When 25.0 g of water absorbs heat and its temperature increases, is the process endothermic or exothermic?
Endothermic because the temperature increases
C(s) + O2(g) yields CO2(g) H=-393kJ
CO(g) + 1/2 O2(g) yields CO2(g) H=-283
Find ΔH:
C(s) + 1/2 O2(g) yields CO(g)
After reversing equation 2, the CO2 and 1/2 O2 cancel out. Then you add -393 and +283 it = -110
Use average bond enthalpies to estimate ΔH for this reaction:
H2(g)+Cl2(g)→2HCl(g)
Given:
When shown the bonds the equation is broken - formed. there is 1 of both H2 and Cl2 so you add 436 +242 and there is 2 H-Cl bonds so you double 431 to get 862.Then you subtract 862 from (436+242) and get -84.
A 50.0 g sample of water is heated from 20.0°C to 21.0°C.
How much heat was absorbed?
Given:
q=mcΔT
50.0 x 4.18 x 1.0 = 209J
When 5.0 g of NH₄NO₃ dissolves in water, the solution temperature decreases from 22.0°C to 18.0°C. Is the dissolving process endothermic or exothermic?
Endothermic because the system gains heat and the temperature of the water decreases from 22 to 18.
N2(g)+O2(g)→2NO(g)ΔH=+180 kJ
2NO(g) + O2(g) → 2NO2(g) ΔH=−114
Find ΔH:
N2(g)+2O2(g)→2NO2(g)
when the equations are combined, the 2NO cancels out, and then you add the 180 -114 and get 66.
CH4(g)+2O2(g)→CO2(g)+2H2O(g)
Given:
Broken - formed
413 x 4 = 1652, 498 x 2 = 996 996+1652= 2648
799 x 2 = 1598, 463 x 4=185 1852+1598=3450
2648 - 3450 = -802
A 50.0 g sample of water absorbs 840 J of heat. The temperature increases from 20.0°C to 24.0°C.
What is the specific heat capacity of the water?
q=mcΔT c=q/(ΔTm)
840 / (50 x 4) = 4.2 J/g C
A reaction is carried out in a coffee-cup calorimeter. The solution temperature increases from 21.5°C to 27.8°C. Is this process endothermic or exothermic?
Exothermic because the solution (surroundings) temperature increased, meaning the reaction released energy.
2S(s) + 3O2(g) → 2SO3(g) ΔH=−594
2S(s) + 2O2(g) → 2SO2(g) ΔH=−594
Find ΔH:
2SO2(g) + O2(g) → 2SO3(g)
You need to reverse equation 2 so that the 2S cancels out, and 2 of the 3 Oxygens on the left cancel out. Then you add -594 and 594 to end up with 0.
Estimate ΔH for the reaction:
N2(g)+O2(g)→2NO(g)
Given bond enthalpies:
Broken - formed
945 + 498 = 1443
607 x 2 = 1214
1443-1214 = 229kJ
A 100.0 g sample of water at 30.0°C absorbs 2,090 J of heat.
What is the final temperature of the water?
Given:
q=mcΔT ΔT=q / mc
2090 / (100.0 x 4.18) = 5 C
In a calorimetry experiment, a reaction absorbs 3.6 kJ of heat from the surroundings. What is the sign of ΔH, and is the reaction endothermic or exothermic?
Endothermic because the reaction absorbs heat from the surroundings.
H is positive (+3.6 kJ) because energy is going into the system.
C(s) + O2(g) → CO2(g) ΔH=−394 kJ
2CO(g) + O2(g) → 2CO2(g) ΔH=−566kJ
Find ΔH:
2C(s) + O2(g) → 2CO(g)
First you need to multiply equation 1 by 2 and then reverse equation 2. You end up having to add -788 and +566 to get -222kJ
Estimate ΔH for the reaction:
C2H4(g)+H2(g)→C2H6(g)
Given bond enthalpies:
Broken - formed
614 + 4 x 413 + 436 = 2702
347 + 6 x 413 = 2825
2702 - 2825 = -123kJ
A 50.0 g sample of a substance is heated from 18.0°C to 32.0°C. It absorbs 1,470 J of heat.
What is the specific heat capacity of the substance?
Given:
q=mcΔT c = q/ mΔT
1470 / (50.0 x 14.0) = 2.1 J/g C
A reaction causes the temperature of water in a calorimeter to rise from 20.0°C to 26.5°C. Is the reaction endothermic or exothermic?
Exothermic because the water (surroundings) increases in temperature, meaning it gained heat from the reaction. So the reaction must be releasing heat.
C(s) + O2(g) → CO2(g) ΔH=−394 kJ
2CO(g) + O2(g) → 2CO2(g) ΔH=−566 kJ
Find ΔH: 2C(s) + O2(g) → 2CO(g)
First, cancel out the O2 and 2CO2 by doubling reaction 1 and reversing reaction two. This leaves you having to add -788 and 566 to get -222kJ
Estimate ΔH for the reaction:
HCN(g)+2H2(g)→CH3NH2(g)
Given bond enthalpies:

413 + 891 + 436 x 2 = 2176
(3 x 413) + (2 x 391) + 305 = 2326
2176 - 2326 = -150kJ
A 200.0 g sample of water at 15.0°C absorbs 5,040 J of heat.
What is the final temperature of the water?
Given:
q=mcΔT ΔT=q/mc
5040 / (200.0×4.18) = 6.03
Initial temp + ΔT = Final temp
15.0 + 6.03 = 21.03
