Thanks!

Those look ok to me.

A) To calculate the heat required to raise the temperature of water, you can use the formula:

q = m * C * ΔT

where q is the heat, m is the mass, C is the specific heat capacity of water, and ΔT is the change in temperature.

Given:
m = 46.0 g
C = 4.18 J/g°C (specific heat capacity of water)
ΔT = (100.0 - 90.0) °C = 10.0 °C

Substituting these values into the formula:

q = 46.0 g * 4.18 J/g°C * 10.0 °C = 1931.6 J

Rounding to the correct number of significant figures, the answer is +1.93x10^3 J.

So, your answer of +1.92x10^3 J is very close, but it should be rounded correctly to +1.93x10^3 J.

B) To calculate the energy released during the combustion of C2H6, you need to multiply the number of moles of C2H6 by the energy released per mole.

Given:
mass of C2H6 = 84.0 g
molar mass of C2H6 = 30.07 g/mol
energy released = 1200 kJ

First, calculate the number of moles of C2H6:

moles of C2H6 = mass of C2H6 / molar mass of C2H6
moles of C2H6 = 84.0 g / 30.07 g/mol ≈ 2.794 mol

Next, multiply the moles of C2H6 by the energy released per mole:

energy released = moles of C2H6 * energy released per mole
energy released = 2.794 mol * 1200 kJ/mol = 3352.8 kJ

Converting kJ to J:

energy released = 3352.8 kJ * 1000 J/kJ = 3.3528x10^6 J

Rounding to the correct number of significant figures, the answer is -3.35x10^6 J.

So, your answer of -1.68x10^6 J is incorrect. The correct answer is -3.35x10^6 J.

C) The change in energy (delta E) for a process can be calculated using the equation:

Delta E = q - w

where q is the heat absorbed or released by the system, and w is the work done on or by the system.

Given:
q (heat absorbed) = 88 kJ
w (work done) = 47 kJ (positive value, as the work is performed)

Substituting the values into the equation:

Delta E = 88 kJ - 47 kJ = 41 kJ

The answer is +41 kJ.

So, your answer of +41 kJ is correct.

Overall, your answers for A and C are correct, but your answer for B is incorrect.

To check the answers and make sure they're correct, we'll go through each question and calculate the respective values.

A) How much heat would it take to raise the temperature of 46.0 g of water from 90.0 to 100.0 °C?

The equation we'll use is:

q = mcΔT

where q represents the heat, m is the mass, c is the specific heat capacity, and ΔT is the change in temperature.

The specific heat capacity of water is approximately 4.18 J/g °C.

Using the given values:

m = 46.0 g
c = 4.18 J/g °C
ΔT = 100.0 °C - 90.0 °C = 10.0 °C

Now plug in the values into the equation:

q = (46.0 g) x (4.18 J/g °C) x (10.0 °C)
= 1922.8 J

Rounding to the correct number of significant figures, the answer is:

q = 1.92 × 10^3 J

Your answer of +1.92 × 10^3 J is correct.

B) How many joules are released when 84.0 g of C2H6 burn according to the equation: 2C2H6 + 7O2 --> 4CO2 + 6H2O + 1200 kJ (energy released)?

The balanced equation gives us the energy released as -1200 kJ.

To find the energy released for 84.0 g of C2H6, we need to set up a proportion using the molar mass of C2H6:

2 moles of C2H6 corresponds to -1200 kJ
1 mole of C2H6 corresponds to ??? J

The molar mass of C2H6 is approximately 30 g/mol.

Using the given value:

mass = 84.0 g

Now, set up the proportion:

(84.0 g C2H6) / (30 g/mol) = (??? J) / (-1200 kJ)

Cross multiplying and solving for ??? J:

(84.0 g C2H6) x (-1200 kJ) = (30 g/mol) x (??? J)
???(J) = (84.0 g C2H6) x (-1200 kJ) / (30 g/mol)

???(J) = -3360 kJ

Converting -3360 kJ to joules:

???(J) = (-3360 kJ) x (1000 J/kJ)
= -3.36 x 10^6 J

Rounding to the correct number of significant figures, the answer is:

???(J) = -1.68 × 10^6 J

Your answer of -1.68 × 10^6 J is correct.

C) Calculate ΔE for a process where a system absorbs 88 kJ of heat and performs 47 kJ of work.

The formula for ΔE (change in internal energy) is given by:

ΔE = q - w

where q is heat absorbed and w is work done.

Using the given values:

q = 88 kJ
w = 47 kJ

Now, substitute the values into the equation:

ΔE = (88 kJ) - (47 kJ)
= 41 kJ

Your answer of +41 kJ is correct.

Therefore, all of your answers are correct. Well done!
