Q: A student heats 24.8 g of a metal, causing its temperature to rise from 20.2°C to 24.5°C, and the metal absorbs 275 J of energy. What is the specific heat of the metal?

$$SH = \frac{275}{24.8 \times 4.3} = 2.6\ \frac{J}{g\ ^\circ C}$$

Q: A cup of whole milk contains 12 g of carbohydrate, 9 g of fat, and 9 g of protein. How many kilocalories does a cup of whole milk contain? (Use: 4 kcal/g for carbohydrate, 9 kcal/g for fat, 4 kcal/g for protein)

$$12 \times 4 + 9 \times 9 + 9 \times 4 = 48 + 81 + 36 = 170\ \text{kcal}$$

Q: How many calories are obtained from a pat of butter if it provides 150 J of energy when metabolized? (Use: $$1\ \text{cal} = 4.184\ \text{J})$$

$$\frac{150}{4.184} = 36\ \text{cal}$$

Q: A 255 g sample of copper is heated from 24°C to 185°C. If the specific heat of copper is $$0.385\ \frac{J}{g\ ^\circ C}$$, how much energy (in kJ) is required?

$$255 \times (185 - 24) \times 0.385 = 15,758.175\ \text{J} = 15.8\ \text{kJ}$$

Q: How many kilojoules are needed to melt 32.0 g of ice at 0°C? (Heat of fusion for water = 334 J/g)

$$32.0 \times 334 = 10,688\ \text{J} = 10.7\ \text{kJ}$$
