When 1.045 g of BaO is added to 100.0 ml of water at 22.0 oC in a coffee-cup calorimeter, the temperature of the water increases to 25.7 oC. Assume that the specific heat and density of the solution is 4.184 J/g∙oC and 1.00g/ml, respectively. The heat capacity of the calorimeter is 25.0 J/oC. Calculate ΔH for the reaction. BaO(s) + H2O(l) → Ba(OH)2(aq); ΔH = __________

Air bags are activated when a severe impact causes a steel ball to compress a spring and electrically ignite a detonator cap. This causes sodium azide (NaN3) to decompose explosively according to the following reaction: 2NaN3(s) ® 2Na(s) + 3N2(g) What mass of NaN3(s) must be reacted in order to inflate an air bag to 75.0 l at STP?
