A 0.1375 -g sample of solid magnesium is burned in a constant-volume bomb calorimeter that has a heat capacity of \(3024 \mathrm{~J} /{ }^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\). The temperature increases by \(1.126^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\). Calculate the heat given off by the burning \(\mathrm{Mg}\), in \(\mathrm{kJ} / \mathrm{g}\) and in \(\mathrm{kJ} / \mathrm{mol}\).
Consider two metals A and B, each having a mass of \(100 \mathrm{~g}\) and an initial temperature of \(20^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\). The specific heat of \(A\) is larger than that of \(B\). Under the same heating conditions, which metal would take longer to reach a temperature of \(21^{\circ} \mathrm{C} ?\)
When \(1.034 \mathrm{~g}\) of naphthalene \(\left(\mathrm{C}_{10} \mathrm{H}_{8}\right)\) are burned in a constant-volume bomb calorimeter at \(298 \mathrm{~K}, 41.56 \mathrm{~kJ}\) of heat are evolved. Calculate \(\Delta E\) and \(\Delta H\) for the reaction on a molar basis.
Why are cold, damp air and hot, humid air more uncomfortable than dry air at the same temperatures? (The specific heats of water vapor and air are approximately \(1.9 \mathrm{~J} / \mathrm{g} \cdot{ }^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) and \(1.0 \mathrm{~J} / \mathrm{g} \cdot{ }^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\), respectively.
From these data, $$ \begin{aligned} \mathrm{S}(\text { rhombic })+\mathrm{O}_{2}(g) \longrightarrow \mathrm{SO}_{2}(g) \\ \Delta H_{\mathrm{rxn}}^{\circ} &=-296.06 \mathrm{~kJ} / \mathrm{mol} \\ \mathrm{S}(\text { monoclinic })+\mathrm{O}_{2}(g) & \longrightarrow \mathrm{SO}_{2}(g) \\ \Delta H_{\mathrm{rxn}}^{\circ} &=-296.36 \mathrm{~kJ} / \mathrm{mol} \end{aligned} $$ calculate the enthalpy change for the transformation $$ S \text { (rhombic) } \longrightarrow \mathrm{S} \text { (monoclinic) } $$ (Monoclinic and rhombic are different allotropic forms of elemental sulfur.)
