- Which is NOT an example of an endothermic change? a.melting b.sublimation c.freezing d.evaporationarrow_forwardClassify each process as exothermic or endothermic. (a) ice melts (b) gasoline burns (c) steam condenses (d) reactants products, H = 50 kJarrow_forwardConsider the substances in Table 7-1. Which substance requires the largest amount of energy to raise the temperature of 25.0 g of the substance from l5.0C to 37.0C? Calculate the energy. Which substance in Table 7-1 has the largest temperature change when 550. g of the substance absorbs 10.7 kJ of energy? Calculate the temperature change.arrow_forward
- An iron skillet weighing 1.63 kg is heated on a stove to 178C. Suppose the skillet is cooled to room temperature, 21C. How much heat energy (in joules) must be removed to affect this cooling? The specific heat of iron is 0.449 J/(gC).arrow_forwardA 5.0-g sample of water starting at 60.0C loses 418 J of energy in the form of heat. What is the final temperature of the water after this heat loss? a 20.C b 40.C c 50.C d 60.C e 80.Carrow_forwardA 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?arrow_forward
- How much heat, in joules and in calories, is required to heat a 28.4-g (1-oz) ice cube from 23.0 C to 1.0 C?arrow_forwardA 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.arrow_forwardLimestone, CaCO3, when subjected to a temperature of 900C in a kiln, decomposes to calcium oxide and carbon dioxide. How much heat is evolved or absorbed when one gram of limestone decomposes? (Use Table 8.3.)arrow_forward
- The BTU (British thermal unit) is the unit of energy most commonly used in the United States. One joule=9.48104 BTU. What is the specific heat of water in BTU/lbF? (Specific heat of water is 4.18 J/g C.)arrow_forwardAn aluminum kettle weighs 1.05 kg. (a) What is the heat capacity of the kettle? (b) How much heat is required to increase the temperature of this kettle from 23.0 C to 99.0 C? (c) How much heat is required to heat this kettle from 23.0 C to 99.0 C if it contains 1.25 L of water (density of 0.997 g/mL and a specific heat of 4.184 J/g C)?arrow_forwardCopper is used in building the integrated circuits, chips, and printed circuit boards for computers. When 228 J of heat are absorbed by 125 g of copper at 22.38C, the temperature rises to 27.12C. What is the specific heat of copper?arrow_forward
