A quantity of 2.00 x 102 mL of 0.862 M HCl is mixed with 2.003 x 102 mL
of 0.431 M Ba(OH)2 in a constantpressure calorimeter that has a heat
capacity of 453 J/°C. The initial temperature of the HCl and Ba(OH)2
solutions is the same at 20.48°C. For the following process the heat of
neutralization is 56.2 kJ.

From the data shown below, calculate the enthalpy
change for the following transformation.
S(rhombic) S(monoclinic)
(Monoclinic and rhombic are different allotropic forms
of elemental sulfur.)
S(rhombic) + O2(g) SO2(g) ΔH°rxn = 296.06 kJ
S(monoclinic) + O2(g) SO2(g) ΔH°rxn = 296.36 kJ

Calculate the heat of decomposition for this process at constant pressure
and 25°C. (Look up the standard enthalpy of formation of the reactant and
products in Table 6.4 and appendix; ΔH°f(BaCO3(s)) = 1218.8 kJ/mol, ΔH
f (BaO(s)) = 558.2 kJ/mol and ΔH°f (Na2CO3(s)) = 1130.9 kJ/mol, ΔH°f
(Na2O(s)) = 415.89 kJ/mol.)

A sheet of gold weighing 10.0 g and at a temperature of
18.0°C is placed flat on a sheet of iron weighing 20.0 g
and at a temperature of 55.6°C. What is the final
temperature of the combined metals? Assume that no
heat is lost to the surroundings. (Hint: The heat gained
by the gold must be equal to the heat lost by the iron.)
