Macmillan Learning heat= The specific heat of a certain type of cooking oil is 1.75 cal/(g °C). How much heat energy is needed to raise the temperature of 2.40 kg of this oil from 23 °C to 191 °C? cal

An aluminum kettle weighs 1.05 kg. (a) What is the heat capacity of the kettle? (b) How much heat is required to increase the temperature of this kettle from 23.0 C to 99.0 C? (c) How much heat is required to heat this kettle from 23.0 C to 99.0 C if it contains 1.25 L of water (density of 0.997 g/mL and a specific heat of 4.184 J/g C)?

Swimming Pool A swimming pool measuring 20.0m12.5m is filled with water to a depth of 3.75m. If the initial temperature is 18.4°C, how much heatmust be added to the water to raise its temperature to29.0°C? Assume that the density of water is 1.000 g/mL.

The temperature of the cooling water as it leaves the hot engine of an automobile is 240 F. After it passes through the radiator it has a temperature of 175 F. Calculate the amount of heat transferred from the engine to the surroundings by one gallon of water with a specific heat of 4.184 J/g oC.

You have two samples of different metals, metal A and metal B, each having the same mass. You heat both metals to 95C and then place each one into separate beakers containing the same quantity of water at 25C. a You measure the temperatures of the water in the two beakers when each metal has cooled by 10C and find that the temperature of the water with metal A is higher than the temperature of the water with metal B. Which metal has the greater specific heat? Explain. b After waiting a period of time, the temperature of the water in each beaker rises to a maximum value. In which beaker does the water temperature rise to the higher value, the one with metal A or the one with metal B? Explain.

The “Chemistry in Focus” segment Nature Has Hot Plants discusses thermogenic, or heat-producing, plants. For some plants, enough heat is generated to increase the temperature of the blossom by 15 °C. About how much heat is required to increase the temperature of 1 L of water by 15 °C?

In the “Chemistry in Focus” segment Firewalking: Magic or Science?, it is claimed that one reason people can walk on hot coals is that human tissue is mainly composed of water. Because of this, a large amount of heat must be transferred from the coals to change the temperature of the feet significantly. How much heat must be transferred to 100.0 g of water to change its temperature by 35 °C?

The BTU (British thermal unit) is the unit of energy most commonly used in the United States. One joule=9.48104 BTU. What is the specific heat of water in BTU/lbF? (Specific heat of water is 4.18 J/g C.)

Hydrogen is an ideal fuel in many respects; for example, the product of its combustion, water, is nonpolluting. The heat given off in burning hydrogen to gaseous water is 5.16 104 Btu per pound. What is this heat energy in joules per gram? (1 Btu = 252 cal; see also Table 1.4.)

Copper is used in building the integrated circuits, chips, and printed circuit boards for computers. When 228 J of heat are absorbed by 125 g of copper at 22.38C, the temperature rises to 27.12C. What is the specific heat of copper?
