Imagine a book that is falling from a shelf. At a particular moment during its fall, the book has a kinetic energy of 24 J and a potential energy with respect to the floor of 47 J. (a) How do the books kinetic energy and its potential energy change as it continues to fall? (b) What was the initial potential energy of the book, and what is its total kinetic energy at the instant just before it strikes the floor? (c) If a heavier book fell from the same shelf, would it have the same kinetic energy when it strikes the floor? [Section 5.1]

Problem 74E
Enthalpies of Formation (Section)
Using values from Appendix C, calculate the value of AH° for each of the following reactions:
(a) CaO(s) + 2 HCI(g) -> CaCI2(s) + H20(g)
(b) 4 FeO(s) + 02(g) -> 2 Fe203(s)
(c) 2 CuO(s) + NO(g) -+ Cu20(s) + N02(g)
(d) 4 NH3(g) + 02(g) -+ 2 N2H4(g) + 2 H20(/)
Solution
The first step in solving 5 problem number trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Problem 74EEnthalpies of Formation (Section)Using values from Appendix C, calculate the value of AH° for each of the following reactions:(a) CaO(s) + 2 HCI(g) -> CaCI2(s) + H20(g)(b) 4 FeO(s) + 02(g) -> 2 Fe203(s)(c) 2 CuO(s) + NO(g) -+ Cu20(s) + N02(g)(d) 4 NH3(g) + 02(g) -+ 2 N2H4(g) + 2 H20(/)
From the textbook chapter Thermochemistry you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
