The rate at which crickets chirp depends on the ambient temperature, because crickets are cold-blooded insects whose body temperature follows the temperature of their environment. It has been found that the Celsius temperature can be estimated by counting the number of chirps in 8 seconds and then adding 4. In other words, te = (number of chirps in 8 seconds) + 4.

A chemical reaction takes place inside a flask submerged in a water bath. The water bath contains 6.90kg of water at 28.0°C. During the reaction 133.kJ of heat flows out of the bath and into the flask. Calculate the new temperature of the water bath. You can assume the specific heat capacity of water under these conditions is 4.18 J·g−1·K−1. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.
A chemist carefully measures the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of a 1.54kg sample of C4H8O from 2.1°C to 19.3°C. The experiment shows that 4.33 x 10^4J of heat are needed. What can the chemist report for the molar heat capacity ofC4H8O? Round your answer to 3 significant digits.
Measuring the change in temperature versus time upon addition of a hot metal specimen to 10.3 mL of water with an initial temperature of 26.55 degrees Celsius led to a plot with a line with the equation y = -0.121x + 36.55. If the heat absorbed by the water is equal to the heat lost by the metal, determine the specific heat of the metal with a mass of 10.51 g to two decimal places.
A) An iron nail with a mass of 12 gg absorbs 15 J of heat. If the nail was initially at 30 ∘C, what is its final temperature? Express your answer using two significant figures. B) When 47.1 J of heat is added to 13.8 g of a liquid, its temperature rises by 1.74 ∘C. What is the heat capacity of the liquid?
Chemical energy is released or absorbed from reactions in various forms. The most easily measurable form of energy comes in the form of heat, or enthalpy. The enthalpy of a reaction can be calculated from the heats of formation of the substances involved in the reaction: ΔΗn = ΣηΔΗ; (products) – Σπ.ΔΗ (reactants) where n represents the stoichiometric coefficients. Part A Calculate the standard enthalpy change for the reaction Use the following data: ΔΗ; Substance (kJ/mol) A B C D ΔΗ; = -237 -385 205 -515 Submit Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units. ► View Available Hint(s) μА Value Previous Answers 2A + B2C + 2D Review | Constants I Periodic Table Units ?

In the laboratory a student uses a "coffee cup" calorimeter to determine the specific heat of a metal. She heats 19.9 grams of iron to 98.12°C and then drops it into a cup containing 77.7 grams of water at 20.85°C. She measures the final temperature to be 22.83°C. Assuming that all of the heat is transferred to the water, she calculates the specific heat of iron to be J/g°C.
