can anyone help me with an online quiz? its all on thermochemistry basics? PLEASE HELP

OpenStudy (aaronq):

are we supposed to guess what these questions you have are?

OpenStudy (anikate):

hey sorry I was looking for osmeone to be online

OpenStudy (anikate):

anyone online to help? @aaronq

OpenStudy (anikate):

I have 40 mins to take the quiz and it is 25 questions @aaronq

OpenStudy (anikate):

aaron are you good with thermochemistry?

OpenStudy (aaronq):

i can help you work through them by giving you hints and explanations, but can't give you direct answers (or any answers at all)

OpenStudy (anikate):

I havent studied well for it yet and it is timed for 40 minutes, its an online quiz...... so help would be great..

OpenStudy (aaronq):

you should wait then and study a bit more. no point of taking it without studying, right?

OpenStudy (anikate):

yea, can you help me in explaining some question to me? for studying I have practice problems

OpenStudy (aaronq):

sure thing

OpenStudy (anikate):

are you familiar with 5 step problems?

OpenStudy (anikate):

calculate the energy invovled when 6g of -5C ice changes to steam at 110C

OpenStudy (aaronq):

Okay, so this involves 5 calculations. |dw:1431883433330:dw| this is the temperature/heat curve for the process. you need to use two general equations 1. \(q=m*C_p*\Delta T\) 2. \(q=m*H_{fusion~or~vaporization}\) then add all these heat values together

OpenStudy (aaronq):

|dw:1431883672006:dw| Use the necessary specific heat capacities and enthalpies of fusion/vap

OpenStudy (anikate):

yes I'm familiar with those equations and graph and I'm not 100% confident with understanding that graph, out teacher explained in class, but I wasn't smrt enough to understand what she was saying about it

OpenStudy (aaronq):

Whenever there is a change in temperature you use the first equation, and when there is not change in temperature (that is a change in phase only) you use the second.

OpenStudy (anikate):

whats the difference between temp change and phase change? @aaronq

OpenStudy (aaronq):

in the first youre changing the temperature of the matter (e.g. ice warming up, water warming up) and the phase change youre changing the physical state of the matter (solid to liquid, liquid to gas).

OpenStudy (anikate):

oh ok go ahead @aaronq

OpenStudy (aaronq):

with?

OpenStudy (anikate):

the problem

OpenStudy (aaronq):

i just did..

OpenStudy (anikate):

lemme post again

OpenStudy (anikate):

calculate the nergy involved when 6.0 grams of -5C ice changes to steam at 110C

OpenStudy (anikate):

the C are degree celcius

OpenStudy (aaronq):

yeah and i just explained how to do it

OpenStudy (anikate):

oh, can you explain with numbers and calculations?

OpenStudy (aaronq):

how about you try the first step, then i'll tell you if you're doing it right?

OpenStudy (aaronq):

all the information is on the graph i drew

OpenStudy (anikate):

ok how do I know where to start and where to end?

OpenStudy (aaronq):

all the information is on the graph i drew

OpenStudy (anikate):

working on it

OpenStudy (aaronq):

so for the first step, the change is from -5 to 0.

OpenStudy (anikate):

yup using the first equation

OpenStudy (aaronq):

and the specific heat capacity of ice, right?

OpenStudy (aaronq):

make sure to post your work here, not just the answer
