    1) A sample of 1.0 x 104 g absorbed 2.5 x 103 joules of heat when its temperature increased from 10.0C to 70.0C. Using the specific heat equation, the specific heat is calculated to be 0.0042 J/gC. 2) A 1.0 kg sample of metal at 100.0C is placed in 50.0 g of water at 20.0C. Using heat equations, the final temperature is calculated to be 76C. 3) A 2.8 kg sample of metal at 100.0C is placed in 50.0 g of water at 30.0C. Using heat equations, the final temperature is calculated to

    Specific Heat Problems

    1) What is the specific heat of a substance that absorbs 2.5 x 103 joules of heat when a
    sample
    of 1.0 x 104 g of the substance increases in temperature from 10.0C to 70.0C?

    2) A 1.0 kg sample of metal with a specific heat of 0.50 KJ/KgC is heated to 100.0C and
    then
    placed in a 50.0 g sample of water at 20.0C. What is the final temperature of the metal
    and
    the water?

    3) A 2.8 kg sample of a metal with a specific heat of 0.43KJ/KgC is heated to 100.0C then
    placed in a 50.0 g sample of water at 30.0C. What is the final temperature of the metal
    and
    the water?

    Solutions to Specific Heat Problems

    q = (m)(t)(cp) where q is the energy in joules


    m is the mass
    t is the change in initial temperature to the final temperature
    cp is the specific heat (heat required to raise 1 g of the substance
    1C)

    1) q = (m)(t)(cp)
    2.5 x 103 J = (1.0 x 104 g)(70C-10C)(cp)
    [2.5 x 103 J]
    = cp
    [1.0 x 104 g][70C-10C]
    0.0042 J = cp
    gC
