CHEM101 Lecture Midterm Questionnaire
1. Specific Heat is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 kg of a material
by one degree. (C or K).
2. Thermal Energy the total of all the kinetic and potential energy of all the particles in a
substance
3. Calorimeter used to help measure the specific heat of a substance.
4. Standard enthalpy of combustion is the enthalpy change when 1 mole of a substance
burns (combines vigorously with oxygen) under standard state conditions.
5. Elements contain one type of atom.
6. Covalent Bond atoms can either exchange or share electrons depending on the nature of
the interacting atoms.
7. Molecular Formula gives the composition of the molecule, in terms of the actual
number of atoms present.
8. Empirical Formula - gives the composition of the molecule, in terms of the smallest
ratio of the number of atoms present. (Example: CH2O, NaCO2)
9. Binary acids – composed of metal and another element, usually a nonmetal.
10. Ionic Compound are made up of a cation and an anion.
2. How much heat is released when 30 g of water at 96°C cools to 25°C? The specific heat of
water is 1 cal/g.°C.
3. If a 2.5 g ring is heated using 16.0 calories, its temperature rises 45°C. Calculate the
specific heat capacity of the ring.
4. A 155 g sample of an unknown substance was heated from 25°C to 40°C. In the process,
the substance absorbed 569 calories of energy. What is the specific heat of the
substance?
5. Calculate the temperature change when:
(a) 10.0 kg of water loses 232 kJ of heat. (cW=4.179J/g⋅∘C)
(b) 1.96 kJ of heat are added to 500 g of copper. (Ccu= 0.385 J/g⋅∘C)
6. When heated, the temperature of a water sample increased from 25°C to 45°C. It
absorbed 4300 joules of heat. What is the mass of the sample?
7. What quantity of heat is transferred when a 150.0 g block of iron metal is heated from
25.0°C to 73.3°C? What is the direction of heat flow?
8. How many milliliters of water at 36 °C with a density of 1.00 g/mL must be mixed with
210 mL of coffee at 75 °C so that the resulting combination will have a temperature of 50
°C? Assume that coffee and water have the same density and the same specific heat
(4.184 J/g °C).
9-10. In a coffee-cup calorimeter, 80g of H2O and 80 mL of HCl are mixed. The HCl had an
initial temperature of 75 ℃ and the water was originally at 37.5 ℃. After the reaction, the
temperature of both substances is 56.9℃. Was the reaction exothermic or endothermic?
Explain. Calculate how much heat the water lost or gained
