1.Easy
waterm = 150 gq = 58 kJΔT = ?

58 kJ of heat is added to 150 g of water (c = 4.18 J/(g·°C)). Find the temperature rise ΔT.

q = 58 kJm = 150 gc = 4.18 J/(g·°C)
ΔT = °C
2.Easy
waterm = 500 gq = 27 kJΔT = ?

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

q = 27 kJm = 500 gc = 4.18 J/(g·°C)
ΔT = °C

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
HC3​H8​ + 5O₂reactants3CO₂ + 4H₂O(l)productsΔH° = ?

Use the standard enthalpies of formation to find ΔH° for the reaction C3H8 + 5O₂ → 3CO₂ + 4H₂O(l).

ΔH°f(C3H8) = −103.8 kJ/molΔH°f(CO₂) = −393.5 kJ/molΔH°f(H₂O, l) = −285.8 kJ/molΔH°f(O₂) = 0
ΔH° = kJ
