Chapter 7, Problem 104

LP gas burns according to the exothermic reaction: C3H8( g) + 5 O2( g)¡3 CO2( g) + 4 H2O( g) ΔH °rxn = -2044 kJ What mass of LP gas is necessary to heat 2.50 L of water from room temperature (25.0 °C) to boiling (100.0 °C)? Assume that during heating, 15% of the heat emitted by the LP gas combustion goes to heat the water. The rest is lost as heat to the surroundings. (Assume a density of 1.00 g/mL for water.)

Hi everyone. So ask how much butane gas Ingram's is needed to eat 400 ml of water From 15°C to 67°C. If only 45% of heat is transferred to the water. We call that the amount of heat transferred. It was a mass of the solution, specific heat of the solution. How's the temperature change? So cute is are looking for. We also need to find masks, also specific heat. This 4.186 Joel's program degree Celsius and a temperature change. It's 67 Celsius minus 15 in Greece Celsius, We get 52 very Celsius. So I need to first find the mass of the water. 400 mL. And in one g we have one minute later. And this is the density of water. Just give us 400 g. Now I need to find the amount of heat needed to boil the water. That's cute. Get 400 grams. 4.186. Those programs, Times degrees Celsius, 52°C. Super cute. 87068 0.8 jaws. And if you can write it. Tequila Jules. We have 1000 jewels And one killer job. We get 87.0688 Colonel jules. That's only 45% of the heat is transferred to the water. 45 over 100 Equal to 87.0688 hill jaws about about x. They're gonna have a .45 X 87.0688. Kill Jaws. Sophie to by both sides by . her eggs. Gonna get 193 0.48 62 field goals. And now I need to determine the mass of butane gas of - 0.48 62. Hello jules because he is being transferred And in one mold - 0.3. Hello jules. And in one more, give them all the mass of butane. And this is four 12.011 g past 10. That's 1.008 g. Was 58.12 g. 3.91 g. Thanks for watching my video. And I hope it was helpful.

In a sunny location, sunlight has a power density of about 1 kW/m2. Photovoltaic solar cells can convert this power into electricity with 15% efficiency. If a typical home uses 385 kWh of electricity per month, how many square meters of solar cells are required to meet its energy requirements? Assume that electricity can be generated from the sunlight for 8 hours per day.

The kinetic energy of a rolling billiard ball is given by KE = 12 mv2. Suppose a 0.17-kg billiard ball is rolling down a pool table with an initial speed of 4.5 m/s. As it travels, it loses some of its energy as heat. The ball slows down to 3.8 m/s and then collides head-on with a second billiard ball of equal mass. The first billiard ball completely stops and the second one rolls away with a velocity of 3.8 m>s. Assume the first billiard ball is the system. Calculate q.

Use standard enthalpies of formation to calculate the standard change in enthalpy for the melting of ice. (The ΔH °f for H2O(s) is -291.8 kJ/mol.) Use this value to calculate the mass of ice required to cool 355 mL of a beverage from room temperature (25.0 °C) to 0.0 °C. Assume that the specific heat capacity and density of the beverage are the same as those of water.

Textbook Question

Dry ice is solid carbon dioxide. Instead of melting, solid carbon dioxide sublimes according to the equation: CO2(s)¡CO2( g) ◀ When carbon dioxide sublimes, the gaseous cO2 is cold enough to cause water vapor in the air to condense, forming fog. When dry ice is added to warm water, heat from the water causes the dry ice to sublime more quickly. The evaporating carbon dioxide produces a dense fog often used to create special effects. In a simple dry ice fog machine, dry ice is added to warm water in a Styrofoam cooler. The dry ice produces fog until it evaporates away, or until the water gets too cold to sublime the dry ice quickly enough. Suppose that a small Styrofoam cooler holds 15.0 L of water heated to 85 °C. Use standard enthalpies of formation to calculate the change in enthalpy for dry ice sublimation, and calculate the mass of dry ice that should be added to the water so that the dry ice completely sublimes away when the water reaches 25 °C. Assume no heat loss to the surroundings. (The ΔH °f for CO2(s) is -427.4 kJ/mol.)
