Define specific heat capacity (c). Include typical units.
Specific heat capacity is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of a substance by 1 °C; units: J/(g·°C).

Given ΔHf°(CO2(g)) = -393.5 kJ/mol and ΔHf°(H2O(l)) = -285.8 kJ/mol, write the formation reaction for CO2(g) and for H2O(l).
- CO2(g): C(graphite) + O2(g) → CO2(g)
- H2O(l): 1/2 O2(g) + H2(g) → H2O(l)

Estimate ΔH for CH4 + Cl2 → CH3Cl + HCl using average bond enthalpies: C–H = 413 kJ/mol,
Cl–Cl = 243 kJ/mol, C–Cl = 338 kJ/mol,
H–Cl = 431 kJ/mol. Show steps.
Bonds broken: one C–H (413) + Cl–Cl (243) = 656 kJ Bonds formed: one C–Cl (338) + one H–Cl (431) = 769 kJ ΔH ≈ 656 − 769 = −113 kJ

If the reaction A → B has ΔH = −120 kJ per mole of A, what is the enthalpy change when 2.5 mol of A reacts completely? Show the calculation.

Use average bond enthalpies to estimate ΔH for

On a heating curve for water, explain what happens to the temperature during a plateau (flat section) and why energy doesn't raise temperature at that segment.
Added heat energy does not raise the temperature because it is used exclusively to break intermolecular forces (potential energy) to change the state rather than increase molecular motion (kinetic energy).

Calculate ΔH°f for the reaction:
C(graphite) + 2 H2(g) → CH4(g)
using ΔHf° values: ΔHf°(CH4) = -74.8 kJ/mol,
ΔHf°(C(graphite)) = 0, ΔHf°(H2) = 0.
ΔH°rxn = −74.8 kJ/mol

Given: C(s) + O2 → CO2 ΔH = −393.5 kJ;

Provide a short step-by-step method (3–4 steps) for solving Hess’s Law problems when given multiple reactions with their ΔH values.
- Write target equation and list given equations with ΔH.
- Multiply or reverse given equations so their sum equals the target; when reversing change sign of ΔH; when multiplying scale ΔH by same factor.
- Add the adjusted equations and add the adjusted ΔH values.
- Cancel identical species that appear on both sides; result is ΔH for target reaction.
