1) How many kJ are absorbed when 45.2 g of water at 31.3 oC is heated to 76.9 oC? 2) Calculate the total heat released in kcal when 72.1 g water at 25.2 oC is cooled to 0 oC and freezes. 3) How many kilojoules are required to heat 55,500 mg of gold with specific heat = 0.129 J/g oC is heated from 24.6 oC to 123.4 oC? 4) Calculate the heat needed in kcal to change 45.6 g of water at 100 oC to change into steam.

1. Q = 8.66 KJ

2. Q = 7.58 Kcal

3. Q = 0.71 KJ

4. Q = 24.31 Kcal

Explanation:

1. The quantity of heat absorbed can be determined by:

       Q = mcΔθ

where: Q is the quantity of heat absorbed or released, m is the mass of the substance, c is the specific heat capacity of water = 4.2 j/g and Δθ is the change in temperature.

           = 45.2 × 4.2  × (76.9 - 31.3)

           = 8656.704

∴       Q = 8.66 KJ

The quantity of heat absorbed is 8.66 KJ.

2. Q = mcΔθ + mL

Where L is the latent heat of fusion of ice = 334 J.

       = m(cΔθ + L)

       = 72.1(4.2 × 25.2 + 334)

   Q = 31712.464 J

       = 7579.466 calories

The total heat released is 7.58 Kcal.

3. Q = mcΔθ

      = 55.5 × 0.129 × (123.4 - 24.6)

     = 707.3586

The quantity of heat required to increase the temperature of gold is 0.71 KJ.

4. Q = mL

Where: L is the specific latent heat of vaporization = 533 calories.

     Q  = 45.6 × 533

      = 24304.8

The quantity of heat required to change water to steam is 24.31 Kcal.

2fe + 3h2so4 -> fe2(so4)3 + 3h2

it is necessary to balance equations in order to get the proper amount of reactants as well as products in order not to make a miscalculation.

you cannot change the subscripts as that would change the substance itself. for instance, diatomic elements such as h2 only have the subscript two when a gas. another example would be so4, if you were to change the subscript, the element would no longer be sulfate.

we change the coefficients instead as that only changes the number of molecules rather than the substance itself.

hope this !

nuclear fission produces elements that are heavier than helium.

the elements that are used in nuclear fission and their products are much heavier than helium.
