Calorimetry Answers

The heat capacity of a sample should be divided by which quantity to find the specific heat capacity?

Loren has the samples of elements that are listed below at room temperature. He exposes the samples to the same heat source until each sample reaches a temperature of 90.0°C. 10 g of Al(s) ( = 0.897 J/(gi°C))10 g of Ag(s) (= 0.234 J/gi°C )10 g of Fe(s) ( = 0.450 J/gi°C)10 g of Zn(s) ( = 0.387 J/gi°C )From first to last, which lists the order in which these samples will reach 90.0°C?

The specific heat of water is 4.18 J/(gi°C) and that of wood is 1.97 J/(gi°C). Which statement is correct?

Which units express specific heat capacity?

Which units express heat capacity?

What would be the greatest difference in using an open ceramic coffee mug rather than an insulated mug with a lid as a calorimeter?

Which statement defines calorimeter?

A sample of an unknown substance has a mass of 0.465 kg. If 3,000.0 J of heat is required to heat the substance from 50.0°C to 100.0°C, what is the specific heat of the substance?Use .

Complete combustion of a 0.600-g sample of a compound in a bomb calorimeter releases 24.0 kJ of heat. The bomb calorimeter has a mass of 1.30 kg and a specific heat of 3.41 J/(gi°C). If the initial temperature of the calorimeter is 25.5°C, what is its final temperature?Use .

When 40.0 mL of 1.00 M H2SO4 is added to 80.0 mL of 1.00 M NaOH at 20.00°C in a coffee cup calorimeter, the temperature of the aqueous solution increases to 29.20°C. If the mass of the solution is 120.0 g and the specific heat of the calorimeter and solution is 4.184 J/g • °C, how much heat is given off in the reaction? (Ignore the mass of the calorimeter in the calculation.)Use .
