An automobile engine provides 617 Joules of work to push the pistons.In this process the internal energy changes by -2945 Joules.Calculate q for the engine. This represents the amount of heat that must be carried away by the cooling system.
4 Having just invented a new type of calorimeter, Dr. Campbell needs to determine the heat capacity of the calorimeter. She carries out the following experiment to do this: She puts 20.0 grams of water in her empty calorimeter and it is allowed to stabilize at a temperature of 25.0ºC. She then adds 32.035 grams of water at a temperature of 83.2ºC to the calorimeter. After a few minutes the final temperature of the calorimeter stabilizes at 41.6ºC. Based on this experiment, what is the heat capacity of her calorimeter assuming units of J/ºC? Enter your answer with at least 3 sig figs.
A 21.42g sample of an unknown metal was heated to 99.5ºC, and the added to 50.00g of water contained in a foam coffee cup. The initial temperature of the water was 20.5ºC, and the final temperature of the metal and water was 25.1ºC. The calorimeter constant for the coffee-cup calorimeter was 13.5 J/ºC. What was the specific heat of the metal? * the answer is 0.64 J/gºC, but I need to know how to get there
A system receives 75.0 Joules of electrical work, delivers 274.0 Joules of expansion work, and absorbs 168.0 Joules of heat. How many Joules is the change in internal energy of the system for the entire process? Express answer in three sig figs.
In 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 chunk of lead weighing 19.61 grams and originally at 97.01 °C is dropped into an insulated cup containing 82.14 grams of water at 21.79 °C.The heat capacity of the calorimeter (sometimes referred to as the calorimeter constant) was determined in a separate experiment to be 1.61 J/°C.Using the accepted value for the specific heat of lead (See the References tool), calculate the final temperature of the water. Assume that no heat is lost to the surroundings.
An automobile engine provides 585 Joules of work to push the pistons. In this process the internal energy changes by -2759 Joules. Calculate q for the engine. This represents the amount of heat that must be carried away by the cooling system.

A bomb calorimeter, or constant volume calorimeter, is a device often used to determine the heat of combustion of fuels and the energy available from foods. Since the "bomb" itself can absorb energy, a separate experiment is needed to determine the heat capacity of the calorimeter. This is known as calibrating the calorimeter. In the laboratory a student burns a 0.508-g sample of benzil (C14H1002) in a bomb calorimeter containing 1060. g water. The temperature increases from 24.70 °C to 27.80 °C. The specific heat capacity of water is 4.184 J gl°C1. The combustion enthalpy is -6784 k]/mol benzil. C14H1002(s) + 31/2 02(g) →14 CO2(g) + 5 H20(I) A,H° = -6784 kJ/mol %3D Calculate the heat capacity of the calorimeter. heat capacity of calorimeter = J/C
