Q: A student heats 50.0 g of water from $$20.0\ ^\circ\mathrm{C} to$$ $$100.0\ ^\circ\mathrm{C}. If $$the specific heat of water is $$4.18\ \mathrm{J}/(\mathrm{g}\cdot ^\circ\mathrm{C})$$, how much heat is absorbed?

Q: A cup of whole milk contains 13 g of carbohydrate, 9.0 g of fat, and 9.0 g of protein. Using the energy values (carbohydrate: $$4\ \mathrm{kcal/g}$$, fat: $$9\ \mathrm{kcal/g}$$, protein: $$4\ \mathrm{kcal/g}$$), how many kilocalories does a cup of whole milk contain?

$$13 \times 4 + 9.0 \times 9 + 9.0 \times 4 = 52 + 81 + 36 = 169\ \mathrm{kcal}$$

Q: A sample of metal with a mass of $$24.8\ \mathrm{g}$$ absorbs $$275\ \mathrm{J} of $$energy, causing its temperature to rise from $$20.0\ ^\circ\mathrm{C} to$$ $$36.0\ ^\circ\mathrm{C}. $$What is the specific heat of the metal?

$$c = \frac{q}{m \cdot \Delta T} = \frac{275}{24.8 \times 16.0} = 0.693\ \mathrm{J}/(\mathrm{g}\cdot ^\circ\mathrm{C})$$

Q: How many kilojoules are released when $$50.0\ \mathrm{g} of $$steam condenses at $$100\ ^\circ\mathrm{C}$$? (Heat of vaporization for water is $$2260\ \mathrm{J/g})$$

$$Q = 50.0 \times 2260 = 113,000\ \mathrm{J} = 113\ \mathrm{kJ}$$

Accepted Answer

$$150 \div 4.184 = 35.9\ \mathrm{cal}$$

Question 8

Which of the following best describes the energy transformation when water at the top of a dam is released and flows downward?

Accepted Answer

Potential energy is converted to kinetic energy.

Question 9

A sample of metal with a mass of $$24.8\ \mathrm{g}$$ absorbs $$275\ \mathrm{J} of $$energy, causing its temperature to rise from $$20.0\ ^\circ\mathrm{C} to$$ $$36.0\ ^\circ\mathrm{C}. $$What is the specific heat of the metal?
