01) Calculate the expansion work done on the system when exactly 1 mol of solid ammonium f f f f f f f f f f f f f f


chloride, NH4Cl, decomposes completely to yield gaseous ammonia, NH3 and hydrogen

chloride, HCl at a temperature of 1250 K. Treat the expansion as irreversible and the gases

formed as perfect.

Feedback: The work done on a system when it expands against a constant pressure is given by f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f


eqn 2A.1a

The decomposition of exactly 1 mol of solid ammonium chloride
f f f f f f f f f



NH4Cl(s)  NH3(g) + HCl(g) yields 2 mol of gas. We may assume that the volume of the solid

ammonium chloride is negligible in comparison with the volume of the gas produced. The

change in volume on decomposition is therefore

02) Calculate the heat transferred to the system when 1.00 mol of a perfect gas expands f f f f f f f f f f f f f f


reversibly at a constant temperature of 25°C so that its volume doubles.
f f f f f f f f f f f f


Feedback: For the isothermal expansion of a perfect gas, eqn 2B.4 shows that the heat transferred
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f


and work done are related by
f f f f f f


𝑞 = −𝑤 f f


and so, using eqn 2A.2 for a reversible expansion, we obtain eqn 2B.5,
f f f f f f f f f f f f


𝑞 = −𝑛𝑅𝑇𝑙𝑛𝑉f/𝑉i f f


For this expansion,
f f


𝑉f/𝑉i = 2 f

so that f

Feedback: Specific heat capacity is defined as the heat capacity per unit mass of sample f f f f f f f f f f f f f f



𝐶s = 𝐶/𝑚 f

and so, f


𝐶s = 𝐶𝑝,m/𝑀 f

For zinc, the molar mass is

𝑀 = 65.37 g mol−1 f f f f


so that

03) The molar heat capacity of solid aluminium is 24.4 J K–1 mol–1 at 25°C. Calculate the

f f f


change in internal energy when 1.00 mol of solid aluminium is heated from a temperature of
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f


20°C to 30°C.
f f f


Feedback: Heat capacity is defined by eqn 2C.4a and so we can write f f f f f f f f f f f f



∆𝑈 = 𝐶𝑉Δ𝑇 f f


For a solid, f f


𝐶𝑝 ≈ 𝐶𝑉 f
f



and so we do not need to worry about the distinction between the heat capacity at constant volume
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f


and pressure. We may also reasonably assume that the heat capacity does not vary over the
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f


range of temperature. A change in temperature from 20 °C to 30 °C means
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f




Δ𝑇 = +10 K f f f


Thus

04) The constant pressure molar heat capacity of ammonia, NH3, has been found to vary with
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f


temperature according to the relation
f f f f f



𝐶𝑝,m / J K−1mol−1 = 𝑎 + 𝑏𝑇 + 𝑐/𝑇2 f
f f f f f f f f



with a = 29.73, b = 25.1  10 K and c = –1.55  105 K2. Calculate the value of the constant

pressure molar heat capacity at 25.0 °C.
f f f f f f f


Feedback: The constant pressure molar heat capacity may be calculated by direct f f f f f f f f f f f


substitution. We must, however, remember to convert the temperature to units of kelvin. Thus
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f


𝑇 = (273.15 + 25.0)K = 298.15 K f f f f f f f


so that f

05) In the calibration step of a thermochemistry experiment, a current of 117 mA, from a
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f


24.0 V source was allowed to flow through the electrical heater for 247 s and was found to result in

an increase in the temperature of the calorimeter and its contents of +1.25 K. Calculate the heat

capacity of the calorimeter and its contents.
f f f f f f f


Feedback: Heat capacity is defined by eqn 2B.1 f f f f f f f


𝐶 = 𝑞/Δ𝑇 f f


For an electrical heater, the amount of heat transferred is given by eqn 2B.3
f f f f f f f f f f f f f

so that, if we combine these two expressions

Feedback: We may calculate the change in enthalpy on heating by rearranging eqn 2B.5 f f f f f f f f f f f f f


Δ𝐻 = 𝐶Δ𝑇 f f


if we know that the heat capacity is constant and does not vary with temperature. We know the
