Unit 17 Study Guide

1. How much heat is required to raise the temperature of 789 g of acetic acid, HC2H3O2, from 25.0°C to 82.7°C?
Specific Heat for acetic acid = 2.05 J/g°C.

2. How much heat is released when 432 g of water cools from 71.0°C to 18.0°C?

3. Compute the heat released when 42.8 g of calcium carbide, CaC2, cools from 74.2°C to 11.5°C. Specific Heat for
calcium carbide = 0.980 J/g°C.

4. If a piece of gold (Specific Heat = 0.129 J/g°C) with mass 45.5 g and a temperature of 805°C is dropped into 192 g of
water at 15.0°C, what is the final temperature of the system?

5. A piece of unknown metal with mass 14.9 g is heated to 100.0°C and dropped into 75.0 g of water at 20.0°C. The
final temperature of the system is 28.5°C. What is the specific heat of the metal?

6. How much energy is required to raise the temperature of 175 g H2O from -11°C to 140°C. (Hint: don’t forget to think
about phase changes!).

7. If 100.0 g of pure water at 27.0°C are placed into an insulated flask, how many grams of ice at 0.0°C must be added
to lower the temperature of the water to 5.0°C? (remember: -heat lost = heat gained)(There is also another trick to
watch out for!)

8. Calculate the enthalpy for the reaction C2H4 + H2 → C2H6 using the following data:

9. Find ∆H for the following reactions:

a. 2NO(g) + O2(g) → 2NO2(g)
b. Na2CO3(s) + 2HCl(aq) → 2NaCl(aq) + H2O(l) + CO2(g)

10. Calculate the enthalpy of reaction for the following equation CuCl2(s) + Cu(s) → 2CuCl(s) using the information given
below:
Cu(s) + Cl2(g) → CuCl2(s) ∆H = -206 kJ
2Cu(s) + Cl2(g) → 2CuCl(s) ∆H = -136 kJ

11. Calculate the enthalpy of formation of carbon dioxide from its elements: C(g) + 2O(g) → CO2(g). Use the following
data.
2O(g) → O2(g) ∆H = -250 kJ
C(s) → C(g) ∆H = +720 kJ
CO2(g) → C(s) + O2(g) ∆H = +390 kJ
