Practice Questions

CHEM 201
When 3.12 g of glucose, C6H12O6, is burned
in a bomb calorimeter, the temperature of the
calorimeter increases from 23.8 °C to 35.6
°C. The calorimeter contains 775 g of water,
and the bomb itself has a heat capacity of
893 J/°C. How much heat was produced by
the combustion of the glucose sample?

2
When solid ammonium nitrate
dissolves in water, the solution
becomes cold. This is the basis
for an “instant ice pack”. When
3.21 g of solid NH4NO3 dissolves
in 50.0 g of water at 24.9°C in a
calorimeter, the temperature
decreases to 20.3 °C. Calculate
the value of q for this reaction
and explain the meaning of its
arithmetic sign. State any
assumptions that you made.

3
When 50.0 mL of 0.10 M HCl(aq) and 50.0 mL of 0.10
M NaOH(aq), both at 22.0 °C, are added to a coffee
cup calorimeter, the temperature of the mixture
reaches a maximum of 28.9 °C. What is the
approximate amount of heat produced by this
reaction?
HCl(aq) + NaOH(aq) ⟶ NaCl(aq) + H2O(l)

4
A 59.7 g piece of metal that had been
submerged in boiling water was quickly
transferred into 60.0 mL of water initially
at 22.0 °C. The final temperature is 28.5
°C. Use these data to determine the
specific heat of the metal. Use this result
to identify the metal.
5
A 360-g piece of rebar (a steel rod used for
reinforcing concrete) is dropped into 425 mL of
water at 24.0 °C. The final temperature of the water
was measured as 42.7 °C. Calculate the initial
temperature of the piece of rebar. Assume the
specific heat of steel is approximately the same as
that for iron (0.451 J/g.K), and that all heat transfer
occurs between the rebar and the water (there is no
heat exchange with the surroundings).

6
A piece of unknown metal weighs 348 g.
When the metal piece absorbs 6.64 kJ
of heat, its temperature increases from
22.4 °C to 43.6 °C. Determine the
specific heat of this metal (which might
provide a clue to its identity).

7
A flask containing 8.0 ×
10 2g of
water is heated, and the
temperature of the water
increases from 21 °C to 85 °C.
How much heat did the water
absorb?

When 10 grams of methane (CH₄) is
burned completely in oxygen, it releases
890 kJ of energy. Calculate the amount
of heat released when 25 grams of
methane undergoes combustion.

11
If an endothermic reaction absorbs 150 kJ of
energy and the reaction takes place in a 2-
liter container of water with a specific heat
capacity of 4.18 J/g°C, how much will the
temperature of the water increase if the mass
of the water is 2000 grams?

12
For the endothermic decomposition of
calcium carbonate (CaCO₃), the reaction
requires 178 kJ of energy to decompose
50 grams of CaCO₃. Calculate the
amount of energy needed to decompose
100 grams of CaCO₃.

13
You have a reaction where the enthalpy
change (ΔH) is +56 kJ/mol. Is this
reaction endothermic or exothermic?
How much energy is absorbed or
released when 2 moles of the reactant
undergo the reaction?
