10. A 744.9 g sample of water at 93.40 C loses 51.83 kJ of beat. Calculate the temperature
of the water after losing this amount of heat. (c = 4.184 J/g 0 C). (Answer: 76.8 0 C).
11. A bomb calorimeter has a heat capacity of 1465 J/K and contains 850 g of water. A
sample of 3.00 g of acetic acid, CH3COOH is burnt in excess oxygen in the calorimeter
and the temperature is observed to rise from 20.1 0C to 28.6 0C. Calculate the heat
combustion, ∆H⁰c of acetic acid. (Answer: -853.06 kJ/mol)
Given the specific heat of water is 4.18 J/g 0C. Atomic mass : H=1, C=12, O=16
12. A bomb calorimeter has a heat capacity of 19.65 kJ/K and contained 1000 g of water.
A sample of 50.0 g of impure sucrose C12H22O11 is burnt in excess oxygen in the
calorimeter and the temperature of water is observed to rise from 20.5 0C to 35.8 0C.
Compute the heat of combustion, ∆H⁰c of sucrose. Assume the impurities are
unaffected by the combustion process. (Answer: -2497.26 kJ/mol)
Given the specific heat of water is 4.18 J/g 0C. Atomic mass : H=1, C=12, O=16
13. The combustion of 0.015 mol of sucrose, C12H22O11 in a bomb calorimeter causes the
temperature to increase by 5.2 0C. Given the heat capacity of the calorimeter is 4.90
kJ/ 0C, compute the heat of combustion, ∆H⁰c of sucrose (in kJ/mol). (Atomic mass:
H=1, C=12, O=16). (Answer: -1698.67 kJ/mol).
14. A 5.023 g sample of a metal was heated to 94.00C by placing it in a test-tube
submerges in boiling water. The metal was then dropped into 27.0 g of water at 28.9
0
C in a coffee-cup calorimeter. The water in the calorimeter warmed up to 30.2 0C.
Calculate the specific heat of the metal. (Answer: 0.46 J/g. 0C)
15. By using the following data, determine the entalphy change of combustion, ∆H0c of
propene under standard conditions.
