Question
Recall the last time you bought a cup of coffee or hot chocolate on a particularly cold day. The cup likely felt warm when you held it in your hand. The cup your beverage came in is not too different from the ones we used in this experiment. Based on this, do you think a coffee cup is a perfect insulator? If not, how might this affect your results?
Group of answer choices
No; the specific heat calculated is lower than it should be due to the heat lost
Yes; the specific heat calculated is lower than it should be due to the heat lost
No; results will not be affected since the calorimeter contains all heat indefinitely
Yes; results will not be affected since the calorimeter contains all heat indefinitely

- 3. A 74.5 g piece of metal at 86.0°C is placed in 133 g of water at 21.0°C contained in a calorimeter. The metal and water come to the same temperature at 24.2°C. How much heat (in J) did the metal give up to the water? (Assume the specific heat of water is 4.18 J/g·°C across the temperature range.) J What is the specific heat (in J/g·°C) of the metal? J/g·°C 4. A 0.528 g sample of KCl is added to 51.7 g of water in a calorimeter. If the temperature decreases by 1.07°C, what is the approximate amount of heat (in J) involved in the dissolution of the KCl, assuming the heat capacity of the resulting solution is 4.18 J/g°C? J Is the reaction exothermic or endothermic? exothermicendothermic 5. When 2.56 g of methane burns in oxygen, 128 kJ of heat is produced. What is the enthalpy of combustion (in kJ) per mole of methane under these conditions? kJ/mol methane 6. Joseph Priestly prepared oxygen in 1774 by heating red mercury(II) oxide with sunlight focused through a lens. How much…arrow_forwardCopper wires used to transport electrical current heat up because of the resistance in the wire. If a 162-g wire gains 285 J of heat, what is the change in temperature of the wire? Copper has a specific heat of 0.384 J g-1 C-1.arrow_forwardHow much heat would be required to raise 499 g of water from 111 oC to 251 oC? (You need to know what physical state water is in for the temperature range we're looking at.) Specific heats of water in different physical states H2O (s) = 0.497 cal/g. oC H2O (l) = 1.00 cal/g. oC H2O (g) = 0.490 cal/g. oCarrow_forward
- If you drop a 150 gram piece of metal that has a temperature of 125 Celsius into 1000 grams of water at 20 Celsius, what best describes what would occur? More heat will be lost by the metal than gained by the water. The temperature of the water will be greater than the amount of heat lost by the metal. The temperature change of the metal will equal the temperature change of the water. The heat lost by the metal will equal the heat gained by the water.arrow_forwardA 102.8g sample of a metal initially at 183.0 C is placed in 35.0 ml of water initially at 25.0 C. After reaching thermal equilibrium, the final temperature of the system is 58.8 C. What is the identity of the metal? Assume no heat is lost to the surroundings.arrow_forward6) A block of rhenium metal (specific heat =0.0329 cal/ gC) is heated to 88.2C and then dropped into 100.0 g of water initially at 26.4 C. The final temperature of the mixture is 32.4C. What was the mass of the block of rhenium?arrow_forward
- It takes 47.0 J to raise the temperature of an 9.90 g piece of unknown metal from 13.0°C to 24.6 °C. What is the specific heat for the metal? Express your answer with the appropriate units.arrow_forwardwhen 20 grams of salt is dissolved in 95 grams of water, the temperature of the solution decreases from 40 celsius to 0 celsius. how much heat is absorbed? the specific heat solution is 1.1 cal/g celsiusarrow_forwardAn electric kettle uses electrical energy to boil water. Energy from the electricity is transferred to the water, heating it up. An electric ice maker also uses electrical energy, but it freezes water to form ice. Since energy can’t be created or destroyed, and water loses potential energy when it freezes to form ice, what happens to the energy put into the ice maker and the energy released by the water?arrow_forward
- What mass of water will change its temperature by 10 °C when 975 J of heat is added? The specific heat of water is 4.18 J/g 0Carrow_forward1. A thermometer placed in a solution undergoing a chemical reaction indicates an increase in temperature as the reaction proceeds. Is this reaction endothermic or exothermic? Describe if heat energy is lost or gained from the reaction (the system) to the surroundings. What is the sign of the enthalpy change (AH) of this reaction? 2. A student performs a reaction and determines the enthalpy change (AH) to be 31.4 kJ. Will the temperature of the surrounding solution increase or decrease as a result of this chemical process? 3. If you hold 3 grams of ice in your hand at room temperature, your hand will become cold. a) Is the reaction H,O(s) – H,O(1) endothermic or exothermic? b) In which direction does heat flow?arrow_forward
