AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around solving three chemistry problems related to enthalpy changes and Hess's Law. The first problem involves determining how much ice remains after adding 82 grams to water cooling from 35 degrees C to 0 degrees C, requiring an understanding of heat transfer. The second problem focuses on calculating the heat of combustion for butane and the energy produced when burning 1 gram of it. The third problem requires calculating the change in enthalpy for a reaction using provided enthalpy values, emphasizing the correct application of Hess's Law. Participants are encouraged to show their work and engage with the problems collaboratively.

Homework Statement


- 82 grams of ice is added to 0.15 liters of water at 35 degrees C. If the solution is allowed to cool to 0 degrees C, how much ice remain? (Heat of fusion of ice is 333 J/g)

- Many cigarette lighters contain liquid butane, C4H10 for which ΔH(formation) = -127 kJ/mol. Calculate the heat of combustion of this reaction, and then how much energy is produced when 1.00 grams of liquid butane is burned. The products of the combustion are CO2 and water vapor.

- Using the following data:

Ca + 2C = CaC2 H°=-62.8 kJ
Ca + 1/2O2 = CaO H°= -635.5 kJ
CaO + H2O = Ca(OH)2 H°= -653.1 kJ
C2H2 + 5/2O2 = 2CO2 + H2O H°= -1300 kJ
C + O2 = CO2 H°= -393.5 kJ

Calculate the change in enthalpy for the following equation

CaC2 + 2H2O = Ca(OH)2 + C2H2

The Attempt at a Solution



I know that for the Hess Law problem, I need to cancel out unimportant elements and compounds, but I'm completely lost with the other two problems.

Welcome to PF.

According to the forum policy, you need to show your solution for the problem.

We don't cancel out "unimportant" stuff, we just add chemical equations and some compounds cancel each other out in the process.

For the first problem, how is heat related to the cooling of 0.15 liters of water from 35 degrees C to 0?

Now, do TRY to solve all problems. Post your steps here. Think twice and don't be afraid to make mistakes.

TL;DR Summary: cannot find out error in solution proposed. [![question with rate laws][1]][1] Now the rate law for the reaction (i.e reaction rate) can be written as: $$ R= k[N_2O_5] $$ my main question is, WHAT is this reaction equal to? what I mean here is, whether $$k[N_2O_5]= -d[N_2O_5]/dt$$ or is it $$k[N_2O_5]= -1/2 \frac{d}{dt} [N_2O_5] $$ ? The latter seems to be more apt, as the reaction rate must be -1/2 (disappearance rate of N2O5), which adheres to the stoichiometry of the...
I don't get how to argue it. i can prove: evolution is the ability to adapt, whether it's progression or regression from some point of view, so if evolution is not constant then animal generations couldn`t stay alive for a big amount of time because when climate is changing this generations die. but they dont. so evolution is constant. but its not an argument, right? how to fing arguments when i only prove it.. analytically, i guess it called that (this is indirectly related to biology, im...
