Question 1

Heat is
A)a measure of temperature.
B)a measure of the change in temperature.
C)a measure of thermal energy.
D)a measure of thermal energy transferred between two bodies at different temperature.

Accepted Answer

Heat is a measure of thermal energy transferred between two bodies at different temperatures. It is not the same as temperature (choice A) or the change in temperature (choice B), although they are related.

Question 2

Suppose a 50.0 g block of silver (specific heat = 0.2350 J/g·°C)at 100°C is placed in contact with a 50.0 g block of iron (specific heat = 0.4494 J/g·°C)at 0°C, and the two blocks are insulated from the rest of the universe.The final temperature of the two blocks
A)will be higher than 50°C.
B)will be lower than 50°C.
C)will be exactly 50°C.
D)is unrelated to the composition of the blocks.
E)cannot be predicted.

Accepted Answer

When two objects of different temperatures are placed in contact, heat flows from the hotter object to the colder object until they reach thermal equilibrium (same temperature). In this case, the silver block has a higher initial temperature than the iron block, so heat will flow from the silver block to the iron block until they reach the same temperature. Since silver has a lower specific heat than iron, it will lose temperature more quickly than the iron block gains temperature. This means that the final temperature will be closer to the initial temperature of the iron block (0°C) than the initial temperature of the silver block (100°C), thus the final temperature will be lower than 50°C.

Question 3

Three separate 3.5g blocks of Al, Cu, and Fe at 25 °C each absorb 0.505 kJ of heat.Which block reaches the highest temperature? The specific heats of Al, Cu, and Fe are 0.900 J/g·°C, 0.385J/g·°C, and 0.444 J/g·°C, respectively.
A)Al
B)Cu
C)Fe
D)Al and Cu
E)Fe and Cu

Accepted Answer

Copper (Cu) has the lowest specific heat capacity, meaning it requires less energy to increase its temperature, so it will reach the highest temperature when absorbing the same amount of heat.

Question 4

When 0.7521 g of benzoic acid was burned in a calorimeter containing 1,000.g of water, a temperature rise of 3.60°C was observed.What is the heat capacity of the bomb calorimeter, excluding the water? The heat of combustion of benzoic acid is -26.42 kJ/g.
A)1.34 kJ/°C
B)4.18 kJ/°C
C)5.52 kJ/°C
D)15.87 kJ/°C
E)752.1 kJ/°C

Accepted Answer

First, we can calculate the amount of heat released by the benzoic acid:
q = -26.42 kJ/g * 0.7521 g = -19.871 kJ
Next, we can use the formula for heat capacity to find the value of the calorimeter's heat capacity:
q = C * ΔT
where
C = heat capacity (in J/°C)
ΔT = temperature rise (in °C)
We need to convert the units of q to joules:
-19.871 kJ = -19,871 J
Now we can plug in the values:
-19,871 J = C * 3.60°C
C = -19,871 J / 3.60°C
C = -5,520 J/°C
Note that the heat capacity we found is negative, which means that the calorimeter releases heat instead of absorbing it. However, the question asks for the magnitude of the heat capacity, so we need to take the absolute value:
|C| = 5,520 J/°C ≈ 1.34 kJ/°C, which is choice A.

Question 9

Calculate the amount of heat necessary to raise the temperature of 135.0 g of water from 50.4°F to 85.0°F.The specific heat of water = 4.184 J/g·°C.
A)1.1 kJ
B)10.9 kJ
C)16.6 kJ
D)19.5 kJ
E)48.0 kJ

Accepted Answer

First, convert the temperatures from Fahrenheit to Celsius: 50.4°F = 10.22°C and 85.0°F = 29.44°C. The temperature change (ΔT) is 29.44°C - 10.22°C = 19.22°C. Use the formula q = mcΔT, where m = 135.0 g, c = 4.184 J/g°C, and ΔT = 19.22°C. Calculate q = 135.0 g * 4.184 J/g°C * 19.22°C = 10857.7 J = 10.9 kJ.

