Capitolo 5, Problema 53b
The specific heat of octane, C8H18(l), is 2.22 J•g/K. (b) Which will require more heat, increasing the temperature of 1 mol of C8H18(l), by a certain amount or increasing the temperature of 1 mol of H2O(l) by the same amount?
Guida verificata passo dopo passo1
First, determine the molar mass of octane, C8H18. The molar mass is calculated by adding the atomic masses of all the atoms in the molecule: 8 carbons (C) and 18 hydrogens (H).
Calculate the total heat required to increase the temperature of 1 mol of octane by a certain temperature change, \(\Delta T\). Use the formula: \(q = m \cdot c \cdot \Delta T\), where \(m\) is the mass of the substance, \(c\) is the specific heat, and \(\Delta T\) is the temperature change.
Next, find the specific heat of water, which is typically 4.18 J/g/K. Calculate the total heat required to increase the temperature of 1 mol of water by the same temperature change, \(\Delta T\), using the same heat formula.
Compare the total heat required for octane and water. The substance requiring more heat to achieve the same temperature change will have a higher product of its mass and specific heat.
Conclude which substance, octane or water, requires more heat to increase the temperature by the same amount based on the calculations from the previous steps.

Ecco i concetti essenziali che devi comprendere per rispondere correttamente alla domanda.
Specific Heat Capacity
Specific heat capacity is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one gram of a substance by one degree Celsius (or Kelvin). It is a crucial property that varies between different substances, influencing how much energy is needed to change their temperature. In this question, the specific heat of octane is given, which allows for comparison with water's specific heat to determine which substance requires more heat for the same temperature change.

Heat Capacity
Molar Mass and Moles
Molar mass is the mass of one mole of a substance, typically expressed in grams per mole (g/mol). Understanding moles is essential in chemistry as it allows for the conversion between mass and the number of particles. In this question, both octane and water are considered in terms of moles, which helps in calculating the total heat required for temperature changes based on their specific heat capacities.

Molar Mass Concept
Heat Transfer and Energy Calculations
Heat transfer refers to the movement of thermal energy from one object or substance to another, often quantified using the formula Q = mcΔT, where Q is the heat added, m is the mass, c is the specific heat capacity, and ΔT is the change in temperature. This concept is fundamental in determining how much heat is needed to raise the temperature of a substance, allowing for a direct comparison between octane and water in the context of the question.
