1. The combustion of ethane, C2H4, is an exothermic reaction.

C2H4(g) + 3 O2(g)  2 CO2(g) + 2 H2O(l) ∆H = -1390J/mol

Calculate the amount of heat given off when 4.79 g of C2H4 reacts with excess oxygen.

4.79 g C2H4 x 1 mol C2H4 x 1.39 x 103J x 1 kJ = 0.238 kJ

28.0 g C2H4 1 mol C2H4 1000 J

2. Given the following reaction: C(s) + 2 S(s) + 89.3 kJ  CS2(l)

How many grams of Carbon can be burned if 520.0 kJ of energy are available?

520.0 kJ x 1 mol C x 12.0 g C = 69.9 g Carbon

89.3 kJ 1 mol C

3. If substance X has a higher specific heat value, how will the temperature of substance X
compare to substance A with a low specific heat if both substances gain the same amount of
energy and have the same initial temperature?

Substance X will end at a lower temperature than substance A.

4. What amount of energy is required to change 40.0 grams of liquid water at room
temperature (23.0oC) into 40.0 g of steam at 145.0oC?

specific heat(C) Cliquid= 4.18 J/goC C steam= 1.67 J/goC

ΔHvap=40.7 kJ/mol

Starting with the T = 23.0oC the water is liquid need to use the Cliquid = 4.18 J/goC,
to change it to liquid water at 100.0oC (Δ T = 77.0oC).

q= mCΔT q = (40.0 g) • (4.18 J) • (77.0oC) x ( 1 kJ ) = 12.9 kJ

g oC 1000 J
Change the liquid water to steam (gas), use the Hvap number
q = m Hvap q = (40.0 g) • (40.7 kJ) x ( 1 mol ) = 90.4 kJ
mol 18.0 g
Now gas at a T = 100.0oC and need to use the Csteam = 1.67 J/goC, to change it to
steam at 145oC (Δ T = 45.0oC).
q= mCΔT q = (40.0 g) • (1.67 J) • (45.0oC) x ( 1 kJ ) = 3.01 kJ
g oC 1000 J
To determine the total energy the values need to be added together:
 12.9 kJ + 90.4 kJ + 3.01 kJ = 106.3 kJ need correct sig figs and unit
5. If 15.0 grams of O2 reacts with excess methane in a combustion reaction how much
energy is produced?

ΔH = 357 kJ/mol

15.0 g O2 x 1 mol CH4 x 357 kJ = 83.7 kJ

32.0 g O2 2 mol O2
