Concept explainers

The flow of energy from one region to another region is referred to as energy transfer. Since energy is quantitative; it must be transferred to a body or a material to work or to heat the system.

Molar Specific Heat

Heat capacity is the amount of heat energy absorbed or released by a chemical substance per the change in temperature of that substance. The change in heat is also called enthalpy. The SI unit of heat capacity is Joules per Kelvin, which is (J K-1)

Thermal Properties of Matter

Thermal energy is described as one of the form of heat energy which flows from one body of higher temperature to the other with the lower temperature when these two bodies are placed in contact to each other. Heat is described as the form of energy which…

Chapter 14.4, Problem 20P

A 525-kg steam boiler is made of steel and contains 315 kg of water at 40.0°C. Assuming that 75% of the heat is delivered to the boiler and water, how many kilocalories are required to raise the temperature of both the boiler and water to 100.0°C?

1.2-kg of ice at -6.0°C is dropped into 5.0 L (5.566-kg) of car coolant. The initial temperature of the coolant is 25.0°C. The ice and coolant are insulated, so energy transfers to the outside is negligible. After hours, all ice melts and the final temperature of the mixture of water-coolant is 1.8°C. The specific heat of ice is 2090 J/kg °C; the specific heat of water is 4186 J/kg °C; the latent heat of fusion for water is 334000 J/kg. A. What is the energy needed for heating the ice to 0 °C? B. Determine the energy needed to melt the ice into water. C. Determine the total energy needed to heat the -6.0°C ice to 1.8°C water. (Please note: the total energy also includes the part heating water from 0.0 °C to 1.8 °C.) D. Determine the specific heat capacity of the coolant.

An unknown substance has a mass of 0.125 kg and an initial temperature of 95.5°C. The substance is then dropped into a calorimeter made of aluminum containing 0.285 kg of water initially at 20.5°C. The mass of the aluminum container is 0.150 kg, and the temperature of the calorimeter increases to a final equilibrium temperature of 32.0°C. Assuming no thermal energy is transferred to the environment, calculate the specific heat of the unknown substance.? J/kg · °C

A calorimeter made of copper (c=0.0923 cal/g-C°) of mass 300 g contains 450 grams of water. The container is initially at the room temperature, 20°C. A 1kg block of metal is heated to 100°C and placed in the water in the calorimeter. The final temperature of the system is 40°C. What is the specific heat of the metal?
