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)
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.

In order to break water into hydrogen and oxygen, water is heated to more than 500°C. Which kind of reaction is this and why? It is exothermic because heat needs to be released by the reactants to form the products. It is endothermic because heat needs to be released by the reactants to form the products It is exothermic because heat needs to be absorbed by the reactants to form the products. It is endothermic because heat needs to be absorbed by the reactants to form the products.
