a. The first step in the industrial recovery of zinc from the zinc sulfide ore is roasting,
that is, the conversion of ZnS to ZnO by heating:
4. Using the Hess’s law and the enthalpies of the given reactions,
calculate the enthalpy of the combustion reaction of CH3Cl:
6. Calculate the bond dissociation energy for one mole of O−F bonds, given the following
data. (Hint: oxygen is the central atom of OF2)
7. A 0.88 g gummy bear is burned in a bomb calorimeter. The temperature started at 21.5 °C
and leveled off at 24.2 °C. The manufacturer of the bomb calorimeter determined the heat
capacity of the calorimeter to be 11.4 kJ/°C. Calculate the heat of combustion per gram of
gummy bear.
8. A 1.5 kg block of Ni at 100 °C is placed into 500 mL of water that has a temperature of
21 °C. What is the final temperature assuming the specific heat of Ni is 0.44 J/g-°C and
the specific heat of water is 4.184 J/g-°C. Hint: the total heat lost is equal to the total heat
gained!
