A typical car engine produces 44,000 kJ of heat in an hour. The cooling system has a capacity of 8.40 L and is filled with a 50:50 mixture of anti-freeze (specific heat capacity of 8.37 J/g-oC, density of 1.038 g/mL). In maintaining a constant engine temperature, the cooling system temperature increased from 95oC to 110oC. (Assume this is within allowable limits.) How many times did the cooling system turn over its volume of anti-freeze to maintain the engine temperature during its hour of operation

2h2o2--> 2h2o + o2

this reaction is of the spontaneous decomposition of hydrogen peroxide down into water and oxygen.

add 2 molecules of hydrogen peroxide and 2 molecules of water. since oxygen is naturally diatomic, the total number of atoms of each element is now the same on both sides of the equation so it is balanced.

this may not be entirely correct but let me know.

it means there are 3 atoms of oxygen

answer : third trial had the contaminated sample and the correct value for dhrxn should be 1000 kj/mol

explanation :

let us write down the given equations

equation 1 :

equation 2 :

equation 3 :

let us use hess's law to find out which 2 equations can be added to get the third equation.

let us reverse equation 2 and multiply it by 2. the new equation that we get is,

equation 4 :

let us add equation 1 & 4

the above equation is similar to equation 3 but has different value for dhrxn.

therefore third trial had the contaminated sample and the correct value for dhrxn should be 1000 kj/mol
