1.Easy
waterm = 150 gT1​ = 18 °C → T2​ = 65 °Cq = ?

How much heat q is needed to warm 150 g of water from 18 °C to 65 °C? The specific heat of water is 4.18 J/(g·°C). Give the answer in kJ.

m = 150 gT1 = 18 °CT2 = 65 °Cc = 4.18 J/(g·°C)
q = kJ
2.Easy
waterm = 750 gq = 80 kJΔT = ?

80 kJ of heat is added to 750 g of water (c = 4.18 J/(g·°C)). Find the temperature rise ΔT.

q = 80 kJm = 750 gc = 4.18 J/(g·°C)
ΔT = °C

5.Hard
H25 g CH4​CH4​ + 2O₂reactantsCO₂ + 2H₂O(l)productsq = ?

Use the standard enthalpies of formation to find the heat q released when 25 g of CH4 (M = 16.04 g/mol) burns completely: CH4 + 2O₂ → CO₂ + 2H₂O(l). Give q as a positive number.

ΔH°f(CH4) = −74.8 kJ/molΔH°f(CO₂) = −393.5 kJ/molΔH°f(H₂O, l) = −285.8 kJ/molΔH°f(O₂) = 0

H100 g CH3​OH2CH3​OH + 3O₂reactants2CO₂ + 4H₂O(l)productsq = ?

Use the standard enthalpies of formation to find the heat q released when 100 g of CH3OH (M = 32.04 g/mol) burns completely: 2CH3OH + 3O₂ → 2CO₂ + 4H₂O(l). Give q as a positive number.

ΔH°f(CH3OH) = −238.7 kJ/molΔH°f(CO₂) = −393.5 kJ/molΔH°f(H₂O, l) = −285.8 kJ/molΔH°f(O₂) = 0
q = kJ
