Assignment

SHOW YOUR SOLUTION. NO SOLUTION, NO POINTS

1. What is the kinetic energy, in J, of (a) an Ar atom moving at a speed of 650 m/s, (b) a mole of Ar atoms
moving at 650 m/s? (Hint: 1 amu = 1.66 x 10-27 kg)

2. Calculate the change in the internal energy for a process in which a system absorbs 140 J of heat from the
surroundings and does 85 J of work on the surroundings.

3. Molten gold poured into a mold solidifies at atmospheric pressure. With the gold defined as the system, is
the solidification an exothermic or endothermic process? Explain why.

4. Hydrogen peroxide can decompose to water and oxygen by the reaction below. Calculate the quantity of
heat released when 5.00 g of H2O2(l) decomposes at constant pressure.

5. (a) Large beds of rocks are used in some solar-heated homes to store heat. Assume that the specific heat of
the rocks is 0.82 J/g*K. Calculate the quantity of heat absorbed by 50.0 kg of rocks if their temperature
increases by 12.0 °C. (b) What temperature change would these rocks undergo if they emitted 450 kJ of
heat?