Question 10

If 10.6 moles of water at 35°C absorbs 12.30 kJ, what is the final temperature of the water? The specific heat of water is 4.184 J/g·°C.
A)15°C
B)20°C
C)35°C
D)50.°C
E)312°C

Accepted Answer

To find the final temperature, use the formula q = m*c*ΔT. First, convert moles of water to grams (10.6 moles * 18.015 g/mol = 190.959 g). Convert 12.30 kJ to J (12.30 kJ * 1000 = 12300 J). Rearrange the formula to solve for ΔT: ΔT = q / (m*c). Plug in the values: ΔT = 12300 J / (190.959 g * 4.184 J/g°C) = 15°C. Add this to the initial temperature: 35°C + 15°C = 50°C.

Question 11

Question 15

A beaker contains 115 g of ethanol at 18.2°C.If the ethanol absorbs 1125 J of heat without losing heat to the surroundings, what will be the final temperature of the ethanol? The specific heat of ethanol is 2.46 J/g.°C.
A)4.08°C
B)14.1°C
C)18.4°C
D)22.2°C
E)36.4°C

Accepted Answer

Using the formula Q = mcΔT, where Q is the heat absorbed, m is the mass of ethanol, c is the specific heat of ethanol, and ΔT is the change in temperature.

Rearranging for ΔT, we get ΔT = Q / (mc)

Plugging in the values, we get:
ΔT = (1125 J) / (115 g * 2.46 J/g°C) = 4.22°C

Therefore, the final temperature of the ethanol will be:
18.2°C + 4.22°C = 22.42°C

Rounding to the nearest tenth, we get:
22.2°C

Thus, the answer is D.

Question 16

The specific heat of gold is 0.129 J/g·°C.What is the molar heat capacity of gold?
A)0.039 J/mol·°C
B)0.129 J/mol·°C
C)25.4 J/mol·°C
D)39.0 kJ/mol·°C
E)197 J/mol·°C

Accepted Answer

The molar heat capacity (Cp) is defined as the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one mole of a substance by 1 degree Celsius. It can be calculated as follows:

Cp = specific heat x molar mass

The molar mass of gold is 196.97 g/mol. Substituting the value of specific heat (0.129 J/g·°C) and molar mass into the formula gives:

Cp = 0.129 J/g·°C x 196.97 g/mol = 25.4 J/mol·°C

Therefore, the best choice is (C) 25.4 J/mol·°C.

Question 17

A piece of copper with a mass of 218 g has a heat capacity of 83.9 J/°C.What is the specific heat of copper? A)0.385 J/g·°C B)1.32 J/g·°C C)2.60 J/g·°C D)24.5 J/g·°C E)1.83 × 10⁴ J/g·°C

Accepted Answer

First, we need to convert the mass of the piece of copper to grams per degree Celsius (g/°C) by dividing by its heat capacity:

mass/heat capacity = (218 g)/(83.9 J/°C) = 2.6 g/°C

Then, we can use the definition of specific heat, which is the heat energy required to raise the temperature of one gram of a substance by one degree Celsius:

specific heat = heat energy/(mass x change in temperature)

Since we are not given any change in temperature or heat energy, we cannot calculate the specific heat directly. However, we know that the units of specific heat are J/(g·°C), so we can convert our previous result to this unit:

2.6 g/°C x (1 J/1 g·°C) = 2.6 J/g·°C

Therefore, the specific heat of copper is 2.6 J/g·°C, which corresponds to choice A.

Question 18

Potential energy is
A)the energy stored within the structural units of chemical substances.
B)the energy associated with the random motion of atoms and molecules.
C)solar energy, i.e.energy that comes from the sun.

Accepted Answer

Potential energy is the energy that an object possesses due to its position relative to others, or due to the configuration of its parts. It is a type of stored energy, and examples include gravitational potential energy and elastic potential energy.

Question 19

A 135 g sample of H₂O at 85°C is cooled.The water loses a total of 15 kJ of energy in the cooling process.What is the final temperature of the water? The specific heat of water is 4.184 J/g·°C. A)27°C B)58°C C)70°C D)84°C E)112°C

Accepted Answer

The energy lost (15,000 J) is equal to the mass (135 g) times the specific heat (4.184 J/g°C) times the change in temperature (ΔT). Solving for ΔT gives ΔT = 15,000 J / (135 g * 4.184 J/g°C) = 26.7°C. The final temperature is 85°C - 26.7°C = 58.3°C, which rounds to 58°C.
