Problem 5. An unknown silver/gray (92.9-g) piece of metal at 178.0°C, and then quickly transferred into 75.0 mL of water initially at 24.0°C. After a few minutes, both the metal and the water have reached 29.7°C. Calculate the specific heat and the identity of the metal. (Note: Use table 2.1 to find the specific heat of two different metals that is close to your answer and explain how you can confidently determine the identity of the metal).

In a coffee cup calorimeter, 50.0 mL of 1.00 M NaOH and 50.00 mL of 1.00 M HCl are mixed. Both solutions were originally at 24.6 C. After the reaction, the final temperature is 31.3 C. Given that the density of NaCl solution is 1.038 g/mL and the specific heat of NaCl solution is 3.87, calculate the change in enthalpy of neutralization per mole for the reaction of HCl with NaOH. Assume that no heat is lost to the surroundings.

To measure the enthalpy of an acid-base reaction, a student places the thermometer in the hydrochloric acid solution, and then, without rinsing with DI water, places it in the sodium hydroxide solution prior to adding the hydrochloric acid solution to the calorimeter. How would this affect the calculated enthalpy of the reaction, be too high, too low, or unaffected? Why?
When burning 0.25 g of CH3OH in a calorimeter bomb with a heat capacity of 1.50 kJ / 0C, it increases the temperature of the calorimeter bomb by 0.45 0C. How many kg of CH3OH (methyl alcohol) should be burned to obtain 2.76x105 kJ of heat? (CH3OH = 32 g / mol)
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 151.6-g sample of a metal at 74.7°C is added to 151.6 g at 15.9°C. The temperature of the water rises to 18.2°C. Calculate the specific heat capacity of the metal, assuming that all the heat lost by the metal is gained by the water. The specific heat capacity of water is 4.18 J/°C ⋅ g. Specific heat capacity = ________J/°C ⋅ g
A group of students place 15.41g of a metal into a test tube. They place the test tube into a beaker of boiling water until the temperature of the metal was 89.8°C. Then they quickly place the heated metal into a beaker of 10.47g of water with an initial temperature of 16.4°C. The temperature of the mixturecame to rest at 26.1°C. What is the specific heat of the metal used? (CH2O = 4.18 J/g°C)
