SPECIFIC HEAT CAPACITY ASSIGNMENT

(A) How many joules of heat are required to raise the temperature of 550 g of water from 12.0
oC to 18.0 oC? (Remember the specific heat of water is 4200 J/kg oC)

(B) How much heat is lost when a 640 g piece of copper cools from 375 oC to 26oC? (The
specific heat of copper is 384.52 J/Kg oC)

(C) The specific heat of iron is 449.4 J/Kg oC. How much heat is transferred when a 24.7 kg
iron ingot is cooled from 880 oC to 13 oC?

(D) How many kilograms of water would require 220000 joules of heat to raise its temperature
from 34.0 oC to 100.0 oC? (Remember the specific heat of water is 4200 J/kg oC)

(E) 8750 J of heat are applied to a piece of aluminium causing a 56 oC increase in its
temperature. The specific heat of aluminium is 902.5 J/kg oC. What is the mass of the
aluminium?

(F) Find the mass of a sample of water if its temperature dropped 24.8 oC when it lost 870 J of
heat. (Remember that specific heat capacity of water 4200 J/kg oC)

(G) How many degrees would the temperature of a 450 g ingot of iron increase if 7600 J of
energy are applied to it? (The specific heat of iron is 449.4 J/Kg oC)

(H) A 250 g sample of water with an initial temperature of 98.8 oC loses 7500 joules of
heat. What is the final temperature of the water? (Remember, final temp = initial temp -
change in temp) remember that specific heat capacity of water 4200 J/kg oC

(I) Copper has a specific heat of 384.52 J/Kg oC How much change in temperature would the
addition of 35 000 Joules of heat have on a 538.0 g sample of copper?

(J) Determine the specific heat of a certain metal if a 450 gram sample of it loses 34 500 Joules
of heat as its temperature drops by 97 oC

(K) 4786 Joules of heat are transferred to a 89.0 gram sample of an unknown material, with an
initial temperature of 23.0 oC. What is the specific heat of the material if the final
temperature is 89.5 oC?

(L) The temperature of a 55 gram sample of a certain metal drops by 113 oC as it loses 3500
Joules of heat. What is the specific heat of the metal?
