5 PART III: CONCEPTS 41. (3 pts) For a sample of gas at constant pressure, what s T n the table below? We use Charles law to arrve at: V 1 /V 2 = T 1 /T 2 The fnal temperature T 2 = (V 2 x T 1 )/V 1 = 182 K 42. (5 pts) Below s gven a process that results n a change of both volume and temperature. a. Has any work been done? If so, s the work postve or negatve wth respect to the system? There s a change n volume so work was done. Snce the fnal volume s greater than the ntal, the system has expanded aganst the surroundngs and w system < 0 (.e. the system does work on the surroundngs) b. Has there been an enthalpy change? If so, s the reacton exothermc or endothermc? There s a change of temperature, so heat transfer occurred as well. Snce T fnal > T ntal, q > 0. Hence the process s endothermc. 43. (4 pts) A reacton s carred out n a cylnder, ftted wth a movable pston (see below). The startng volume s 5.00 L. At constant pressure of 1 atm the changes n enthalpy and energy are: H = kj and E = kj. Does the volume ncrease, decrease or reman the same? Soluton: We know that E = H + w = H - p V p V = H - E p V < 0 But the pressure s constant and p > 0. Therefore V < 0. V = V f V < 0 V f < V.e. the volume decreased 44. (4 pts) Consder the followng numbered processes: 1. A 2B H 1 2. B C + D H 2 3. E 2D H 3 H for the process A 2C + E s: A. H 1 + H 2 + H 3 B. H 1 + H 2 C. H 1 + H 2 H 3 D. H H 2 H 3 E. H H 2 + H 3 Soluton: In order to arrve at the equaton A 2C + E, we need to retan (1), multply (2) by a factor of 2, and reverse (3). Thus, H = H H 2 H 3, whch corresponds to answer (D).

6 PART IV: CALCULATION PROBLEMS (Show your work n ts entrety. Do not provde just a sngle number!). 45. (6 pts) When g of KNO 3 was dssolved n water n a calormeter, the temperature fell from o C to o C. The heat capacty of the calormeter s 682 J/ o C. Wrte the complete thermochemcal equaton for the process: KNO 3 (s) K + (aq) + NO 3 - (aq) Soluton: It s based on the fact that q soln = - q cal q cal = (heat capacty) calormeter x T = C x T = 682 J/ o C ( o C) = 682 x ( o C) = J Therefore q soln = J Ths s the amount of heat absorbed by dssolvng g x 1 mol/ g = mol of KNO 3 Per mole: 7407 J/ mol KNO 3 = J/1 mol KNO 3 = kj/1 mol KNO 3 KNO 3 (s) K + (aq) + NO 3 - (aq) H o = kj 46. (6 pts) Determne the enthalpy change for the process: C 2 H 4 (g) + 6 HCl (g) 2 CHCl 3 (g) + 4 H 2 (g) usng the nformaton gven below: 2 C (s) + 2 H 2 (g) C 2 H 4 (g) H = 52.3 kj H 2 (g) + Cl 2 (g) 2 HCl (g) H = kj C (s) + ½ H 2 (g) + 3/2 Cl 2 (g) CHCl 3 (g) H = kj Soluton: We begn by dentfyng reactants and products n the equaton n queston and also where they appear n the set of equatons. The followng changes/manpulatons are necessary: Equaton 1: Reverse: C 2 H 4 (g) 2 C (s) + 2 H 2 (g) H o = kj Equaton 2: Reverse and multply by 3: 6 HCl (g) 3 H 2 (g) + 3 Cl 2 (g) H o = kj Equaton 3: Multply by 2: 2 C (s) + H 2 (g) + 3 Cl 2 (g) 2 CHCl 3 (g) H o = kj Inspecton now shows that addng the three new equatons gves precsely the process under study. Therefore the summng of the enthalpy changes must gve us the enthalpy change for the above process: H o = = kj 47. (3 pts) BONUS PROBLEM (In order to receve credt, you have to solve the problem completely!). A mxture was made form the followng: 25.0 g of water at 15.0 o C, 45.0 g of water at 50.0 o C, and 15.0 g of water at 37.0 o C. What s the fnal temperature of the mxture? Soluton: It s based on the fact that: q 1 + q 2 + q 3 = 0, due to the law of conservaton of energy c x m 1 x ( T) 1 + c x m 2 x ( T) 2 + c x m 3 x ( T) 3 = 0 m 1 x ( T) 1 + m 2 x ( T) 2 + m 3 x ( T) 3 = 0

7 m 1 x (T f T 1 ) + m 2 x (T f T 2 ) + m 3 x (T f T 3 ) = 0 (m 1 + m 2 + m 3 ) x T f = m 1 x T 1 + m 2 x T 2 + m 3 x T 3 T f = (m 1 x T 1 + m 2 x T 2 + m 3 x T 3 ) / (m 1 + m 2 + m 3 ) T f = (25.0 x x x 37.0) / ( ) = 37.4 o C T f = 37.4 o C
