A 55.6 g sample of glass is put into a calorimeter (see sketch at right) that contains 300.0 g of water. The glass sample starts off at 86.1 °C and the temperature of the water starts off at 18.0 °C. When the temperature of the water stops changing it's 20.0 °C. The pressure remains constant at 1 atm. Calculate the specific heat capacity of glass according to this experiment. Be sure your answer is rounded to 2 significant digits. 0 J g.°C x10 X thermomete insulated container water sample- a calor

The specific heat capacity of copper is 0.385 J g1 C1, whereas it is 0.128 J g1 C1 for gold. Assume you place 100. g of each metal, originally at 25 C, in a boiling water bath at 100 C. If energy is transferred to each metal at the same rate, determine which piece of metal will reach 100 C first.
If 125 J of heat energy is applied to a block of silver weighing 29.3 g, by how many degrees will the temperature of the silver increase? (See Table 10.1.)
A 0.470-g sample of magnesium reacts with 200 g dilute HCl in a coffee-cup calorimeter to form MgCl2(aq) and H2(g). The temperature increases by 10.9 C as the magnesium reacts. Assume that the mixture has the same specific heat as water and a mass of 200 g. (a) Calculate the enthalpy change for the reaction. Is the process exothermic or endothermic? (b) Write the chemical equation and evaluate H.
You drink 350 mL of diet soda that is at a temperature of 5 C. (a) How much energy will your body expend to raise the temperature of this liquid to body temperature (37 C)? Assume that the density and specific heat capacity of diet soda are the same as for water. (b) Compare the value in part (a) with the caloric content of the beverage. (The label says that it has a caloric content of 1 Calorie.) What is the net energy change in your body resulting from drinking this beverage? (1 Calorie = 1000 kcal = 4184 J.) (c) Carry out a comparison similar to that in part (b) for a nondiet beverage whose label indicates a caloric content of 240 Calories.
When solid iron burns in oxygen gas (at constant pressure) to produce Fe2O3(s), 1651 kJ of heat is released for every 4 mol of iron burned. How much heat is released when 10.3 g Fe2O3(s) is produced (at constant pressure)? What additional information would you need to calculate the heat released to produce this much Fe2O3(s) if you burned iron in ozone gas, O3(g), instead of O2(g)?
Salicylic acid, C7H6O3, is one of the starting materials in the manufacture of aspirin. When 1.00 g of salicylic acid burns in a bomb calorimeter, the temperature of the bomb and water goes from 23.11C to 28.91C. The calorimeter and water absorb 21.9 kJ of heat. How much heat is given off when one mole of salicylic acid burns?
Which of the following substances have an enthalpy of formation equal to zero? a. Cl2(g) b. H2(g) c. N2(l) d. Cl(g)
The temperature of the cooling water as it leaves the hot engine of an automobile is 240 F. After it passes through the radiator it has a temperature of 175 F. Calculate the amount of heat transferred from the engine to the surroundings by one gallon of water with a specific heat of 4.184 J/g oC.
In a bomb calorimeter, the reaction vessel is surrounded by water that must be added for each experiment. Since the amount of water is not constant from experiment to experiment, the mass of water must be measured in each case. The heat capacity of the calorimeter is broken down into two parts: the water and the calorimeter components. If a calorimeter contains 1.00 kg water and has a total heat capacity of 10.84 kJ/C, what is the heat capacity of the calorimeter components?
A 110.-g sample of copper (specific heat capacity = 0.20 J/C g) is heated to 82.4C and then placed in a container of water at 22.3C. The final temperature of the water and copper is 24.9C. What is the mass of the water in the container, assuming that all the heat lost by the copper is gained by the water?
