1.Easy
waterm = 150 gT1​ = 16 °C → T2​ = 60 °Cq = ?

How much heat q is needed to warm 150 g of water from 16 °C to 60 °C? The specific heat of water is 4.18 J/(g·°C). Give the answer in kJ.

m = 150 gT1 = 16 °CT2 = 60 °Cc = 4.18 J/(g·°C)
q = kJ
2.Easy
waterm = 400 gq = 75 kJΔT = ?

75 kJ of heat is added to 400 g of water (c = 4.18 J/(g·°C)). Find the temperature rise ΔT.

q = 75 kJm = 400 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

Use the standard enthalpies of formation to find the heat q released when 20 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
