In writing thermochemical equations, why is it important to indicate the physical state (that is, gaseous, liquid, solid, or aqueous) of each substance?
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.
State Hess's law. Explain, with one example, the usefulness of Hess's law in thermochemistry.
A 2.10 -mole sample of crystalline acetic acid, initially at \(17.0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\), is allowed to melt at \(17.0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) and is then heated to \(118.1^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) (its normal boiling point) at 1.00 atm. The sample is allowed to vaporize at \(118.1^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) and is then rapidly quenched to \(17.0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\), so that it recrystallizes. Calculate \(\Delta H^{\circ}\) for the total process as described.
Calculate the work done (in joules) when 1.0 mole of water is frozen at \(0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) and \(1.0 \mathrm{~atm} .\) The volumes of one mole of water and ice at \(0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) are \(0.0180 \mathrm{~L}\) and \(0.0196 \mathrm{~L},\) respectively.
