1. 50.0 g of water are added to a calorimeter at 22.35°C. An additional 50.0 g of water are heated to 72.48°c, then combined with the water in the calorimeter. The final temperature in the calorimeter is 46.85°C. What is the calorimeter constant, Ccal? 2. Calorimetry is used to determine the specific heat of a sample of copper weighing 5.67 g. 50.0 g of water at 23.96°C are used in the calorimeter, and the copper, heated to 74.69°C, is added, producing a final temperature of 24.43°C. Given a calorimeter with a heat capacity of 9.65 J/°C, what is the specific heat of the copper? If copper's specific heat is actually 0.373 J/g•°C, what is the percent error?

9.97 Suppose that the working fluid inside an industrial refrigerator absorbs 680 J of energy for every gram of material that vaporizes in the evaporator. The refrigerator unit uses this energy flow as part of a cyclic system to keep foods cold. A new pallet of fruit with a mass of 500 kg is placed in the refrigerator. Assume that the specific heat of the fruit is the same as that of pure water because the fruit is mostly water. Describe how you would determine the mass of the working fluid that would have to be evaporated to lower the temperature of the fruit by 15C. List any information you would have to measure or look up.
Hydrogen is an ideal fuel in many respects; for example, the product of its combustion, water, is nonpolluting. The heat given off in burning hydrogen to gaseous water is 5.16 104 Btu per pound. What is this heat energy in joules per gram? (1 Btu = 252 cal; see also Table 1.4.)
