A 45-g aluminum spoon (specific heat 0.88 J/g C) at 24 C is placed in 180 mL (180 g) of coffee at 85 C and the temperature of the two become equal. (a) What is the final temperature when the two become equal? Assume that coffee has the same specific heat as water. (b) The first time a student solved this problem she got an answer of 88 C. Explain why this is clearly an incorrect answer.
The temperature of the cooling water as it leaves the hot engine of an automobile is 240 F. After it passes through the radiator it has a temperature of 175 F. Calculate the amount of heat transferred from the engine to the surroundings by one gallon of water with a specific heat of 4.184 J/g oC.
The complete combustion of acetylene, C2H2(g), produces 1300. kJ of energy per mole of acetylene consumed. How many grams of acetylene must be burned to produce enough heat to raise the temperature of 1.00 gal water by 10.0c if the process is 80.0% efficient? Assume the density of water is 1.00 g/cm3
An aluminum kettle weighs 1.05 kg. (a) What is the heat capacity of the kettle? (b) How much heat is required to increase the temperature of this kettle from 23.0 C to 99.0 C? (c) How much heat is required to heat this kettle from 23.0 C to 99.0 C if it contains 1.25 L of water (density of 0.997 g/mL and a specific heat of 4.184 J/g C)?
Swimming Pool A swimming pool measuring 20.0m12.5m is filled with water to a depth of 3.75m. If the initial temperature is 18.4°C, how much heatmust be added to the water to raise its temperature to29.0°C? Assume that the density of water is 1.000 g/mL.
Which is the least expensive source of energy in kilojoules per dollar: a box of breakfast cereal that weighs 32 ounces and costs $4.23, or a liter of isooctane (density, 0.69 19 g/mL) that costs $0.45? Compare the nutritional value of the cereal with the heat produced by combustion of the isooctane under standard conditions. A 1.0-ounce serving of the cereal provides 130 Calories.
You have two samples of different metals, metal A and metal B, each having the same mass. You heat both metals to 95C and then place each one into separate beakers containing the same quantity of water at 25C. a You measure the temperatures of the water in the two beakers when each metal has cooled by 10C and find that the temperature of the water with metal A is higher than the temperature of the water with metal B. Which metal has the greater specific heat? Explain. b After waiting a period of time, the temperature of the water in each beaker rises to a maximum value. In which beaker does the water temperature rise to the higher value, the one with metal A or the one with metal B? Explain.
A block of aluminum and a block of iron, both having the same mass, are removed from a freezer and placed outside on a warm day. When the same quantity of heat has flowed into each block, which block will be warmer? Assume that neither block has yet reached the outside temperature. (See Table 6.1 for the specific heats of the metals.)
An iron skillet weighing 1.63 kg is heated on a stove to 178C. Suppose the skillet is cooled to room temperature, 21C. How much heat energy (in joules) must be removed to affect this cooling? The specific heat of iron is 0.449 J/(gC).
A piece of chocolate cake contains about 400 calories. A nutritional calorie is equal to 1000 calories (thermochemical calories), which is equal to 4.184 kJ. How many 8-in-high steps must a 180-lb man climb to expend the 400 Cal from the piece of cake? See Exercise 28 for the formula for potential energy.
Quinone is an important type of molecule that is involved in photosynthesis. The transport of electrons mediated by quinone in certain enzymes allows plants to take water, carbondioxide, and the energy of sunlight to create glucose. A 0.1964-g sample of quinone (C6H4O2) is burned in a bomb calorimeter with a heat capacity of 1.56 kJ/C. The temperature of the calorimeter increases by 3.2C. Calculate the energy of combustion of quinone per gram and per mole.
