Which statement about temperature is TRUE? A small block of aluminum sitting in a beaker of boiling water for several hours will have a different temperature than the boiling water. Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of particles in a substance. Temperature moves from colder objects to hotter objects. A cup of boiling water and a bucket of boiling water will have different temperatures because they have different volumes.

In the laboratory a student uses a "coffee cup" calorimeter to determine the specific heat of a metal. She heats 19.8 grams of platinum to 98.86°C and then drops it into a cup containing 78.9 grams of water at 20.91°C. She measures the final temperature to be 21.50°C. Assuming that all of the heat is transferred to the water, she calculates the specific heat of platinum to be _______ J/g°C.

A chemist carefully measures the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of a 112.0 g sample of a pure substance from 27.4 °C to 44.1 °C. The experiment shows that 8.79 kJ of heat are needed. What can the chemist report for the specific heat capacity of the substance? Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits. 1 J.g¹.K - 1 x10 X S ? 0⁰
Classify the chemical changes as endothermic or exothermic. -campers burn wood to stay warm at night -a chemical change takes place in a container, making it feel hot to the touch -a chemical change takes place in a container, making it feel cold to the touch -pocket hand warmers start out at room temperature, and when the air-tight packaging is opened a substance contained in a pouch reacts with air and it quickly begins to feel hot.
It is assumed that the heat given up by the metal is transferred to the water. The specific heat of water is 4.18 J/g°C, which means that 4.18 Joules of heat energy is required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water 1 °C. Use the table below to determine which metal your unknown is.
