1. Given: Q - 481.

5 J

Mass - 25 g

ΔT - (75°C - 25°C) = 50°C

Unknown: c - specific heat of copper

Formula: c = Q/mΔT

Solution: c = 481.5 J/25 g x 50°C

= 0.3852 J/g·°C

Answer: c = 0.39 J/g·°C

2. Given: mass of water - 25 g

ΔT = (100°C - 25°C) = 75°C

specific heat capacity of water = 4.18 J/g·°C

Unknown: Heat (Q)

Formula: Q = mcΔT

Solution: Q = 25 g x 4.18 J/g·°C x 75°C

= 7837.5 J

Answer: 7837.5 J
3. Given: Q - 2892 J

ΔT - (100.0°C - 30.0°C) = 70°C

specific heat of water - 4.184 J/g·°C

Unknown: Mass (m)

Formula: m = Q/cΔT

Solution: m = 2892 J/4.184 J/g·°C x 70°C

= 9.87435 g

Answer: 9.87 g

4. Given: Q - 225.9 J

Mass - 58.3g

ΔT - (42.0°C - 12.0°C) = 30°C

Unknown: c - specific heat of lead

Formula: c = Q/mΔT

Solution: c = 225.9 J/ 58.3g x 30°C

= 0.12915 J/g·°C

Answer: 0.13 J/g·°C

5. Given: Q - 8.78 x 106 J

ΔT - (34.0°C - 22.0°C) = 12°C

specific heat of water - 4.18 x 103 J/kg·°C

Unknown: Mass (m)

Formula: m = Q/cΔT

Solution: m = 8.78 x 106 J/4.18 x 103 J/kg·°C x 12°C

= 0.18013 g

Answer: 0.180 g
6. Given: mass - 192.4 g

Q - 226 J

T (initial) = 30.0°C

specific heat of gold = 0.129 J/g·°C

Unknown: Final Temperature

Formula: Final Temperature = Initial temperature + ?T

Solution:

Let x be the change in temperature

c = Q/mΔT

= 226 J/192.4g x (x)

= 0.129 J/g·°C

= (226)/(192.4x)= 0.129

= 226(192.4x) = 0.129(192.4x)

= 226 = 24.8196x

= 24.8196x/24.8196 = 226/24.8196

= x = 9.105707

ΔT = 9.11°C

30°C + 9.11°C = 39.11°C

Answer: 39.11°C
