### Practice Problem

I came across this practice problem and I'm not sure how to do it. Some help would be great!

How many grams of water can be heated from 25.0 celsius to 100 celsius by the heat released from converting 49.7 g of PbO to Pb?
The converting reaction is: PbO(s) + C(s) yields Pb(s) + CO(g) delta H = -106.9 kJ

### Re: Practice Problem

From the reaction, delta H = -106.9 kJ is per mole of PbO. You need to first find the number of moles of 49.7g PbO and then multiply that number by deltaH to get the total heat supplied to the water. Then you divide that amount of heat by the specific heat capacity of water (4.18J/g*°C) and deltaT (100 celsius - 25 celsius) to get how many grams of water can be heated. The basic equation is q = Csp*m*deltaT

I'm not sure where you got this problem from, but I just did it through and wanted to check my answers to see if it was correct. I got 75.84 g H2O.

My work is as follows:
$49.7g PbO \cdot \frac{1 mol PbO}{223.2 g PbO}\cdot \frac{106.9 kJ}{1 mol PbO}=23.8 kJ$
$q=mc\Delta T$
$-23,800J=m(4.184 J/gC)(75C)$
$m=75.84 g H2O$
