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)
n the laboratory a "coffee cup" calorimeter, or constant pressure calorimeter, is frequently used to determine the specific heat of a solid, or to measure the energy of a solution phase reaction.A student heats 63.03 grams of chromium to 98.03 °C and then drops it into a cup containing 79.71 grams of water at 23.19 °C. She measures the final temperature to be 28.85 °C.The heat capacity of the calorimeter (sometimes referred to as the calorimeter constant) was determined in a separate experiment to be 1.57 J/°C.Assuming that no heat is lost to the surroundings calculate the specific heat of chromium. Specific Heat (Cr) = ____________J/g °C.
A chemist carefully measures the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of a 1.65kg sample of C9H10O2 from 25.9°C to 37.9°C. The experiment shows that 3.09 X 104J of heat are needed.
