1-The air in an inflated balloon (defined as the system) is warmed over a toaster and absorbs 130J of heat. As it expands, it does 76kJ of work. What is the change in internal energy for the system?
Answer:
ΔE=q+w
Anything absorbed is + and any SYSTEM doing work is - .
130J + - 76000J= -7.587 x 10 ^ 4.

2-A piston has an external pressure of 8.00 atm How much work has been done in joules if the cylinder goes from a volume of 0.140 liters to 0.450 liters.
Answer:
(0.450 - 0.140) x 8.0=2.48 J

3-A volume of 105mL of H 2 O is initially at room temperature (22.0 ∘ C ). A chilled steel rod at 2.00 ∘ C is placed in the water. If the final temperature of the system is 21.3 ∘ C , what is the mass of the steel bar?

Use the following values:
specific heat of water = 4.18 J/(g⋅ ∘ C)
specific heat of steel = 0.452 J/(g⋅ ∘ C)

Answer:
105 x 4.18 x 22 + MS x .452 x 2 = 105 x 4.18 x 21.3 + MS x .452 x 21.3
MS = mass of steel
Solve for MS.

energy gained by the steel = the energy given up by the water
MS x .452 x [21.3 -2] = 105 x 4.18 x [22 - 21.3]
mass of steel = 35.22 g

4-The specific heat of water is 4.18 J/(g⋅ ∘ C) . Calculate the molar heat capacity of water.
Answer:
specific heat of water is 4.18 J/g-K
mole of water = 1802 g

molar heat capacity = (4.18 ...
