1.Easy
waterm = 500 gq = 16 kJΔT = ?

16 kJ of heat is added to 500 g of water (c = 4.18 J/(g·°C)). Find the temperature rise ΔT.

q = 16 kJm = 500 gc = 4.18 J/(g·°C)
ΔT = °C
2.Easy
waterm = 500 gT1​ = 24 °C → T2​ = 80 °Cq = ?

How much heat q is needed to warm 500 g of water from 24 °C to 80 °C? The specific heat of water is 4.18 J/(g·°C). Give the answer in kJ.

m = 500 gT1 = 24 °CT2 = 80 °Cc = 4.18 J/(g·°C)
q = kJ
3.Medium
Tf​ = ?Leadm = 100 gT = 100 °Cc = 0.129 J/(g·°C)Waterm = 250 gT = 25 °Cc = 4.18 J/(g·°C)

A 100 g block of lead (c = 0.129 J/(g·°C)) at 100 °C is dropped into 250 g of water (c = 4.18 J/(g·°C)) at 25 °C in an insulated cup. Find the final temperature Tf.

5.Hard
H2C4​H10​ + 13O₂reactants8CO₂ + 10H₂O(l)productsΔH° = ?

Use the standard enthalpies of formation to find ΔH° for the reaction 2C4H10 + 13O₂ → 8CO₂ + 10H₂O(l).

ΔH°f(C4H10) = −125.6 kJ/molΔH°f(CO₂) = −393.5 kJ/molΔH°f(H₂O, l) = −285.8 kJ/molΔH°f(O₂) = 0
ΔH° = kJ
6.Hard
HC6​H12​O6​ + 6O₂reactants6CO₂ + 6H₂O(l)productsΔH° = ?

Use the standard enthalpies of formation to find ΔH° for the reaction C6H12O6 + 6O₂ → 6CO₂ + 6H₂O(l).

ΔH°f(C6H12O6) = −1274 kJ/molΔH°f(CO₂) = −393.5 kJ/molΔH°f(H₂O, l) = −285.8 kJ/molΔH°f(O₂) = 0
ΔH° = kJ
