Chapter 5: Q36E (page 227)

A pint of premium ice cream can contain 1100 Calories. What mass of fat, in grams and pounds, must be produced in the body to store an extra 1.1 × 103 Calories if the average number of Calories for fat is 9.1 Calories/g?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The body must produce 120.87 g of fat to store 1100 calories. In pounds, its value is 0.266 pounds.

Step by step solution

01

Given data

Data we are provided with:

It is given that 1 pint of premium ice cream contains 1100 calories.

The average number of calories for fat is 9.1 calories/g.

02

Amount of fat

The mass of fat required to be produced is calculated as:

Mass Of fat = 1100 cal/9.1cal/g

= 120.87 gm

1 grams = 0.00220462 pounds

120.87 grams = 0.266 pounds

How much heat is produced when 1.25 g of chromium metal reacts with oxygen gas under standard conditions?

The temperature of the cooling water as it leaves the hot engine of an automobile is 240°F. After it passes through the radiator it has a temperature of 175°F. Calculate the amount of heat transferred from the engine to the surroundings by one gallon of water with a specific heat of 4.184 J/g°C.

The reaction of 50ml of acid and 50ml of base described in example 5.5 increased the temperature of the solution by 6.9 degrees. How much would the temperature have increased if 100ml of acid and 100ml base had been used in the same calorimeter starting at the same temperature of 22˚C? Explain your answer.

Question: How much heat, in joules and in calories, is required to heat a 28.4-g (1-oz) ice cube from −23.0 °C to −1.0 °C?

Propane, \({{\bf{C}}_{\bf{3}}}{{\bf{H}}_{\bf{8}}}\), is a hydrocarbon that is commonly used as a fuel.

(a) Write a balanced equation for the complete combustion of propane gas.

(b) Calculate the volume of air at 25 °C and 1.00 atmosphere that is needed to completely combust 25.0 grams of propane. Assume that air is 21.0 percent O2 by volume. (Hint: we will see how to do this calculation in a later

chapter on gases—for now use the information that 1.00 L of air at 25 °C and 1.00 atm contains 0.275 g of O2 per liter.)

(c) The heat of combustion of propane is −2,219.2 kJ/mol. Calculate the heat of formation,ΔHf °of propane given thatΔHf °of H2O(l) = −285.8 kJ/mol andΔHf °of CO2(g) = −393.5 kJ/mol.

(d) Assuming that all of the heat released in burning 25.0 grams of propane is transferred to 4.00 kilograms of water, calculate the increase in temperature of the water.
