converted to steam at 100oC? Give answer in kilojoules.
Q=mHv
56.8g(2260) = 128368J = 128.368kJ
4. How much heat is required to raise the temperature of 132.0 grams of chloroform
from 58oC to 89oC? The specific heat of chloroform is 0.96 J/g oC.
Q= mCT
132.0 g(0.96)(31) = 3928.32
5. How much heat in joules is required to raise the temperature of 34.0 grams of
liquid water from 10 oC to 67 oC?
Q= mCT
34.0g (4.18) (57) = 8100.84
6. How many kilojoules are required to melt a 18.0 g popsicle at 0 oC. Assume the
popsicle has the same heat of fusion as water.
Q=mHf
18.0g(334J/g) = 6012J =6.012kJ
7. How much heat is required to convert 34.0 grams of water at 45 oC completely to
steam at 100 oC? (2 steps)
1st step Q= mCT
2nd step Q=mHv
add two together
=34.0(4.18)(55)
=34.0g(2260)
7816.6 + 76840 = 84656.6
= 7816.6J
=76840J
8. How much heat is required to convert 65.0 grams of ice at -5 oC completely to
water at 0 oC? (2 steps)
1st step Q= mCT
C= 2.05 for ice
65 (2.05)(5)
2nd step Q=mHf add two together = 22376.25 J

65(334)
9. How much heat is required to convert 1.0 grams of ice at 0 oC completely to water
at 0 oC?
Q=mHf = 334J
10. How much heat is required to raise the temperature of 1.89 X 102 grams of iron
from 3K to 45K? The specific heat of iron is 0.46 J/g oC.
Q= mCT 189g (.46)(42K) = 3651.48
11. How many grams of ice at 0 oC could be melted by the addition of 1.2 joules of
heat?
Q= mHf 1.2J = m (334) solve for m = .0036gram or 3.6 X10-3
12. How much heat is required to change 2.4 moles of liquid ammonia to gas at its
normal boiling point. The heat of vaporization of ammonia is 23.4 kJ/mol.
Q= mHv
2.4mole X 23.4 kJ/mol = 56.16 kJ
13. How much heat is required to change 4.23 moles of solid oxygen to liquid at its
normal melting point. The heat of fusion of O2 is 0.44 kJ/mol.
4.23 mole X .44 kJ/mol
Q= mHf
= 1.86 kJ
14. How much heat is required to change 35.4 grams of liquid methanol to gas at its
normal boiling point. The heat of vaporization of methanol is 35.3 kJ/mol.
Q= mHf 35.4/32g (mass of methanol) = 1.10 moles X 35.3 kJ/mol = 39.05 kJ
15. How much heat in joules is required to convert 2.5 moles of solid aluminum from
23 oC to 45oC?
Yellow packet specific heat of aluminum
Q= mCT 2.5mol X 27g/mol = 67.5 g (.897j/g oC)(22 oC) = 1332.045 J
16. How much heat in joules is required to convert 1.00 mole of water from 45oC to
18oC? What is happening to the water?
Q= mCT get negative heat, cooling down 18grams(4.18J/g)(27) = 2031 J
17. How much heat is required to convert 8.7 moles of ice at -4 oC completely to
steam at 100 oC? Be careful (more than one step)
8.7 moles X 18g/mol = 156.6 grams H2O
4 steps
Q= mCT
Q= mHf
Q= mCT
Q= mHv
156.6(2.05)(4)
156.6(334) 156.6(4.18)(100)
156.6(2260) =472,963J
