9.100 Two baking sheets are made of different metals. You purchase both and bake a dozen cookies on each sheet at the same time in your oven. You observe that after 9 minutes, the cookies on one sheet are slightly burned on the bottom, whereas those on the other sheet are fine. (You are curious and you vary the conditions so you know the result is not caused by the oven.) (a) How can you use this observation to infer something about the specific heat of the materials in the baking sheets? (b) What is themathematical reasoning (equation) that you need to support your conclusion?
The addition of 3.15 g of Ba(OH)28H2O to a solution of 1.52 g of NH4SCN in loo g of water in a calorimeter caused the temperature to fall by 3.1 C. Assuming the specific heat of the solution and products is 4.20 J/g C, calculate the approximate amount of heat absorbed by the reaction, which can be represented by the following equation: Ba(OH)28H2O(s)+2NH4SCN(aq)Ba(SCN)2(aq)+2NH3(aq)+10H2O(l)
Equal masses of liquid A, initially at 100C, and liquid B, initially at 50C, are combined in an insulated container. The final temperature of the mixture is 80C. All the heat flow occurs between the two liquids. The two liquids do not react with each other. Is the specific heat of liquid A larger than, equal to, or smaller than the specific heat of liquid B?
