Titanium metal is used as a structural material in many high-tech applications such as jet
engines. What is the specific heat of titanium in J/g°C if it takes 89.7 J to raise the
temperature of a 33.0g block by 5.20°C? Show your work. (3 point)

Question 3
A refrigerator is used to cool 3 liters of soft drink from room temperature (23°C) down to 5°C.

- If the density of the soft drink is 1.05 g/cm3, calculate the mass of the soft drink.
𝑚
(Use D= 𝑉 ) (1 point)

- How much heat energy must be removed if the specific heat capacity of the soft
drink is 4.15 J/g.°C. (3 point)

Question 4

A group of students is conducting an experiment to determine the identity of an unknown

substance. Upon adding 51.7 J to 10.0g of the metal its temperature is raised by 22 °C.
