Microwave ovens convert radiation to energy. A microwave oven uses radiation with a wavelength of 12.5 cm. Assuming that all the energy from the radiation is converted to heat without loss, how many moles of photons are required to raise the temperature of a cup of water (350.0 g, specific heat =4.18J/gC) from 23.0C to 99.0C?
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 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?
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?
9.104 An engineer is using sodium metal as a cooling agent in a design because it has useful thermal properties. Looting up the heat capacity, the engineer finds a value of 28.2 J mol-l °C-l. Carelessly, he wrote this number down without units. As a result, it was later taken as specific heat. (a) What would he the difference between these two values? (b) Would the engineer overestimate the ability of sodium to remove heat from the system or underestimate it because of this error? Be sure to explain your reasoning.
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?
