities?arrow_forward
