Sample Problem 6.3 Finding the Quantity of Heat from Specific Heat
Capacity
pg 239
PROBLEM: A layer of copper welded to the bottom of a skillet weighs 125 g.
How much heat is needed to raise the temperature of the copper
layer from 250C to 300.0C? The specific heat capacity (c) of Cu
is 0.387 J/g*K.
PLAN: Given the mass, specific heat capacity and change in temperature, we
can use q = mass x c x T to find the answer. T in 0C is the same as for
K.
SOLUTION: 0.387 J
q= 125 g x x (300-25)0C = 1.33x104 J
g * C
ANS: -177 kJ
Sample Problem 6.5 Determining the Heat of a Reaction
(pg240)
PROBLEM: 50.0 mL of 0.500 M NaOH is placed in a coffee-cup calorimeter at
25.00oC and carefully add 25.0 mL of 0.500 M HCl, also at 25.00oC.
After stirring, the final temperature is 27.21oC. Calculate qsoln (in J) and
Hrxn (in kJ/mol). d = 1.00 g/mL and c = 4.184 J/g*K
PLAN: Use volumes and density to find the mass of the water. Calculate the
moles of NaOH and HCl. Write balanced equations and determine the
limiting reactant. Calculate qsoln using the mass, c, and T and finally
dividing by the moles of water gives the heat per mole.
PROBLEM: A manufacturer claims that its new dietetic dessert has “fewer
than 10 Calories per serving.” To test the claim, a chemist at
the Department of Consumer Affairs places one serving in a
bomb calorimeter and burns it in O2 (the heat capacity of the
calorimeter = 8.151 kJ/K). The temperature increases 4.937oC.
Is the manufacturer’s claim correct?

Thermochemical Eq:
A balanced equation that includes the H information
Physical states for each substances must be indicated
H refers to the amounts and phys states in that equation
Sign

Magnitude
H is proportional to amount of subs (H n)
2 H2O(l) → 2 H2 (g) + O2(g) H = 572 kJ
Decomposition of 2 mol of water to its elements is an
endothermic rxn
Sign
2 H2 (g) + O2(g) → 2 H2O(l) H = -572 kJ
Formation of 2 mol of water from its elements is an
exothermic rxn
