(a) What is meant by the term system in thermodynamics? (b) What is a closed system?
From the following data for three prospective fuels, calculate which could provide the most energy per unit volume: $$ \begin{array}{lcc} \hline & \begin{array}{c} \text { Density } \\ \text { at } 20{ }^{\circ} \mathbf{C} \\ \left(\mathrm{g} / \mathrm{cm}^{3}\right) \end{array} & \begin{array}{c} \text { Molar Enthalpy } \\ \text { of Combustion } \\ \text { Fuel } \end{array} & \mathrm{kJ} / \mathrm{mol} \\ \hline \text { Nitroethane, } \mathrm{C}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{5} \mathrm{NO}_{2}(l) & 1.052 & -1368 \\ \text { Ethanol, } \mathrm{C}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{5} \mathrm{OH}(l) & 0.789 & -1367 \\ \text { Methylhydrazine, } \mathrm{CH}_{6} \mathrm{~N}_{2}(I) & 0.874 & -1305 \\\ \hline \end{array} $$
When a 9.55-g sample of solid sodium hydroxide dissolves in \(100.0 \mathrm{~g}\) of water in a coffee-cup calorimeter (Figure 5.17), the temperature rises from \(23.6^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) to \(47.4^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\). Calculate \(\Delta H\) (in \(\mathrm{kJ} / \mathrm{mol} \mathrm{NaOH}\) ) for the solution process $$ \mathrm{NaOH}(s) \stackrel{-\cdots}{\mathrm{Na}}^{+}(a q)+\mathrm{OH}^{-}(a q) $$ Assume that the specific heat of the solution is the same as that of pure water.
(a) What is meant by the term standard conditions, with reference to enthalpy changes? (b) What is meant by the term enthalpy of formation? (c) What is meant by the term standard enthalpy of formation?
Consider the following reaction: $$ 2 \mathrm{Mg}(s)+\mathrm{O}_{2}(g) \longrightarrow 2 \mathrm{MgO}(s) \quad \Delta H=-1204 \mathrm{~kJ} $$ (a) Is this reaction exothermic or endothermic? (b) Calculate the amount of heat transferred when \(2.4 \mathrm{~g}\) of \(\mathrm{Mg}(\mathrm{s})\) reacts at constant pressure. (c) How many grams of \(\mathrm{MgO}\) are produced during an enthalpy change of \(-96.0 \mathrm{~kJ} ?\) (d) How many kilojoules of heat are absorbed when \(7.50 \mathrm{~g}\) of \(\mathrm{MgO}(s)\) is decomposed into \(\mathrm{Mg}(\mathrm{s})\) and \(\mathrm{O}_{2}(g)\) at constant pressure?
