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

increased evaporation of the water

loss of gaseous reactants

inability to contain liquids

exchange of energy with the surroundings

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?

Regardless of mass, wood will heat up less than water if the same heat is added.

Given equal masses, wood will heat up less than water if the same heat is added.

Given equal masses, water will heat up less than wood if the same heat is added.

Regardless of mass, water will heat up less than wood if the same heat is added.

Which statement describes how a basic coffee cup calorimeter works?

It measures the mass of a substance given the specific heat and temperature of water in a cup of known size.

It measures the density of a substance given the mass, specific heat, and temperature of water in a cup of known size.

It uses the mass and specific heat of water along with a pressure gauge to measure the gain or loss of energy when a substance is added.

It uses the mass and specific heat of water along with a thermometer to measure the gain or loss of energy when a substance is added.
