Problem 1: A 8.20 g lead bullet moving at 325.0 m/s strikes a steel plate and stops.

If all the bullet's


kinetic energy is converted to thermal energy (and none is transferred to the steel plate), what is the
bullet's temperature change?

Cp for solid lead = 0.128 J g-1 °C-1

Problem #2: A typical microwave oven uses radiation with a 12.2 cm wavelength.

a) How many moles of photons of this radiation are required to raise the temperature of 385.0 g of
water from 14.3 °C to 94.8 °C?

b) The watt is a unit of power - the rate at which energy is delivered or consumed: 1 W = 1 J/s. Assume
that all the energy of a 760.0 W microwave oven is delivered to the heating of water described in (a).
How long will it take to heat the water?

Problem #3: An ice cube whose mass is 0.080 kg is taken from a freezer where its temperature was -12.0
°C and dropped into a glass of water at 0.0 °C. If no heat is gained or lost from outside, how much water
freezes onto the cube? The latent heat of fusion of water is 33.5 x 10 4 J/kg and the specific heat capacity
of ice is 2000 J/kg °C.

Problem #4: Citric acid has three dissociable hydrogens. When 5.00 mL of 0.64 M citric acid and 45.00
mL of 0.77 M NaOH at an initial temperature of 26.0 °C are mixed, the temperature rises to 27.9 °C as
the citric acid is neutralized. The combined mixture has a mass of 51.6 g and a specific heat of 4.0 J/g °C.
Assuming no heat is transferred to the surroundings, calculate the enthalpy change for the reaction of
2.15 mols of citric acid in kJ.

Problem #5: 20.0 g of water at 28.5 ⁰C is mixed with 43.5 g of water at 82.3 ⁰C. What is the final
temperature after mixing?

Problem #6: How much heat is evolved when converting 18.0 g of steam at 155.0 ⁰C to ice at -55.0 ⁰C
Csp Ice = 2.06 J g-1 ⁰C-1
Csp Steam = 2.02 J g-1 ⁰C-1
∆Hvap = -40.66 kJ/mol
