112. Refer to the discussion of the gasification of coal (page 283), and show that some of the heat
required in the gasification reactions (equations 7.26 and 7.27) can be supplied by the
methanation reaction. This fact contributes to the success of modern processes that produce
synthetic natural gas (SNG).

114. Several factors are involved in determining the cooking times required for foods in a
microwave oven. One of these factors is specific heat capacity. Determine the approximate
time required to warm 250 mL of chicken broth from
(a typical refrigerator temperature)
to
in a 700 W microwave oven. Assume that the density of chicken broth is about
and that its specific heat capacity is approximately
115. Suppose you have a setup similar to the one depicted in Figure 7-8 except that there are two
different weights rather than two equal weights. One weight is a steel cylinder 10.00 cm in
diameter and 25 cm long, the other weight produces a pressure of 745 Torr. The temperature
of the gas in the cylinder in which the expansion takes place is
The -piston
restraining the gas has a diameter of 12.00 cm, and the height of the piston above the base of
the gas expansion cylinder is 8.10 cm. The density of the steel is
How much
work is done when the steel cylinder is suddenly removed from the piston?
116. When one mole of sodium carbonate decahydrate (washing soda) is gently warmed, 155.3 kJ
of heat is absorbed, water vapor is formed, and sodium carbonate heptahydrate remains. On
more vigorous heating, the heptahydrate absorbs 320.1 kJ of heat and loses more water vapor
to give the monohydrate. Continued heating gives the anhydrous salt (soda ash) while 57.3 kJ
of heat is absorbed. Calculate
for the conversion of one mole of washing soda into soda
ash. Estimate
for this process. Why is the value of
only an estimate?
