10) A chemical reaction requires 31.39 kJ. How many kilocalories does this correspond to?
31.39kJ x 1 kcal = 7.502
4.184kJ
11) A peanut butter and jelly sandwich contains 9.00 g of fat, 6.00 g of protein, and 25.0 g of
carbohydrate. How many Calories does this sandwich provide?
Fat 9.00g x 9/1g = 81 cal
Carbs 25.00g x 4/1g = 100 cal
Protein 6.00g x 4/1g =24 cal
81 + 100 + 24=
205 Cal
12) Consider the reaction, C2H4(g) + H2(g) → C2H6(g), where ΔH = –137 kJ. How many kilojoules are
released when 3.5 mol of C2H4 reacts?
=3.5 * (137 kJ)
= 479.5kJ
13) Consider the reaction, C2H4(g) + H2(g) → C2H6(g), where ΔH = –137 kJ. How many kilojoules are
released when 55.3 g of C2H4 reacts?
1.971 moles of C2H4 releases 1.971 x 137 = 270kJ
