Practice Heat Curve Calculations AVHS

The answers are given in parenthesis after the problem to see if you are getting the correct answer. Use
the values in the table to answer the problems.

These values are specifically for H2O.

C water C ice C steam ΔHvap ΔHfus
4.18 J/gºC 2.06 J/gºC 1.7 J/gºC 40.7 kJ/mol 6.01 kJ/mol

1. How much energy is needed to raise the temperature of 17g of H2O from -31ºC up to 153ºC?
(53 kJ)

2. How much energy is needed to raise the temperature of 52g of H2O from -250ºC up to 300ºC?
(2.0x102 kJ)

3. How much energy is needed to raise the temperature of 19g of H2O from 22ºC up to 105ºC?
(49 kJ)

4. How much energy is removed to lower the temperature of 12g of H2O from 63ºC down to -186ºC?
(11.8 kJ)

Try doing these same calculations with the calorie values instead of joules. Use the table below.

C water C ice C steam ΔHvap ΔHfus

1.0 cal/gºC 0.50 cal/gºC 0.48 cal/gºC 9720 cal/mol 1440 cal/mol

Answers:
1. 13000 cal
2. 48000 cal
3. 12000 cal
4. 2800 cal

* Your answers may not be exact but they should be close, this would be due to rounding.
* Watch your values for ΔH, they could be in J/g or cal/g, watch your units!
