Gasoline has an enthalpy of combustion $24000 \mathrm{~kJ} /$ gallon. When gasoline burns in an automobile engine, approximately $30 \%$ of the energy released is used to produce mechanical work. The remainder is lost as heat transfer to the engine's cooling system. As a start on estimating how much heat transfer is required, calculate what mass of water could be heated from $25^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ to $75^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ by the combustion of $1.0$ gallon of gasoline in an automobile? (Given : $\left.\mathrm{C}\left(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}\right)=4.18 \mathrm{~J} / \mathrm{g}^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\right)$
The production of $\mathrm{H}_{2}$ gas by the electrolysis of water typically requires about $400 \mathrm{~kJ}$ of energy per mole. (a) Use the relationship between work and cell potential (Section 21.4 to calculate the minimum work needed to form $1.0 \mathrm{~mol}$ of $\mathrm{H}_{2}$ gas at a cell potential of $1.24 \mathrm{~V}$ (b) What is the energy efficiency of the cell operation? (c) Find the cost of producing 500 . mol of $\mathrm{H}_{2}$ if electricity is 50.06 per kilowatt-hour ( 1 watt-second $=1$ joule).
