Unit One Heat: Review

** For your test, you will be allowed one single-sided 8.5 x 11 cheat sheet. You can write
whatever you like on it but it must be handwritten (not computer generated or using some
kind of special pen or whatever kind of crazy mojo you can think of). IF YOU DO NOT
FOLLOW THE RULES, I WILL SIMPLY REMOVE YOUR CHEAT SHEET AND YOU CAN WRITE THE
EXAM WITHOUT IT.

I will provide you with the following tables on your exam. You will be responsible for
understanding how to use them and any other information not on these tables.
- Coefficients of Thermal Expansion
- Specific Heat Capacities of Various Materials
- Latent Heat Values

** Make sure to show your work for every question for full marks! Round all answers to two
decimal places unless otherwise stated. Also leave answers in scientific notation (except for
temperature).

1. Convert .000 025 48 to scientific notation.

7. A steel beam which is 12.0 m in length sits next to a concrete wall when the

temperature of the metal and water are 17⁰C. What is the heat capacity of the
unknown metal?

that all heat lost by the Tim’s coffee is transferred to the mug, what will be the final
temperature of the Tim’s coffee? (Assume coffee to have the same specific heat
capacity of water)

Some notes about making cheat sheets:

- Do not put on information that you already know! It is a waste of precious space!
Unless you have lots of room I guess…
- Put examples on your cheat sheet (especially of hard questions)
- Explain what table uses what value (ex. Latent Heat table gives Hf and Hv)
- Put information in order from beginning of unit to end of unit.
- Colour code information?
- USE THE ENTIRE SPACE! DO NOT LEAVE GAPS ON YOUR CHEAT SHEET. THE MORE
THAT IS ON IT, THE GREATER THE CHANCE YOU WILL BE SUCCESSFUL ON THIS EXAM.
- Become familiar with your cheat sheet. Once you make it, try out a couple questions
and see if you need to add or change any information.
