What is the mass of the silver block? The specific heat capacity of silver is 0.235 J/g°C The specific heat capacity of water is 4.184 J/g°C To minimize rounding errors report your final answer with one decimal place. I'm not going to worry about significant figures on this question. Do not type units with your answer. Your Answer:

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.
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.
A sample of 0.562 g of carbon is burned in oxygen in a bomb calorimeter, producing carbon dioxide. Assume both the reactants and products are under standard state conditions, and that the heat released is directly proportional to the enthalpy of combustion of graphite. The temperature of the calorimeter increases from 26.74 C to 27.93 C. What is the heat capacity of the calorimeter and its contents?
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.
A 5.00-g sample of aluminum pellets (specific heat capacity = 0.89 J/C g) and a 10.00-g sample of iron pellets (specific heat capacity = 0.45 J/C g) are heated to 100.0C. The mixture of hot iron and aluminum is then dropped into 97.3 g water at 22.0C. Calculate the final temperature of the metal and water mixture, assuming no heat loss to the surroundings.
Adding 5.44 g of NH4NO3(s) to 150.0 g of water in a coffee-cup calorimeter (with stirring to dissolve the salt) resulted in a decrease in temperature from 18.6 C to 16.2 C. Calculate the enthalpy change for dissolving NH4NO3(s) in water, in kJ/mol. Assume the solution (whose mass is 155.4 g) has a specific heat capacity of 4.2 J/g K. (Cold packs take advantage of the fact that dissolving ammonium nitrate in water is an endothermic process.)
