To treat a burn on his hand, a person decides to place an ice cube on the burned skin. The mass of the ice cube is 15.0 g, and its initial temperature is –11.2 °C. The water resulting from the melted ice reaches the temperature of his skin, 29.2 °C. How much heat is absorbed by the ice cube and resulting water? Assume that all of the water remains in the hand. Constants for water can be found in this table.
In a simple calorimeter, a piece of metal weighing 48.67 g was heated to 120.0 °C and then put it into 100.0 mL of water (initially at 23.7 °C). The metal and water were allowed to come to an equilibrium temperature, determined to be 27.8 °C. Assuming no heat lost to the environment, calculate the specific heat of the metal. Is this process endothermic or exothermic? Explain. Show Your Work

17. An ice cube is placed in a sealed insulated container of hot water at 80°C. After five minutes, the ice cube disappears. Ice Cube Heat ener Hot Water 5 min. Water Which best describes the change that took place inside the container? The total heat energy in the container was reduced by the ice cube. The hot water lost the same amount of heat energy as the ice cube gained. in the hot water was reduced by kinetic energy in the ice cube. O Heat energy in the ice cube was dissipated into the hot water.
