1.Easy
waterm = 1000 gT1​ = 11 °C → T2​ = 95 °Cq = ?

How much heat q is needed to warm 1000 g of water from 11 °C to 95 °C? The specific heat of water is 4.18 J/(g·°C). Give the answer in kJ.

m = 1000 gT1 = 11 °CT2 = 95 °Cc = 4.18 J/(g·°C)
q = kJ
2.Easy
waterm = 300 gT1​ = 15 °C → T2​ = 75 °Cq = ?

How much heat q is needed to warm 300 g of water from 15 °C to 75 °C? The specific heat of water is 4.18 J/(g·°C). Give the answer in kJ.

m = 300 gT1 = 15 °CT2 = 75 °Cc = 4.18 J/(g·°C)
q = kJ

H10 g CH3​OH2CH3​OH + 3O₂reactants2CO₂ + 4H₂O(l)productsq = ?

Use the standard enthalpies of formation to find the heat q released when 10 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
