1.Easy
waterm = 1000 gT1​ = 30 °C → T2​ = 90 °Cq = ?

How much heat q is needed to warm 1000 g of water from 30 °C to 90 °C? The specific heat of water is 4.18 J/(g·°C). Give the answer in kJ.

m = 1000 gT1 = 30 °CT2 = 90 °Cc = 4.18 J/(g·°C)
q = kJ
2.Easy
waterm = 150 gq = 36 kJΔT = ?

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

q = 36 kJm = 150 gc = 4.18 J/(g·°C)
ΔT = °C

H2C2​H6​ + 7O₂reactants4CO₂ + 6H₂O(l)productsΔH° = ?

Use the standard enthalpies of formation to find ΔH° for the reaction 2C2H6 + 7O₂ → 4CO₂ + 6H₂O(l).

ΔH°f(C2H6) = −84.7 kJ/molΔH°f(CO₂) = −393.5 kJ/molΔH°f(H₂O, l) = −285.8 kJ/molΔH°f(O₂) = 0
