- Copper 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_forwardCarbon tetrachloride, CCl4, is a liquid used as an industrial solvent and in the preparation of fluorocarbons. What is the heat of vaporization of carbon tetrachloride? CCl4(l)CCl4(g);H=? Use standard enthalpies of formation (Table 6.2).arrow_forwardWhich evolves more energy on cooling from 50 C to 10 C: 50.0 g of water or 100. g of ethanol (Cethanol = 2.46 J/g K)?arrow_forward
- The “Chemistry in Focus” segment Nature Has Hot Plants discusses thermogenic, or heat-producing, plants. For some plants, enough heat is generated to increase the temperature of the blossom by 15 °C. About how much heat is required to increase the temperature of 1 L of water by 15 °C?arrow_forwardCalculate the heat capacity, in joules and in calories per degree, of the following: (a) 28.4 g of water (b) 1.00 oz of leadarrow_forwardGeneral 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?arrow_forward
- 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.arrow_forwardYou 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.arrow_forwardYou heat 1.000 quart of water from 25.0C to its normal boiling point by burning a quantity of methane gas, CH4. What volume of methane at 23.0C and 745 mmHg would you require to heat this quantity of water, assuming that the methane is completely burned? The products are liquid water and gaseous carbon dioxide.arrow_forward

If heat is added, how can the temperature behave in this manner?arrow_forwardThe specific heat of copper metal was determined by putting a piece of the metal weighing 35.4 g in hot water. The quantity of heat absorbed by the metal was calculated to be 47.0 J from the temperature drop of the water. What was the specific heat of the metal if the temperature of the metal rose 3.45C?arrow_forwardA beaker of water at 400 C(on the left in the drawing) and a beaker of ice water at 0 C are placed side by side in an insulated container. After some time has passed, the temperature of the water in the beaker on the left is 30 C and the temperature of the ice water is still 0 C.
