Ex. 1)How much heat is required to raise 400.0grams of water from 11.3ºC to 91.7ºC?
400.0g(80.4ºC)(4.18J/gºC)= 134429J!
Ex. 2)What mass of iron would increase 34ºC if 3970 joules of energy is added?
q= mΔTCp...m= q/ΔTCp
m= 3970J/(34ºC)(.449J/gºC) = 260g!
Ex. 3)If 202 grams of water at 70.0ºC gains 2010 calories of heat, what will its FINAL temperature (Tf) be?
q= mΔTCp...substitue ΔT to...q= m(Tf - Ti)Cp...[q/mCp] = (Tf - Ti)...Tf = q/mCp + Ti (formula needed)
Tf = 2010calories/(202g)(1cal/gºC) + 70ºC...10ºC + 70ºC = 80ºC = Final Temperture!
*note: always round answer to nearest whole number!
Ex.4)2.5lb of water at 48ºC will be at what temperature after 15,000 joules of heat are added?
convert lb to grams...2.5lb x (1kg/2.2lb) x (1000g/1kg) = 1.136grams
48ºC + [15000J/(1136g)(4.18J/gºC)...48ºC + 3.15ºC = 51ºC = Answer
Ex. 4)8750J of heat are applied to a piece of aluminum, causing a 56ºC increase in its temperature. What is the mass of the aluminum?
(look up in chemistry reference table to find the specific heat of aluminum)
8750J/(36ºC)(.897J/gºC) = 174g!
