A chemist carefully measures the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of a 712.5 g sample of a pure substance from 22.1 degrees Celsius to 38.2 degrees Celsius. The experiment shows that 55.7 kJ of heat are formed. Calculate the specific heat capacity of this substance in J/gC. Report your answer with the proper amount of significant figures and no unit.
In the laboratory a student uses a "coffee cup" calorimeter to determine the specific heat of a metal.She heats 19.5 grams of tin to 98.62°C and then drops it into a cup containing 78.8 grams of water at 22.92°C. She measures the final temperature to be 23.89°C.Assuming that all of the heat is transferred to the water, she calculates the specific heat of tin to be ---------- J/g°C.
A student is using a calorimeter to determine the specific heat of a metallic sample. She measures out 128.1 grams of her metal and heats it to 79.6 degrees Celsius. Then, she puts the sample into a calorimeter containing 11.47 grams of water at 45.7 degrees Celsius. She measures the temperature of the water in the calorimeter until the number stops changing, then records the final temperature to be 71.4 degrees Celsius. What is the specific heat of the metal? Please answer to three digits after the decimal point.
A) An iron nail with a mass of 12 gg absorbs 15 J of heat. If the nail was initially at 30 ∘C, what is its final temperature? Express your answer using two significant figures. B) When 47.1 J of heat is added to 13.8 g of a liquid, its temperature rises by 1.74 ∘C. What is the heat capacity of the liquid?
In an experiment, 26.5 g of metal was heated to 98.0°C and then quickly transferred to 150.0 g of water in a calorimeter. The initial temperature of the water was 22.5°C, and the final temperature after the addition of the metal was 32.5°C. Assume the calorimeter behaves ideally and does not absorb or release heat.
Suppose object A has quadruple the specific heat and double the mass of object B. If the same amount of heat is applied to both objects, how will the temperature change of A be related to the temperature change of B? Enter your answer to three significant figures. Temperature change of A = i × (temperature change of B)
