1.Easy
waterm = 250 gT1​ = 29 °C → T2​ = 95 °Cq = ?

How much heat q is needed to warm 250 g of water from 29 °C to 95 °C? The specific heat of water is 4.18 J/(g·°C). Give the answer in kJ.

m = 250 gT1 = 29 °CT2 = 95 °Cc = 4.18 J/(g·°C)
q = kJ
2.Easy
waterm = 100 gT1​ = 16 °C → T2​ = 55 °Cq = ?

How much heat q is needed to warm 100 g of water from 16 °C to 55 °C? The specific heat of water is 4.18 J/(g·°C). Give the answer in kJ.

m = 100 gT1 = 16 °CT2 = 55 °Cc = 4.18 J/(g·°C)
q = kJ

5.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
6.Hard
H250 g CH3​OH2CH3​OH + 3O₂reactants2CO₂ + 4H₂O(l)productsq = ?

Use the standard enthalpies of formation to find the heat q released when 250 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
