5. A 15.0 g sample of nickel metal is heated to 100.°C and dropped into 55.0 g of water,

initially at 23.0°C. Assuming that all of the heat lost by the nickel is absorbed by the

water, calculate the final temperature of the nickel and the water. The specific heat of

nickel is 0.444J/g°C)

6. Given the following data:

Explanation / Answer

1. B2H6(g) + 3O2(g) ---> B2O3(s) + 3H2O(g) H = -2035 kJ

This means 2035 kJ of energy is released when 1 mole of B2H6 gas is reacted with oxygen.

Lets convert 1g of B2H6 into moles

Number of moles = weight/molecular weight = 1/27.67 =0.036 moles

Energy released = 0.036 * 2035 = 73.55 kJ

2) As mentioned above, according to given equation  2035 kJ of energy is released when 1 mole of B2H6 gas is burned.

3) Energy released = number moles* 2035 kJ =100 * 2035 kJ= 203500 kJ=2035 X 102 kJ

4) A mixture of 10.0 g B2H6 and 10.0 g O2

10 g of B2H6= 10/27.67 =0.362 moles

10.0 g O2 = 10/32 =0.3125 moles

According given equation the molar ratio between B2H6 and O2 is 1:3.

So, here O2 is a limiting agent and 0.362/3 = 0.120 moles of B2H6 will undergo combustion.

Energy released = number moles* 2035 kJ = 0.120 * 2035 kJ = 245.56 kJ
