- To treat a burn on his hand, a person decides to place an ice cube on the burned skin. The mass of the ice cube is 15.0 g, and its initial temperature is –11.2 °C. The water resulting from the melted ice reaches the temperature of his skin, 29.2 °C. How much heat is absorbed by the ice cube and resulting water? Assume that all of the water remains in the hand. Constants for water can be found in this table.arrow_forwardWhich statement best defines specific heat? The amount of heat required to increase the temperature of 1 mol of a substance by 1 °C. The amount of heat required to increase the temperature of a specific object, such as a calorimeter, by 1 °C. The amount of heat required to increase the temperature of 1 g of a substance by 1 °C. The amount of heat required to increase the temperature of 1 L of a substance by 1 °C.arrow_forwardIf 50.0 g of water change in temperature from 22.5 to 25.4 deg C and the specific heat capacity of water is 4.18 J/g degC, calculate the amount of heat required to cause this temperature change.arrow_forward
- A hot 105.9 g lump of an unknown substance initially at 154.0 °C is placed in 35.0 mL of water initially at 25.0 °C and the system is allowed to reach thermal equilibrium. The final temperature of the system is 36.2 °C. Using this information and the specific heat values for several metals in the table, identify the unknown substance.
