How many Joules of energy are required to raise the temperature of 75 g of water from 20.0oC to 70.0oC? Heat Heat = = mass x ∆T x specific heat 75 g x 50.0 oC x 4.18 J/g oC Heat = 15675 J ~ 16,000 J = 16 kJ A 250.0 g metal bar requires 5.866 kJ to change its temperature from 22oC to 100.0oC. What is the specific heat of the metal? Heat = mass x ∆T x specific heat 5.866 kJ = 250.0 g x 78 oC x Cp 5.866 kJ = Cp = 250.0 g x 78 oC 0.00030 kJ g oC = 0.30 J g oC The specific heat of zinc is 0.096 cal/goC. Determine the energy required to raise the temperature of 250.0 g of zinc from room temperature (24oC) to 150.0oC. Heat = mass x ∆T x specific heat Heat = 250.0 g x 126 oC x 0.096 cal/goC Heat = 3024 cal = 3.0 x 103 cal = 3.0 kcal A 20.0 g piece of metal at 203oC is dropped into 100.0 g of water at 25.0oc. The water temperature rises to 29.0oC. Calculate the specific heat of the metal(J/goC). Assume that all of the heat lost by the metal is transferred to the water and no heat is lost to the surroundings. Heat = mass x ∆T x specific heat Heat lost by metal = Heat gained by water Heat = mass x ∆T x specific heat Heat lost by metal = Heat gained by water Heat gained by water: Heat = 100.0 g x (29.0 – 25.0)oC x 4.18 J/goC = 1672 J = 1700 J Heat lost by metal: 1700 J = 20.0 g x (203 – 29.0)oC x Cp oC 1700 J = .49 J/g Cp = 20.0 g x 174oC
