1). Nitromethane (CH3NO2) burns in air to produce significant amounts of heat. 2CH3NO2(l)+3/2O2(g)→2CO2(g)+3H2O(g)+N2(g) ΔH∘rxn=−1418kJ How much heat is produced by the complete reaction of 6.91 kg of nitromethane?
2). The air within a cylinder equipped with a piston absorbs 529 J of heat and expands from an initial volume of 0.10 L to a final volume of 0.87 Against an external pressure of 1.0 atm. What is the change in internal energy of the air within the cylinder?
3). The propane fuel (C3H8) used in gas barbeques burns according to this thermochemical equation. C3H8(g)+5O2(g)→3CO2(g)+4H2O(g)ΔH∘rxn=−2044kJ If a pork roast must absorb 1.7×103 kJ to fully cook, and if only 13 % of the heat produced by the barbeque is actually absorbed by the roast, what mass of CO2 is emitted into the atmosphere during the grilling of the pork roast?
4). How much heat is required to warm 1.40 L of water from 20.0 ∘C to 100.0∘C? (Assume a density of 1.0g/mL for the water.)
