The decomposition of 10 g ammonia produces hydrogen and nitrogen gases and releases 6300 cal of energy.How much energy is required to form 10g of ammonia from a mixture of hydrogen and nitrogen gases?

The decomposition of 10g of ammonia releases 6300 cal of energy. To form 10g of ammonia from hydrogen and nitrogen gases would require the same amount of energy, 6300 cal, but in the reverse process.


What will be the final temperature if 1600 cal of heat is given to an ice block of mass 20 grams?

I must assume that the ice block is at an initial temperature of 0o C. I also need to work in joules,. so I will convert the calories to joules. 1600 cal. (4.184 joule/1 cal.) = 6694.4 joules -------------------- 6694.4 J = (20 grams H2O)(4.180 J/gC)(Tf - 0o C) 6694.4/83.6 = Tf = 80o Celsius ==========


What is the specific heat capacity of copper II sulfate pentahydrate in joules per gram Celsius?

According to Perrys Chemical Engineers Handbook 62.7 cal/(ºC.mol) @ 282K (~8.85ºC) which converts to 1.05 J/(ºC.g) conversion: 4.184 J/cal 294.691 g/mol


What is the number of calories given off by 500 grams of water cooling from 50 degrees Celsius to 20 degrees Celsius?

The heat of fusion (aka enthalpy of fusion) of ice at 0 °C is about 79.72 cal/g. The specific heat of water in the range from 30 °C to 0 °C is about 1 cal/g/°C. The total energy that must be removed is thus: 20.0 g x[(0-30)°C x 1 cal/g/°C - 79.72 cal/g] = -2184 cal in other words you must remove 2184 cal to take 20.0 g of water from liquid at 30 30 °C to solid (ice) at 0 °C.
