A 237-g piece of molybdenum, initially at 100.0 C, is dropped into 244 g of water at 10.0 C. When the system comes to thermal equilibrium, the temperature is 15.3 C. What is the specific heat capacity of molybdenum?
A piece of titanium metal with a mass of 20.8 g is heated in boiling water to 99.5 C and then dropped into a coffee-cup calorimeter containing 75.0 g of water at 21.7 C. When thermal equilibrium is reached, the final temperature is 24.3 C. Calculate the specific heat capacity of titanium.
Peanuts and peanut oil are organic materials and bum in air. How many burning peanuts does it take to provide the energy to boil a cup of water (250 mL of water)? To solve this problem, we assume each peanut, with an average mass of 0.73 g, is 49% peanut oil and 21% starch; the remainder is noncombustible We further assume peanut oil is palmitic acid, C16H32O2, with an enthalpy of formation of 848.4 kJ/mol. Starch is a long chain of C6H10O5 units, each unit having an enthalpy of formation of 960 kJ.
In a coffee-cup calorimeter, 100.0 mL of 1.0 M NaOH and 100.0 mL of 1.0 M HCI are mixed. Both solutions were originally at 24.6C. After the reaction, the final temperature is 31.3C. Assuming that all the solutions have a density of 1.0 g/cm3 and a specific heat capacity of 4.18 J/Cg, calculate the enthalpy change for the neutralization of HCl by NaOH. Assume that no heat is lost to the surroundings or to the calorimeter.
A sample of nickel is heated to 99.8C and placed in a coffee-cup calorimeter containing 150.0 g water at 23.5C. After the metal cools, the final temperature of metal and water mixture is 25.0C. If the specific heat capacity of nickel is 0.444 J/C g, what mass of nickel was originally heated? Assume no heat loss to the surroundings.
When 50.0 g of 0.200 M NaCl(aq) at 24.1 C is added to 100.0 g of 0.100 M AgNO3(aq) at 24.1 C in a calorimeter, the temperature increases to 25.2 C as AgCl(s) forms. Assuming the specific heat of the solution and products is 4.20 J/g C, calculate the approximate amount of heat in joules produced.
