(a)
Interpretation:
The energy resources in joules used by the petroleum and coal products industries in one year have to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
The strength or the vitality required for any type of physical or chemical task is referred to as energy. The S.I. unit of energy is joules. It is also measured in British Thermal Unit, which is abbreviated as BTU. The amount of energy which is needed to increase the temperature of one pound of water by

Chemistry: The Molecular Science
- A piece of chocolate cake contains about 400 calories. A nutritional calorie is equal to 1000 calories (thermochemical calories), which is equal to 4.184 kJ. How many 8-in-high steps must a 180-lb man climb to expend the 400 Cal from the piece of cake? See Exercise 28 for the formula for potential energy.arrow_forwardConsider the following reaction in the vessel described in Question 57. A(g)+B(g)C(s)For this reaction, E=286 J, the piston moves up and the system absorbs 388 J of heat from its surroundings. (a) Is work done by the system? (b) How much work?arrow_forward9.30 For the example of shallow water and sandy beaches, which material has a larger heat capacity or specific heat? How does a hot day at the beach provide evidence for your answer?arrow_forward
- The temperature of the cooling water as it leaves the hot engine of an automobile is 240 F. After it passes through the radiator it has a temperature of 175 F. Calculate the amount of heat transferred from the engine to the surroundings by one gallon of water with a specific heat of 4.184 J/g oC.arrow_forwardNiagara Falls has a height of 167 ft (American Falls). What is the potential energy in joules of 1.00 lb of water at the top of the falls if we take water at the bottom to have a potential energy of zero? What would be the speed of this water at the bottom of the falls if we neglect friction during the descent of the water?arrow_forward9.31 A metal radiator is made from 26.0 kg of iron. The specific heat of iron is 0.449Jg1C1 . How much heat must be supplied to the radiator to raise its temperature from 25.0 to 5 5.0°C?arrow_forward
- As the gas trapped in a cylinder with a movable piston cools, 1.34 kJ of work is done on the gas by the surroundings. If the gas is at a constant pressure of 1.33 105 Pa, what is the change of volume (in L) of the gas?arrow_forwardWater gas, a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen, is produced by treating carbon (in the form of coke or coal) with steam at high temperatures. (See Study Question 83.) C(s) + H2O(g) CO(g) + H2(g) Not all of the carbon available is converted to water gas since some is burned to provide the heat for the endothermic reaction of carbon and water. What mass of carbon must be burned (to CO2 gas) to provide the energy to convert 1.00 kg of carbon to water gas?arrow_forwardIn a bomb calorimeter, the reaction vessel is surrounded by water that must be added for each experiment. Since the amount of water is not constant from experiment to experiment, the mass of water must be measured in each case. The heat capacity of the calorimeter is broken down into two parts: the water and the calorimeter components. If a calorimeter contains 1.00 kg water and has a total heat capacity of 10.84 kJ/C, what is the heat capacity of the calorimeter components?arrow_forward
