You have two samples of different metals, metal A and metal B, each having the same mass. You heat both metals to 95C and then place each one into separate beakers containing the same quantity of water at 25C. a You measure the temperatures of the water in the two beakers when each metal has cooled by 10C and find that the temperature of the water with metal A is higher than the temperature of the water with metal B. Which metal has the greater specific heat? Explain. b After waiting a period of time, the temperature of the water in each beaker rises to a maximum value. In which beaker does the water temperature rise to the higher value, the one with metal A or the one with metal B? Explain.
General Zod has sold Lex Luthor what Zod claims to be a new copper-colored form of kryptonite, the only substance that can harm Superman. Lex, not believing in honor among thieves, decided to carry out some tests on the supposed kryptonite. From previous tests, Lex knew that kryptonite is a metal having a specific heat capacity of 0.082 J/gC and a density of 9.2 g/cm3. Lex Luthers first experiment was an attempt to find the specific heat capacity of kryptonite. He dropped a 10 g 3 g sample of the metal into a boiling water bath at a temperature of 100.0C 0.2C. He waited until the metal had reached the bath temperature and then quickly transferred it to I 00 g 3 g of water that was contained in a calorimeter at an initial temperature of 25.0C 0.2C. The final temperature of the metal and water was 25.2C. Based on these results, is it possible to distinguish between copper and kryptonite? Explain. When Lex found that his results from the first experiment were inconclusive, he decided to determine the density of the sample. He managed to steal a better balance and determined the mass of another portion of the purported kryptonite to be 4 g 1 g. He dropped this sample into water contained in a 25-mL graduated cylinder and found that it displaced a volume of 0.42 mL 0.02 mL. Is the metal copper or kryptonite? Explain. Lex was finally forced to determine the crystal structure of the metal General Zod had given him. He found that the cubic unit cell contained four atoms and had an edge length of 600. pm. Explain how this information enabled Lex to identify the metal as copper or kryptonite. Will Lex be going after Superman with the kryptonite or seeking revenge on General Zod? What improvements could he have made in his experimental techniques to avoid performing the crystal structure determination?

A 45-g aluminum spoon (specific heat 0.88 J/g C) at 24 C is placed in 180 mL (180 g) of coffee at 85 C and the temperature of the two become equal. (a) What is the final temperature when the two become equal? Assume that coffee has the same specific heat as water. (b) The first time a student solved this problem she got an answer of 88 C. Explain why this is clearly an incorrect answer.
A 500-mL bottle of water at room temperature and a 2-L bottle of water at the same temperature were placed in a refrigerator. After 30 minutes, the 500-mL bottle of water had cooled to the temperature of the refrigerator. An hour later, the 2-L of water had cooled to the same temperature. When asked which sample of water lost the most heat, one student replied that both bottles lost the same amount of heat because they started at the same temperature and finished at the same temperature. A second student thought that the 2-L bottle of water lost more heat because there was more water. A third student believed that the 500-mL bottle of water lost more heat because it cooled more quickly. A fourth student thought that it was not possible to tell because we do not know the initial temperature and the final temperature of the water. Indicate which of these answers is correct and describe the error in each of the other answers.
