A swimmer coming out from a pool is covered with a film of water weighing about 80 g. How much heat must be supplied to evaporate this water?
When 1 gm of liquid naphthalene (C10H8) solidifies, 49 joules of heat is evolved. Calculate the enthalpy of fusion of naphthalene.
How many grams of methane and volume of oxygen at N.T.P. would be required to produce 445.15 kJ of heat in the following reaction?
                             Â
                   Â
The thermochemical reaction is,
Step I. Amount of methane required:
890.3 kJ of heat is produced from methane = 16 g
 445.15 kJ of heat is produced from methane
                    Â
Step II. Volume of oxygen required:
890.3 kJ heat is evolved from oxygen = 44.8 litres
 445.15 kJ of heat is evolved from oxygen
