In lab we determined the specific heat of several cubes of metal. One of those cubes was lead which had a specific heat of 0.13 J/g oC. Let’s imagine a thought experiment where we drop a 100 g piece of lead off the roof of a 10 meter tall building.
A. How much will the temperature rise for the lead when it hits the ground?
B. How much potential energy does the lead have at the top of the roof?
C. How much kinetic energy does the lead have just prior to striking the ground?
Assume that the mechanical energy is conserved and transferred to the lead to be thought of as heat, Q. Using Q = mc(T-To), solve for (T-To), the change in temperature.
When 8,000 joules of heat are removed from a sample of mercury, the temperature of the sample is decreased from 40 °C to 15 °C. What is the mass of the sample?
Thermal energy of a substance is the sum of the potential energy and kinetic energy of the particles that make it up. Let’s say you had a hot cup of water and a cold cup of water, and then mixed them. Illustrate the behavior of the particles before and after thermal equilibrium is reached.
A hot water bottle is filled with either water or vegetable oil. It is placed in the microwave
until the temperature increases by 60°C.
Using the data below, answer the questions. Recall the specific heat equation:
energy = mass × SHC × temperature change
Mass of water in bottle
Mass of oil in bottle
.3 kg
.2 kg
Specific heat capacity of water ...4200 J/kg°C
Specific heat capacity of oil ....1600 J/kg°C
