E is the internal energy of a system, i.e., the total energy of all forms of energy in the system. So, E is the change internal energy of the system; q is heat transferred to or from the system, w is work done on or by the system. The sign convention is that q and w are positive when the system gains energy; i.e., heat transferred to the system, or work done on the system, are both positive.

a. Explain fully what is meant by the term "state function." b. (i) Give two examples of thermodynamic quantities which state functions. (ii) Give two examples of thermodynamic quantities which are not state functions.

A common laboratory reaction is the neutralization of an acid with a base. When 50.0 mL of 0.500 M HCl at 25.0°C is added to 50.0 mL of 0.500 M NaOH at 25.0°C in a coffee cup calorimeter, the temperature of the mixture rises to 28.2°C. What is the heat of reaction per mole of acid? Assume the mixture has a specific heat capacity of 4.18 J/(g·K) and that the densities of the reactant solutions are both 1.00 g/mL.

Stoichiometric amounts of nitrogen gas and hydrogen gas react in a calorimeter to produce 5.00 g of ammonia gas. The calorimeter temperature rises 0.42°C. The calorimeter and water have a combined heat capacity of 32.16 kJ/K. Calculate the heat of formation of ammonia, Hf°, in kJ/mol. The formation reaction for ammonia is: 0.5N2(g) + 1.5H2(g) NH3(g).

Two solutions (the system), each of 25.0 mL volume and at 25.0°C, are mixed in a beaker. A reaction occurs between them, and the temperature rises to 35.0°C. After the products have equilibrated with the surroundings, the temperature is again 25.0°C and the total volume is 50.0 mL. No gases are involved in the reaction. Which one of the following relationships concerning the change from initial to final states (both at 25.0°C) is correct?

A backpacker collects snow at 0°C, and places it in a cooking pot on a camp stove. It takes 643 kJ of heat energy to melt the snow and bring the water to boiling. Assuming no heat loss, and neglecting the specific heat capacity of the pot, calculate the mass of snow that the backpacker collected. (Data: specific heat capacity of liquid water, c = 4.18 J/gK; and: H2O(s) H2O(l) H = Hfusion = 6.02 kJ/mol)
