waterm = 250 gT1​ = 25 °C → T2​ = 55 °Cq = ?

How much heat q is needed to warm 250 g of water from 25 °C to 55 °C? The specific heat of water is 4.18 J/(g·°C). Give the answer in kJ.

m = 250 gT1 = 25 °CT2 = 55 °Cc = 4.18 J/(g·°C)
q = kJ
2.Easy
waterm = 150 gq = 35 kJΔT = ?

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

q = 35 kJm = 150 gc = 4.18 J/(g·°C)
ΔT = °C

H2CH3​OH + 3O₂reactants2CO₂ + 4H₂O(l)productsΔH° = ?

Use the standard enthalpies of formation to find ΔH° for the reaction 2CH3OH + 3O₂ → 2CO₂ + 4H₂O(l).

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

H10 g C6​H12​O6​C6​H12​O6​ + 6O₂reactants6CO₂ + 6H₂O(l)productsq = ?

Use the standard enthalpies of formation to find the heat q released when 10 g of C6H12O6 (M = 180.16 g/mol) burns completely: C6H12O6 + 6O₂ → 6CO₂ + 6H₂O(l). Give q as a positive number.

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