A student is asked to identify an unknown piece of metal. The metal has a mass of 12.34 g. It is placed in a boiling water bath and brought up to 99.98 oC. A coffee-cup calorimeter is set up with 103.25 mL of water (density = 1.00 g/mL and specific heat = 4.184 J/g.oC) at a room temperature of 21.30 oC. The metal is removed from the boiling water and placed in the calorimeter. A final temperature is recorded as 22.32 oC. Find the specific heatcapacity of the unknown metal. (Assume there is no heat loss)
You discover a new substance and wish to determine its specific heat capacity. Your sample weighs 229 g and upon absorbing 16.4 kJ of heat the temperature is raised from 19.6K to 53.7K. What is the specific heat capacity (in J/g•K) of the metal?
When pure sulfuric acid is dissolved in water, heat is evolved. 10.65 g of pure sulfuric acid at 20.00 °C was added to a calorimeter containing 300 g of water at 20.00 °C.

The water temperature in the calorimeter rises from 2.15°C to 37.48°C. The specific heat capacity of water is 4.184 J and the density of water is g. °C 1.00 mL Assuming that heat was transferred from the hot water to the cold water and the calorimeter, determine the heat capacity of the calorimeter. J Heat capacity of calorimeter = °C
When 6.54 grams of Zn is placed in 500.0 mL of 1.00 M CuSO4(aq) in a coffee cup calorimeter, it reacts completely to displace copper. The temperature of the solution rises from 20.0˚C to 30.4˚C. Assume the coffee cup itself gains no heat and that the solution has the same density (1.00 g/mL) and specific heat (4.184 J/g˚C) as pure water. (a) How much heat does the solution gain during this reaction? (in J)
A 88.8 g piece of aluminum (which has a molar heat capacity of 24.03 J/°C·mol) is heated to 82.4°C and dropped into a calorimeter containing water (specific heat capacity of water is 4.18 J/g°C) initially at 22.3°C. The final temperature of the water is 24.8°C. Ignoring significant figures, calculate the mass of water in the calorimeter.
If 30.5 g of LiBr are dissolved 350.0 g of water at 20.0 °C in an insulated container, a temperature change is observed. The Δ H of solution of LiBr is -48.8 kJ/mol.

The specific heat of aluminum is 0.897 J/g·°C and the specific heat of water is 4.18 J/g·°C. If a 3.00 g piece of aluminum at 300.0°C is immersed in 10.0 mL of water at 30.0°C, predict the final temperature of the mixture.

When a 6.50 g sample of solid sodium hydroxide dissolves in 100.0 g of water in a coffee-cup calorimeter, the temperature of the water rises from 21.6 to 37.8oC. Was the chemical reaction (dissolving the solid) endothermic or exothermic? How do you know? Write a balanced chemical equation for this process. Determine how many joules of heat (q) were involved in changing the temperature of the water. If the heat that changed the temperature of the water was a result of the chemical reaction, determine the ΔH of the chemical reaction in kJ/mol of sodium hydroxide.
