1. In an experiment to determine the Specific Heat of Nickel, a 66.0 g sample of Nickel metal is heated to a temperature of 101.0 °C in a bath of boiling water. The Nickel is then removed from the Water bath and quickly added to a calorimeter containing 80.0 g of Water [C, of Water = 4.18 g °c] at an initial temperature of 23.6 °C. After thermal equilibrium was reached, the final temperature of the system was 31.1 °C. a. What is the Specific Heat of Nickel, as determined by this experiment?

The heat released when one mole of water is formed from the elements is 1,198 kJ. An experiment was conducted that permitted water to form in this manner, and the heat was contained in 2.0 liters of water. The water temperature before the reaction was 34.5°C, and after the reaction it had risen to 52.0°C. How many moles of water were formed? (The specific heat of water is 4.184 J/g·°C.)Answer: 0.12 mole (Can you explain how?)
The temperature of the solution increases from 21.3 °C to 38.2 °C. 0.468 g Mg reacting0.0193 mol Mg reacting80.844 g HCl solution The energy released is given by q = specific heat × mass × temperature changeThe solution is almost all water, so we use the specific heat capacity of water, 4.18 J/g•°C. What is the quantity of heat released? Enter your answer as a positive value.
q represents the change in heat of a reaction or substance. The units of q are Joules (J) or kilojoules (kJ). For a well understood substance, we can calculate the specific heat which relates the mass of the substance in grams to the amount of heat in J required to raise that amount a certain temperature. We call that specific heat. The specific heat (Cs) of water is stated in the following way: C s ( H 2 O ) = 4.186 J g ∘ C This means that it takes 4.186 J of energy to raise the temperature of 1g of water by 1ºC. The relationship between q and Cs for a given substance is where m is mass (g) and ∆T is the change in temperature in ºC (final temp - initial temp). Calculate the heat change (q) in J when 4.297 grams of water is cooled from 3.967 ºC to -2.902 ºC. Enter your answer with one decimal place (tenths). Pay careful attention to the sign of your answer. The sign of ∆T is always the same as the sign for q.
